I wrote this for IGCSE Maths but it could be used at A Level as it involved summing arithmetic series as well as finding/using the nth term.

Given two points, find the gradient of the line between them and reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke (that is cross-curricular as it involves the German language too).

This was designed to lead students into working out how the equation of a line is found, but ultimately it is a fill in the blanks thing.

If the statement is ture, colour in that numbered square, if false, leave it blank. The QR code links to the title sequence from 'The Littlest Hobo' which is possibly the catchiest theme tune ever.

Another fish joke, another set of maths questions to answer. This involves increase/decrease, finding the percentage change, reverse percentages and one repeated percentage change question. Ideal for both classroom and online tasks or a homework.

A mixture of finding and using the nth term of arithmetic sequences in order to reveal a punchline to a joke. These work in class, online and as homework as they offer a bit of competition but also reassure students as words are revealed.

Solve some relatively simple trigonometric equations and reveal the punchline to a joke. This was written with AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate in mind but could be used at A Level.

Find the coordinates described on each function, discover the cheesy joke (given to me by a Year 8 student I teach).

This is designed as part of an introduction to gradient, essentially involving counting squares, but with one question (at the end) where two coordinates are used.

This worksheet has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. This one covers linear sequences (finding their nth terms) and contains an answer sheet. I use these as starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this topic" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too.

Another fish-related joke after some standard form conversions and calculations. Ideal for online lessons but also in-person lessons.

Two fish jokes to find involving gradients: one short one with lines and one where students have to find the gradient between two points. These work in class, online or as homeworks and seem quite popular.

Two fish jokes to discover by understanding y=mx+c and the properties of parallel and perpendicular lines; these are useful for in class, online classroom and homework.

Calculate the cost of the items required using the deals advertised. Reveal a cheesy joke, the usual gubbins…

Another fish-related joke to discover once the HCF and LCM questions are answered. These work well online but also in the classroom and the students seem to enjoy discovering the joke no matter how cheesy. The reassurance of the spelling of a word allows students to get on.

This does exactly what it says on the tin so is the usual: answer the questions, reveal the joke’s punchline…

Designed for AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course (the style of questions in particular) but could be used at A level too. Answer the questions, reveal the (really rather good, even if I do say so myself) joke.

Perform the fish enlargements to generate the letters that form the punchline to a rather lame fish pun. These are all enlargements by scale factor 2 or 0.5 but there are no negative scale factors. There are some letters that aren’t used in an attempt to avoid students guessing the answer.

There are six “Defuse The Bomb” worksheets here involving: one on reflection, one on rotation, one on translation, one on reflection/rotation/translation and two on enlargements (one including fractional, one including negative and fractional). These are designed to create discussion in class, by deciding whether the transformations described are correctly described or not. I have designed these with online learning in mind.

Read the graphs and use the information to draw a scatter graph to compare the sets of data.
