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

The usual lame jokes and two codebreakers, number 1 not involving mixed numbers, number 2 involving them.

Two codebreakers on simplifying surds, including adding and subtracting on number 2. The usual lame jokes to discover both involving toast and both conceived on the drive home.

D (Data) A (Algebra) N (Number) and G (Geometry) - four bombs to defuse on each area, left by that infamous terrorist "The Mathematician". Each sheet has 6 sections and the questions are more worded. Find the average of the answers in each section to crack the code to defuse the bomb in each case. It's just general revision to get students thinking. It's easier to look at than put into words!!!

The usual stuff, solve the problems to discover the punchline to the joke. I use for a starter or plenary or occasionally a homework.

Three different codes to crack: number 1 is just finding the next term in the sequence (not all are arithmetic), number 2 is substituting into nth terms (with a simple quadratic or two) and number 3 is finding and using nth terms of arithmetic sequences. Each has a punchline to a joke to find. I use these for starters and plenaries or homeworks as they are very easy to mark. Typo on number 1 corrected.

Just a quick starter/plenary on exact results from trigonometry. The usual lame joke is the answer.

One simplifying and one sharing in a given ratio; fairly basic stuff that would be ideal for a homework or starter/plenary. Two lame joke fashioned from my drive to and from school.

Four different codebreakers (and jokes) ranging from simplifying numeric indices, moving to algebraic and then onto evaluating negative and fractional indices.

Another installment in my US Crime drama activities series, this time using "Without A Trace" and symmetry and transformations (get it?!). Pick the shapes with the given symmetrical properties then follow the transformation instructions to find the missing person. It involves symmetry (reflective and rotational), reflection, rotation and translation.

The third installment of my US crime drama series, this time on order of operations. Weed out the criminals (who are terrible at Bidmas) by checking their answers to a question set by Lieutenant Olivia Benson. As with others the worksheets aren't necessary unless you are that way inclined. It could be used as a non-calculator or as an exercise in using the calculator properly.

Two lame jokes from yours truly whose punchlines are unveiled upon answering the negative numbers questions. Number 1 is simple adding and subtracting, number 2 is multiplying and dividing (including Bidmas).

The second in my US crime drama series on negative numbers. Pretty simple stuff involving temperature differences and temperatures being "n times colder". No real need for the worksheet unless that's what you prefer as it's all on powerpoint.

I've decided to do some maths stuff based upon US crime drama shows and this is the first based on differentiation, covering differentiation (including negative indices), gradients at certain points, turning points (maximum and minimum) and finally increasing/decreasing functions at certain points. The worksheets aren't massively necessary as it's been designed to work from the powerpoint but they are there to give you the option.

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 probability scales (G/1), probability of an event (E/2), expected successes, one event OR another, relative frequency, sample space diagrams (all D/3), tree diagrams (C/4), one event and another (B/5), tree diagrams for independent events (B/6), tree diagrams of dependent events (A/7).

Discover the punchline to the lame joke (I use it in class on a regular basis) by solving the equations involving brackets and fractional parts. I have got "Solving Equations Codebreakers 1, 2 and 3" elsewhere, uploaded a while ago.

A revision powerpoint covering as many aspects of data handling as possible, from tally charts (G/1), bar charts (F/1), pie charts (E/2), averages (D/3), stem-and-leaf diagrams (C/4) including quartiles (B/3), grouped data (C/5), scatter graphs (C/5), cumulative frequency (B/6), box-and-whisker plots (B/6) and finally histograms (A/7). There is a progress sheet to print off and test questions to try/practise.

This works its way up from simplifying basic ratios (grade D/3) to real life ratio problems including recipes (grade C/4) onto conversion graphs (C/4) then direct and inverse proportion including their graphs (A/7) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

This works its way up from very basic simplifying of indices (grade F/1) or reading/writing in standard form (D/3) to simplifying algebraically with negative and fractional indices (grade A/8) and calculating in standard form (B/7) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

This works its way up from solving very basic equations (grade G/1) to solving quadratic equations graphically (grade A*/9) via letters on both sides and quadratics (various methods) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.
