I think I originally saw this idea on the TES website, but I can't remember where! Pupils investigate what amounts of money can be made with one of each coin up to a 50p piece. They can then investigate what extra coins they would need to make all the amounts up to 99p. There is also an extra extension where they can try to find a more effective coinage system for this!

Lesson on using the Quadratic formula with Pythagoras' Theorem to answer questions involving right-angled triangles with all sides unknown, but with information linking them. Will probably challenge even the most able of GCSE students!\n\nIf you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Based on a 10 Ticks sheet, the pupils make a magic square by substituting numbers into very simple expressions. Also explains Algebraically why it works! This could be extended into 4x4 squares for higher ability groups. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

This game is good for end of term lessons. You split the class into teams (3-4 works best). You roll 3 dice for each team and they have to use the numbers however they want (including as indices or factorials) to make numbers from 1-64. Points are awarded as explained in the powerpoint. It works best if you roll the dice for all teams to start with and roll after their go, that way they can think about what number to make while you go round the other teams. It might take a bit of practice to get then hang of this but pretty much every class I've played it with loves it!

This is a better version of something I uploaded onto here a while ago. Pupils have to use probability, the cost of playing a game and prize money to determine whether fairground games are worth playing or not. There should be plenty of work here and could be extended into creating their own games that they would make a profit on! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

All you need for an investigation into Pick's theorem, linking the dots on the perimeter of a shape and the dots inside it to it's area (when drawn on square dotty paper!) You will need to write on a few of the slides. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Pupils use angles and a bit of proportional reasoning to work out where some of the planets will be at a given time. They draw lines between them and if done accurately will end up with some lovely pursuit curves. Includes a plenary involving pi in case they have covered it as well! The starter is in the worksheet so you can give them a paper copy to do it on. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Lesson on using Pythagoras' Theorem to find the distance between coordinates. Includes quite a few extended and reversed questions and should be challenging for pupils. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
