Is it Possible? contains four activities that that can be used to help decide whether a particular mathematical object or situation is possible to create. Two of the activities are about number digits puzzles, one is about algebraic formulae and one about statistics. Each activity includes ideas for whole class work and challenges for pupils to work at individually or in small groups. Other curriculum areas involved are properties of numbers (multiples, primes, square numbers, triangle numbers); manipulating, substituting into and factorising algebraic formulae; and mean, median, mode and range. There are also many opportunities for problem solving. These involve exploring, generalising, multi-step reasoning and proving, including finding counter-examples. There are detailed teacher's notes for all the activities which can be printed out.
