Clive is making silly mistakes again and it is down to your class to spot, correct and explain where he's gone wrong. This is designed to create discussion between students and teacher. This could be used as a plenary or a revision task.

Clive is struggling with surds this time. He has made mistakes when simplifying, expanding brackets and rationalising the denominator. Your (your students') job is to correct and explain what he's done wrong. This worksheet is designed to create discussion in class between students themeselves and teacher.

Just the three "spiders" on bearings, of increasing difficulty. The final spider asks students if they can write the question based upon the information given which may lead to a nice discussion in class.

This is designed to get students thinking rather than just blindly following a mathematical recipe. There a four sets of 4 problems which all have the same answer (given in the centre of the screen). Each question has a blank for the students to fill in and sometimes there is more than one answer for the blank. This particular one covers probability, percentages, fractions, ratio, angles, equations, equations of lines and other topics. I will be using these as starters to get students thinking from the off and will produce more if they work!

This covers from simple finding pairs of integers up to completing the square, including completing the square and the quadratic formula. I will put solving graphically on a another one as there wasn’t room here.

Ice Cream issues again for Lark Ices and Stannister Dairy who have some dodgy software that keeps going wrong, hence the need for them to estimate and round. Goes from simple rounding, through estimating calculations to upper and lower bounds.

I've been itching to do a maths 'Games of Thrones' thing for a while and then this popped into my head. Fraction of a number, comparing fractions and adding and subtracting all in the name of an ice cream war!

Paying homage to the 24th outing for Britain's favourite special agent, here is Spectre Vectors. It includes resultant vectors, magnitudes of vectors and describing in terms of a and b. My GCSE class liked it anyway!

Starts easy and gets harder but essentially does what it says on the tin. A challenge for GCSE, a starter for A Level. There may be more hence the "1".

Match the diagram with the basic fraction and the simplified fraction. Designed for low ability to use at the start of the topic.

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 is a revision aid where students must read the 'notes' carefully and find the deliberate errors (and possibly undeliberate ones!). I have split (with some overlap) it up into three parts going from 'what is an expression/identity/equation?', through simplifying, expanding brackets, factorising into a bracket, solving equations, multiplying out 2 brackets, factorising quadratics and solving quadratics (factorising, completing the square and the formula). The aim is to get them active in their revision!

Just a quick starter/plenary on exact results from trigonometry. The usual lame joke is the answer.

GCSE Worksheet. Iron Man's suit is malfunctioning and will only travel in certain directions and for a certain time. He needs to get between certain places - help him out!

Erica is getting a bit lost on arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. Could you please help her sort out her homework? Her errors will need explaining so that they aren't made again. A task designed to encourage discussion.

I had and could find loads of surface area resources but they weren’t just on cubes and cuboids so I remedied that. The usual terrible joke discovered after doing some maths…

Either cut out and group or colour in the cards and tables that go together - just thought it would make a bit of a change to just grinding out questions.

Six spiders on surface area and volume (3 of each) and a final "problems" spider. They are of increasing difficulty, moving from cubes and cuboids to prisms to cones, spheres and pyramids. These are designed to avoid students getting into a rut of performing a mathematical recipe by asking a mixture of finding surface area/volume to working backwards. These usually encourage discussion in class.

Go through the circle theorems with your class then get them to use their newly found knowledge when calculating the missing angles on these logos for the embroidery machine.

Four spiders to complete: two involving two linear equations and two involving a linear and a quadratic. This is designed to create discussion and gives students options on how to solve, either by elimination or substitution. If you are feeling adventurous you could even draw the graphs...
