Calculate the distance the beams of light must travel in my warehouyse and the angle they make with the ground. This was just an activity to finish off this topic. There is an extension too.

WITH CORRECTIONS! The notorious terrorist ‘The Mathematician’ has left a clue to defusing the bomb he’s just planted. Answer the questions and cu the coloured wire in the correct order. This goes from purely Pythagoras, through Pythagoras and Trigonometry up to Trigonometry in non-right angled triangles.

This was my attempt to get a worksheet that incorporates all the basic loci: perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, from a point and shading a region. You could add stuff if you like, but I ran out of room for the instructions, hence just the 4 tasks. The answers are rough based on the ones I did with pencil and compass.

The students have to answer the questions to know which order they ought to cut the wires to defuse the bomb left by the Mathematical terrorist who has left some clues for you.

This is using the famous racing game to revise angle properties with parallel lines.

I was trying to make fairly simple angles problems a little more interesting through the medium of Star Wars for a lower ability class and this is what I came up with. Angles on a line, angles around a point and parallel lines. For those who are Star Wars experts, I've been liberal with a few facts but for a reason.

A simple sheet where they have to link the shape to the properties - made for a purpose but other may find it useful.

I found the cartoon on the first slide on Twitter (I'm sorry, I forget where) and I thought that my students could probably brush up on their Pythagorean triples like Batman. This was the result. The Powerpoint is animated and the Notebook file has screen shades, depending on the software at your disposal and your preference. There is a table of answers on the final slide of both files too.

Pretty dull worksheet but done for a purpose - it shows two methods of long division.

Whilst perusing Twitter after England's heavy defeat to Australia I came across this graphic posted by @skycricket which gave me the idea of using it for a maths discussion on data. You don&'t really need to know anything about cricket, just a basic understanding of statistics. It is designed to encourage some literacy and explanation.

Not the most exciting but worksheets to help with two different ways of performaing long multiplication calculations: Grid Method and 'Chinese' Method (feel free to rename them if you know them by any other name).

My daughter won this in a Christmas cracker (she was over the moon!) but it is full of sequences and I thought it would make a nice little activity for a class or two of mine.

I found a simple bar chart online breaking down where the money from a CD sale goes and came up with this. It's mainly percentages, but there are exchange rates and calculations to be done too. I&'m sure you can all come up with other questions about it, but this is what I dreamt up!

Help William 'Billy' Black anaylise the data he has to see if he will make enough before his abduction by aliens. This includes reading pictograms, bar charts, pie charts, frequency polygons, finding three averages and estimating the mean. I'm sure you can all come up with other calculations/interpretations that they can make too! Hopefully I have corrected the typo too.

A student gave me the name and I came up with the rest. Simple ratio and proportion. I have done a worksheet but will probably use it as a powerpoint and get them to do the answers. The ratios don't get massively difficult, so more for lower ability I would say.

Describe the transformations William 'Billy' Black has use to place the cakes on the tables at the various events. There are 8 of them to describe, getting increasingly difficult. Answers are on the powerpoint only as I couldn't fit them on the worksheet.

William Billy Black needs your help to work out how many cakes to put on each table at the various events he’s catering for. It’s an exercise in forming and solving equations. They get progressively more difficult and my initial thoughts is that I wouldn’t do it all at once but in three parts.

This help William 'Billy' Black calculate how much grease-proof paper he needs plus how much each cake tine can hold. The shapes go from cuboids to a cylinder to a hemisphere to a frustum, so you can start and finish where you like.

Help desperate Food Tech teacher Billy Black with his cake recipes before he's abducted by aliens. Clearly a play on the TV show, but an exercise in simple proportion using amounts of ingredients for recipes - the calculations get progressively more difficult.

Match the questions with the correct answers regarding simplifying indices.
