Every week, we share a simple maths task, designed to open up maths thinking and discussion, without pressure. 

Below you’ll find downloadable starters, prompts, games and mini-tasks ready to use tomorrow.

With your student/s:

• Begin with thinking time – let students process without rushing.
• Invite a variety of answers and strategies – celebrate diverse thinking.
• Use the prompts to extend thinking or support learners.
• Focus on thinking, not speed – build confidence before performance.

These tasks are designed to ease learners into maths, reduce avoidance and build confidence through curiosity and discussion.
