I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

This does what it says on the tin regarding domain and range. Answer the questions to find the punchline to what is a terrific joke, even if i do say so myself. Ideal for an online activity or in school/homework.
Ten “trees” of increasing difficulty, each with three or four questions also of increasing difficulty. Answers are provided on separate slides and this is designed to allow students to choose their start (and end?) point or to be used as a plenary in each case.
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.
Two jokes to find by multiplying matrices and finding multiples of matrices. This is designed for AQA Further Maths GCSE. These should not cause too many problems for students but might be a good opportunity to do some…
Designed for the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate, it struck me as we were covering matrices that a “fill in the blanks” sheets would (should?) work nicely with them. Hopefully I have come close to hitting the nail on the head… it involves multiplying and transformations.
This is a worksheet with some questions on solving simultaneous equation in three sections. Section 1 is two linear equations; section 2 is a quadratic and y=n; section 3 is a quadratic and y=mx+c. The first two sections fit onto two sides of A4 and part 3 is the extension ultimately. There is a RAG table for students to mark their progress and this can be amended depending on how far you want to go. Students will need to plot graphs and estimate solutions as not all are integers. Typos corrected!
Solve the quadratic inequalities to work out the order in which to cut the wires. I find these sheets useful as the answers appear on the sheet and therefore students can check quickly (without asking the teacher) whether they are on the right track; this means that the teacher can help those who genuinely require it.
Students must work out from the written transformations the transformation matrix in each case to reveal a punchline to a joke. This is designed for the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate qualification.
Designed to be used in the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but could be used at A Level too. Answer the questions, reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke… the usual nonsense.
This is designed to get students thinking rather than getting in to a rut with this. There are columns for questions, factorising, a sketch of the curve and the solution; some are missing in each case.
The usual terrible joke in a bid to get my A level students to remember the exact trig results. These are specifically for the A level curriculum as radians are involved and negative angles in number 3. Number one is available separately.
Fun Pupil Activity. Suitable for KS3 and KS4. Worksheet where pupils solve the equations and colour in all the answers on the grid in order to read Tony the Tiger's text message. Now with an answer sheet.
Four sections of increasingly difficult circle theorem problems, some where students need to draw the question given some of the solution. Explanations are involved in every question too.
Four sets of four problems where students have the answer but there are blanks in the questions which require filling in. This is designed to create discussion in class and hopefully provides natural differentiation (stretch the “top end” by finding the general solution where possible compared to finding a single solution). I will be using these as starters or plenaries as I believe they will develop deeper understanding of topics, but feel free to use them as you like (you will as you don’t need me to hold your hand).
Three sheets of increasingly difficult questions regarding parallel lines and their angle properties. On a couple of questions the students have to draw a diagram given the answer.
