Another maths quiz
Another quick test. I use these at the beginning of each lesson to give practice in working under test conditions, to soak up the latecomers (inevitable in Adult Learning classes whatever OFSTED inspectors may think), and to ‘tune’ people in to the topic we were looking at in the last lesson. I show the answers on an OHP or projector after the 10 minutes and students mark their own work.
This quiz covers HCF, LCM, prime factors and using prime factors to find the HCF and LCM (I present that one with a Venn diagram although I don’t explain the set theory ideas as they are, alas, not on the syllabus these days).
