A set of questions that require the use of fractions, decimals and percentages within the same question when finding a reduced quantity of an amount. Each question has a context and is very wordy. Pupils will need to read carefully and think about how to structure their solution.

Used to consolidate the topic, there are 6 questions with 4 parts that need matching up: the original equation, the factorised equation, the solution, and the graph showing the minimum point of the curve

Putting expanding a single bracket into different contexts revolving around rectangles, area and perimeter. There is a potentially open ended investigation at the end to challenge further.

A matching cards activity that I used to consolidate the topic (does not go into coefficient of x squared greater than 1, but does have a DOTS question and one that needs rearranging). There are 6 questions, each with 4 parts that need matching up: the original equation, the factorised equation, the solution and what the graph would look like.

Find as many missing angles as possible on the Christmas tree. Uses angles on straight lines, around points and in triangles. Some quadrilaterals/other polygons. No inclusion of parallel lines.

Designed as a homework task for a low ability Year 7 class to read coordinates in one quadrant (including a couple of points at halves) and then rearrange letters to spell the name of a Christmas character. I have left it as a Word document so it is easily edited.

Finding the nth term features more prominently in new Edexcel Higher GCSE SAMs. There are some rote questions to get to grips with the method which progress in difficulty, and three applied questions.
