X-Men Angles

X-Men Angles

(3)
Charles Xavier has asked Wolverine to run an angles course this term but Wolverine's angle knowledge is a little rusty. Can you answer the questions and explain to Wolverine which angle property you've used? Contains the following: on a line, around a point, in a triangle, in a quadrilateral, parallel lines
The Walking Dead - Season 4 - Perimeter and Area

The Walking Dead - Season 4 - Perimeter and Area

(5)
The survivors have found some mathematically shaped islands which are zombie free. Find the area and perimeter of the islands to see how many people can live on them and how much fencing is needed to keep zombies out. Rectangles, triangle, parallelogram, trapezium, circle and compound shapes involved.
The Walking Dead - Season 2  - Locus and Construction

The Walking Dead - Season 2 - Locus and Construction

(7)
Guide Deputy Nick Crimes past the shufflers and nibblers (zombies) by construction accurate paths upon which he must travel and loci upon which he must pay close attention. Six different situations involving perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors and loci. Worksheet available for student to draw on and PowerPoint has animated answers.
The Walking Dead - Season 1 - Congruence and Similarity
alutwychealutwyche

The Walking Dead - Season 1 - Congruence and Similarity

(18)
Decide which buildings are free from zombies (shufflers and nibblers) by using knowledge of congruence and similarity to help Deputy Nick Crimes. The PowerPoint has basic animations (the answers basically) as it was exported from Notebook, but I've no doubt you can add some if you like. There's a worksheet if the students need it.
Thor and Loki (Locus)
alutwychealutwyche

Thor and Loki (Locus)

(9)
Please excuse the pun in the title but I can't believe it&'s not been done before (maybe it has and I&';ve missed it). Various locus related situations for Thor to navigate in order to defeat Loki's recruits.
Writing Formulae
alutwychealutwyche

Writing Formulae

(41)
A quite basic sheet asking students to write formulae from given situations. For those who aren't overly keen on algebra!
Santa's Algebraic Elves
alutwychealutwyche

Santa's Algebraic Elves

(9)
A little known fact about Santa's helpers the elves is that they are very keen mathematicians. They have written down various bits of information required by Santa in algebra. Help Santa sort it all out. Contains simplifying expressions, solving equations, expanding and factorising and co-ordinates on graphs.
Simultaneous Equations - McDonald's Style

Simultaneous Equations - McDonald's Style

(33)
Calculate how much each person must pay based on their orders at McDonald's. The inspiration came from mrslack_maths and his resource linked here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/McDonalds-Simultaneous-Equations-6406906/ which is very nice so go and have a look at that as well!
Defuse The Bomb - Substitution
alutwychealutwyche

Defuse The Bomb - Substitution

(6)
The usual ‘answer the questions and defuse the bomb’ story, this time involving substitution. Two worksheets, the second one being more difficult than the first.
Twitter Usage Calculations
alutwychealutwyche

Twitter Usage Calculations

(2)
I saw a picture on Twitter showing what happens in a minute on the social networking site (lots of my students use it too). I therefore came up with this activity. I'm sure you could make more questions based upon the statistics given.
Party Planner - Substitution
alutwychealutwyche

Party Planner - Substitution

(3)
Help test the formulae the party planner uses to calculate the amounts of each item they need. Very straight forward and intended for a low ability set.
Codebreaker - Substitution
alutwychealutwyche

Codebreaker - Substitution

(5)
Find the values of the expressions to get the letters to an anagram of a film. Fairly straight forward but sheet 2 is more difficult than sheet 1.
Spot The Mistakes - Expressions and Equations
alutwychealutwyche

Spot The Mistakes - Expressions and Equations

(8)
This is a revision aid where students must read the 'notes' carefully and find the deliberate errors (and possibly undeliberate ones!). I have split (with some overlap) it up into three parts going from 'what is an expression/identity/equation?', through simplifying, expanding brackets, factorising into a bracket, solving equations, multiplying out 2 brackets, factorising quadratics and solving quadratics (factorising, completing the square and the formula). The aim is to get them active in their revision!
Codebreaker - Factorising Quadratics
alutwychealutwyche

Codebreaker - Factorising Quadratics

(5)
Factorise then solve the anagrams for a film - pretty straightforward and sheet 2 is harder than sheet 1 with coefficients of x squared being greater than 1. Correct file now there!
Codebreaker - Solving Quadratics (Factorising)
alutwychealutwyche

Codebreaker - Solving Quadratics (Factorising)

(16)
Solve the quadratics and reveal the anagram of a film - each quadratic gives 2 answers unless there is an odd number of letters in a word when the answer counts just once. The second sheet contains coefficients of x squared that are greater than one and a difference of 2 squares question.
