Quick activity with six pairs to match up.

Partners take turns to coach each other in rounding numbers to required decimal places or significant figures.

10 questions. Quick, multiple choice, summative quiz. Can use coloured flash cards or whiteboards to get responses. Mainly simple linear, but also geometric and squares to finish.

Fairly basic set of 15 Qs to be used with flashcards, whiteboards etc. Covers integers with indices and algebraic expressions. Add/subtract rules. Useful as revision or building up to add/sub simple powers.

Quiz, loosely based on Deal or No Deal. #1 has brackets but easier numbers; #2 has (simple) algebraic fractions; #3 negative and decimal answers.\n\nThe player has an amount of money. The boxes contain algebraic expressions that say what that box is worth. So, if the player has £100, 2x+50 gives a box value of £250. \n\nIt could equally be played as a quiz between two teams or individual players trying to get the highest value box.\n\nOriginal idea inspired by CrazyTalk clips on YouTube linked by Keith Ennis.

Visual of seesaw showing how to keep simple equations balanced while solving. 2 quick examples, but it should be easy to create more by copying and amending slides.

Brackets are compared to party bags! So expanding is just finding out how many items altogether. Hopefully simple, visual explanation of concept followed by some quick questions. Used alongside mini-whiteboards.

Scaffolded worksheet on fractions of an amount using fairly simple quantities.

This links factorisation of linear expressions (where the term in the bracket is in the form y=m(x + c/m)) to the intercept with the x-axis. It lays the foundation for the same concept when factorising quadratics. It could be developed by examining y = c - mx or y=m(ax + c/m).

Promethean flipchart demonstrating percentage increase and decrease. Authored in ActivStudio 3.5 but should import into ActivInspire.

Simple intro to translations. Describe movement of car around track using translations. Draw own track and do the same. Promethean flipcharts (old and new versions) and worksheet.

Short, scaffolded worksheet for adding and subtracting fractions. For low ability group

6 pairs to match. 3 with full dimensions (one unit conversion needed). 3 with end area and missing length, but should be able to match by eliminating possibilities. Find missing dimension for last three (all integer values).Quick starter/plenary.

Quick set of 8 questions (x3) for multiplying mixed numbers. Answers provided.

Fill-in worksheet introducing correct way to name angles/lines and identifying alternate/corresponding angles. Goes on to get students to identify and then write correct geometric reasons. Answer sheet to match (although student sheet slightly reconfigured since to give correct names for angles). Meant as a reasonably easy introductory resource once key ideas have been explained from the board. Hopefully accessible to my Y7s (Yup!) Second worksheet (with answers) emphasises reasons for each angle

Worksheet generator: 6 sets of 3 randomly generated activities based on key mathematical skills selected by the teacher on single page for printing. Add, subtract, multiply, divide, place value operations, decimals, negatives, BIDMAS, rounding, percentages, fractions... Each pupil in the class is allocated 3 topics to complete in lesson/homework. Idea is to get all 3 questions right for your 3 topics. When pupil gets all 3 questions correct for any given topic, they get a sticker on a pupil record sheet. 3 stickers for that topic means they have mastered it and will not have to do it again :) Warning: Macro-enabled spreadsheet. Macros MUST be enabled when you load the sheet in order to use the navigation and copy/paste buttons. Read the Instructions document for further details. A Teacher Record (for use on your computer) and a Sticker Sheet (to put on your wall) are provided. [12/7/16 Minor improvements/additions]

Powerpoint demonstrating how to divide sums of money in ratio and accompanying scaffolded worksheet with (fairly) straight-forward examples to work out. (10/2/14) Second, slightly harder, worksheet added.

A set of questions where you use mode, range, median and mean to find one or two missing values from a list. Answers provided.
