Pixel Perfection
This investigation from Cre8ate maths involves students in finding the best size screen for a television. If you have a large flat screen and view a standard analogue or digital picture the individual pixels are visible if you are sitting too close to the screen. Working in small groups of 3 or 4, students measure...
Pixel your space: geometry behind science and art images
This resource, aimed at primary learners, links mathematics, art and science. Children explore how how the number of pixels affects an image and how images from space have become clearer as technology has advanced. They then...
A creative way to develope an understanding of fractions. Seven games offer students practice in identifying fractions, matching fraction equivalents and adding and subtracting fractions.
Game includes 11 double-sided pizzas, three double-sided spinners and game guide. Pizzas are 20cm in diameter. For 2-6...
Pizza Fractions
As part of the series Primary Lesson Starters, this short Teachers TV film clip is designed to be shown in class to prompt discussion about fractions. When a customer orders a pizza she does not expect her friends to arrive at the restaurant and want to share it with her. How should the waitress cut the pizza so...
Pizza Fractions
Students are presented with a picture of a circle of which a fraction is shaded, a fraction written in words or a fraction written as a number and are required to complete the missing forms. Further tasks require students to identify into what fractions pizzas have been sliced. Finally, students are required to...
Pizza fractions
This STEM activity introduces pupils to fractions by giving them the opportunity to cut a pizza in a range of ways. Pupils will be able to show how pizza can be shared into equal parts and recognise halves and quarters as part of a whole unit. This activity could be used as a starter or main activity to introduce...
Pizza party modelling
This set of five lessons introduces pupils to data modelling using spreadsheets through the theme of a class pizza party. Pupils will develop their computational thinking skills of abstraction, decomposition, algorithms and evaluation and combine different types of software to present their work. These sessions...
Pizza Pickle Scratch Debugging Activity
This Barefoot Computing activity challenges lower-primary children to debug simple Scratch programs that assemble pizzas on-screen. A simple four-step process for systematic debugging is demonstrated.
Using logical...
