Definite Integrals

(8)
This presentation just takes you through definite integrals and uses questions from Edexcel; please don't expect anything flashy. If the animations get mixed up I apologise but for some reason Equation Editor doesn't have square brackets onto which one can put limits! Annoying.
A Question of Algebra - What Happened Next?

A Question of Algebra - What Happened Next?

(11)
Choose one of the 6 options and then say what happens next when solving the equation. I used a template (with permission!) for the music from the excellent resource written by DanielBurke - check his resources out as they are top quality. The animations are little clunky, but do the job - I'm sure you could all make it look like Avatar! If you find the answers already on the slide then powerpoint has messed up the animations. Just contact me and I can send you my version.
Gradients of Lines to Equations of Lines

Gradients of Lines to Equations of Lines

(9)
A colleague told me that I didn’t have anything on gradient and so I produced this. The worksheet hopefully leads students from finding a gradient of a line to drawing a line given its gradient to finding the equations of lines and so on. There are 8 sections and a challenge in each section to allow students to prove that they are capable of some quite complex mathematics. It ends with finding the equation of a line given two points on that line but is designed for you to drop in and out at a place of your choosing. Typo corrected!
Tour de Distance-Time Calculations

Tour de Distance-Time Calculations

(5)
Using Stage 8 of the 2013 Tour de France, a stage won by Chris Froome, can you use his timings (as accurate as I could get from the official Tour website) to answer the questions. It’s basically speed calculations. There are links to the website and a video ‘hook’ at the beginning.
The Number Games

The Number Games

(7)
A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams. It's supposed to be non-calculator! I may do a sequel for this as there are a few topics I haven't covered.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Spiders

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Spiders

(8)
Four sheets (two with mixed numbers, two without) to practise multiplying and dividing fractions. This is just a different way of doing some questions and depending on how it's run can involve plenty of discussion.
Differentiation Codebreakers

Differentiation Codebreakers

(7)
Answer the differentiation questions, find the letters and reveal the punchline to a (terrible) joke. My class in Year 12 actually request these only to groan enormously when the answer is revealed. Just meant for a bit of practice, a starter or a plenary. Version 2 contains second derivatives.
The Data Games

The Data Games

(9)
A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games' - original was 'The Number Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams.

Theme Park Inequalities

Watch the videos and then use inequalities and height restrictions to solve some simple problems. This was an idea my student teacher had and I took it in a slightly different direction with number lines etc. It is an introduction to inequalities. Videos now on the powerpoint.
Transformation Codebreakers

Transformation Codebreakers

(14)
I got this idea from Tristan Jones @tris206 who had similar thing which I liked on TES, so I produced my own. I have purposely used a quite obscure joke so that it can't be guessed! The transformations involved are reflection, rotation and translation. For those who downloaded it very quickly, there's a second one!
Clumsy Clive On HCF and LCM

Clumsy Clive On HCF and LCM

(8)
Clive seems to have got a little confused on prime factors, HCF and LCM. His homework involves five questions, all of which he has got wrong. Can you help explain where he's gone wrong? This activity is designed to create mathematical discussion.

Holiday Plans

(7)
I need help converting pounds to euros, miles to kilometres and temperatures. My phone has run out of battery so I have to use a conversion graph to make a best estimate. There are a few silly pictures of me and my head on celebrity bodies to add a bit of fun.
Mean, Median and Mode Girls
alutwychealutwyche

Mean, Median and Mode Girls

(9)
This was an idea one of my Year 10s gave me using the "Mean Girls" films. This covers basic mean, median and mode before moving on to stem-and-leaf (including IQR) and grouped data - there are three very distinct sections moving up in difficulty to enable you to start/end where you like. It's all on the powerpoint to save the planet (no worksheet) but everything can be copied and pasted to create a worksheet.

Clumsy Clive On Error In Measurement (Bounds)

Clive needs your help again - he's struggling on his upper and lower bounds homwork. Designed to create discussion in class and get students thinking about the question. I have used typical errors in Clive's workings.
Clumsy Clive On Algebraic Fractions

Clumsy Clive On Algebraic Fractions

(8)
Dounble homework this week for Clive as he tackles algebraic fractions; he's having a complete nightmare to be honest. Can your class help him out and explain where he's gone wrong? These are designed for starters or plenaries and encourage discussion in class. The second sheet is at a higher level (quadratics etc) than the first.
Andy's SSDD Questions 1

Andy's SSDD Questions 1

(9)
This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use perimeter, area, Pythagoras, equations of lines, coordinates, vectors, equations of circles, expanding brackets, solving equations as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.
