Three sheets; one each on reflection, rotation and translation. Each one leads to a lame joke as usual.

This came from observing a colleague and an idea of making students use their knowledge in a more general way. I have gone from basic angle facts up to circle theorems. I have also (acting on advice) given example reasoning for students to circle on some questions…

This asks students to estimate where a given fraction, decimal or percentage should be within a block; this uses students’ knowledge of the conversion between the three. Inspired by Professor Smudge (Twitter: @ProfSmudge).

Estimate where each fraction is given a “marker” fraction. This is designed to get students thinking about the relative sizes of fractions including multiples and “factors” of the fractions. A discussion about how they reached their answer is what I’m planning to do, but you may well have better ideas. Inspired by Professor Smudge (on Twitter: @ProfSmudge) and his blog (decimalicious.blogspot.com)

Choose the numbers that are either multiples or factors of the number in italics and unjumble the letters to find a football team.

Convert the area and volume units to reveal the punchline to a joke related to the ocean. These work in the classroom, online or as a homework and students seem to enjoy them, especially the competitive side of discovering the punchline first.

This is a non-calculator sheet, using knowledge of exact trig values to solve problems. The joke is obviously hilarious… Designed for GCSE or AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate.

The usual answer the questions, reveal the joke, this time using multiple circle theorems or forming and solving equations using circle theorems.

The usual lame joke (quite guess-able hence the anagram version) but sets and Venn diagrams covered in this one. This could lead to discussions and students inventing their own jokes.

This is purely aimed at Further Maths Level 2 where functions have three distinct parts. The joke is not my best to be honest, but I had to get one that was the right length!

Each tree has three or four questions that get progressively more challenging as you work your way to the top. The idea is for a student to start where they think they’ll be challenged and then move up from that point, but ultimately it can be used however.

Four shapes on a coordinate grid each. Describe the transformation given the description of where the points have moved and which points are invariant.

Solve some quadratic inequalities, reveal a cheesy joke about fish. A simple but effective concept that always seems popular in my classroom, plus the answers are on the sheet so students know whether they are right or wrong as the answer will reveal itself. Typos corrected…

One punchline to find here; it’s simple using of a function machine in each case, both finding an output or finding an input. These seem popular in my lessons…

Solve the inequalities, choose the correct answer from the list and you will get an anagram.

Four problems for students to correct for Clive; he has made some common errors on his homework again. This is designed to get the students and teacher discussing probability. Small typo amended.

Either cut out and group or colour in the cards and tables that go together - just thought it would make a bit of a change to just grinding out questions.

Calculate the exact distance that either Superman or Iron Man have to fly to get to each villain. No need to print as you can use the Notebook file.

Six trees to climb on percentages, covering equivalence, of an amount, change and repeated change. Each tree gets increasingly challenging as the tree is scaled so these might be useful for a plenary or starter to inform you of where they feel comfortable/challenged.

Solve the quadratics and reveal the anagram of a film - each quadratic gives 2 answers unless there is an odd number of letters in a word when the answer counts just once. The second sheet contains coefficients of x squared that are greater than one and a difference of 2 squares question.
