Three questionnaires to correct and design hopefully covering the majority of things that can go wrong. This has no "bells" or "whistles" but just asks the questions I want it to.

Fractions n different contexts including angles, formulae, equations, averages, sets/Venn diagrams and more. Three slides each with four questions of increasing difficulty…

Two sets of questions, one on calculating sides, one on calculating angles, where parts have been missed out. This encourages students to work forwards and backwards and not get into “algorithm mode” and hopefully helps deepen understanding (that’s the plan anyway).

Solve the clues to discover the murderer by deciphering the codes: there's Caesar Cipher, Pigpen Cipher, Solving Equations, Number Problems and Transformations. It designed so that you can put your own class' names in for the suspects, but "Number 5" is always the culprit.

The usual thing involving grouped frequency tables as well as frequency tables, working forwards and backwards.

Just a quick homework, starter or plenary which gives a punchline to a lame joke.

Find where the images of the coordinates are following a transformation, reveal the joke and then (possibly) laugh.

A fairly basic set of tasks plus a picture of who scientists say has a 'perfect face'. A couple of tougher reflections of snowflakes at the end, plus a dodgy picture of me (early in the morning)! Feel free to delete the final picture or replace with one of you.

Either sketch, figure out the equation, state intersections with axes or state maxima/minima of these trigonometric functions or a combination. There are 10 of increasing difficulty and hopefully discussions in class will be forthcoming…

I was asked to come up with some Olympic themed lessons so came up with four, each getting increasingly difficult. One was on drawing statistical graphs based upon medals tables, one on a race track (basically area and perimeter), one on speed and one on parabolas. Tuck in if you think they will be of any use.

Using the 'Chart of the Day' page (linked) I have set some questions on real life data. I'm sure you could all come up with better questions, but hopefully this will give you a start.

Scrat is the sabre-toothed squirrel in the Ice Age films. Watch the video and answer the questions on areas of circles and units of measurement. This is designed as either a starter or plenary. Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etKCHLgW_o0) now on the powerpoint.

Four different codebreakers (and jokes) ranging from simplifying numeric indices, moving to algebraic and then onto evaluating negative and fractional indices. Many more terrible jokes in these codebreaker bundles 🔑 GCSE Algebra Codebreaker Worksheet Bundle Number + Probability Codebreakers GCSE Maths Geometry Codebreaker Worksheets GCSE Maths

WITH CORRECTIONS! The notorious terrorist ‘The Mathematician’ has left a clue to defusing the bomb he’s just planted. Answer the questions and cu the coloured wire in the correct order. This goes from purely Pythagoras, through Pythagoras and Trigonometry up to Trigonometry in non-right angled triangles.

This covers reflections, rotations, translations and enlargements (negative and fractional scale factors) and combinations. Some they have to describe, some they have to draw.

I was given a box of Cheesy Jokes by a student so thought I'd make some codebreakers with them. Some codebreakers turned into 17 codebreakers and a change of name to Cheesebreakers and here you go. The students enjoy the challenge of revealing the terrible joke and they get to practise som questions on the topics listed which include fractions, percentages, angles, circle theorem, inequalities, transformations, equations, surds, ratio, proportion, measures, indices, averages. I will do a Cheesebreaker Taster if you are not sure.

These are terrible cheese jokes discovered by answering maths questions. There are 15 more if you like these. The students like the challenge of finding the punchline in my experience.

These prove popular with many students and colleagues and are perfect for online working due to them spelling out a punchline to a cheesy joke. There are 30 codebreakers in this bundle. Topics covered include: inequalities (regions), cumulative frequency/box plots, probability (including tree diagrams), transformations, circle theorems, set notation, discrete data, factorising quadratics, arc and sectors, averages, statistical graphs and more. Each of these is available individually for free but if you you want them all in one hit then this is for you.

Using Stage 8 of the 2013 Tour de France, a stage won by Chris Froome, can you use his timings (as accurate as I could get from the official Tour website) to answer the questions. It’s basically speed calculations. There are links to the website and a video ‘hook’ at the beginning.

This involves the old water issue, requiring 4 litres when you only have containers of 3 litres and 5 litres, plus an interactive game from subtangent.com. I have done a powerpoint version exported from SmartBoard too, on request, and now I have worked out how to embed the video! Enjoy!
