Designed to go with Chapter 5 of the Echo Express 1 book. Students have to look for vocabulary based on objects you’d find in your room in the Boggle-like grid (the words they’re looking for are provided). Unlike a normal wordsearch, you can go diagonally, sideways, backwards etc. to find the next letter in the word. An example of how to find the word “Erdkunde” (from a different Boggle resource I’ve made) is provided.

An activity that gets students to practise finding fractions of amounts, which also introduces an element of problem solving. Students create their own questions. They pick a numerator, pick a denominator, and work out that fraction of the large number at the top of the screen. They’re aiming to create calculations with the given answers on the screen. Some students might pick their fractions completely at random, whereas others may approach things a bit more logically… There are 6 different activities, with varying degrees of difficulty. Some answers can be made via more than one calculation, but I’ve made a suggestion on how to complete each problem.

This is very similar to the excellent activity from danielabbott89 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mean-from-a-frequency-table-amazon-reviews-6323431 However, the products in that resource are now a bit out of date, so I wanted to make a resource that would have a bit more longevity. Students have to work out the average (mean) rating given by Amazon users to various products - the data is real! The data is presented as a frequency table. Solutions are provided (to 2 decimal places). A good resource to use in a poster-making lesson!

Used with an able Year 10 group as a way to revise factorising into single brackets. Students are given a partially completed multiplication grid with algebra, and must deduce what expressions go in the remaining boxes. As a starting point, look at the 3rd column: by factorising 6x + 8 and 15x + 20, we deduce that (3x + 4) must go at the top of this column. Solutions are provided.

This resource is for students who are confident with Linear and Quadratic Sequences. It covers: Finding the nth term of a linear sequence Finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence Generating sequences Verifying whether a given number is in the sequence Finding missing terms in linear sequences Full answers are provided.

This worksheet (with 15 questions) guides students through the process of finding the equation of a tangent to a circle. I used this with a class of grade 5/6 Higher students, who I thought would probably struggle with the topic without any support. I’ve tried to make the worksheet gradually harder as students work their way through the questions - e.g. the y-intercept is mostly an integer, except for the final few questions. Full solutions are provided.

A division worksheet I made to help my Year 7s practise giving their answers as decimals, instead of just writing the remainder. Full solutions provided, and I’ve also provided the PowerPoint file I used to create this in case you want to make any edits. I designed this to be similar to the “Settler” worksheets you may have seen on Mathsbox, which I use a lot! Students complete each question, then cross their answer off in the Answer Grid (if they can’t find their answer, they’ve made a mistake!). Once all 20 questions have been completed, there will be 5 numbers in the Answer Grid that haven’t been crossed off. Add these 5 numbers up to get the final answer.
