An activity designed to help students with misconceptions. Students need to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in the three questions.
Print out individually or for pairs and put up on the board to discuss.
Three activities designed to develop students' understanding of stem and leaf diagrams.
1 focuses on drawing accurately.
2 gets students to interpret diagrams.
3 is a Spot the Mistakes where students need to identify, discuss and correct the mistakes.
4 is an activity that can be used before an assessment to recap.
A collection of resources across the attainment spectrum for volume of a prism. Not all questions created, but cropped from other sources and then formatted.
A collection of activities using a box method to help students understand sharing into ratios.
1 and 2 look at simply sharing into ratios, with increasing difficulty.
3 looks at carrying out inverse operations when sharing into ratios using boxes.
4 and 5 take these skills put them into context. I have gratefully used some CIMT questions here.
All are differentiated into three different tiers of difficulty.
An activity I enjoy doing with all classes. Students need to identify and rectify what is incorrect about the two answers to these two GCSE questions.
Print off copies for individuals or pairs and put on the board for a discussion.

I wanted to bring my maths classroom closer to the real world, and specifically the problems and changes that we face. I wanted a resource that would raise awareness of important issues in society, invite discussion in a maths classroom, and spur action.
So these resources place key percentages skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with percentage change, percentage increase, and percentages of amounts. **
It provides an opportunity to practice problem solving in new contexts, and highlights the power that maths has to quantify issues and help address them. The numbers and statistics are all very close to the real numbers, often rounded to make it easier to work with in a classroom.
Feel free to add your own and adjust and help take maths into the world and its challenges!
Here is a range of short activities that would typically serve as an interesting lesson starter to get students thinking about maths in different ways!
They are a mixture of puzzles and challenges with features of mathematic that students can explore.
They serve as excellent games or short investigations for students at home, and can be easily adapted further.
I am sorry the overall layout is not so nice. Enjoy!!
A worksheet cobbled together for substituting into formula. Questions taken from CIMT and formatted to cater for needs of the class.
Please note that this only focuses on substituting, not rearranging, even when the questions get harder.
A resource designed to help students practise two way tables. Differentiated to increase in difficulty. Some questions, gratefully, taken from other sources.
