Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician? Comment recorded on the 24 May 'Starter of the Day' page by Ruth Seward, Hagley Park Sports College: "Find the starters wonderful; students enjoy them and often want to use the idea generated by the starter in other parts of the lesson. Keep up the good work" Comment recorded on the 9 May 'Starter of the Day' page by Liz, Kuwait: "I would like to thank you for the excellent resources which I used every day. My students would often turn up early to tackle the starter of the day as there were stamps for the first 5 finishers. We also had a lot of fun with the fun maths. All in all your resources provoked discussion and the students had a lot of fun." |
Each month a newsletter is published containing details of the new additions to the Transum website and a new puzzle of the month. The newsletter is then duplicated as a podcast which is available on the major delivery networks. You can listen to the podcast while you are commuting, exercising or relaxing. Transum breaking news is available on Twitter @Transum and if that's not enough there is also a Transum Facebook page. |

Numeracy"Numeracy is a proficiency which is developed mainly in Mathematics but also in other subjects. It is more than an ability to do basic arithmetic. It involves developing confidence and competence with numbers and measures. It requires understanding of the number system, a repertoire of mathematical techniques, and an inclination and ability to solve quantitative or spatial problems in a range of contexts. Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in which data are gathered by counting and measuring, and presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables."

Go MathsLearning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths main page links to more activities designed for students in upper Secondary/High school. | ||

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0,2,4,6 or 8)
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number's last two digits are divisible by 4.
A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is a 0 or 5.
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 (see rules above).
There is no simple test for divisibility by seven, you need to do the division and check there is no remainder!
A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits form a number that is divisible 8.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is 0.
A number is divisible by 11 if the alternating sum of its digits is divisible by 11. Alternating sum means a-b+c-d+... – m
A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 and 4.
