These would be great for KS1 lower. For the the top picture how many rectangles has (Add her) have? How many rectangles in total?
For the bottom picture - What shapes can you see?

Superhero Cheque Challenge.
We love it when we hear that our friends have been using the resources from the Numeracy Shed, and I received a lovely tweet from Year Two of Lowerplace school. The Year 2 children have been using the Superhero themed cheques from http://www.mathematicshed.com/maths-shopping-shed.html to write numbers as words. The children looked engrossed with their task and the cheques look great in their books. Thank you again to @Year2lowerplace for contacting me, you can see more of their great work at:

Thanks to my Twitter crew for pointing me in the direction of these 'Marvel Character Bios' which I took and made into lovely pdfs.
Stacie G (@StacieG86) had the great idea of taking the required info from the character bios and making Top Trumps cards with that info (there are blank Top Trump templates in the Maths Top Trump Shed)
Mike (@WatsED) suggested combining weights/heights etc and finding the mean,median and the mode.
The info could be used in a graph showing tallest to shortest or lightest to heaviest.
I am sure there are many more ideas of maths links for these, please let me know @grahamandre if you use them in your classroom.

Thanks to @gazneedle for finding these great Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D bios. Looking at the info you could find differences and similarities between the agents.
Who is the oldest/youngest?
Who is the tallest/shortest?
Who is the heaviest/lightest?
Us a map and find their place of birth, how far from each other was each agent born?

Superhero Venn Diagrams.
Thanks to Mat (@inspiredmind5) for showing me this Venn diagram and leading me to others. Are their other superheroes that you could put into a venn diagram like this?
| vennofheroes.pdf |
To see the full details you really need to download this one.
Are there other ways in which the heroes could be sorted? Marvel Comics or DC Comics. Born with or acquired powers. Evil - Good.
Are there any heroes that are missing that could fit into this diagram?
Do you know all of the heroes, if not do some research to find out about them.

Take a look at this venn diagram.
Can you spot any mistakes?
Who could fit into the middle of the venn?
Could you think of more superheroes to add to the diagram?

Research needed for these ideas.
What heroes have / haven't featured in films.
Looking at the top five franchises, how many films were made for the gross income? on average how much did each Iron Man film take? How much did each Spiderman Film take? etc. etc.
Can you find out the income for other films such as Blade, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Punisher etc. and put in order of income.

Superheroes Then and Now.

| supermanthenandnow.pdf |
| wolverinethenandnow.pdf |
These excellent infographics can be used on their own or in conjunction with the 'Funding a Superhero' project below.
Ideas:
Take each infographic and break down how much extra in dollars each category has risen.
Do the same but try and work out the percentage increase over time.
Take the percentage in increase and predict how much it would cost to be each superhero in 10/20/30 etc. years.
Can you do the same with other superheroes such as Wonder Woman (1941) or Iron Man (1968), find out the year in which they originated how much to live then and how much now.
If each superhero was getting a salary how much would they need to be paid a month/year to keep up their lifestyle?
Convert amounts from dollars to pounds or euros.
