Another cheesy joke generated by doing some maths, this time it’s listing integers that satisfy an inequality.

Three cumulative frequency graphs, three questions to answer, one joke to find the punchline of.

This is an exercise in finding the best way of buying what a customer wants given four different “deals” on pricing. You can buy more than required but not less which should add an extra bit of challenge. Workings are essential and I have provided answers on a separate slide each time. There are five to work out and this should lead to nice mathematical discussions. I have also put this in a format that could be used easily online if this is desirable.

Calculate the area and perimeter of the card to make the snowman decoration.

Help butler Alfred both direct and find his boss by describing the transformations. This is solely concerned with translation and enlargement. It contain worksheets and powerpoint presentation to support the lesson.

The computers are down and people want to check out so their bills need ot be calculated manually. There's an extension that involves taking off a given amount in tokens.

The bosses at Legoland are building a new scale model of the UK and need your help with the scales. Basically fill in the blanks.

This is designed to test all aspects of y=mx+c. There are 4 different "explosions" of increasing difficulty that should encourage discussion in class and hopefully develop deeper understanding of the concept of equations of lines.

This takes students through simple angles properties (straight line, triangle, full turn etc) to parallel lines to angle properties of polygons and finally to circle theorems. These are not designed to fill a lesson with practice but as starters or plenaries which lead to discussion. The matchings reassure students that their answer is correct or that they may need to check their answers carefully; I have found that the "spare" question is checked far more carefully than with an exercise from a text book.

This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use average, area, quadratics, cubics, speed, sequences, angles and time as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.

Takes you through the skills required to find averages, including frequency tables and grouped frequency. Hopefully the errors are corrected now!

This takes students through the basics of rounding (hundreds, units, dp, sf etc)through to estimation and bounds, including bounds calculations.

The dull version with no logos - shading regions using "no fly zones".

Putting surface area into some kind of context without using wrapping paper (next best thing here mind). Two worded questions and one which involves two different units of measurement.

Even superheroes get performance managed as the Avengers have to read from these graphs during their annual appraisal with Nick Fury. I just wanted a different way of looking at stats graphs.

This (hopefully) does what it says on the tin: I wanted some sheets for students to construct triangles and bisectors so produced this. The constructions all fit in the boxes provided as long as you print them out on A4 paper. We start with constructing triangles, then bisectors, then a rhombus and a perpendicular line from a given point before finishing with couple of challenges (Yin-yang, incircle and circumcircle). Like I say, it is not designed to be flashy just practical.

This is aimed to cover as many aspects of fractions as possible: equivalence, of an amount, adding/subtracting, multiplying dividing but in a fashion so that they have to think about it rather than just have hundreds of questions doing essentially the same thing.

Three “Crack The Safe” activities on solving quadratics, one by factorising, one by completing the square and one by using the quadratic formula; each question (6 on each sheet) has three possible solutions. These allow students to self-check their answers from the possible solutions whilst the teacher can go and help those who require it. I use these for starters or plenaries or as the first task after introducing the topic.

I just wanted something that covers bar graph; this covers “normal”, comparative and composite bar graphs and is designed, in two cases at least, to create discussion.

This is designed as a plenary or starter and should encourage discussion regarding the equation of a circle and it's centre/radius. Four different matching activities to try out of increasing difficulty.
