Arithmagon Rich Tasks
I got inspiration for this series of Maths Arithmagons
activities from Jonny Griffith’s wonderful RISPs ebook. If you
haven’t downloaded it, it is available for free here
Here is why I love Arithmagons so much:
1) They are so simple to create and don’t require any special
resources
2) Working forwards allows students to consolidate key
mathematical concepts
3) Working backwards encourages deep mathematical thinking and
creativity, hence effective differentiation
4) They are so versatile they can be used for pretty much any
mathematical topic
5) Students can be set the challenge of creating them for a
wothwhile extension task / homework
Give them a go, and if you or your pupils cannot resist the urge
to create your own Arithmagons, please let me know
And a huge thank you to Erica Richards for helping create these
activities. We both really hope you enjoy them.
