This resource can be used with KS3/KS4 and all abilities that are able to construct triangles. I thought the idea of a jigsaw would add something different to this topic. This idea means they have to be very accurate if they want their jigsaw to work. Problem solving is also needed to match the triangles.

I designed a lesson where the students draw a map with key places and key characters then write the story of their journey through their map. Bearings and Scale are the key features of their story. Peer assessment.

This is a 15 questions self answering numeracy treasure hunt. You can start at any question so I tend to get the students to work in pairs then having stuck the questions around the room they start at the nearest question to them physically. This is aimed at higher KS3/KS4 (I have used it with Y7 as well but it is about knowing your group) Includes all elements of numeracy and problem solving.

I have found that the topic of fractions is always something the students do not really like from the moment you say the word so I wanted to come up with a way to teach fractions to all ages and abilities in a way they would enjoy. In this resource is a pack of 32 fractions each with a popular character. Personally I have them laminated and cut out into little cards. There are worksheets which cover: 1. Equivalent Fractions - Addition - Subtraction (ANSWERS) 2. Multiplying and Dividing (inc cross canceling) There is also a notebook file to use in the teaching and questioning part at the beginning/end.

This is an investigation into the race position of formula 1 drivers. I have used this on interview lessons with great success. The lesson revolves around substitution into a set of instructions. Then investigating why it doesn't matter where you start from you always get the same finishing line up. Ultimately the top end students will be able to show algebraic proofs to prove it all works, while the lower students will get practice with substitution. This pack includes: Full powerpoint with starter-questioning-examples of the worksheet-plenary and ANSWERS. A good plenary I use is to get a student to show their proof while the others make sure no mistakes are being made.

This is three memory tasks on: Index Laws Pythagoras Squares and Cubes I print them on A3 and then they work in groups of 3/4 getting to take it in turns to reproduce the poster from memory. I normally have 30 seconds look and 1 minute draw per person. Can take between 20-40 minutes depending on the group. I always award prizes for the most accurate. I have used this with both KS3 and KS4 top/bottom sets and mixed ability it really works and the students love them.

In this document there are extracts from 5 popular books: The Hobbit, Mr Poppers Penguins, The Chrysalids, Curious George and Goosebumps. The task is to use the given reading ability formula to put a reading age on the books. First they can take a guess at ranking the books and taking a guess at the age. There is also a extension with a second reading test for comparison. There is an optional table of results template which can either be given or displayed.

Simple worksheet that has built in differentiation to help introduce reflection in mirror lines. Extension: Reflect in the diagonal mirror line is that the same as reflecting in the horizontal then vertical?

Used as a homework but could easily be used in a lesson.

This is an activity used to introduced probability with equally likely outcomes. The pupils list the months that match the given constraints. There is a set of card to have physical months to play with if they struggle to do it in their head. Used with Y7 and bottom set Y8

This is a Notebook lesson using the rides at Alton Towers to introduce listing combinations.

This resource contains two different experiment handouts. 1. Flipping a coin 2. Spinning a hexagon spinner. (higher ability) Used with Y8.

Grids that use different two step function machines as a lead up to working with expressions. Used with Y7 and Y8.

This is an addition and subtraction treasure hunt that is aimed at Y7 and below. There are two different hunts that cover the higher and lower abilities that a class may contain.

A treasure hunt activity that covers analogue, digital, reading timetables and cinema listings. Used with bottom set Y8.

Worksheet were pupils can label the; Circumference, Radius, Diameter, Chord, Tangent, Sector, Segment, Arc. There is also areas for the written definitions of these words and extension questions.

Used with foundation Y11 and also suitable for KS3. Two tigers have a boundary that they don't like to share and the pupils have to use loci to show how the tigers will share the land.

An activity in which pupils have templates for 6 nets that will have a volume of 100cm3. The more advanced pupils can create their own dimensions. They construct the cuboids and design them like any building they wish to construct Hundred City Used with bottom set Y8.

By measuring the angles and using the key pupils can get the answer to the following Joke/Riddle 'What is the difference between a guitar and a fish?' Used with beginning Y7 just starting out with angles.
