Use the diagrams to help add and subtract fraction. For fairly low ability to help them visualise what's happening.

Match the diagram with the basic fraction and the simplified fraction. Designed for low ability to use at the start of the topic.

Does what it says on the tin frankly.

Calculate how many heads the Hydra will have after a certain amount of cuts by Hercules. The Powerpoint now contains the video.

Solve the equations, swap the answers for letters, unjumble and find the sport.

Calculate the answers to each problem, use the table to change the answers to letters and then unjumble the letters to make a country. This is aimed at foundation GCSE or KS3 and involves simple powers (squares and cubes) as well as Bidmas.

Match up the picture with the ratio with the proportion.

Find the missing angles using angle facts - designed to use as a starter/plenary. It shouldn't take long and could lead to discussions about angle properties.

Sort into three groups - 14 statements. Does what it says on the tin really. It should encourage some discussion in class at the very least.

Answer the questions and find my destination each time.

Find area of circles and volume of spheres featured in this clip from Toy Story 2. The powerpoint version now contains the video.

This involves the old water issue, requiring 4 litres when you only have containers of 3 litres and 5 litres, plus an interactive game from subtangent.com. I have done a powerpoint version exported from SmartBoard too, on request, and now I have worked out how to embed the video! Enjoy!

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.

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.

Using the Trivial Pursuit board, here are some maths questions based upon angles, polygons and probability. Designed as a starter or plenary activity. Inspiration came from the excellent blog http://matheminutes.blogspot.co.uk/ which is well worth a look!

Cut out the table and match up the expression with its simplification and subsequent factorisation.

Inspired by mrbarton - includes odd, even, squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots, primes, multiples and factors.

Cut out and play activities with blanks so that the students can make up their own questions.

Inspired by mrbarton's collective memory tasks that my classes have enjoyed I wrote these for some lower ability classes I teach. There are calculations for them to do too. If you don't know how they work, get students in groups of 3/4, show the file on the board for 30 seconds and they try to copy what they remember from it (no writing whilst file is being shown). Show the file a total of 4 or 5 times. Great for discussions etc.
