Given a vector picture, can you identify the vectors that either match, or are multiples of, the given vector a? A nice alternative vector introduction, or way of introducing the ideas of scalar multiple (including negative of a vector)

Small worksheet for little extra consolidation of completing symmetrical pictures. Pictures drawn on square, triangular and isometric backgrounds to give pupils experience of working with different types of symmetrical shapes. Both line and rotational symmetry considered. Pictures are possible answers to each question (answers are not necessarily unique). *** mistake spotted and corrected***

Given 5 recurrence relations, which of them produce straight line graphs? Which don't?

The PowerPoint (TM) presentation, complete with the resource pack used, for the lecture given to Secondary Mathematics PGCE students at the University of Reading.

A jigsaw for matching horizontal and vertical lines with their equations; can help with reflections if pupils are struggling with lines, or as a pre-cursor to straight line graph equations.

A past exam question with a problem solving bent on comparing offers broken down into a series of "fill in the gap" sentences designed to aid problem solving.

An exam style question combining using ratio to find lengths with calculating the area of a compound shape.

A 'problem solving' type exam question on circle area broken down for lower attaining pupils or as an introduction to problem solving for KS3.

A worksheet that shows a bar model, unit area representation, and number line representations of fractions and asks pupils to create groups showing the same fractions. The groups are then given in the image.

A small worksheet using ratios of adults to children in childcare scenarios.

An exam style question around a square based pyramid. Finding upper and lower bounds on the volume and then looking at the number of ways of recombining the lengths to create a square based pyramid. Answers are on page 2.

A collective memory resource designed to help pupils remember the required formulae for the GCSE Mathematics 9-1 exam (or at least some of them). The first slide is designed for Foundation pupils, the second for Higher (as it includes Sine and Cosine Rule).

Calculating mode, median, mean and range of test scores in English and Maths, deciding which average is best to use for comparing the distributions and writing comparisons.

Using factorised quadratics to trace paths for metal cutting.

Given 3 lengths and 3 perpendiculars, which length is incorrect? If working with non-right-angled trigonometry can also bring in cosine rule and area to check by calculating areas from given lengths. Possibly also some Pythagoras links with the perpendiculars? Is there more than one possible answer?

Starting with largest (1) and the smallest (0.23) on the same card, these cards form a loop when put in order.

A card set of values with prime factorisations. A neat use of this is to sort people into partners for another activity; one set of people have the values and one set have the prime factorisations and the people with the corresponding cards have to partner each other.

A grid in which pupils have to draw shapes that match both the line and rotational symmetry properties. If pupils need more support you can provide them with pictures of shapes to draw; for extension get them to justify why certain spaces cannot be filled.

A practical differentiated resource linking order of operations to compound area. Pupils can work through or be directed to question 1 and 2, or straight to question 3.

Isosceles triangle with equal angles defined in terms of x, and distinct angle y, find the value of y.
