This is a powerpoint covering solving equations of increasing difficulty. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

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.

I found an image of lots of the Star Wars vehicles on the internet and noticed that loads had symmetry; hence this was produced. I have downloaded a Star Wars font hence it’s a PDF as unless you have downloaded the same font the text will be in a dull font. Pretty simple mathematically but could lead onto more difficult stuff.

This is purely codes, using various "famous" codes including Caesar cipher, Pigpen, Semaphore, Atbash (the alphabet backwards) and one just written backwards. Each time the culprit is number 18 and I have left the names blank so that you can fill in with names of your choice.

Inspired by the imminent release of the new Star Wars film The Force Awakens and an article on the BBC's Newsbeat website (linked in the Powerpoint) I created these standard form questions based upon predictions made by mathematicians regarding the Galactic Empire's Death Star. Just a bit of fun really, but eight standard form questions for your students to try, mainly converting from standard form to "normal" numbers and vice versa, but one calculation at the end. There's also some Death Star facts that could provide extra questions if you wish.

This can be used either as a numeracy resource in registration or in maths classes. It's various maths questions linked to a number wall (it's an advent calendar for crying out loud!). It covers lots of different topics in number, algebra, shape & space and data and gets progressively more difficult as you go on. The date should now update automatically! Typos corrected too.

Find out who stole the satsuma from my stocking by solving all the clues (it will always be person 14 by the way). I have left the suspect sheet blank so that you can enter the names you wish; I've used classes, colleagues, celebrities when I've done similar things. Each clue eliminates half of the remaining suspects and should take around an hour depending whether you let them use a calculator or not.

Follow the instructions to find the punchline for my Christmas joke - all the symbols that require transforming are Christmas related.

Quite wordy questions but the maths is simple - crack the code to find the punchline to my (slightly lame) joke.

The usual naff Christmas joke (invented by me) but also some C1 practice required to reveal the punchline. Error corrected on the final question.

Three codebreakers ranging from easy to difficult as you go through them, but all with a Christmas joke (made up by me, so I apologise now) and with all the questions being Christmas-y too. All sorts of topics covered. Hopefully errors corrected (I found one on each sheet!).

Dividing polynomials and the factor and the remainder theorem practise.

Starts easy and gets harder but essentially does what it says on the tin. A challenge for GCSE, a starter for A Level. There may be more hence the "1".
