A set of problems where students must compare a picture of a cuboid and its net in order to work out missing dimensions and surface areas. Feedback below is very appreciated :) Like this resource? We have activities on the surface area and volume of cones, spheres and pyramids here (£).

Writing and Solving One & Two Step Equations: A Matching Activity Students must match 'I'm thinking of a number' statements to their equivalent written in algebra and their solutions. Answers are included.

In each row, which of these pictures represent the same fraction? Requires students to compare different representations of fractions, including number lines, percentages and shaded pictures. Answers are included. Want more on equivalent fractions? We have a lesson and activity pack here.

This pack contains three different activities to give students plenty of practice at calculating with negative numbers. 1. Adding & Subtracting Negative Numbers Mystery Grids Students have to solve clues involving adding and subtracting negative numbers to work out the missing numbers in the grid. For example, the numbers in the top row add up to -10. Includes 3 levels of difficulty. 2. Multiplying and Dividing Negative Numbers Mystery Grids As above, 3 puzzles involving multiplying and dividing negatives. 3. All 4 Operations: Puzzles Students must work out where the missing numbers go in these puzzles to make the calculations true.

Three activities to revise multiplying , adding, subtracting and simplifying surds. 1. Surds Grid Puzzle Students have to work out where the missing numbers in the grid go. To do this they will need to think about simplifying surds and using all four operations. 2. Surds Missing Number Puzzles This activity contains three tasks to focus students on (a) multiplying surds, (b) adding surds, (c) using all four operations with surds. In each task students must work out the missing numbers to make the statements true. 3. Irrational Sequences! This activity is about predicting the next term of a set of sequences that all contain surds. Students will need to think about multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting surds.

A series of activities for students to practise rounding to a given number of significant figures and estimating calculations. 1. Significant Figures True or False Activity This activity contains a grid of statements about how numbers have been rounded, such as '54.5' has been rounded to 2 significant figures. Students must shade the eight statements that are true. The format of this activity makes it easy to check if students understand the concept and there is a second version of the puzzle that could be set at a later date as homework for revision. Answers are included. 2. Significant Figures Grid Puzzle & Multiple Choice Questions This contains two activities. The first is a grid puzzle where student must decide where to position a set of numbers in order to make a series of statements true. There is also a follow up worksheet with some straightforward practise and multiple choice questions about significant figures. Answers are included. 3. Estimation Worksheet This is a worksheet for estimating calculations by rounding to 1 or 2 significant figures. It also has a section to practise estimating square roots. A set of starter questions are included for discussion with students. Includes answers.

This pack is designed to help students develop an understanding of equivalent fractions and to give them multiple opportunities to practise. It contains: 1. Introducing Greedy Monkey A set of PPT slides and follow up worksheets that tell the story of a greedy monkey who wants to eat 5/6 of three different cakes. The first cake has been cut into six pieces, so it's easy. But what if the cake has already been cut into 12 pieces, or more? How many should monkey eat so that she ends up eating 5/6 of the cake? The idea is to develop the understanding that she would need to eat twice as many pieces of cake, because each piece is half as big, and then to generalise this to other denominators. 2. Follow on Activities: Matching Activity, Maze & Dominoes Three activities that could be used to give practise in a lesson, or for homework. Students must match equivalent fractions into groups of 3, find their way through a maze by shading equivalent fractions and pair up a set of dominoes. 3. Exit Slips Quick exit slips that could be given out at the end of lesson to check on understanding.

Three activities to get students completing and interpreting two way tables. Including: 1. Completing tables of data from given information Two puzzles where students have to use a set of clues to work out all the missing information in a table. 2. Interpreting tables of data Students have to first work out the missing entries in a two way table and then read the information to decide if a series of statements are true or false. Includes easy fractions and percentages. 3. Calculating probabilities from tables of data Again students must work out the missing entries in the table, then use that information to calculate the probability of various events. Answers are included for all activities.

Quadratics: What do you know about this quadratic? Students are given a quadratic equation and asked to work out: its factors where it crosses the axes what its graph would look like what it would be in completed square format where its minimum point is They are then given three other quadratics to work on, but are provided with different starting information - i.e., if they have the graph, can they work out the factors? Updated May 2018 Now with 2 additional bonus activities: Properties of Quadratic Graphs Worksheets Students have to identify the roots, turning point, y intercept and line of symmetry from a graph or function. Recognising Quadratic Graphs Activity Students have to match quadratic graphs to their functions by considering roots, y -intercepts and whether the co-efficient of x^2 is positive or negative. All activities include answers.

Enlargement: Worksheet & Activity Pack (Positive, Negative & Fractional Scale Factors) Including: 1. Three worksheets that give students chance to practise using positive, negative and fractional scale factors to enlarge a shape from a point given. 2. Two self-checking activities where students must enlarge by different scale factors to create a mystery picture! 3. Enlargement on a Co-ordinate Plane: A quick practise activity that would make a great homework. Easy to check and covers positive and fractional enlargements from (0,0). Answers are included.

A set of jumbled up fractions, decimals and percentages for students to match into groups of three. Mainly simple conversions, with some simplification of fractions required. Students record their answers in a table, so you can check at a glance if they are on the right track. Feedback below is very gratefully received :)

This percentages grid activity requires students to calculate 1%, 5%, 10% and 86% of different numbers. It also requires them to work backwards - if they know 10%, how could they work out the original number? Students can check off their answers from those at the bottom of the sheet to help them check they are on the right track as they work. Answers are included. Need more? We have a collection of percentages activities here.

Number Tricks: Writing Algebraic Expressions Activities 1. Matching Activity Students must first match cards into groups of three - a number trick written in words, e.g. "think of a number, double it, add 5...", the result of the number trick, e.g. "always ends in 12" and an algebraic expression for the number trick. 2. Write your own! The second sheet requires students to write and simplify the algebraic expressions for a new set of number tricks. Answers are included for both activities.

A variety of problems starting with counting squares and leading to finding the area of compound shapes. Also includes some missing dimension questions. Need more area activities? We have a set of activities on triangles and compound shapes here.
