Cartoon Linear Graphs: Get from one character to their sidekick and tell name the line upon which they've just travelled in the graph. An attempt to make linear graphs a bit more interesting.

A set of worksheets where students work out the equations of the lines travelled by the fireworks.

Find the words and use them to complete sentences. Designed for lower ability in secondary school who will then have some notes too!

I wrote this for students who aren't that keen on algebra, so have interspersed some relatively easy numerical problems with similar algebraic problems, getting them to write down their thought process to solve them. The ultimate aim is to show the students that the equations are just like the numerical problems.

Same as all the others - answer the questions and unjumble the letters to find your next destination.

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.

One fish pun on percentage multipliers and one on calculations (including percentage change). Useful for online learning or a classroom activity.

Here’s another one; answer the questions and reveal a rather nice fish-related pun. This involves circumference and area of circles, including fractions of circles at the end. Ideal for classroom, online or homework activities.

Choose the numbers that are either multiples or factors of the number in italics and unjumble the letters to find a football team.

Six students run a race and their races are described; draw the graphs then work out in which order they came.

This is part of a genuine news article from the BBC News website. Students are required to calculate the percentage changes in the article.

Scrat is the sabre-toothed squirrel in the Ice Age films. Watch the video and answer the questions on areas of circles and units of measurement. This is designed as either a starter or plenary. Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etKCHLgW_o0) now on the powerpoint.

No real imagination here, just a quick worksheet to stop the students bisecting a horizontal or vertical and bisecting a right angle. Don't expect anything fancy people...

Slightly harder equivalences to colour in

Cut out the cards and the students use the clues to guess each shape.

Find the letters with the listed probabilities and then unjumble to reveal a name. My attempt at doing something different with probability.

Here are some simple average questions from sets of data, plus one question using a frequency table too, all on one sheet.

Determine what power x is in each case and link it to the correct answer.

A shopkeeper has dropped some boxes of Easter eggs and spilled the contents. Can you help him work oou how many of each sweet goes in the large and small eggs?

Read this piece of news item from the BBC Sport website, then answer the questions, mainly about percentage change.
