This pack contains three activities to support students learning to calculate a percentage of an amount: 1. Percentages Mystery Grids Students have to use a set of clues to work out the mystery numbers in the grid. For example, 'The number in the top left is 20% of the number in the bottom right'. There are 3 levels of difficulty. 2. Percentages Grid Puzzles In these activities students must work out the missing numbers in a series of percentage statements. Sometimes they have to work out the missing percentage, as well as the result of the calculation. 3. Starter Cards / Exit Slips A set of cards that could be used as a lesson starter, or an exit slip to see how well students have understood. They can be printed double sided, so that students have their own answers on the back of their card. Alternatively the answers are provided for you to project onto the board. Each page contains 8 cards. 4. Who's Born When Puzzle Students must use the clues to work out how many children were born in each month of the year. This puzzle requires some logic and the ability to calculate simple fractions and percentages of an amount.

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.

This resource is a collection of ideas to help students work on multiplying and dividing fractions. Including: Multiplying Fractions 4 in a Line Game This activity is to give students a chance to review multiplying fractions by fractions in a fun game activity. They must play in pairs to multiply fractions until they get four blocks in a row. Multiplying Fractions & Discovering Reciprocals This matching activity encourages students to think about a more varied set of situations where we need to multiply fractions, including multiplying fractions by integers and the need for cancelling. It is then followed with an activity that leads students from multiplying fractions to thinking about how to find pairs of fractions that multiply to make 1 - i.e. to discovering reciprocals. Multiplying & Dividing Fractions Match This activity focuses on helping students to recognise equivalent calculations. They have to match calculations that result in the same answer, by noticing that multiplying by a fraction is the equivalent of dividing by its reciprocal. Dividing Fractions Missing Numbers Puzzle This activity requires students to work out the missing numbers to make a series of statements about dividing fractions true. It progresses to include some cases of division with mixed numbers. All activities include answers.

Three activities aimed at GCSE pupils working on the surface area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres. 1.

Volume and Surface Area of Prisms Worksheet This worksheet asks students to find the surface area and volume of a range of different prisms, including a cylinder cut in half. The worksheet is designed to make it easy to check for understanding, since students must record their answers in the table given. 3. Volume of Pyramids, Cones & Spheres: Which volume is largest? This activity requires students to compare solids and decide, in each row, which solid is largest? Includes prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres. Now Updated To Include Additional worksheets on spheres, cuboids, prisms, cones & cylinders.

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.
