On location in a building yard maths adviser and performer Isaac Anoom presents a selection of quick-fire starter questions for teachers to show to KS3 pupils to get their Maths lessons going. The programme is intended to be shown in sections, with pause points for discussion, clues and sometimes even answers. Items include how to estimate lengths, an elegant use of nets to work out the shortest route across a concrete block, using an architect's drawing to make sense of ratios, area and perimeter, how to measure accurately and work out the volume of a wooden rod, and exploring number sequences in a pile of bricks.
