Scaffolded. On a journey toward stronger work with pie charts and elsewhere.

A poem to enable discussion of gender politics in an ancient but familiar, and mathematical, context. Incidentally, what is the maximum possible number of Queens on the board?

Revision of English Mathematics Key Stage 3 and/or Key Stage 4 basics. Giant floor puzzle. Print to A3 paper and then cut out the triangles. Laminate if you wish to reuse. Testing suggests optimum size for groups is 8-10 pupils. Alternately, give a couple of pieces to each pupil at the start; then as pieces placed and pupils sit in circle to watch the “core team” fit the pairs together, run substitutions in/out of the choir team from the chairs. Alternately, insist each pupil holds a single puzzle piece and finds every match for his/her piece and then stands up holding their piece in the air. This requires an overhead fish-eye/sports camera looking down on your hall/room - and a bigger than A3 print.

A mini task. Defining and redefining 'the counted thing': one. Leads to creation of Venn diagram. Requires or tests recognition of circle, square and rectangle. Once they've understood the ideas, pupils can be encouraged to apply them when they are next in the garden of an English pub

Maths Revision for Red Nose Day. *All* monies I recieve from TES website (60% of what you pay) for this resource will be given to Comic Relief. I will keep nothing! What TES choose to do with their 40% is up to them! :-) You can: (i) run it as a plenary on screen. (ii) print the full set of 9 nose's questions on a single sheet of A4 and then photocopy onto a larger (A3) quiz sheet. Answers included for each option in format consistent with the option (one-to-one & block of nine).

A gentle starter for those beginning to grasp proportionality. It enables extension by encouraging pupils to design their own questions (with answers). Proportionality is visualised using a familiar item (beans) that they may see at home. Recognising that such a familiar item may be used in this way may lead to experimentation beyond the classroom.

This is a light hearted starter for a lesson on proportion and chance or simply for a little thinking about proportion and chance before approaching another topic.

The United +Kingdom+ is a constitutional monarchy, so resources around the Diamond Jubilee are useful. \n\nTime: aligning 60 years' worth of facts in 60 minutes or 60 seconds! \n\nSimply colour in 25 years (silver Jubilee), 50 years (Golden Jubilee) and 60 years (Diamond Jubilee). \n\nFractions: colour & discuss the first quarter of HM QE II's reign, the second quarter, or... maybe thirds, or twelfths, or... you get the idea.

Transformations - enlargementArguably the ultimate 'shrink ray' opportunity and certainly a great opportunity to revise linear enlargement skills in a starter with Gru and Vector.Sounds are courtesy of http://movie-sounds.org.and images are courtesy of Google and First News.As ever, if there is doubt as to whether the images/sounds are subject to copyright, the no-profit, educational purposes and no-charge-advertising/no-charge-product-placement arguments apply: it's not about how much teachers should pay so much as it is about how much they should charge.

How much will your pupils pay *you* to switch over to a Red Nose Day-themed revision sheet/lesson? Charge them what you can and pay it through to Comic Relief! :-)

Quadratic\nLinear\nEquation\nInequality

Builds on Ryan Brewer's set. Adds a few more complex solids, a clear 'top trump'(!) and an extra category: 'Platonic?'. Aimed at opening GM15 from new KS3 syllabus (or at revising / AfL during it!): 'use the properties of faces, surfaces, edges and vertices of cubes, cuboids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres to solve problems in 3-D'. Assume Top Trumps logo OK to upload since Ryan Brewer has (and since others have used various images from cartoons etc). Presumably it acts as (in)direct advertising for their brand [for which, arguably, maths teachers/TES should be remunerated]!

Key Stage 3. Ratio & Proportional Reasoning 4. For the beginnings of ratio and where it is found and used.

The ghosts have been frozen. Describe how the Major Sector Man will make his escape!

It's a card sort: to match cubic graphs and cubic equations; possibly by utilising factor theorem to analyse the cubic equations into their factors.

A mind opening starter.
