Mathematics
Finding the nth term of a linear sequence
Used as a homework but could easily be used in a lesson.
Two Step Function Machines; KS3 maths
Grids that use different two step function machines as a lead up to working with expressions.
Used with Y7 and Y8.
Time Treasure Hunt
A treasure hunt activity that covers analogue, digital, reading timetables and cinema listings.
Used with bottom set Y8.
Properties of a Circle
Worksheet were pupils can label the;
Circumference, Radius, Diameter, Chord, Tangent, Sector, Segment, Arc.
There is also areas for the written definitions of these words and extension questions.
Treasure Hunt: Addition and Subtraction
This is an addition and subtraction treasure hunt that is aimed at Y7 and below.
There are two different hunts that cover the higher and lower abilities that a class may contain.
Reflection in Mirror Lines
Simple worksheet that has built in differentiation to help introduce reflection in mirror lines.
Extension: Reflect in the diagonal mirror line is that the same as reflecting in the horizontal then vertical?
Angle Measuring Joke
By measuring the angles and using the key pupils can get the answer to the following Joke/Riddle
'What is the difference between a guitar and a fish?'
Used with beginning Y7 just starting out with angles.
Reading Ability Investigation: Mean
In this document there are extracts from 5 popular books: The Hobbit, Mr Poppers Penguins, The Chrysalids, Curious George and Goosebumps.
The task is to use the given reading ability formula to put a reading age on the books. First they can take a guess at ranking the books and taking a guess at the age. There is also a extension with a second reading test for comparison.
There is an optional table of results template which can either be given or displayed.
Fighting Tigers! loci activity
Used with foundation Y11 and also suitable for KS3.
Two tigers have a boundary that they don't like to share and the pupils have to use loci to show how the tigers will share the land.
Probability Experiments
This resource contains two different experiment handouts.
1. Flipping a coin
2. Spinning a hexagon spinner. (higher ability)
Used with Y8.
Probability: Months of the year
This is an activity used to introduced probability with equally likely outcomes.
The pupils list the months that match the given constraints. There is a set of card to have physical months to play with if they struggle to do it in their head.
Used with Y7 and bottom set Y8
Hundred City; cuboid nets
An activity in which pupils have templates for 6 nets that will have a volume of 100cm3. The more advanced pupils can create their own dimensions.
They construct the cuboids and design them like any building they wish to construct Hundred City
Used with bottom set Y8.
Alton Towers Combinations; statistics
This is a Notebook lesson using the rides at Alton Towers to introduce listing combinations.
Factorising Quadratics Challenge
This is an extension sheet I made for consolidation with factorising: linear, quadratic, difference of two squares and finally simplifying fractions.
ANSWERS included.
Differentiated Averages Starter with Problem Solving
This is a starter activity on all averages and range. It includes 4 levels of challenge and includes two sections of problem solving and has all answers.
Algebra Vocabulary
Too many students do not know the difference between an expression, equation and formula to name but a few so here is a worksheet were pupils fill in the missing gaps for the words associated with Algebra .
Term, expression, equation, identity, formula, coefficient, variable.
Used with Y7-Y11.
Disney: How much does your name cost?
This is a starter activity I use with my lower sets and would be perfect with KS1/2 also.
The idea is to have it as a mental addition activity but can be used in as many ways as you can think of :)
F1 Race Algebra
This is an investigation into the race position of formula 1 drivers. I have used this on interview lessons with great success.
The lesson revolves around substitution into a set of instructions. Then investigating why it doesn't matter where you start from you always get the same finishing line up.
Ultimately the top end students will be able to show algebraic proofs to prove it all works, while the lower students will get practice with substitution.
This pack includes:
Full powerpoint with starter-questioning-examples of the worksheet-plenary and ANSWERS.
A good plenary I use is to get a student to show their proof while the others make sure no mistakes are being made.
Treasure Hunt Numeracy
This is a 15 questions self answering numeracy treasure hunt.
You can start at any question so I tend to get the students to work in pairs then having stuck the questions around the room they start at the nearest question to them physically.
This is aimed at higher KS3/KS4 (I have used it with Y7 as well but it is about knowing your group)
Includes all elements of numeracy and problem solving.
Gradient and Intercept Investigation
A worksheet that practices using a table to plot straight lines then uses the similarities and differences to compare with the equation of the line and eventually lead to gradient and intercept with y=mx+c.
