Codebreaker - Solving Quadratics (Factorising)

(16)
Solve the quadratics and reveal the anagram of a film - each quadratic gives 2 answers unless there is an odd number of letters in a word when the answer counts just once. The second sheet contains coefficients of x squared that are greater than one and a difference of 2 squares question.

Ludwig von Terrible Mission -Activity & Worksheets

(13)
A KS3 resource activity with worksheets to be completed by students. This was an idea I had that actually came to fruition - it's based around a secret agent type mission. It involves deciphering codes, grid references, bearings, simplifying algebra, ordering fractions and sequences. I did a silly video to introduce it using some of my daughter's puppets. Hope you enjoy it, my classes certainly did.

Erica's Errors On Algebraic Expressions

(10)
Erica is taking A level mathematics but is making silly errors in her homework. Can your students spot and correct the errors, explaining what Erica has done wrong. These are designed to create discussion and reinforce understanding of the topics. This is thefirst A level version of "Clumsy Clive" which covers the GCSE curriculum.

Exploding Equations
alutwychealutwyche

Exploding Equations

(3)
This designed to help students unravel and solve quite complex equations. It could also lead to in-class discussion and there are templates/blank slides to do your own should you wish. The initial idea came from a colleague (thank you Mr Steve...).

alutwychealutwyche

Team Revision Tasks - Statistics 1 (Edexcel)

(3)
These are an attempt to break from the monotony of past papers in the run up to exam season. I have taken 2 questions from past papers and put them on one sheet; I will photocopy onto A3 for students to have a go in groups and discuss. The aims/rules etc are all listed if you wish to follow them and hopefully they all make sense. I have also provided answers.
Properties of Number Explosions
alutwychealutwyche

Properties of Number Explosions

(3)
The aim of this is as a starter or plenary but could be used as a class activity. This activity is designed to get students thinking and discussing properties of number. The aim is to allow students to show what they do/don't know and understand. I have two versions: one where students find the number given the properties and vice versa which I suspect will create more discussion. There will be extra properties I've left out on purpose. There is a blank to make up your own too.

Sets and Venn Diagrams Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Sets and Venn Diagrams Matching

(3)
Six matchings involving set notation and shading Venn diagrams. Hopefully these will encourage discussion in the classroom and they are designed as starters or plenaries where students, since most of the answers are there, are encouraged to try harder problems than they might normally do.

Metric Units With One Direction
alutwychealutwyche

Metric Units With One Direction

(3)
The 1D boys are describing what it's like to be a pop star but using all the wrong units of measurement; the measurements are correct, but the units need converting. This is an attempt to make metric conversions a bit of fun. I have produced two powerpoints depending on the ability of your class: 1. highlighted to make the units stand out; 2. not highlighted.
