Code Breaking

Home / Code Breaking

I can be a code breaker

Codes

The investigative nature of the project can be promoted by getting pupils to look at different types of codes.

Pupils will be able to pass on secret messages to each other using an online encoder/decoder – http://www.thunk.com/index.cgi

 

From codes to foreign languages

Write your name in Mandarin Chinese – http://www.mandarintools.com/chinesename.html

Help your pupils to write their name in a range of different languages – http://www.omniglot.com/links/yournamein.htm

Have a go at transliterating your name into the Russian Cyrillic alphabet – http://stevemorse.org/russian/eng2rus.html

 

You can use an online translator to send secret messages. For older pupils this activity could lead to a discussion about the merits of online translation.
