The activities on this page are sorted into two types:
- The problem solving investigations each present a mathematical problem and provide support in starting to explore it.
- The Mathematical explorations each provide a starting point for exploring an interesting idea with important mathematical content.
Both types of activity include printable student pages, and teachers' notes pages.
