A powerpoint-activity to learn and revise about vectors.
There's been a robbery! Can you help Inspector Vector solve the crime by collecting clues? This is a fun activity for groups that includes:
- adding and subtracting 2D and 3D vectors
- finding the magnitude of 2D and 3D vectors
- adding and subtracting vectors like a and b
- some practice with surds for magnitude of vectors
- visualizing vectors in 3D
- using some logic to solve the crime
Solutions to each clue included in the Power Point notes.
Takes a very good class about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Six classic maths problems from the 1150 AD book called Lilivati, each presented as a poem and with a short story to introduce the book.
All of the problems involve forming and solving equations, and they also practice:
- simultaneous equations
- adding and multiplying fractions
- square roots
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
Three sets of questions revising:
- Trig Graphs
- Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and Area of Triangle
(everything except trig identities)
Plus an extra couple of questions as a Homework
Edit: added some Powerpoint slides for revision
Provided with full worked solutions
Bridge is a card game that is great for teamwork and developing logical thinking. There are proven benefits to cognitive skills for children and adults. For more about the benefits see the attached 'What is Bridge' PDF.
This is a set of resources for a school bridge club, or anyone wanting to learn more.
It starts with Whist and Minibridge and goes all the way through to basic bidding:
A one page sheet with eight common shapes on. Pupils should cut these out and physically fold them, to see which ones have lines of symmetry.
I came up with this in response to pupils who consistently thought that a parallelogram had two lines of symmetry, and a non-square rectangle had four lines of symmetry.
A whole class activity:
- a picture is cut into pieces
- each pupil makes a scale drawing of their part
- the class put them all together
Good for practicing scale drawings and having some fun.
A fun crossword to be done alone or in pairs. Tests easy decimals (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
Solution provided.
Based on original by eam_larkin.
A series of worksheets exploring the link between door codes, Euler Graphs and also De Brujn Graphs. This will introduce pupils to the concepts of
- vertices
- edges
- degree of vertices
- directed graphs
A fun activity to be done alone or in pairs. The first puzzle is easier (no subtracting negatives) and the second one includes subtracting negatives.
Based on original from eam_larkin.

This is a series of PowerPoints and questions introducing and testing knowledge of Distance, Speed and Time. Starting with simple Time questions, pupils will learn how to recognise different types of DST question, and how to solve them.
- Some introductory questions that check pupils can convert between 12hr and 24hr time, and convert between hours and minutes
- Checking pupils can recognise whether they are being asked a Distance, Speed or Time question.
- Estimating speeds of different forms of transport
- A class project for each group to work out the time it takes to get somewhere, by different forms of transport
- A couple of PowerPoints on timetables
DST Starters
- Some standard test-level DST questions
- A spreadsheet and graph of the distance from school and time it takes to get there from one example class.
A set of resources for whole class bingo. All the questions are pretty easy. Covering these topics:
- decimals
- fractions
- money
- whole numbers
- coins (more money)
