The usual joke to find the punchline for but two sheets: sheet one is relatively easy whereas sheet two is all mixed numbers. Corrections made to codebreaker 1 - thank you for spotting them for me!

A simple worksheet to practice reading and writing numbers in standard form using the calculator context. I have included the Word documents but the text might not appear in "calculator font" as I had to download a special font (just Google "Calculator Writing Font" and it's the first link and free from a company called "Digital 7").

Trying to put recurring decimals into context is always going to be quite tough, but I thought this would help.

I always struggle for something a little different for recurring decimals and although this is the same old thing dressed up differently it might make them keener to complete the questions!

Decide who won the prize in the quiz by using equivalent fractions. Just a quick starter or plenary using fractions in a bit of context.

Mick owns a printing firm and is doing an audit. His employees like amounts in improper fractions, Mick likes his as mixed numbers. Help both Mick and his employees communicate the amounts of printing equipment they have in stock. Just a quick activity to practice converting...

Convert mixed to improper and vice versa. The usual stuff - find the Tim Vine joke punchline...

Find the appropriate equivalent fraction and find the punchline to Tim Vine’s joke; designed as a bit more practice for some of my Year 7 and 8 classes, but could be useful for others. I have uploaded PDF versions so those who don’t have Equation Editor can see them; no need to thank me…

Calculate how much each person raises by summing three arithmetic and a geometric series.

Very short but a Tim Vine one-liner as the prize!

Answer the differentiation questions, find the letters and reveal the punchline to a (terrible) joke. My class in Year 12 actually request these only to groan enormously when the answer is revealed. Just meant for a bit of practice, a starter or a plenary. Version 2 contains second derivatives.

Scooby and the gang are pursuing various ghosts/monsters on different curves but health and safety have visited Mystery Incorporated and told them the gradients that are safe to drive/slide along. Can you help Velma, Daphne, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby with these curvy conundrums?

Help Batman with his weaponry orders and tidying up the Batcave - can you help Batman arrange all his stuff?

This is higher GCSE or A Level co-ordinate geometry which involves rearranging equations to the form ax+by+c=0, finding an equation given a point etc. The joke made my class groan massively, but I was in stitches mainly due to their reaction!

Figure out the answer to the (awful) joke by finding HCF or LCM of pairs of numbers.

Solve the quadratic equations by completing the square to find the punchline to a (pretty average) joke. My Year 12s liked it as a quick reminder though! Some involve rearranging first and they aren't too difficult - I will use them with Year 11 too.

Calculate the answers to the problems to solve the riddle!

Solve the clues to discover the murderer by deciphering the codes: there's Caesar Cipher, Pigpen Cipher, Solving Equations, Number Problems and Transformations. It designed so that you can put your own class' names in for the suspects, but "Number 5" is always the culprit.

Find the letters with the given probabilities to find the punchline to the joke! I'm particularly pleased with this joke as I made it up!!!

Help Wolverine and Thor sort out their two-way tables and answer the probability questions based upon them.
