I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

Converting Units of Area and Volume Codbreaker

Converting Units of Area and Volume Codbreaker

(3)
Convert the area and volume units to reveal the punchline to a joke related to the ocean. These work in the classroom, online or as a homework and students seem to enjoy them, especially the competitive side of discovering the punchline first.
Sets and Venn Diagrams Codebreaker

Sets and Venn Diagrams Codebreaker

(8)
The usual lame joke (quite guess-able hence the anagram version) but sets and Venn diagrams covered in this one. This could lead to discussions and students inventing their own jokes.
Solving Equations Trees

Solving Equations Trees

(0)
Each tree has three or four questions that get progressively more challenging as you work your way to the top. The idea is for a student to start where they think they’ll be challenged and then move up from that point, but ultimately it can be used however.
Invariant Points

Invariant Points

(2)
Four shapes on a coordinate grid each. Describe the transformation given the description of where the points have moved and which points are invariant.
Quadratic Inequalities Codbreaker

Quadratic Inequalities Codbreaker

(0)
Solve some quadratic inequalities, reveal a cheesy joke about fish. A simple but effective concept that always seems popular in my classroom, plus the answers are on the sheet so students know whether they are right or wrong as the answer will reveal itself. Typos corrected…
Codbreaker - January 2021 Bundle

Codbreaker - January 2021 Bundle

(0)
This is a version of the codebreaker with a fish/aquatic joke. Each of the 40+ comes with answers and provides students with a fun challenge that’s slightly different to working through exercises. These have worked well in online lessons. Topics include algebraic fractions, indices, compound measures, area and perimeter, ratio and proportion, equations of lines, inequalities, measures, volume, expressions and many more. Each of these is available individually for free.
Clumsy Clive on Probability

Clumsy Clive on Probability

(3)
Four problems for students to correct for Clive; he has made some common errors on his homework again. This is designed to get the students and teacher discussing probability. Small typo amended.
Percentage Trees
alutwychealutwyche

Percentage Trees

(0)
Six trees to climb on percentages, covering equivalence, of an amount, change and repeated change. Each tree gets increasingly challenging as the tree is scaled so these might be useful for a plenary or starter to inform you of where they feel comfortable/challenged.
Codebreaker - Solving Quadratics (Factorising)
alutwychealutwyche

Codebreaker - Solving Quadratics (Factorising)

(16)
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.
Circle Theorems (Geometric Proof) Codebreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Circle Theorems (Geometric Proof) Codebreaker

(0)
Find an expression in terms of x for y using circle theorems and discover the punchline to a cheesy joke. Designed for AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but could be used as an extension at GCSE. Typo corrected!
Christmas Codebreakers

Christmas Codebreakers

(87)
Three codebreakers ranging from easy to difficult as you go through them, but all with a Christmas joke (made up by me, so I apologise now) and with all the questions being Christmas-y too. All sorts of topics covered. Hopefully errors corrected (I found one on each sheet!).
