Images taken from MrBartonMaths: https://classroom.google.com/u/0/share?url=https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/matching-fractions-to-decimals-snap-game-6042741 Two ways to use the resource matching: cut all the little squares and get the group to match into sets of four. Four cards are missing, complete them to make the sets. Dobble: Each larger card (a set of four smaller squares) has one matching image (they may be different but have the same value) Let me know of any errors I missed

Calculate the missing sides using Pythagoras then use the information to crack the code. pythagoras theorem is used in many real life situations especially in the construction and engineering professions where the accurate construction of a right angle is needed such as in the building of structures or the calculating of non traversable distances.

Volume of cylinders practice (self marking)

Work out the answers to each cylinder volume, all the answers are there. Now has a second version with extra answers at the bottom to act as 'red herrings' There is a terrible joke on there too if you put the letters into the order the questions appear. What did the orchestra buy from the sweet shop "A tuba smarties" Feel free to chop this off the bottom of the sheet if its too bad.
