    Y9 Mathematics Revision Game

    This booklet contains all the information and many of the resources needed to play Mathopoly.

     This maths revision game is intended for use as a fun revision session for year 9 students. It covers the topics examined in year 9: numbers; algebra; shape, space and measurement; and handling data. However, it is not all encompassing of the year 9 curriculum.

    The game is to be played in groups of 4 or 5.

    The game should be completed within a one hour lesson, but may be shorted if necessary.

    The questions cover levels 5 to 8. All level 8 questions are marked and, if necessary, can be removed from the game, depending on the ability of the group.

    The score sheets include a column for the students to record the topics of questions they have answered, in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses.

  • Maths Circus

    KS3 - Curriculum based maths workshop

    The Crystal Maze Maths Event is a curriculum based maths workshop for year 9 students. It is designed to be run in a normal classroom lesson and can be used as a revision workshop.

    The event touches on the four different sections of the curriculum recommended for year 9 students: Number; Algebra; Shape, Space and Measures; and Handling Data.

    There are 5 different workstations to the event: Number countdown; Algebra Snakes and Ladders; Desert Island Rescue; Correlation Challenge; and Crystal Maze.

    Overall, the Crystal Maze Maths Event provides a hands-on, fun revision session tailored to the Y9 maths curriculum, which is outside that of normal classroom techniques.
