Ever since my PGCE I have been convinced that every Maths topic has a unique and interesting way to be taught. 7 years later and I have collected and created 100s of resources to prove my point. All resources, including IB and A Level, are designed to be thoroughly engaging but yet cover every bit of content required with plenty of practise too. Teach LCM with the life of the Cicada bugs or teach proportions using celebrity faces and the golden ratio. All fully animated engaging powerpoints.

A quiz built from my “End of Year Maths Quiz Builder” resource. I used Teams to share my screen with the students and instructed them to make their own mini groups on Teams just in text conversation so they can discuss answers. Keep track of scores using the Excel spreadsheet and be ready to send files to students for different rounds. It was a little time consuming but I got students to send their answers to me and then I sent them out to other teams for marking between each round. Good luck and stay safe!
Easy lessons to pull out when you haven't quite found the time to plan something. Lessons that add to their mathematical knowledge but can easily be slotted in mid topic. Some of these work perfectly for end of term lessons when students ask "Are we going to do something fun today?"
This activity runs on OneNote so students will need access to a computer. As it is done using online OneNote they do not need an account for it - just click the link and go! The powerpoint is for teachers reference to help guide students when they get stuck - the answers to each room can be found in the NOTES part of the Powerpoint. The only way I know to share this with students is using a share link which shares my original uneditable OneNote file. This does mean you will not be able to edit anything. If you spot a mistake, tell me and I will fix my original file and this will in turn fix it for anyone using the share link! If for some reason the share link stops working - just let me know and I will send you another share link. I have put the share link at the start of the powerpoint.
HOW IT WORKS:
Send the share link to students. DO NOT send the powerpoint to students.
Each page represents a room which gives a code to access the password protected next page. Their aim is to access the final page.
It works better in pairs.
The Powerpoint is just for you. You only need to share the link with them.
The final room tells you the 4 digit code to “the safe”. I have an actual small safe i bought online which i can easily change the code to and just put a bag of sweets in it. You could just tell them to “escape” to win or tell you the code to the safe to win.
