About the Mathematics question bank
Mathematics questions arranged so that two teams can compete at a level that suits them. The bank runs from single-digit arithmetic up to algebra and geometry, and because each team draws from the same pool without repetition, both face equivalent difficulty.
What the questions cover
- Std 1-4
- Addition, subtraction, shapes, counting, time and simple measurement
- Std 5-7
- Multiplication, division, fractions, LCM and HCF, percentages, perimeter and area
- Std 8-12
- Algebra, square roots, angle properties, circle formulas and the Pythagorean relationship

Using it in class
Works well as a revision session before an assessment. Split the class into two halves rather than picking individual players, so weaker students contribute without being exposed.
Both teams draw from this one pool and no question repeats inside a match. How a Tug of War match works
