Sporting Statistics

Sporting Statistics

(1)
I found the 'Research' section on the Sport England website and noticed that their graphs and charts are more aesthetically focused than useful. I therefore came up with this. There's loads of useful stuff on the website (which is hyperlinked in the powerpoint), especially the infographics bit in 'Who Plays Sport?'.
Solving Simultaneous Equations (Graphically) Codbreaker

Solving Simultaneous Equations (Graphically) Codbreaker

(1)
Another fish pun/gag solved by solving the (linear) simultaneous equations graphically. In each case one of the lines is drawn (although it is not clear which one so students will have to work that out too) and they have to draw the other. These work nicely in class, online or as homework and the groans over the jokes are a wonder to experience!
Partial Fractions Codebreaker 3

Partial Fractions Codebreaker 3

(1)
The usual terrible joke revealed having dealt with partial fractions with mixed numbers (a remainder) and partial fractions with (x+n)^2 on the denominator.
What Was The Question? - Properties of Number Special

What Was The Question? - Properties of Number Special

(1)
Four sets of four problems where students have the answer but there are blanks in the questions which require filling in. This is designed to create discussion in class and hopefully provides natural differentiation (stretch the “top end” by finding the general solution where possible compared to finding a single solution). I will be using these as starters or plenaries as I believe they will develop deeper understanding of topics, but feel free to use them as you like.

Perimeter Fencing Co.

The Perimeter Fencing Company like getting the best deal they can for their customers when they put a fence around a ploit, which means no wastage. Calculate the exact amount of fencing required for each plot.
Crack The Safe - Percentages

Crack The Safe - Percentages

(1)
Four “Crack The Safe” activities on percentages. They work their way up from percentage of a number, through multipliers, percentage change and repeated percentage change. These contain six questions but ten possible answers meaning that students can self-check their answers (are they in the list of possible answers?) whilst the teacher can help those who require it. I use these as starters and plenaries but that is obviously up to you.
Crack The Safe - Simultaneous Equations
alutwychealutwyche

Crack The Safe - Simultaneous Equations

(1)
Two “Crack The Safe” activities on simultaneous equations: one on linear equations and one involving a quadratic or circle. These contain four questions but three possible answers for each question; this means that students can self-check their answers (are they in the list of possible answers?) whilst the teacher can help those who require it. I use these as starters and plenaries but that is obviously up to you with the wrong answers offering an opportunity for discussion about what I have done in order to get that solution. Typo corrected!
Angles Codbreaker

Angles Codbreaker

(1)
Find the missing angles on a line, in triangles, in polygons and parallel lines and find the punchline to the fish-related joke. These have worked nicely in online lessons and in-person lessons before that. Students gain confidence as words appear and teacher can help those who really need it rather than those who just want to check that they are going right.
Clumsy Clive On Histograms

Clumsy Clive On Histograms

(1)
Clive has a histogram homework for your students to check. These are designed to get students discussing and thinking about the mathematics. I have also designed this to work online as there is minimal drawing involved (although there is a little).
Twitter Usage Calculations

Twitter Usage Calculations

(2)
I saw a picture on Twitter showing what happens in a minute on the social networking site (lots of my students use it too). I therefore came up with this activity. I'm sure you could make more questions based upon the statistics given.
Sequence Matching

Sequence Matching

(2)
Four sets of sequences for students to match with their nth terms. there is always one extra sequence which doesn't match and this requires students to find the nth term. It's designed to generate discussion. The five sets get increasingly difficult and are all arithmetic until the final two sets which are all quadratic sequences, the first lot being relatively easy, the second not so.
Differentiation Advent Calendar
alutwychealutwyche

Differentiation Advent Calendar

(1)
Twenty four differentiation questions where students are asked to find the gradient of a curve at a given point, order the words associated with each answer in order to form a festive joke. The joke is particularly cheesy; I apologise…
