Possibly to take my mind off the upcoming GCSE and A Level exams, I have been busying myself by uploading a selection of free maths rich tasks to TES.

Each of these tasks is designed to be “low barrier, high ceiling”, so that every child can make initial progress, but there is still plenty of meat to engage and stretch higher achieving students. Crucially, each task has the opportunity to spark questions, extensions, simplifications, and lines of inquiry for students to follow. For me, this is what effective differentiation should be.

You can find my first 10 tasks here, and I hope to add more as the weeks and months go on. If you find them useful, I would really appreciate it if you could share your ideas for questions and lines of inquiry in the comments section of the relevant resource page. That way the activities just keep on improving!

Thank you 🙂
