Plastic Deformation: Glass Transition of Some Plastics *
Difficulty | |
Time Required | Average (6-10 days) |
Safety | Adult supervision required for experiments using boiling water. |
*Note: This is an abbreviated Project Idea, without notes to start your background research, a specific list of materials, or a procedure for how to do the experiment. You can identify abbreviated Project Ideas by the asterisk at the end of the title. If you want a Project Idea with full instructions, please pick one without an asterisk.
Some plastics undergo an unusual transition, from a hard, glassy state to a soft, rubbery state, with increased temperature. For this project, you should do background research on the effects of temperature on different types of plastics. Make sure that you understand the difference between thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers. You should also look for information on the glass transition temperature (Tg) for different plastics. Pure polyvinyl acetate has a Tg of 28°C (about 82°F). You can make a sample of this polymer by pouring some Elmer's Glue-All into a plastic bowl or plate and allowing it to evaporate for several days. Cut strips of the resulting material for your experiments. Try dipping the strip into warm water and immediately wrap it around a pen or pencil to make a spiral. Dip it in ice water. Describe the properties of the polymer at the two temperatures. What happens if the spiral is reheated? Additives in the glue may shift the Tg away from that of pure polyvinyl acetate. Use water heated to different temperatures to determine the Tg for your polymer. Other plastics, such as polystyrene (recycling code #6), have higher Tg's. With an adult's help, you can investigate these materials using boiling water. (To raise the temperature of boiling water slightly higher, add a few tablespoons of salt. Search on "colligative properties" to find out how this works.) (Goodstein, 2004, 105–109)Share your story with Science Buddies!

Nice relaxing hotel. Great for a weekend in Aix.

""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 13, 2012
At the lowest heat setting, the room was still too hot. That is my only minor complaint. The hotel was was wonderful!
"Everything was very convenient."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 20, 2012
Very helpful concierge, close to train station and shopping areas, very good breakfast. Also, it was very clean, had free internet, and it had an elevator. Great!
"Nice Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 13, 2012
nice hotel, very friendly staff, the location was far from the downtown.
"Fine place to stay in Aix"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 13, 2012
We really enjoyed our super spacious room with kitchen. Friendly staff welcoming us, even late at night, and always helpful. Probably could have walked to the city center but since we checked out in the morning anyway we decided to drive closer to town.
"Only convenience was the frequent bus service!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 7, 2012
The hotel was quiet but it was surrounded by schools and no restaurants except in the hotel. I didn't realize the train station was so far away so was unable to utilize our rail tickets. The dining room was pleasant enough but the food very predictable. Thank goodness a city bus ran frequently as we had to use it to get to the center of the city for tours and restaurants and shopping. My husband's wallet was stolen getting on the bus and we couldn't call the police with the room phone!
"Unique building, great staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 19, 2012
The Staff at Chateau were amazing, we had an issue with our rental car, and they called Hertz for us, and spoke to them in french to figure out the problem. They made reservations for us for a local winery tour too! The room was OK, considering the age of the property, our biggest complaint was the lack of a shower curtain, the tub was obviously meant for taking baths. Also, the complementary wifi was a welcome change from most of the other hotels we'd stayed in Europe.
"Away from crowds but close to Aix"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 28, 2012
This is the third year in a row we have stayed at the Kyriad. The hotel is close to the Aix train station and is about 20 minutes from the Marsielle Airport. The staff is extremely nice and was very helpful. The hotel also has a nice restaurant attached with a wonderful wait staff and excellent house wine! The room is small by US standards but pretty average by French standards. Some major improvements this year... The rooms now contain a new air conditioning system. This was a major plus especially with how hot this summer has been! The rooms also now have very nice flat screen tvs in the rooms. The parking is gated, and this year, the gate was closed at all times. You needed to buzz the desk (using the speaker at the gate) to enter or exit. A password and username was needed for the in room internet access. The usernames were good for 24 - 48 hours but the staff was great about quickly providing you with the new information. This hotel is located very close to Aix-en-Provence city center, so it was easy to get back in forth to the arts festival. A new Casino (Grocery/ Shopping Center) just opened very close to the hotel and was great for picking up groceries for the week (Water, snacks, change of clothes, etc). We traveled all through the South of France and this hotel was right in the center of where we wanted to be. This is a great hotel if you are looking for a decent place to rest your head.
"Beautiful, but not near opera Aix"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 13, 2012
A lovely hotel and restaurant but we would prefer to stay closer to the opera events and center of town walking. Taxis were called and my phone didn´t work. At least 10 euros each way.

Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, especially those with illuminated miniatures, are unique testimonies to human history. They form a fundamental part of the heritage shaping our world since late Antiquity. Collecting manuscripts is a fascinating, gratifying experience and an elegant way to connect with life, thought and the magnificent art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Here we present and offer books that preserve the finest painting and literature of the period within their pages.
The hand-painted illustrations of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts are cherished collector's items. Since the 19th century, art lovers have bought illuminated leaves and miniatures and mounted them into albums or frames. The concentration on medieval imagery awakened an interest in 'the monuments of the art of illumination'. Valued for their beauty, our miniatures were physically and conceptually transformed in the past to encourage today's direct aesthetic contemplation.
The first printed books, from c. 1450-1500, are called incunabula or incunables. These remarkable first examples of the art of printing from movable type are the pride of every bibliophile and every antiquarian bookseller. In addition to their significance in revolutionizing the written word and its dissemination, incunables often also contain woodcut illustration, sometimes coloured by hand. In the 16th century, the techniques of printing, typography and woodcutting were brought to perfection.
In October 2013, we were proud to present our finest books and miniatures in the stunning environment of the historical Abbey Library of Sankt Gallen. This two-day exhibition was a special highlight among several events this year. The most recent was our Christmas exhibition. As every year, we displayed a number of magnificent manuscripts and incunables in our rooms in Basel.

Anna Breslaw writes for Jezebel: "Widening the already-massive gap between blue and red states' abortion legislature, a California bill drafted in April intended to expand abortion providers to include nurse practitioners, physicians' assistants and certified nurse midwives is on its way to Gov. Jerry Brown for his signature."

Read More...Kevin Drum writes for Mother Jones: "Most of you probably know this already, but it's worth a reminder. All those red states that are passing anti-abortion laws usually emphasize the provision that bans abortions after 20 weeks. That tends to poll pretty well. But it's mostly a charade"
Read More...Katha Pollitt writes for The Nation: "When it comes to abortion, is Europe like Texas with fresher fruit and topless beaches? As pro-choicers battled the Lone Star State's proposed ban on abortion after twenty weeks, conservative pundits shrugged: So what? Texas women will still have more abortion rights than women in many Western European nations. What are you complaining about, liberal feminists who wish you lived in France?"
Read More...Andrea Grimes writes for RH Reality Check: "Last week, a group calling itself Project Defending Life submitted nearly 27,000 signatures to the city council, which needs about 13,000 signatures to put the initiative on the city ballot this October. Voter turnout for that election, which includes a vote for Albuquerque mayor, is expected to be high, and reproductive justice activists are already working to counter the proposed ban."
Read More...Laurie Penny writes for The Guardian: "A great deal of evil is done in the name of protecting people from themselves. In Europe and America, religious conservatives fighting to stop women having abortions have realised they can't rely on the language of sin and shame any more. Instead, anti-choice arguments are being couched in terms of care. Abortion, the rhetoric runs, hurts women – and women aren't capable of making adult decisions about their own bodies. That's best left to the church, or the state."
Read More...Katie McDonough writes for Salon: "Hard as it is to believe, Texas Republicans managed to out-extreme their already-totally-extreme record on Thursday by filing a bill to criminalize abortion as early as six weeks, before many women even realize they're pregnant."
Read More...Carrie Maxwell writes for The Windy City Times: "About 25 people attended a panel discussion on issues of inclusion, self-definition, and politics within the transgender community at the National Organization for Women (NOW) annual conference at the Hilton Chicago hotel July 6. Speakers included Jackie McKethen, executive producer, director and host of "The Jackie Oooo Show"; Danielle Roberts, lawyer and volunteer with the National Center for Transgender Equality; and Nora Scully, McKethen's ex-wife."
Read More...Katie McDonough writes for Salon: "An interesting twist in the story of the draconian abortion restrictions currently being debated in the Texas Legislature: SB 1 could be a major financial boon for Gov. Rick Perry's sister, an executive at a company that operates ambulatory surgical centers in the state."
Read More...Amanda Marcotte writes for Slate: "Friday, the Texas Senate finally overcame Democratic stonewalling to pass a massive anti-abortion bill that's designed to shut down 37 out of 42 abortion providers in the state. In a pique of excitement over the impending growth rate in black market and self-administered abortions in the state, frequent Fox News commentator Erick Erickson kindly offered some medical advice to those suffering unwanted pregnancies."
Read More...Mollie Reilly writes for The Huffington Post: "The busiest abortion clinic in Virginia has closed its doors, the Washington Post reported Monday. NOVA Women's Healthcare, which had been located in a Fairfax City, Va. office building since 2006, needed to either upgrade its facilities or move to a new location after state regulations changed to require clinics to meet strict, hospital-level building standards. The Associated Press reports that the clinic submitted an application to retrofit another space to meet the new codes, but was denied due to inadequate parking."
Read More...Robin Marty writes for RH Reality Check: "A contentions bill that would require health teachers to inform seventh-grade students that abortion—along with smoking, drinking, drug use, and lack of prenatal care—can affect carrying a pregnancy to full term, passed a first reading in the North Carolina house Wednesday. Although the abortion claim has no basis in medical fact, 73 state senators voted in favor of it."
Read More...Igor Volsky writes for Think Progress: "Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) directly attacked state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) during a speech at the National Right To Life conference on Thursday, arguing that the state senator who filibustered for 13 hours to defeat an omnibus anti-abortion bill, should have learned from her own life experiences as a single mother to value 'every life.'"
Read More...Judy Nicastro writes in an editorial for The New York Times: "I believe that parenthood starts before conception, at the moment you decide you want a child, and are ready and able to create a safe and loving home for her or him. I support abortion rights, but I reject the false distinction between the terms 'pro-choice' and 'pro-life.' Here's why."

If you've ever lived in Boston, it's probably one of your favorite places in the world. It's certainly one of the most unique. Ask ten people what they love about Boston and you'll get ten different answers. Boston's quirky; it's the One Man Band guy playing oldies but goodies on Newbury Street and grown men quacking on duck boats. Boston's historic: The Kennedy's! The infamous Boston Tea Party! The Freedom Trail! Boston is sports paradise: if you want to eat, sleep, and breathe sports (warning: it smells like Fenway Franks), this is the place to do it. And of course, Boston's wicked smart; there are over 50 colleges & universities in the Greater Boston area, including Harvard and MIT. It has the art, food, and nightlife of a big city, with the friendliness and heart of a small town. Boston is one of a kind – just ask that One Man Band guy.

Key Additions
Keith Ballard, Jonathon Blum, Matt Cooke, Nino Niederreiter.
Key Subtractions
Matt Cullen, Devin Setoguchi, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Cal Clutterbuck, Tom Gilbert, Justin Falk.
Last year: The Wild entered 2012-13 with high hopes after an uncharacteristic spending spree netted them last summer's two hottest free agents in Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.
And once the season started, the on-ice product performed promisingly enough, especially at home. The Wild went 4-2-1 in January riding the newly-revamped roster and a blend of tough defence and standout goaltending, buoyed by the emotional and inspirational play of Josh Harding, who's still mired in his battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
The Wild rolled along at a little better than .500 through to the middle of March and were nearly unbeatable at the Xcel Energy Center, posting a 13-3-1 home record through the season's first three months.
At the deadline, the team went all-in on Buffalo Sabres captain Jason Pominville, hoping his clutch playoff track record would provide the team a boost once May rolled around.
April, however, was disastrous for the Wild with the team winning just five of 14 games. The slump saw the Columbus Blue Jackets breathing down the Wild's neck for the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoffs and the Wild certainly didn't help themselves in the final week of the season by getting blown out at home by the Oilers and Flames.
To make matters worse, Pominville was concussed with just two games left in the regular season, dealing a team fighting for their playoff lives a serious talent and leadership blow.
They won the one that mattered most, though, beating the Colordo Avalanche in a win-and-you're-in final game of the season.
Minny showed some serious pluck in the post-season after losing Niklas Backstrom before the puck even dropped on Game 1.
The Wild took the eventual Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks to overtime in two of the first three games of their opening-round series and even winning one. But the Hawks were too strong for the Wild, who had to resort to third-stringer Darcy Kuemper twice.
This Year: The Wild have a really nice blend of youth and experience throughout their lineup with one common current running through both sides: serious talent.
Captain Mikko Koivu, Pominville, Suter and Parise will shoulder the leadership burden enough to allow the likes of Mikael Granlund, Jonas Brodin and Nino Niederreiter the luxury of working on building up their skills as pros.
If the latter takes place this coming season and provides the Wild with a youthful boost in their secondary scoring, there's no reason why the Wild can't be competitive in their new division.
Backstrom's 2012-13 numbers slid a little from the averages he'd been putting up throughout his career, with the Finn posting a sub-.910 save percentage for just the second time in his career. If he's going to shoulder a similar load this coming season (Backstrom appeared in 42 of the Wild's 48 games last season), the team will need him to be better to start seeing the results they'd hoped for when they sprung for Parise and Suter.
Suter, meanwhile, took the leap forward the Wild expected of him last season. His first year away from Shea Weber proved he was no passenger on the blue line, as he led the NHL in ice-time and being named a Norris Trophy finalist.
The Wild will need him to do that again and hope that his blue line partner – Brodin – suffers no sophomore slump in a lengthened year.
Top Prospects: The Wild didn't get up to the podium on draft day until the 46th overall pick where they grabbed defender Gustav Olofsson.
But the Wild could afford a passive draft, after they saw three of their top prospects make contributions last season in Granlund, Brodin and Charlie Coyle.
Brodin had a stellar debut and made the All-Rookie Team, while Coyle and Granlund both got enough of a look that they should be considered everyday pieces for the Wild this year.
Fletcher also grabbed a high-potential young forward in Niederreiter, who - with some patience and further development - could help make up an explosive combination amongst the Wild's other offensive weapons.
As far as the players in waiting go, the Wild's system is still loaded despite mortgaging their first-rounder and a couple nice prospects to get Jason Pominville at the trade deadline.
Mathew Dumba had another great year in Red Deer, despite being one of the last cuts from Canada's World Junior squad - scoring 42 points in 62 games.
The Wild also have 2011 first-rounder Zack Phillips in the chute, who saw nearly a full season with Houston in 2012-13.
The Long and the Short – How will a full 82-game slate affect the Wild performance after a shortened season?
This is what has to be worrisome for Minny.
The bottom fell out as last season came to a close and had it been a full season, it would just have been the halfway point.
Like it or not, the Wild likely made the playoffs because the Blue Jackets ran out of time to pass them, so if they stumble again in 2013-14, they have to find a way to stop it from being a freefall.
The Wild are young so their legs will be fresh, but the team must find consistency this season fast and, more importantly, maintain it for seven months.
On the Books – What off-season moves did the Wild make to get themselves back in cap shape?
Minny did some minor surgery to do to get into cap shape after the Suter and Parise additions and used both a trade and a compliance buyout to get the job done.
The team was forced to buy out Tom Gilbert's remaining year, which saved them $4 million off the cap.
The team also shipped out Devin Setoguchi and his $3 million cap hit to Winnipeg, getting a second-round pick in return.
Long Division – A look at the intriguing possibilities ahead for the Wild after realignment.
It'll be an interesting experience for the Wild, who find themselves out of the Northwest Division for the first time in franchise history.
The Northwest was effectively dissolved, sending the three Canadian clubs to the Pacific and the Wild and Avs to the Central.
Luckily for the Wild, the Central looks to be a fairly open competition with the Blackhawks as the only perennial powerhouse amongst the seven. The St. Louis Blues will almost assuredly be a playoff team, but if the Wild play up to potential, they can keep pace and hopefully ahead of the likes of Winnipeg, Nashville, Colorado and Dallas.

Dany Heatley, RW - A power forward who has lost at least a step and is far from the days when he was good for 40 goals a season, Heatley is coming off shoulder surgery and played a career-low 18:32 per game, scoring a career-low 0.58 points per game (21 points in 36 gams) in 2013.
However, Heatley still has an opportunity to play on the Wild's top line with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise. Even if that's not where Heatley ends up playing a regular shift, he's going to get power play time -- since 2005-2006, his 108 power play goals ranks third behind Alex Ovechkin and Teemu Selanne -- and playing in a scoring role for more than 18 minutes per game is still ample opportunity for a veteran forward going into a contract year to prove that he can still be productive.

Unquestionably, the additions of Parise and Suter last summer were designed to set the pillars in place for a perennial contender.
That said, one would have to believe that Chuck Fletcher had a better outcome in mind than eighth place and a first round exit for the first year with the two American studs.
So, what – realistically – is the Wild's window to become a competitor and, possibly, a Champion? The clock is ticking, albeit not that fast.
Suter and Parise are in the Twin Cities until 2024-25 … a.k.a. the 'rest of their careers.'
Obviously, the team enjoys the leadership of Koivu, since he's signed on through the end of 2017-18 and Backstrom's got three years under contract, though age will be working against him.
The rest of "the future" for the Wild is likely still on rookie contracts. Brodin, Granlund, Dumba and - to a lesser extent - Niederreiter and Coyle are all still development.
But was bringing on two All-Stars last year a signal from the Wild to its fans that a long, successful future is ahead, or was it intended to be an immediate boost that would instantly make the Wild a force in the West?
If it's the former, then the Wild have nothing but time. But if it's the latter, one has to wonder how much patience the Wild's management and fans will have if they under-perform this coming season.

Did you mean?
Hi, I'm planning to visit Sipadan and several other islands around it this December for three or four days, but the accommodation in these islands are out of my budget. Is it alright to stay in Semporna, take a boat ride to and back from those islands throughout my stay? Or do you have any other suggestions? My budget is around RM150-RM300 per night.
Thank you.
Got air ticket to KK in mid July this year, and plan to spend my time, at least 3-4 days, exploring the wildlife park in Kinatabangan,
May I ask for any travel advise on how best to visit and do the trip?
Thanks fellow travellers!
Is it necessary to book a tour to Kinatabangan prior to arrival in Sukao or is it better to take the bus from KKto Sandakan, take the boat to Sukao and book cruisesand trips with the lodge where you can stay in Sukao?
Is it necessary to book the bed first before arriving?
Many thanks
Can you buy leech socks here
I have 2 more day at Kinabula City after conquering the Mt KK. Where can I go for sightseeing? It's a Sat & Sun. Flying off on Monday.
Any 2d1n island stay & relax?

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Gaurav07 Great location, Comfortable Guestroom and Helpful Staff
The resort is set on a nice location! The guestroom was pretty comfortable and we liked the cleanliness maintained by the staff. Our "Ocean View Room" added spark to our visit. All in all, we had a wonderful and memorable experience in this Balaclava Fort resort.
We would like to recommend this resort for honeymoon couples and for family outings.

The location and facility of the hotel is very good. But the management of the entire hotel is awful in all respect. hence, this hotel should not be classified as a 5 star hotel. It is really a 3 star hotel.
This is not an Intercontinental Hotel. It is more like a Holiday Inn Express.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by van2013 WORST HOTEL STAY EVER
First of all, prior to the check in, i deliberately sent an email to provide all our requests and needs, and having received a confirmation email with details from the Reservations Dept, we thought everything would be settled. Turns out the Front Office Dept had no idea about any of my requests.
At Senso the first night, we were guided to two tables to be seated. Turns out one of these tables were actually occupied by someone else so we had to change tables halfway through dinner. What a horrible first impression.
Literally every day we had to inconveniently go to the Front Desk to renew our keys because they are not working for all our rooms. Housekeeping requests do not respond immediately as requested but instead, to get simple things like toothbrushes and towels, we need to make at least 3 phone calls and wait over an hour. Wifi doesn't function properly either, i can't even access the internet from my room, and i had to stand at my room door to get connection.
For Christmas Eve, we chose to go to Segala Restaurant which turned out to only have one set Lobster menu for convenience. We were initially reassured by the manager that non-Lobster eaters could order separately, but in the end, they were forced to stick with a similar menu. Morever, we had to wait a very very long time in between the courses, the dinner took 2.5 hours and my family was falling asleep before the main course even came!
On the last night, my parents changed rooms to Presidential Suite. In the morning, i deliberately confirmed with the hotel that the room would be available by 16:30 when we plan to return. However, by 17:30 the room was still not ready, and we were told that it would take another hour for them to check in. We had paid for this expensive room and we still cannot get it during normal check in hours? This is how to treat guests on their birthday? The most important part of the trip was also not done well: a specific instruction for the cake to be delivered to the Presidential Suite by 22:00 sharp to celebrate my dad's birthday. I had reconfirmed these details at check in, and every day so as to make sure things would go smoothly. Turns out the delivery came 35 mins late, with an unacceptable reason that there was a confusion between orders?!
When i get back to my room, there was NO blanket on my bed. Which hotel takes away their guest's blanket when they make up the room? I called the operator who told me that the Housekeeping Department is closed, i cannot get a blanket but instead will only get a bedsheet. I had to talk to the manager to get my blanket back.
I cannot believe that nobody at this hotel took any of our complaints seriously and just dusts us off. We will definitely not recommend this InterContinental hotel to any of our friends.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Diana29 Beautiful resort!
We had an amazing stay at Intercontinental Mauritius in December 2013. As IHG Platinum members we received a free upgrade to a splendid Presidential Suite, which we found to be very spacious and elegant. The bedroom on the loft level has a beautiful en-suite bathroom and dressing, and access to two huge terraces, one of which contains a jacuzzi and sun beds. There is an amazing view to the sea from the bed, as well as from the beautiful granite bath-tub.
The living room is very large and decorated with great style, and it offers plenty of space for relaxation and even for small parties.
We would warmly recommend booking the suite, especially if you're travelling with family or a group of friends, as you would have an amazing private space in which to socialize, have family dinners, or even parties.

Filter by: Content type: ALL Problems Articles Games Stage: All Stage 1&2 Stage 2&3 Stage 3&4 Stage 4&5 Challenge level:
This article gives you a few ideas for understanding the Got It! game and how you might find a winning strategy.
Here is a chance to play a version of the classic Countdown Game.
The idea of this game is to add or subtract the two numbers on the dice and cover the result on the grid, trying to get a line of three. Are there some numbers that are good to aim for?
Place the numbers from 1 to 9 in the squares below so that the difference between joined squares is odd. How many different ways can you do this?
Can you see why 2 by 2 could be 5? Can you predict what 2 by 10 will be?
This is an adding game for two players.
Try entering different sets of numbers in the number pyramids. How does the total at the top change?
Can you be the first to complete a row of three?
This challenge focuses on finding the sum and difference of pairs of two-digit numbers.
Start by putting one million (1 000 000) into the display of your calculator. Can you reduce this to 7 using just the 7 key and add, subtract, multiply, divide and equals as many times as you like?
How many solutions can you find to this sum? Each of the different letters stands for a different number.
Place the numbers 1 to 10 in the circles so that each number is the difference between the two numbers just below it.
Find the sum and difference between a pair of two-digit numbers. Now find the sum and difference between the sum and difference! What happens?
In this game, you can add, subtract, multiply or divide the numbers on the dice. Which will you do so that you get to the end of the number line first?
Can you put the numbers 1 to 8 into the circles so that the four calculations are correct?
Different combinations of the weights available allow you to make different totals. Which totals can you make?
Three dice are placed in a row. Find a way to turn each one so that the three numbers on top of the dice total the same as the three numbers on the front of the dice. Can you find all the ways to. . . .
Can you make a cycle of pairs that add to make a square number using all the numbers in the box below, once and once only?
Find the sum of all three-digit numbers each of whose digits is odd.
Can you explain how this card trick works?
A game for 2 people. Use your skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to blast the asteroids.
In this game for two players, the idea is to take it in turns to choose 1, 3, 5 or 7. The winner is the first to make the total 37.
Is it possible to rearrange the numbers 1,2......12 around a clock face in such a way that every two numbers in adjacent positions differ by any of 3, 4 or 5 hours?
Put the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 into the squares so that the numbers on each circle add up to the same amount. Can you find the rule for giving another set of six numbers?
Try adding together the dates of all the days in one week. Now multiply the first date by 7 and add 21. Can you explain what happens?
A game for 2 players. Practises subtraction or other maths operations knowledge.
If you have only four weights, where could you place them in order to balance this equaliser?
Do you notice anything about the solutions when you add and/or subtract consecutive negative numbers?
This problem is based on a code using two different prime numbers less than 10. You'll need to multiply them together and shift the alphabet forwards by the result. Can you decipher the code?
There are nasty versions of this dice game but we'll start with the nice ones...
This dice train has been made using specific rules. How many different trains can you make?
Choose a symbol to put into the number sentence.
Use your addition and subtraction skills, combined with some strategic thinking, to beat your partner at this game.
A game for two people, or play online. Given a target number, say 23, and a range of numbers to choose from, say 1-4, players take it in turns to add to the running total to hit their target.
A game for 2 or more players with a pack of cards. Practise your skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to hit the target score.
How have the numbers been placed in this Carroll diagram? Which labels would you put on each row and column?
Four bags contain a large number of 1s, 3s, 5s and 7s. Pick any ten numbers from the bags above so that their total is 37.
Have a go at this game which involves throwing two dice and adding their totals. Where should you place your counters to be more likely to win?
Starting with the number 180, take away 9 again and again, joining up the dots as you go. Watch out - don't join all the dots!
Delight your friends with this cunning trick! Can you explain how it works?
Place the digits 1 to 9 into the circles so that each side of the triangle adds to the same total.
Vera is shopping at a market with these coins in her purse. Which things could she give exactly the right amount for?
Lolla bought a balloon at the circus. She gave the clown six coins to pay for it. What could Lolla have paid for the balloon?
The clockmaker's wife cut up his birthday cake to look like a clock face. Can you work out who received each piece?
Here you see the front and back views of a dodecahedron. Each vertex has been numbered so that the numbers around each pentagonal face add up to 65. Can you find all the missing numbers?
You have 5 darts and your target score is 44. How many different ways could you score 44?
What are the missing numbers in the pyramids?
What is happening at each box in these machines?
This group activity will encourage you to share calculation strategies and to think about which strategy might be the most efficient.
Using 3 rods of integer lengths, none longer than 10 units and not using any rod more than once, you can measure all the lengths in whole units from 1 to 10 units. How many ways can you do this?
