Make 2-D shapes from missing coordinates
Find the coordinates that creates the required shape - some of the problems have more than one answer. Others (assuming you use integer values and stay on the grid) do not. Various triangles, square, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium.
Final page to identify given shapes - named, congruent, enlargement.
Parallel lines & angle facts quiz
20 quick questions on angles (largely) in parallel lines. Emphasis on use of correct terminology. Could be done on mini-whiteboards, or otherwise as quiz, rather than flashcards.
Draw and interpret conversion graph - miles to km
Scaffolded worksheet asking students to find 4 points, plot these on a conversion graph of miles to km and then use the line to convert 4 other values.

Types of data - discrete vs continuous
Qualitative vs quantitative, discrete vs continuous. 1. Cards to sort into two groups - may think of any way to split. 2. Flipchart to structure lesson with links to short videos etc. 3. PowerPoint quiz - identify whether discrete or continuous.
Percentage increase - scaffolded worksheet
First find 10, 20 and 5% of some numbers. Then questions using these values. Finally questions with other values and with guidance on how to get the correct amount. Could be calculator, but sums should be easy enough without.
[3/2/16 Second version added for pupils who need further practice. 12/7/16 Answers uploaded]
Perimeters of compound shapes with missing lengths
Various shapes (all but one rectilinear). All have missing lengths which need to be found. Two are in mixed units. Answers given in text box. (Delete before printing!)
Ratio - harder worded questions
8 questions. Includes questions where the key to the answer is in the "extra" parts (the difference between the two ratios).

Multiply fraction by a whole number
Visual demonstration/explanation of multiplying a fraction by a whole number using diagrams
Perimeter of compound shapes
Presentation and worksheet for middle ability Y8 students. (50 minute lesson.) Could be extended for students to calculate area as well.
Mixed questions on area of basic shapes
Areas of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and trapezia. Fairly straight-forward questions on area (or using area to find missing sides). Multichoice - so can be used with flash cards.
Metric conversions for area and volume
Straight-forward examples for area/volume using mixed units for length. Can they see relationship?
Solving equations - balanced scales
Illustration of balanced scales for solving equations. 1 and 2-step. [21/1/15] Simple matching worksheet added for 1-step equations. [3/3/15] New version of presentation showing how to deal with the variable on both sides.

BBC micro:bit challenges
A series of worksheets for the BBC micro:bit. Each has a task brief, suggested blocks to use and some extension suggestions. Each has been given a nominal difficulty level (based on my judgment).
The idea is not to give step-by-step instructions but present a set of relevant 'Lego blocks' to put together in the correct order. The blocks appear on the sheet approximately in order, but pupils will need to think about the order and may need to edit specific text or values. Where similar blocks are needed (such as strings for 'win' and 'lose'), they may only be shown once.
'Solutions 1' is a set of screenshots of my ideas on how to meet the briefs. It is not comprehensive; in particular, few of the more 'basic' solutions are shown. The solutions may not all be optimal. It is called 'Solutions 1' in the optimistic reckoning that more challenges may yet come!
Example-solutions.doc is NOT a document file. It is actually a Zip of tokenised files for working versions of the worksheets which can be loaded into the BBC's online editor. (To use, download the file and change the extension from DOC to ZIP.) Do bear in mind that there may be more efficient ways to achieve the same result (not least by converting from the Block Editor to Touch Develop). This is something that bright pupils might want to investigate, especially for harder tasks or to change how long images/text display on screen.
The files with CC in the name are based on activities suggested by Code Club, but using the Microsoft Block Editor (not Code Kingdoms JavaScript).

Circle theorems - flash card quiz
Quick 10 question quiz - identify correct theorem to use to solve problem. (No solutions required.)
Averages from bar chart
Extract discrete data from a bar chart and use to find mean, median, mode and range. Starts by considering a table of data and then two examples of bar charts.
Division using factors
Straightforward worksheet with example of how to divide using factors and 15 questions. (This is so much easier than long division, so long as the divisor can be broken into convenient factors. Wish I had known about this year ago!)
