Who’s the Hacker?

Maths

STEM

Get your students to take on the role of cyber security experts to help solve a potential hacking threat using their maths skills! This KS3 maths session is an excellent way to bring maths to life through real-world applications. Students can complete the challenge in teams or independently at home with minimal equipment.

To progress through the activities, students must complete maths challenges to work out passwords. Without the correct password, they won't be able to open the next Evidence File or start the next task. All the passwords can be found in a hidden teacher slide in the Who's the Hacker Lesson download pack.
