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.

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.

Three activities for students to work on 2d representations of 3d solids, including: 1. Plans & Elevations Matching Activity Students must decide which plan, side and front view matches each of six different solids drawn on isometric paper. Answers are included and students record their answers in a table so you can check at a glance if they are on the right track. 2. Plans & Elevations Worksheet This could be used as an extension or a homework activity. Students have to draw the plans and elevations of a set of solids. The final question is in reverse - given the plans and elevations, can they work out the solid? 3. Isometric Drawing Practice This includes two activities help students learning about drawing in 3d. The first challenges them to draw all the different solids with 4 cubes. The second activity involves volume and surface area and challenges them to draw cuboids with specific criteria. ** Now Updated To Include** Two additional activities including plans & elevations of solids with sloping sides & scale drawings. Answers are included for all activities.

This GCSE unit of work on transformations would be useful for both higher and foundation tier students. It includes nine different worksheets: 1. Reflection 1 Reflection in horizontal, vertical and diagonal mirror lines 2. Reflection 2 This includes mirror lines on co-ordinate axes, described as y = a, x = b, y = x etc. Questions include making and describing reflections. 3. Rotation Includes center points on axes and a mixture of questions requiring students to complete a rotation or describe how a shape has been rotated. 4. Translation A mixture of translations to complete and describe. 5. Enlargement 1 Includes only positive scale factors, with questions for students to complete enlargements and describe them. 6. Enlargement 2 This includes fractional and negative scale factors. 7. Describing Transformations 1 This mixed practice worksheet gives students a chance to practice describing all four different transformations. 8. Mixed Transformations 1 & 2 These two worksheets combine all of the skills together from all the other worksheets for a final review of the entire topic.

This pack contains three worksheets related to the new GCSE objective on systematic listing and counting strategies. Worksheet 1: Systematic Listing Aimed at Foundation Tier students, but also good practice for higher, a set of problems based on systematically listing all the possible options in different situations. Worksheet 2: Product Rule (Multiple Groups) This sheet requires students to use the product rule in situations where they need to work out the total number of options from several different groups. Worksheet 3: Product Rule (Single Group) This activity is a further set of product rule questions, but slightly more challenging as it includes questions where students must select items from the same group. (For example, the number of ways of selecting two boys from a group of 8). Answers are included for all three worksheets.

Three activities to support students working on place value & decimals. 1. Reading & Writing Decimals Match Students must match together numbers and statements about their place value. For example, 0.62 matches with '2 hundredths'. The questions all involve the numbers 1, 2 and 6, so students really have to think about the place value of the numbers shown. They can also record their matching pairs in a table, which makes it easy for you to check if they are getting them right and provide feedback. 2. Place Value Puzzles This activity contains two pages of puzzles all about decimals and place value. Puzzles range from 'guess the number', based on clues about place value, to comparing and ordering decimals using inequality symbols. 3. Adding Decimals Code Breaker A code breaker activity where students have to add decimals to reveal a secret message. The decimals are of different lengths so students will need to use some written methods. Answers are included for all activities.

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.
