Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)

My takeaways were definitely going to look into more about ratio tables. Loved using them for inverse proportion. Going to use more etymology. Also going to look into visualisers. (For future first timers you get free lunch and coffee)
