I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

Calculate how much each person must pay based on their orders at McDonald's. The inspiration came from mrslack_maths and his resource linked here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/McDonalds-Simultaneous-Equations-6406906/ which is very nice so go and have a look at that as well!
My daughter loves these things and you can't move in my house for them them so I thought I&'d do a ratio activity involving them. It involves simplifying, sharing and finding value for money.
Batman gets Robin to replace the weapons he uses, but Ironman can only fit a certain number in his suit. This is designed to show reasonably simple tree diagrams with replacement (Batman) and move onto tougher tree diagrams without replacement (Ironman).
Answer the questions - if the answer is an even number colour in the question number in the grid; if the answer is odd or not a whole number then leave it blank. When they have finished they scan the QR code and if correct it will take them to the Depeche Mode video for 'Walking In My Shoes', for no other reason than I had already created the QR code.
I really wanted some frequency polygon work but it is very thin on the ground, so I came up with this. I have also linked the website from which I got all the data. There are two versions; one (Raw Data) where they must tabulate first, and a second (Data Tables) for those you just want to get on with graphing and interpreting.
Help test the formulae the party planner uses to calculate the amounts of each item they need. Very straight forward and intended for a low ability set.
I saw a picture on Twitter showing what happens in a minute on the social networking site (lots of my students use it too). I therefore came up with this activity. I'm sure you could make more questions based upon the statistics given.
Two-way tables, filling in the missing information. I needed some questions on this for a lesson and struggled to find what I was looking for so wrote this. Typos now corrected!
The usual story that links to Cher's 'Believe' (I couldn&'t find a song containing the word 'Share' so you&';ll have to put up with this pun). All worded ratio questions.
The Avengers need your help to display this data successfully, and also calculate some averages etc. This builds up from low ability to high ability in stages, but is designed to be 'dipped into' where you need to. It covers from bar charts, through scatter graphs and frequency polygons, up to histograms and contains the calculations that go with each. The teachers' notes are just as a guide and don&'t need to be adhered to, but I have tried to guess the kinds of calculations that students might perform. Transparency of the title pages sorted!
The usual colour in when (the coefficient of x is) even but leave blank when odd. This involves very basic simplifying up to multiplying out brackets. Links to Madonna's 'Express Yourself'.
If the answer is above 1 colour in the question number, if it's below 1 then leave it blank. It links to Thompson Twin's 'Love On Your Side' purely because it&'s a great song!
The numbers from 1 to 50 are in the grid, if it's a prime number colour it in, if not leave it blank. The QR code links to The Cure's 'Primary' for obvious reasons: the name of the song and it&'s good.
All super heroes have decided to survey people in order to make their operation more efficient, but they need help with stratified sampling. That’s where you come in…
I found this poster with various numbers regarding the World Cup in Brazil and made this activity from it. Change the questions at will. I have also put a link to the website 'My Life In Numbers' as that has a new 'Live Event' measuring from the start of the tournament.
If the answer's even colour in the square containing the question number, if it&'s odd leave it blank. The QR code created links to Depeche Mode&';s 'Get The Balance Right'; great tune, cheesy video!
