Four "spiders" to help students become comfortable with algebra and manipulating expressions. There is an extension one at the end and the opportunity for discussion about whether there are many answers etc. I have left some blank ones for students to make up their own.

This is a task involving the four rules (add, subtract, multiply, divide) with negative numbers. Basically students fill in the blanks but there could be discussion about different answers etc.

This is nothing fancy whatsoever, just 5 sets of data to calculate the mean, median, mode and range from. There are two context questions and finally one frequency table to calculate averages from.

There are four spiders (the last one has lost a couple of legs, I realise that!) of increasing difficulty. Fill in the blanks by using skills of adding and subtracting fractions. The final "spider" is a discussion one with many answers and the chance for students to fully demonstrate their understanding.

This covers pictograms, bar charts and dual bar charts. It is just a simple set of 4 queestions, nothing more than it says on the tin.

I (when I say "I", I really mean "students") needed some practise on tally/frequency tables and this is what I came up with. There are three tables to complete: firstly a simple tally/frequency, secondly the students must fill in the categories and thirdly a grouped frequency table (on the other side of the worksheet as a mini extension). Simple but got the job done.

Three questionnaires to correct and design hopefully covering the majority of things that can go wrong. This has no "bells" or "whistles" but just asks the questions I want it to.

All these sheets are available individually for free but if you want to download the lot in one hit then this is for you. These are revision sheets on Data, Algebra, Number, Geometry (hence "DANG"). Each sheet has 6 sections covering the aspects listed in brackets of Data (average, probability, frequency tables, grouped frequency, interpreting bar charts), Algebra (simplifying expressions, solving equations, sequences, y=mx+c, inequalities, substitution), Number (properties of number, BIDMAS, ratio, fractions/percentages, indices, rounding/estimation) and Geometry (measures, angles, perimeter/area/volume, properties of shapes, speed/density, Pythagoras/Trigonometry) up to around B/C or 5/6 grade. All the instructions are on each sheet. Ideal for revision, homework, cover lessons or as a whole class discussion lesson.

These are all available individually for free but are available as one big bunch here. The concept is to choose the correct order to cut the wires by answering the questions correctly - each wire is linked to a question. Not all the wires need cutting to prevent guessing at the end. I use these as starters, plenaries (prove you can do the work tasks) and quick homeworks!

This codebreaker is aimed at high GCSE or starting AS Level students; the usual joke punchline to discover. It contains things like negative and fractional indices, surds, completing the square.

This is a start or end of term activity just to stretch the mathematical hamstrings. Find the punchline to a joke by answering the questions.

This is split into four parts: finding scale factor, enlargement with no centre, enlargement with a centre, enlargement on a co-ordinate grid. It is supposed to scaffold up from basic to relatively difficult, but not too difficult! Typos corrected...

This is pretty basic describing of transformation on a co-ordinate grid with a few "challenge" questions. It involves reflection (in x and y axes), rotation (centre (0,0), translation and enlargement (centre (0,0)). The "challenge" questions involve reflecting in other lines including y=x, vertical and horizontal; rotation away from the origin and an enlargement away from the origin. I have left it in MS Word so you can edit the challenge questions out.

A progress sheet to print out, questions on various topics to check knowledge and focus revision in the places where it's needed. This starts at symmetry (G/F/1), moves onto reflection, rotation, translation, enlargement without a centre (all D/3), enlargement with a centre (C/5), combined transformations (B/6), Congruence and similarity (B/6) and area and volume of similar shapes (A/7).

A progress sheet to print out, questions on various topics to check knowledge and focus revision in the places where it's needed. This starts at measuring and drawing, types of angle (G/1), on a line/around a point (F/1), triangles and quadrilaterals (E/2), parallel lines (D/3), polygons (C/4), bearings (C/4&5) and circle theorems (A/7&8).

These are homework sheets which also contain a QR code to a tutorial video if the students require. I have used similar before and parents (and children) have found the QR code very useful and should avoid the “I don’t get it” excuse as they can get help via the QR code. The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include ratio (simplifying, sharing, recipes, problems), fractions (reading, writing, of a number, adding, subtracting, ordering, mixed to improper), percentages (of a number, increase and decrease), fraction, decimal, percentage equavalence. Each sheet comes with answers.
