Shhhhh! Codes and CiphersThis will be useful for teachers who are trying to provide a problem solving activity for upper KS2 or KS3 students. This activity will challenge students to solve problems, either in a team or on their own. The topic could be used to facilitate a “maths day” in school or be integrated into the curriculum. It brings together maths, literacy, ICT and history in an unusual way.
For:
MathsUpper KS2, KS3, G&T

Teamworking, problem solving and doing REAL maths
IntroductionSolving cryptography problems
generally starts with an idea. Testing out the idea, revising
plans and trying other techniques all encourages determination and adds to
the sense of elation when the message is cracked!
Perform frequency analysis to compare your message with the English
language. Use digraphs and percentages for a real purpose!
Traditionally this activity provides stimulation to the
able, ever so slightly geeky and those with Autistic Spectrum
Disorders.
This will give you an opportunity to engage those hard to
stimulate students within the whole class framework.
STUDENTS WILLDevelop a problem solving strategy that they improve and tweak in order to break different codes and ciphers.
Some may wish to enter the National Challenge in September!
Teamworking, problem solving and doing REAL maths
The historical journey includesAncient Greeks, Romans,
Tudors, Victorians, WW1 and 2.
On this course you will:
Learn all you need to know to run a session in your school!
• familiarise yourself with different codes and ciphers and how to break them!
• take a historical journey learning about different ciphers
• use free deciphering tools• experience frustration and elation
in the same way that your students will!!!
