Fill in the blanks to reveal the punchline to the cheesy joke. These seem popular with students and can be used as a main task, starter or plenary but you have a brain and don’t need me to tell you how to structure your lessons!

Differentiate the expressions to reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke. I will probably use this as a starter but you can use it however you like…

The usual: complete the questions correctly to reveal the punchline to a joke. This involves chain rule, product rule and quotient rule.

Answer the questions (including algebraic ones) to reveal the punchline. Ideal for starters, plenaries or a main activity and the students seem to enjoy them.

Find the invariant points, reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke… Useful for starters, plenaries and main tasks in my experience but use (or don’t use) however you like.

Integrate the expressions, reveal the punchline… This includes “reverse chain rule”, one integration by parts and where the differential of the denominator is the numerator. A useful starter?

The usual: answer the questions to reveal the punchline to the joke. Can be used in starters, plenaries, main tasks and homeworks!

Based on the daytime gameshow where one question has three options: one correct, one incorrect but correct in a different context, one impossible (wrong). This is designed to test students’ knowledge then their reasoning to find which are the incorrect and impossible answers and why. Topics include: area, angles (parallel lines and polygons), circle theorems, vectors, transformations and more. There are 12 questions…

Two versions: one with words listed and one without. Use the words to complete the sentences.

Complete the calculations, solve the anagrams and find the punchline for a joke! A couple of typos corrected now.

Find the words in the wordsearch then complete the sentences using them. I'd use this as a "plenary" but don't let that influence you.

I produced this as a class of mine were struggling massively with both topics, and the topics are linked. Designed so that you can just use the multiplying and dividing bit or the metric conversions bit separately.

Six students run a race and their races are described; draw the graphs then work out in which order they came.

Using a pole position lap from Nico Rosberg in 2014 can the class firstly sketch a speed-time graph and then draw it using some speeds and times from the lap itself. I have included links to the video and embedded the video into the Powerpoint (I couldn't get a good enough copy for Notebook).

From the map of the circuits can you guess which speed-time graph goes with which graph? This can either be done as an "on the board" activity with discussion as a class or with worksheets as small group discussions. I would suggest that this is quite challenging but happy to be proven wrong! It uses real race tracks and their maps.

Lark Ices and Stannister Dairy differ over metric and imperial measures too. Activities range from converting metric measures to comparing imperial and metric in a battle for ice cream dominance of Easteros!

Can you help the designers at Kelvin Kline complete their symmetrical collection of dresses and t-shirts for next season? Involves reflective and rotational symmetry.

Using the famous "Um Bongo" song from the mid-Eighties a load of measures questions, plus volume and ratio. Designed as a test of functional skills.

Some shapes' symmetrical properties need describing, starting with simple mathematical shapes and moving to other stuff (potential for discussion if you are that way inclined) and then completing a few diagrams to give them symmetrical properties (simple GCSE questions).

I was really struggling for a symmetry homework so I wrote this involving line and rotational symmetry, plus a QR code that links to a video that I found on YouTube in case the students get stuck. Nothing flashy just 3 questions.
