In this activity various cartoon characters have been transformed - can the students describe each transformation?

Four different sheets to practise solving linear equations rnaging from simple one step to two step to brackets (including variables on both sides of the "equals") to fractional parts. Designed as a quick starter, plenary or homework.

Compound measures including speed, density, population density and pressure. A truly awful joke as normal.

Solve the quadratics and reveal the anagram of a film - each quadratic gives 2 answers unless there is an odd number of letters in a word when the answer counts just once. The second sheet contains coefficients of x squared that are greater than one and a difference of 2 squares question.

Two trigonometry codebreakers that both involve a terrible joke. The first one is with right-angled triangles, the second requires the sine rule, cosine rule and area of a triangle using trigonometry.

The students have to answer the questions to know which order they ought to cut the wires to defuse the bomb left by the Mathematical terrorist who has left some clues for you.

Describe the term-to-term rules of these then it could be extended to link into nth terms. This is an attempt to show the relationship between the difference and the nth term through comparison and therefore discovery rather than the teacher just saying how it works. I have also thrown in some "famous sequences" that can be discussed.

Decide which buildings are free from zombies (shufflers and nibblers) by using knowledge of congruence and similarity to help Deputy Nick Crimes. The PowerPoint has basic animations (the answers basically) as it was exported from Notebook, but I've no doubt you can add some if you like. There's a worksheet if the students need it.

This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.

I wanted something mathematical for the last lesson of term so came up with this. There are two versions, foundation and higher, so take your pick.

Calculate the answers to the problems to solve the riddle!

Find the percentages of a number to reveal a Tim Vine joke. Error corrected.

The usual joke found by converting times from 12 hour to 24 hour clock and vice versa. Also includes some "worded" times. Designed for starter, plenary, discussion, homework.

Three "spiders" containing increasingly difficult questions moving from just reading the graph through calculating distance travelled to calculating acceleration.

Construction and loci worksheet. Show where Spiderman can go using loci in each of these three situations.

Using loci which criminals are caught in each of the four situations. This involves the locus around a point, perpendicular bisector and angle bisector. Have tried to show rough answers too, if it helps.

This can be used either as a numeracy resource in registration or in maths classes. It's various maths questions linked to a number wall (it's an advent calendar for crying out loud!). It covers lots of different topics in number, algebra, shape & space and data and gets progressively more difficult as you go on. The date should now update automatically! Typos corrected too.

An extremely lame joke but some Pythagoras questions to calculate. Eight questions in total so ideal for a quick homework, plenary or starter; four questions have diagrams and four questions are worded.

This takes students through expanding a single bracket, factorising a single bracket, expanding two brackets and factorising quadratic expressions. Hopefully this should lead them in manageable steps to factorising quadratics, including a few with the coefficient of x squared being greater than 1. When I find errors I have corrected them...

Not the most exciting but worksheets to help with two different ways of performaing long multiplication calculations: Grid Method and 'Chinese' Method (feel free to rename them if you know them by any other name).
