Perimeter area and volume of rectangles and cuboids- (spoons / matching game)

Spoons game: Look it up, there are loads out there but in a nutshell: in groups of four. need three spoons (any other item will do as well) try to make a set of four but passing one card to the left and receiving a card for the right. if you finish a set as secretively as you can grab a spoon when you do that everyone else tries to get a spoon too. person who misses out adds the next letter of SPOONS on their sheet. play continues till all but one have written spoons. they are the winner. can also be used as a simple matching activity.

sine and cosine rule basic practice (code breaker)

15 questions with answers at the bottom including some red herrings. The question "what do you need to be able to use the sine rule?" has the answer "matching letters" when you put the correct letter to each question and read backwards. This just relates to the need for a matching side and angle when using sine rule as many of my pupils seem to think that one rule is for working out angles and the other for sides.

Can you pair up the cards so the question and simplified versions are together. There is a second version where the last column is blank for them to fill in.

In a row game there are two sheets, one for each of a pair of students. All the answers are the same except for two. The pair must work out which of their questions have the different answers. Also they may want to edit the questions so they match up.

Powerpoint is exported from the Notebook file so formatting isn't as good, I converted it so the content can be seen but feel free to tidy it up. Two lessons can be combined into one as needed.

Volume of pyramids and cones (self marking)

(1)
pictures of various cones and pyramids, calculate the volume. The answers are at the bottom along with some red herrings. If you assign the letters to each question then is spells out "one third of the prism" backwards A couple of errors have now been corrected. The original still works but two answers were missing, I will leave it here as that in itself can be a challenge for the group if they know ahead of time.
Inequalities on a number line (codebreaker) - sports set

Inequalities on a number line (codebreaker) - sports set

Decode the questions to reveal different sports by considering the inequalities given. Bonus question can you spot the odd one out. I tend to use these as a 'complete question and swap your question with a neighbour' so they are all doing a different question. As the lesson progresses more of them have answers to help those currently doing those questions.
