Multiplication (Times) Tables, Products, Factors, Multiples, Prime Numbers and Rules for Divisibility form an important part of the RSA Public Key Cryptosystem. It is important that students know (and that teachers always remind them) when they are busy with these topics, that they are learning fundamental mathematics needed to encrypt data and secret messages.

This task, (with key), focuses on ...

Multiplication Tables

Listing Products in a set

Listing all the Factors of an Integer in a set

Listing Multiples of an Integer in a set

The proper notation for Factors, Products and Multiples

The qualities of Prime and Composite Numbers

The Rules of Divisibility of Integers

Best Real Life Math Task for Data and Statistics - Outliers Mean Median IQR

By Daniel

A brilliant Real-Life activity that will cement the subject matter in a way that no normal classroom Math exercise can!

This 12-page task and key is a DIY alternative to repetitive and boring Data and Statistics tasks. Students will use measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion to make real life choices about planting certain crops or not, which sports team will win a game given the weight and height of the players, etc. The product improves students' understanding of the use of the following statistics:

  • mean
  • median
  • mode
  • range
  • quartile 1
  • quartile 3
  • Inter-Quartile Range
  • Lower Outlier
  • Higher Outlier

From 7th Grade math, I hardly teach these topics any more, since students know them well by now. I give them these tasks, and it takes them 2 to 3 days to complete.

Real-Life Math Fun! Introducing the Coordinate Plane, 18 activities with keys

By Daniel

18 exciting activities for children to discover the Real-Life application of Math!

This 8-page task, (with complete key), introduces the use of the coordinate plane from a real-life perspective. Students then transition from the depiction of a real-life situation to the theoretical exercise of plotting points on the coordinate plane and interpreting what they mean.

The task can be used as ...

  • an introduction to the topic.
  • groupwork at the start of the section
  • an assessment at the end of the unit
  • a formative assessment task to see if students grasp what the "dots on the paper" mean.
