Open-Ended Maths Warm Up Slides
What if instead of groans and grumbles at the start of every maths lesson, you had a way to build genuine excitement and engagement?
Starting with the interactive spinning wheel to select your daily warm up, you'll get instant buy in from students.
Each warm up is then designed to be low floor, high ceiling, meaning they're accessible to all learners (low floor) while offering significant, complex challenges for advanced students (high ceiling). This allows you to engage and challenge ALL the students in your class.
With fully editable slides you can add, delete and change the questions to suit your class and the topics you're focusing on.
Both 'maths' and 'math' spelling provided to match UK and US spelling conventions.

Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator
This is one of those maths warm-ups that looks simple at first, but don't let that fool you because it gets students thinking flexibly, sharing strategies, and proving there's rarely just one way to tackle a maths problem.
Maths Warm-Up: Maths O'clock
If your students enjoy sharing different ways to solve a problem, they'll love this activity. This low-prep maths warm-up turns a simple clock face into a creative challenge that gets everyone thinking.
Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits
Some of the best maths conversations happen when there's more than one correct answer. That's exactly why this is one of my favourite maths warm-ups. It's a low floor, high ceiling activity that gets every student thinking, no matter where they're at.
