Volumes of cuboids and triangular prisms (self marking)

Volumes of cuboids and triangular prisms (self marking)

(9)
Calculate the volumes of each of the shapes and check the answer is correct. Putting the letters in the order of the questions reveals a piece of advice "A triangular prism is half of a cuboid!" Oh, and its written backwards so they don't get it too early.

Estimated mean of grouped discrete data (worksheet)

I hope I am doing this right, I have taken this idea from jordyst and added a couple more countries to give the class a bit more variety on the practice section (and some bigger numbers) I hope I am crediting this correctly, if not please contact me to get it sorted.

Simple percentages (powerpoint quiz)

Ask members of the group to come to board and tap the correct answer, it will not move on until the correct answer is tapped but will indicate if that given answer is incorrect. I have used it a few times so I hope all works properly. Please tell me if there is an error. I have found an error, there are two 90s, I will get this fixed.

Volumes of prisms (row game)

(1)
The aim of a row game is each pair of students get one half of the sheet each. Each half has similar questions. All the answers but a few match up and it is up to the pair to identify which are different. They may also like to edit the questions so they do match up.

Missing angles (codebreaker)

(1)
Use the diagrams to work out the code for each card. Work out which is the odd one out. They are all in London but 'Paddington' isn't on a Monopoly board Can be used as a class with pupils changing their card when they have finished or as a set of worksheets.
sine and cosine rule basic practice (code breaker)

sine and cosine rule basic practice (code breaker)

(1)
15 questions with answers at the bottom including some red herrings. The question "what do you need to be able to use the sine rule?" has the answer "matching letters" when you put the correct letter to each question and read backwards. This just relates to the need for a matching side and angle when using sine rule as many of my pupils seem to think that one rule is for working out angles and the other for sides.

Plotting quadratics graphs (matching activity)

(3)
Two sheets with both factorised and unfactorised quadratics. The first sheet matches up with the second demonstrating they are the same expression as the graphs are the same. Work in pairs, match the graphs and observe what you see about both your results.
Adding fractions (Codebreaker)

Adding fractions (Codebreaker)

For each of the cards: 1) Work out the answer to the fraction additions. 2) There will be several equivalent fractions and the corresponding letters will spell out a word. 3) What connects each of the words?
Estimating mean of grouped data (Codebreaker)

Estimating mean of grouped data (Codebreaker)

(1)
Calculate the mean of the set of tables and use that information to break the codes, then work out which is the odd one out. Please feel free to split it up so each pupil gets one question that reflects the amount of work they can do in a given time. (Rose is the odd one out as the others have bulbs)

coordinates four quadrant (codebreaker)

(1)
A simple activity to practice coordinates in four quadrants. Each coordinate gives a letter that in turn spells a word. What is the season connected with each of these words. Use as a starter activity, a worksheet to consolidate learning or a homework that marks itself.

Find the words in the grid Ones that might be difficult: quarter circle = QUADRANT second rectangle = OBLONG (made of two squares) arrow shape = ARROWHEAD
