An activity for pupils to find the fraction of the cost of each item put in the sale. You may wish to change some of the images to keep up with the times.

the ice cream cone problem worked well blown up on A3/2 paper for groups to figure out the formula on their own.

pupils are asked to transform Napolian across the map to where 'X&' marks the spot. The constraints are written in the instructions to stop them just simply translating him straight to the finishing point. A good way of AFL is for them to write the instructions on the left, doing their transformations with tracing paper over the map, so a partner can actually use the instructions and draw on the sheet to check if it will actually take Napolian to the &';X'.

A set of cards which need sorting into the three piles - equations, formulae and expressions, giving them the chance to discuss the differences between each type and therefore coming up with their own definitions too.
