This is designed to help introduce factorising of quadratic equations in order to solve them. This should lead to some discussion.

Work out the equation of the line that the footballers kick the ball along in order to eventually score. There are two versions, one with the pitch and one without due to possible printing out issues.

This is a powerpoint covering perimeter, area, volume from simple rectangles, triangles and other quadrilaterals, then going on to surface area including frustums and spheres. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

Cut the cost of producing your box of Valentine's Chocolates by reducing the amount of packaging you have. Surface area and could be taken to varying levels of difficulty.

This is an attempt to make rearranging equations accessible in real-life.

Spiderman and simplifying fractions, fraction of an amount and fraction of a turn.

Track Pond's car chase of Ernest Stavros Blowfield using the co-ordinate grid provided.

Help Phineas and Ferb calculate the length of the tunnel they are digging under a mountain, and also what angle Dr Doofenshmirtz needs to aim his gun at to hit Agent P.

A revision powerpoint covering as many aspects of data handling as possible, from tally charts (G/1), bar charts (F/1), pie charts (E/2), averages (D/3), stem-and-leaf diagrams (C/4) including quartiles (B/3), grouped data (C/5), scatter graphs (C/5), cumulative frequency (B/6), box-and-whisker plots (B/6) and finally histograms (A/7). There is a progress sheet to print off and test questions to try/practise.

There two sets of tables (one without negative values of x and one with) and equations to match up. There are two more tables than equations meaning that guessing is far more difficult but as an extension students can work out the missing equations of lines. This should encourage some discussion too.

Three levels starting at simple metric conversion, then calculating with different metric units before converting imperial to metric. I used Vampire Diaries as one of my Year 9 class requested it. The worksheet is set out as a "RAG" activity where you prove what you know by answering the questions. It's short enough to be a plenary or starter and the presentation can be split into individual tasks.

This works its way up from horizontal and vertical graphs with their equations (grade F/2) to equations of circles (grade A*/9) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

I found this map of the Neet (Not in Employment, Education or Training) data from 2009/10. I have looked at Worthing purely because that's where I work. Not the most happy statistics, but real-life and relevent to the kids, and might encourage them to get the best grades they can before they because a statistic!

Can you spot which fractions shouldn't be in in picture?

Find out how far Wall-E has to travel on one patrol so that he can charge his battery. It's a short worksheet on perimeter for my low ability Year 9s, but I will use it elsewhere!

The Perimeter Fencing Company like getting the best deal they can for their customers when they put a fence around a ploit, which means no wastage. Calculate the exact amount of fencing required for each plot.

Nothing particularly enlightening here other than I found that using function machines to show how to calculate a dimension given the area formula seemed to work quite nicely with a class of mine. This should be a discussion activity in my view.

Casey is doing the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but keeps making mistakes; can your class help Casey and explain what went wrong? This time Casey is tackling circle theorems, trigonometric identities, trigonometric equations and surds (trigonometry in right-angled triangles). Spot the mistakes…

Casey’s tackling quadratic sequences, quadratic inequalities, factorising cubics using the factor theorem and solving quadratics “in disguise” but making errors again and need your class’ help. Ideal for discussion in class… Designed for use in the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course.

Casey is making mistakes in the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate chapter on Coordinate Geometry, involving gradients, circles (equations), dividing lines in a ratio; can your class help Casey out? This works nicely in class and gets students discussing mathematics. Typo corrected…
