Pupils will practise solving simultaneous equations.
This free resource reinvents the classic worksheet activity, although the joke is outdated. Watch out for an updated version soon!
Pupils complete either the yellow (solving simple simultaneous equations with straight forward elimination) or the green route (multiplication or substitution). Reduce onto one A4 sheet.
Once pupils have completed their worksheet they can then move around the room collecting the correct word with the answers thus collecting the joke. Pupils are motivated by the prospect of collecting the joke first. The worse the joke the better!

Two levels amber and green, I would recommend printing and laminating. Stick these up around the class room, pupils answer the question and move around the room finding their answer and then completed the question underneath. This continues until pupils have made it back to the start.

Our purchasable Math Art has at least two, usually three differentiated worksheets per topic.
Math Art combines the fun of colouring and the consolidation of mathematical skills. Ideal as a plenary activity to determine what learning has taken place, alternatively use to determine pupils prior knowledge to a topic and of course great for revision.

Fortune Teller activities, or Cootie Catchers in the US, are a great childhood game remodeled to test mathematical skills. Check out our blog post (link in document) for further information.
In this cootie catcher there is one cootie catcher sample. This has eight questions requiring students to find averages (mean, median, mode and range) from a set of data presented in a list. The corners of the cootie catcher indicated the differentiation which is to three levels (easy, medium and difficult) and the fourth corner is a “pot luck” section.
This is a sample resource comes complete with instructions, ideas for stretch/challenge and two blank versions of the fortune teller (cootie catcher) for challenging pupils to create their own.
