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.

Usain Bolt worksheet. This is a speed, distance, time activity using the Visa advert of Usain Bolt racing the starter across London from Heathrow. It is an Olympic based activity. Powerpoint now also contains video.

Three worksheets about trigonometric functions and simple transformations.

Test your polygon knowledge by completing the QR code then scan it to take you to Jack Black and Elmo discussing octagons on Sesame Street.

Answer the questions, colour in the QR code where appropriate and get a video of James Blunt on Sesame Street singing about triangles with Telly Monster.

Round the numbers - if it rounds up, colour in the appropriate square; if it rounds down, leave that square blank. When finished it scans to Dead Or Alive's 1985 classic 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)'. Poor pun, but the best I could do!

Cut out the questions and answers, then match them up. Fractional and negative indices to evaluate.

Match the question with the appropriate simplification.

Do the calculations involving the words 'sum', 'difference', 'product' and 'quotient' - colour in the correct squares then scan thew QR code to take you to Cherry Ghost's 'Mathematics'. Kids love it!

Determine what power x is in each case and link it to the correct answer.

Colour in the relevent squares, scan the QR code and you are taken to a video of Depeche Mode's classic 'Enjoy The Silence'.

Describe the transformations of the letters to spell the word 'MATHS'. It was an idea suggested by one of my Year 11s that seemed decent.

This is a pretty simple idea for various abilities where you display a graph and the class have to write down all that the graph tells them, in full sentences! I have included a couple of misleading graphs too, which adds a bit of differentiation.

Help Phineas and Ferb calculate the length of the tunnel they are digging under a mountain, and also what angle Dr Doofenshmirtz needs to aim his gun at to hit Agent P.

This is designed for students to recognise types of graph from their equation. It could lead to discussion too.

A shopkeeper has dropped some boxes of Easter eggs and spilled the contents. Can you help him work oou how many of each sweet goes in the large and small eggs?

A revision powerpoint covering as many aspects of data handling as possible, from tally charts (G/1), bar charts (F/1), pie charts (E/2), averages (D/3), stem-and-leaf diagrams (C/4) including quartiles (B/3), grouped data (C/5), scatter graphs (C/5), cumulative frequency (B/6), box-and-whisker plots (B/6) and finally histograms (A/7). There is a progress sheet to print off and test questions to try/practise.

This is a start or end of term activity just to stretch the mathematical hamstrings. Find the punchline to a joke by answering the questions.

There two sets of tables (one without negative values of x and one with) and equations to match up. There are two more tables than equations meaning that guessing is far more difficult but as an extension students can work out the missing equations of lines. This should encourage some discussion too.

Three levels starting at simple metric conversion, then calculating with different metric units before converting imperial to metric. I used Vampire Diaries as one of my Year 9 class requested it. The worksheet is set out as a "RAG" activity where you prove what you know by answering the questions. It's short enough to be a plenary or starter and the presentation can be split into individual tasks.
