Construct the shapes Deputy Crimes needs for the tools he wants to aid his survival as well as cutting a couple of things in half using only a ruler and a protractor.

Three of the characters are flying around Europe and need your help with the equations of the lines for their route. There are three (all on the same sheet) that get increasingly difficult. Depending on the confidence in this topic topic, start them where you see fit.

A student gave me the name and I came up with the rest. Simple ratio and proportion. I have done a worksheet but will probably use it as a powerpoint and get them to do the answers. The ratios don't get massively difficult, so more for lower ability I would say.

William Billy Black needs your help to work out how many cakes to put on each table at the various events he’s catering for. It’s an exercise in forming and solving equations. They get progressively more difficult and my initial thoughts is that I wouldn’t do it all at once but in three parts.

A mathematician's Christmas tree has to be decorated using transformations. Can you fully describe them?

The designers of the classic game Tetris want to produce a more difficult version of the game. Can you help decide which shapes will fit together with no gaps? This is centred around interior angles of regular shapes and tessellation.

From basic differentiation to finding gradients and turning points to displacement, velocity and acceleration; each one gives the answer to a joke. The "Gradients and Turning Points" one has the words mixed up as I reckon a few will be able to guess the punchline. A couple of typos corrected.

Save Our Satellite - Simultaneous Equations: Trying to find a real life example of where we might solve simultaneous equations graphically I came up with this. Students have to plot to linear graphs and find the point of impact. You could bring in Pythagoras and find out if the two bodies were travelling at the same speed would they actually collide, but I wanted to keep the worksheet to one side of A4.

Can you calculate what the workers in each box are doing on the mathematical building site? It's essentially function machines but where you have the answers but need to find the rules.

Laura Craft, our hero, has slides to go down this time ot complete the game that are in the shape of cubic graphs. we have the equations but not the graphs (you need to draw them) and work out which is the steepest - could you tell from the equations?

Three different activities, each with five questions and a choice of three answers. They must scan the QR code associated to the correct answer to get the next 'colour' in the code. Activity 1 is wordy but relatively easy, Activity 2 a little tougher and Activity 3 that hardest (including factorising quadratics).

A simple worksheet on drawing pie charts with some practise questions. Nothing special, just doing a job.

Scooby and the gang are pursuing various ghosts/monsters on different curves but health and safety have visited Mystery Incorporated and told them the gradients that are safe to drive/slide along. Can you help Velma, Daphne, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby with these curvy conundrums?

Another set of four "spiders" to encourage discussion regarding shapes. It starts with naming polygons, moves on to triangles, quarilaterals and finally 3D shapes.

Erica got another homework to fine tune her differentiation skills regarding implicit functions, chain rule and second derivatives. Predictably it is not going entirely to plan. Can your students help Erica correct her mistakes and explain what she's done incorrectly. Designed for students to display understanding and cause discussion.

This is a series of activities from basic percentages through to percentage change, including repeated change/compound interest. This is designed to create discussion and hopefully will offer something different to just working through an exercise from a book.

Erica is struggling with radians this time and has messed up 5 questions on her homework. Can you help Erica sort out some arc lengths, an area of a sector and some trigonometric equations? She will need her answers correcting and then explanations as to where she went wrong. This should encourage discussion.

Four lots of 4 average and range problems where the students are given the answer but need to find the blanks in the question. Some have one possible solution and some have many solutions which automatically builds in differentiation as you could task students with finding the range of possible solutions. I use these as starters/plenaries but use them however you like (assuming you like them).

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). It focuses on the more “challenging” aspects of indices including negative and fractional. 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.

Four screens each with four questions that have the same answer but the question is missing information; can your class work out what information is missing? This is designed to create discussion (some questions have multiple answers possible) and I intend to use these as starters. Topics include ratio, probability, solving equations, indices, angles and many more.
