Given 5 recurrence relations, which of them produce straight line graphs? Which don't?

An exam style question combining tree diagram probability with ratio.

A couple of questions that try to make clearer the link between pie charts and proportions.

Simple worksheet with pairs of decimals and pupils required to write or = between each pair. Some common misconceptions about 9.205 > 9.21 etc

Using calculator display screens with digits removed, pupils are asked to use inequalities to show the maximum errors in truncating the numbers

A series of 3 worksheets using the BBC news coverage of the European migrant/refugee crisis in the mediterranean and graphs/statistics from their website.

A tick grid for the properties of the diagonals of quadrilaterals, with a richer follow on activity where pupils have to try and write sentences which fit a given selection of quadrilaterals.

A jigsaw for matching horizontal and vertical lines with their equations; can help with reflections if pupils are struggling with lines, or as a pre-cursor to straight line graph equations.

An exam style question around a square based pyramid. Finding upper and lower bounds on the volume and then looking at the number of ways of recombining the lengths to create a square based pyramid. Answers are on page 2.

A worksheet with geometrical views of fractions. Can pupils say whether the given fraction is more than, less than or equal to one half? Can the justify why, preferably without finding the actual fraction shaded? (Then, for fun, they can actually find the fraction shaded!)

A collective memory resource designed to help pupils remember the required formulae for the GCSE Mathematics 9-1 exam (or at least some of them). The first slide is designed for Foundation pupils, the second for Higher (as it includes Sine and Cosine Rule).

The PowerPoint (TM) presentation, complete with the resource pack used, for the lecture given to Secondary Mathematics PGCE students at the University of Reading.

Complete the sentences with the correct terms from a circle.

Calculating mode, median, mean and range of test scores in English and Maths, deciding which average is best to use for comparing the distributions and writing comparisons.

Using factorised quadratics to trace paths for metal cutting.

Different contexts to form and solve equations.

Given 3 lengths and 3 perpendiculars, which length is incorrect? If working with non-right-angled trigonometry can also bring in cosine rule and area to check by calculating areas from given lengths. Possibly also some Pythagoras links with the perpendiculars? Is there more than one possible answer?

A series of cards with related decimal calculations, some correct and some incorrect. Pupils have to sort out the correct ones from the incorrect ones. You can give the pupils a correct starter calculation to base off or not as required to support pupils.

Starting with largest (1) and the smallest (0.23) on the same card, these cards form a loop when put in order.

A set of cards with "real=life" scenarios, linked to equations, which then have solution cards. Pupils have to link the situation to the equation - for differentiation you can give pupils the cards with the solutions on or not.
