Barbie and Ken's Rearranging Formulae

(13)
Help rearrange Barbie and Ken’s ornamental algebra around their penthouse. I&'d like to thank the person who was brave enough to give me one star but not brave enough to tell me why so that I can try to rectify it.

The Unbelievable Bulk - Enlargement

(10)
Calculate how angry The Bulk is by figuring out what scale factor he's enlarged by and using Bulk's 'Angry Scale'. See how that relates to his 'safety' box and its surface area and volume.

Clumsy Clive On Solving Quadratics

(9)
Clive's made mistakes on his homework again. This time it is on solving quadratics, including the quadratic formula and completing the square in the final two questions. Students need to find Clive's error in each question and involve common mistakes I've seen made in class and in tests/exams. These are designed to assess understanding and to generate discussion.
Broken Turntable Circle Theorems - Worksheet - KS4

Broken Turntable Circle Theorems - Worksheet - KS4

(6)
This is a word document worksheet involving finding the missing angles using circle theorems for KS4. A colleague of mine gave me this idea of using records and circle theorems - you have to calculate the missing angles to get the turntable fixed in each case. I've chosen some of my favourite albums! A separate answer sheet is included.
What Was The Question? - Ratio and Proportion Special
alutwychealutwyche

What Was The Question? - Ratio and Proportion Special

(7)
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).
Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation

Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation

(11)
This was designed as a "taster" session to A Level mathematics for Year10s/11s and builds on what they should know regarding expanding brackets until they discover that you can use Pascal's Triangle to expand brackets. It gives them the chance to investigate their theories and what effect a negative sign makes.

Clumsy Clive On Rearranging Formulae

(9)
Clive is still struggling to get his homework right, this time rearranging formulae being the issue. Your task, or more likely, your students' task (should they choose to accept it) is to check, correct and explain where Clive has gone wrong. Designed to create discussion in class and to check understanding.

Clumsy Clive On Compound Measures

(8)
Clive is having a go at some homework regarding speed, density and population density. As usual with these it is a case of spotting Clive's mistakes, correcting then explaining what he has done wrong. They are designed to create discussion points in class.
Clumsy Clive On Transformations

Clumsy Clive On Transformations

(10)
Clive has two transformation homeworks (the second is more challenging than the first), but as usual he has made mistakes on each of the four questions. The students need to correct Clive's mistakes and explain what he has done wrong. This is designed to create discussion amongst students and with their teacher. The second involves negative and fractional scale factors of enlargements.
Marvel Probability

Marvel Probability

(7)
Dr Doom has designed a virus that has infiltrated superhero gadgets and suits. Find the probability of each hero's gadget working. This involves simple probability, expected outcomes, relative frequency and a challenge of mutually exclusive events. It can be done as a discussion activity or as a worksheet where the challenge is on the back.

Clumsy Clive On Statistical Diagrams

(8)
There are two of Clive's homeworks to check here: one with bar charts, pie charts and frequency diagrams, the second with scatter graphs, cumulative frequency graphs and a histogram. These are designed entirely around discussion both between students and between students and teachers.
