Fortune Teller activities, or Cootie Catchers in the US, are a great childhood game remodeled to test mathematical skills. Check out our blog post (link in document) for further information.
In this cootie catcher there is one cootie catcher sample. This has eight questions requiring students to find averages (mean, median, mode and range) from a set of data presented in a list. The corners of the cootie catcher indicated the differentiation which is to three levels (easy, medium and difficult) and the fourth corner is a “pot luck” section.
This is a sample resource comes complete with instructions, ideas for stretch/challenge and two blank versions of the fortune teller (cootie catcher) for challenging pupils to create their own.

GCSE 9-1 Maths Exam Bills, Statements, Credit, Debit (Task Cards)
This is a set of thirteen different task cards on bills, pay statements, bank statements, credit and debit in which pupils need to find the missing values.
This download also includes a free complementary starter activity “9-1 New Spec Bills, Statement Quick Fire Questions”. Pupils complete the ten quick fire questions on slides 3 onwards on mini white boards. We recommend you use this starter to ensure terminology such as debit and credit are understood and methods are discussed with each question. Each question helps to introduce terminology and recap basic skills of addition, subtraction and multiplication in relation to bills, pay statements and bank statements as required in the new GCSE 9-1 mathematics specification. Pupils will then be able to independently or in pairs tackle the task cards. The task cards can be printed and laminated so they can be used again.

Heat Maps can be displayed or printed for each pair of pupils. Each heat map increases in difficulty indicated by the hotness, the redder/hotter the more difficult the question. Pupils choose a cell to start at and perform the given operation with the corresponding element of the question from the x and y axis.
This heat map requires pupils to find the midpoint between the two given coordinates. This resource is also available as part of the Heat Map Bundle, check it out!
