My daughter won this in a Christmas cracker (she was over the moon!) but it is full of sequences and I thought it would make a nice little activity for a class or two of mine.

I found a simple bar chart online breaking down where the money from a CD sale goes and came up with this. It's mainly percentages, but there are exchange rates and calculations to be done too. I&'m sure you can all come up with other questions about it, but this is what I dreamt up!

Help William 'Billy' Black anaylise the data he has to see if he will make enough before his abduction by aliens. This includes reading pictograms, bar charts, pie charts, frequency polygons, finding three averages and estimating the mean. I'm sure you can all come up with other calculations/interpretations that they can make too! Hopefully I have corrected the typo too.

A student gave me the name and I came up with the rest. Simple ratio and proportion. I have done a worksheet but will probably use it as a powerpoint and get them to do the answers. The ratios don't get massively difficult, so more for lower ability I would say.

Describe the transformations William 'Billy' Black has use to place the cakes on the tables at the various events. There are 8 of them to describe, getting increasingly difficult. Answers are on the powerpoint only as I couldn't fit them on the worksheet.

William Billy Black needs your help to work out how many cakes to put on each table at the various events he’s catering for. It’s an exercise in forming and solving equations. They get progressively more difficult and my initial thoughts is that I wouldn’t do it all at once but in three parts.

This help William 'Billy' Black calculate how much grease-proof paper he needs plus how much each cake tine can hold. The shapes go from cuboids to a cylinder to a hemisphere to a frustum, so you can start and finish where you like.

Help desperate Food Tech teacher Billy Black with his cake recipes before he's abducted by aliens. Clearly a play on the TV show, but an exercise in simple proportion using amounts of ingredients for recipes - the calculations get progressively more difficult.

Match the questions with the correct answers regarding simplifying indices.

Answer the questions: if the answer is even, colour in the appropriate square, if it's odd, leave the square blank. The QR code then takes you to Depeche Mode&'s 1989 classic 'Personal Jesus', which has nothing to do with negative numbers (the only song called 'Negative' I could find is Mansun&';s effort, but the video is a bit odd).

Round the numbers - if it rounds up, colour in the appropriate square; if it rounds down, leave that square blank. When finished it scans to Dead Or Alive's 1985 classic 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)'. Poor pun, but the best I could do!

Answer the questions, colour in the QR code where appropriate and get a video of James Blunt on Sesame Street singing about triangles with Telly Monster.

Test your polygon knowledge by completing the QR code then scan it to take you to Jack Black and Elmo discussing octagons on Sesame Street.

Cut out the questions and answers, then match them up. Fractional and negative indices to evaluate.

Match the question with the appropriate simplification.

Determine what power x is in each case and link it to the correct answer.

Colour in the relevent squares, scan the QR code and you are taken to a video of Depeche Mode's classic 'Enjoy The Silence'.

Do the calculations involving the words 'sum', 'difference', 'product' and 'quotient' - colour in the correct squares then scan thew QR code to take you to Cherry Ghost's 'Mathematics'. Kids love it!

A set of notes, examples and questions taking students through mental and written methods of these calculations.

Answer the questions, colour in the answers that are even, leave blank the answers that are odd, use your Smartphone to scan the resultant QR code to get a link to Joyzipper's song '1' (it&'s a great song, and I can heartily recommend the album too). My lot(s) love it!
