Fun and engaging class game based on the old TV show Blockbusters, with questions on expanding single brackets. These range from fairly basic ones, to questions including negative multiplication and multiplying variable by variable. Split the class into two teams, blue and white. The blue team must try to create a connected blue line from left to right, the white team must try to do the same from top to bottom. Click on the letters to link to the questions, if the answering team gets it right then click “Game board” to get back to the start, and click on the appropriate colour for that team to turn the tile blue or white.

Fun and engaging bingo activity on expanding brackets for use in the classroom to consolidate learning. Printable grids included for pupils to use. Questions range from more basic examples such as 3(x + 5) to include subtraction, non-unitary coefficients of x, having the variable as an external factor and the inclusion of more than one variable. Initially the questions are roughly in order of difficulty, but being in PowerPoint format, are easily rearranged should use wish the complexity to be mixed up as you go through.

Fun, engaging and easy to use bingo activity on multiplying and dividing negative numbers.

Starter questions practice division, followed by some examples, a quick checkpoint and a differentiated question slide for dividing decimals by whole numbers and then dividing by decimals. For added variety, I have included my Codebreaker and Silhouette activities.

Two relay activities based on angle properties including parallel lines. One of them contains exam style questions aimed at my middle ability year 8 group, the other has more problem solving style questions, mostly taken from the UKMT Challenge that is aimed at my top set year 9's. Pupils (in pairs) are given question 1 to start at the same time, and when they have successfully answered they get the next question to try. First pair to answer all 16 questions correctly wins!

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers. Pupils take it in turns to try and answer a question, and are peer assessed by the other team. If they get it correct they can put their initials over the space, and the goal is to get four squares in a row. The pupils could also used coloured post-its or counters. Answers are included.
