Real-life problems involving direct and inverse proportion showing students that they don't have to be a mthematical whizz in order to understand the topic.

This is a worksheet with tables using actual data released by the PFA and came from an investigation by the BBC's Football Focus. It's all quite straight forward stuff, but might open student eyes somewhat! Students use he data to calculate percentage changes.

Insert the numbers in the correct positions, making the calculations correct to win a dinner for the hungry camp members.

Laura Craft, our hero, has slides to go down this time ot complete the game that are in the shape of cubic graphs. we have the equations but not the graphs (you need to draw them) and work out which is the steepest - could you tell from the equations?

Work out the equation of the graph that needs to be programmed in to make Laura swing and then plot the other two graphs from the equations given. This is an attempt to bring quadratics into the world occupied by students.

The Blue Darts formation flying team want to plan a big finale to their display by creating an aerial rectangle. Can you help them find the equations of the lines that they need to fly along? What do you spot about the equations and their gradients?It wou

Save Our Satellite - Simultaneous Equations: Trying to find a real life example of where we might solve simultaneous equations graphically I came up with this. Students have to plot to linear graphs and find the point of impact. You could bring in Pythagoras and find out if the two bodies were travelling at the same speed would they actually collide, but I wanted to keep the worksheet to one side of A4.

With this pair of handouts I was trying to bring vectors into a real-life context. Hopefully I've succeeded.Students would be engaged in groups as well as individually. Real world application could focus on STEM application. Students could also wit

This activity uses clues involving number facts and special numbers to find certain items in a supermarket. Some of the clues are easier than others, but it's a nice challenge and makes students aware of Fibonacci, square, cube and triangle numbers.

A KS3 resource activity with worksheets to be completed by students. This was an idea I had that actually came to fruition - it's based around a secret agent type mission. It involves deciphering codes, grid references, bearings, simplifying algebra, ordering fractions and sequences. I did a silly video to introduce it using some of my daughter's puppets. Hope you enjoy it, my classes certainly did.
