Clive is having more problems with his homework, but this time it's converting metric measures. Have a look at Clive's homework solutions, correct them and explain what he's done so that he doesn't make the same mistakes again. This activity really encourages discussion between students and teacher.

All triangles and quarilaterals plus a regular polygon slide with 8 statements that students must decide whether they are always, sometimes or never true. This should create discussion. I have said that squares are a type of rectangle, and a rhombus is a type of parallelogram.

I've recently discovered this in my folders on my computer. It is a 10 question non-calculator quiz using real situations.

Alice and Ben have made Christmas lists. Can you calculate the probability of each getting the following combinations of presents?

I got a request to do an activity using the A Team, both old and new. This is it! Convert each unit so that either 'old' or 'new' A Team understands. The numbers are pretty simple and it is designed to be a starter or plenary.

This is higher GCSE or A Level co-ordinate geometry which involves rearranging equations to the form ax+by+c=0, finding an equation given a point etc. The joke made my class groan massively, but I was in stitches mainly due to their reaction!

Erica has a homework involving the sine and cosine rules as well as trigonometric functions. She thinks she's made mistakes; your students' task is to help Erica spot and correct the mistakes, explaining what she has mixed up. Designed to cover the new A level course and encourage discussion.

This not only lists all the topics on the IGCSE maths syllabus but also gives an example of what they all are so you don’t get the continual question “what does this topic mean?”. I put a RAG analysis against each too so that students can focus revision to where it’s required. A few topics added including expanding 3 brackets, transforming functions, an extra indices example, shading regions (I originally left this off by mistake) and adding/subtracting algebraic fractions. I have just added some more examples of transformations and constructions plus summing arithmetic sequences and recurring decimals. Also includes Sparx activity codes (you can delete if you don’t want those). There are now answers (which I have done quite quickly so hopefully not too many errors!).

There are four activities. The first is reading from a distance-time graph of one of EB’s deliveries. The ere are two sets of information where you must draw the distance-time graph. The final activity is where students make their own journey then graph it. I have also put a link to a clip from YouTube of ‘Rise of the Guardians’.

KS3 / GCSE questions quiz. This is for use as a team game - choose an Avenger and then choose one of their 3 questions and answer within 1 minute to win 5 points. The quiz is all hyperlinked so just click on the appropriate bit to get to the appropriate slide.

Help Spidey by measuring the three figure bearings that each villain is on.

Answer the currency conversion question reveal a joke; good for starters or plenaries as well as main tasks but also useful due to the fact that they are self-marking so students know that they understand what to do quite quickly.

Three enlargements for the students to solve for the animators of the sequel to classic eighties Disney hit 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids' It involves co-ordinate grids, fractional and negative enlargements that they have to describe.

Clive is getting confused on his homework again; this time it's sets and Venn diagrams. Your class' job is to check, correct and explain why Clive has gone wrong. This is designed to create discussion in class.

Select the correct answer from the list given that satisfies the inequalities. It will produce an anagram...

Decide who won the prize in the quiz by using equivalent fractions. Just a quick starter or plenary using fractions in a bit of context.

Tutorial with questions taking you through primes, multiples, writing and reading numbers, directed numbers (negative numbers), prime factors, HCF and LCM.

Fill in the blanks to simplify using the rules of indices. This should create some discussion in class regarding negative indices and how they could be written.

Having seen a link to a clip from Taken 2 posted by @dwatson802 (thank you, by the way) I came up with this. I was going to do more from Taken 2 but couldn't find a good map of Istanbul! It&'s locus around a point and perpendicular bisector basically with some success criteria.

Your mission is to diffuse a bomb, but as the video explains Ludwig has left clues to the code required. Answer the questions, find the average of your answers in each section to decipher the code. In all honesty you don't need to show the 30 second video, but my classes like confirmation of my stupidity every now and then, so the video exists as a result. It is designed for lower ability students.
