  1. Higher Order Thinking • Lesson Starters & Activities

  2. Putting a different ‘spin’ on a lesson starter is a great way to introduce younger pupils to higher order thinking skills and stimulate meaningful discussion among pupils. The following activities can be used as lesson starters or as stand-alone activities (although be sure to leave plenty of time for sharing answers and discussion afterwards!)

  3. True or False...? This is a right angled-triangle 15 cm 5 cm 12 cm How would you prove your answer?

  4. Find the Fibs! Sarah completed the following lesson starter. Her final answers are shown in red. She made some silly mistakes! 1. Calculate 15 - 6 x 2 3 2. Solve the equation 2x - 7 = 15 x = 4 3. Calculate the perimeter of this shape: P = 24cm2 3cm Find her mistakes and correct her work. 8cm

  5. 2x + 5 = 17 Make up as many equations as you can in the next 5 minutes that have the same answer as the one above. Swap equations with a friend and solve them to check their answers.

  6. Using exactly four 4s it is possible to make all the numbers between 1 and 20. For example: 44 ÷ 44 = 1 and (4 x 4) ÷ (4 + 4) = 2 What other numbers can you make using four 4s?

  7. Answers 1 = (4÷4) x (4÷4) 2 = (4÷4)+(4÷4) 3 = (4 + 4 + 4) ÷4 4 = 4 + 4(4 - 4) 5 = (4 x 4 +4) ÷4 6 = 4+((4+4) ÷4) 7 = (4+4)-(4÷4) 8 = (4+4) ÷ (4÷4) 9 = 4+4+(4÷4) 10 = (44-4) ÷4 11 = 4! / √4 - 4/412 = 4 x 4 - √4 - √413 = 4! / √4 + 4/414 = 4 + 4 + 4 + √415 = 4 x 4 - 4/416 = 4 x 4 + 4 - 417 = 4 x 4 + 4/418 = 4 x 4 + 4 - √419 = 4! - 4 - 4/420 = 4 x 4 + √4 + √4 How many did you get?
