Snappers
Snappers, part of the T5 (Targeting Level 5) materials from the National Strategies, are short, whole-class interactive activities based around key areas of mathematics pitched at levels four and five.
Snappers provide starter activities for lessons. The worksheets could be displayed on a computer or the idea can be drawn onto a board.
The Snappers provided with their mathematical topics are:
1. Hundreds and thousands (place value)
2. Sports results (place value)
3. Stepping stones to percentages (percentages)
4. Stepping stones to fractions (fractions)
5. Year 9 maths (ratio)
6. Arrows (sequences)
7. Twelve days of Christmas (expressions and equations)
8. Substitution spider (substitution)
9. Halving rectangles (area and perimeter)
10. Nets of cuboids (nets and solids)
11. Angles and transformations (angles and symmetry)
12. Transformations (transformations)
13. Potato bar chart (interpreting data)
14. Potato pie chart (pie charts)
15. Fairground games (probability)
16. Mean maths (averages)
The teaching notes give learning objectives, suggested questions, and suggestions for development.
The T5 plan suggests a programme for the use of Snappers combined with the other resources, but this is only a suggestion and these activities could be used to enhance all mathematics teaching in Year Seven, Year Eight, Year Nine and beyond.
