This is a start or end of term activity just to stretch the mathematical hamstrings. Find the punchline to a joke by answering the questions.

This is split into four parts: finding scale factor, enlargement with no centre, enlargement with a centre, enlargement on a co-ordinate grid. It is supposed to scaffold up from basic to relatively difficult, but not too difficult! Typos corrected...

This is pretty basic describing of transformation on a co-ordinate grid with a few "challenge" questions. It involves reflection (in x and y axes), rotation (centre (0,0), translation and enlargement (centre (0,0)). The "challenge" questions involve reflecting in other lines including y=x, vertical and horizontal; rotation away from the origin and an enlargement away from the origin. I have left it in MS Word so you can edit the challenge questions out.

A progress sheet to print out, questions on various topics to check knowledge and focus revision in the places where it's needed. This starts at symmetry (G/F/1), moves onto reflection, rotation, translation, enlargement without a centre (all D/3), enlargement with a centre (C/5), combined transformations (B/6), Congruence and similarity (B/6) and area and volume of similar shapes (A/7).

A progress sheet to print out, questions on various topics to check knowledge and focus revision in the places where it's needed. This starts at measuring and drawing, types of angle (G/1), on a line/around a point (F/1), triangles and quadrilaterals (E/2), parallel lines (D/3), polygons (C/4), bearings (C/4&5) and circle theorems (A/7&8).

These are homework sheets which also contain a QR code to a tutorial video if the students require. I have used similar before and parents (and children) have found the QR code very useful and should avoid the “I don’t get it” excuse as they can get help via the QR code. The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include ratio (simplifying, sharing, recipes, problems), fractions (reading, writing, of a number, adding, subtracting, ordering, mixed to improper), percentages (of a number, increase and decrease), fraction, decimal, percentage equavalence. Each sheet comes with answers.

The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include indices, time (calculations etc), rounding and estimations, place value, multiples and factors, numerical sequences, long multiplication and division.

Each one comes with answers too.

This is just a set of relatively simple transformation questions both on Powerpoint and worksheet. It is split into 5 parts: reflection, rotation, translation and two sets of mixed questions. I have written it with Year 7 or 8 but they could be used for foundation GCSE too.

This is designed to add some "real life" and to enhance to a sequences lesson. It links into the golden ratio and has a link to a YouTube video on the subject. There are invitations to calculate the golden ratio and to draw the Fibonacci spiral.

Some of these are available for free but not all. These are "self-marking" sheets that produce words, pictures, punchlines, names, countries etc. They have been designed so that they offer practice to the student and minimal marking for the teacher so therefore a quick homework, starter or plenary in each case to assess understanding.

This powerpoint uses two scenarios: building site and office. You can choose the order in which you do them or whether to do one and not the other. These are worded ratio problems to discuss and use to establish understanding or encourage verbal explanations from students.

These are all available for free but if you haven’t the time to search for them then here they are. I find these useful for short homeworks, starters or plenaries and if the answer doesn’t appear then they need to check theirs!

All these are available for free but if you want them all in one lot here you go. Each delivers a joke, film or song title whilst practising key numerical skills. I use them for short homeworks, starters and plenaries.

All these are available for free but if you want them all in one hit then here you go. These can be used as a quick homework, plenary or starter and get students to find a punchline to a joke, a film or a song title whilst embedding their newly acquired knowledge.
