My Biopic - Average and Range

My Biopic - Average and Range

(2)
Using average and range convince me that Steven Spielberg should direct my biopic. This combines a bit of literacy too, but should get them using averages to explain their reasoning.
Inequalities and Number Lines Codebreaker

Inequalities and Number Lines Codebreaker

(0)
The usual thing: answer the questions, reveal the punchline. This gives inequalities and asks students to find the representation on the number lines. The letters are jumbled up to stop them guessing the answer.
Surds Matching

Surds Matching

I needed some surds practice so designed this. It moves through simplifying surds, surd calculations to rationalising the denominator. Discussion should be forthcoming as to the answer to the "spare". Now printable!
Erica's Errors On Parametric Equations

Erica's Errors On Parametric Equations

Erica’s having a complete stinker with this particularly long homework. She desperately needs help from your students to correct the homework and explain what she needs to do. This is designed for students to demonstrate understanding.
Sealings' Ice Cream Logo Dilemma - Arcs and Sectors

Sealings' Ice Cream Logo Dilemma - Arcs and Sectors

(3)
One of my Year 10s suggested doing something to do with ice cream cones, so here it is. A functional/real life question involving sectors of circles in a logo design and whether the design is affordable. Involves perimeter and area of sectors.
What Was The Question? 6

What Was The Question? 6

(3)
Four screens each with four questions that have the same answer but the question is missing information; can your class work out what information is missing? This is designed to create discussion (some questions have multiple answers possible) and I intend to use these as starters. Topics include ratio, probability, solving equations, indices, angles and many more.
QR Code Puzzle 19 - FDP of a Number

QR Code Puzzle 19 - FDP of a Number

(2)
Answer the questions - if the answer is an even number colour in the question number in the grid; if the answer is odd or not a whole number then leave it blank. When they have finished they scan the QR code and if correct it will take them to the Depeche Mode video for 'Walking In My Shoes', for no other reason than I had already created the QR code.
What Was The Question? 3

What Was The Question? 3

(3)
This is designed to get students thinking rather than just blindly following a mathematical recipe. There a four sets of 4 problems which all have the same answer (given in the centre of the screen). Each question has a blank for the students to fill in and sometimes there is more than one answer for the blank. This particular one covers probability,fractions, ratio, angles in polygons, solving equations, sequences, area and other topics. I will be using these as starters to get students thinking. One error corrected in the answers! (I need to read the question.)

NCIS: National Calculus Investigative Service

(3)
I've decided to do some maths stuff based upon US crime drama shows and this is the first based on differentiation, covering differentiation (including negative indices), gradients at certain points, turning points (maximum and minimum) and finally increasing/decreasing functions at certain points. The worksheets aren't massively necessary as it's been designed to work from the powerpoint but they are there to give you the option.

QR Code Puzzle 14 - Substitution

Find the answers, colour in the correct squares then scan to get Madonna’s ‘Substitute For Love’ (the best I could do). QR code generated using qrstuff.com.
Loom Band Ratio

Loom Band Ratio

(1)
My daughter loves these things and you can't move in my house for them them so I thought I&'d do a ratio activity involving them. It involves simplifying, sharing and finding value for money.

Andy's SSDD Questions 4 - Hobbies

(3)
This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use ratio, Pythagoras, time, fractions, probability, percentages and measures as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.
Building Blocks - Indices

Building Blocks - Indices

(3)
This takes you through basic indices then on to fractional and negative indices covering all the skills required allowing students to understand how they all link up to reach the most challenging question types.
Bounds Spiders

Bounds Spiders

Four "spiders" to practise bounds. Starting simple, moving on to rounding to the nearest centimetre then significant figures. This does nothing special but will hopefully make students think and encourage discussion about bounds.
