Fractions, Decimals & Percentages - Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise how to change between fractions, decimals and percentages using a famous artist (Fernand Leger) colouring sheet.
Students identify the solution to each question in one of the three answer boxes. They then find the question number on the colouring sheet and colour the section in the colour that corresponds to their answer.
Included in your purchase is a question sheet, answer sheet and colouring sheet. I print this as an A5 booklet (also included) so that students can then glue this into their notebooks.
Students can also mark their answers by comparing their colouring sheet to the original artwork. An engaging way for students to learn about fractions, decimals, percentages and art!

Hypothesis Test for a Population Mean - Analogy to a Criminal Trial
This is a student workbook that can supplement lessons on hypothesis tests for a population mean.
I teach the stages of hypothesis testing using analogies to a criminal trial. My students like this comparison; they are more engaged and it helps them to see the relevance of the different stages. Once students are confident with the terminology, we create our own courtroom in the classroom and role-play the stages of hypothesis testing with students acting as the jury, prosecution, judge and defence.
Contents of the workbook
1. A summary of the 5 stages of hypothesis testing
2. A detailed analogy to a criminal trial
3. One worked example
4. Space for students to complete their own examples.
5. Worksheets on:
a. the null and alternative hypothesis
b. type I and type II errors
c. checking assumptions
d. sampling distributions
e. the normal distribution
f. the t-distribution
g. interpreting p-values
Answers for worksheets provided in separate document. The preview file shows a selection of pages from the workbook.
CSI Algebra - Writing and Using Formulae
Here’s a real life CSI application of algebra for your students…
Students have to solve a murder investigation using formulae (writing and substituting). They have to gather evidence at three locations: the crime scene, mortuary and forensic laboratory. Once they have collected their evidence, they examine a suspect list to identify the murderer.
Crime scene – The suspect has left muddy boot prints at the crime scene. Students have to measure the boot print and step length to determine the suspect’s height.
Mortuary – Students have to determine the time of death using body temperature.
Forensic Laboratory – The victim died from chronic arsenic poisoning. Students have to determine for how long the victim was poisoned for.
Answers included.

Here's a real life CSI application of algebra for your students....
There has been a suspicious death. Using their knowledge of formulae and quadratic equations, students have to gather evidence from the crime scene and mortuary to determine (1) who was with the victim moments before death and (2) whether the death was a tragic accident or cold-blooded murder.
At the Crime Scene - The victim died after falling from a balcony. Students have to collect information on the distance of the body from the building to determine whether it was an accidental fall or murder.
At the Mortuary - Students must match a bite mark left on the body with teeth impressions taken from three suspects to find out who was with the victim when he fell.
Answers included.

Maths Posters
Here is a selection of posters for your Maths classroom. Included in your purchase would be 11 posters (pdf files) on the following topics:
Factors
Multiples
Negative Numbers
Square Numbers
Cube Numbers
Fraction Wall
Lines
Triangles
Angles
Area and Perimeter
Circles
Note on Negative Numbers poster - This is one way to help students remember how to multiply and divide negative numbers. Pupils draw a face like in the poster (or simply a circle with the three signs in to represent the eyes and mouth). They cover up the two signs from the multiplication/division problem. The uncovered sign will be for the answer.
CSI Algebra - Using Formulae & Linear Regression
Here's a real life crime scene application of algebra and statistics for your students....
Human skeletal remains have been found on a construction site. Most of the bones have been crushed leaving only a pelvis, femur and tooth for students to examine. Students must identify who the remains belong to using their knowledge of formulae and linear regression. A task involving the normal distribution is optional (see further details below).
What comes with this resource:
- Teacher Guide
- Workstation task sheets (data & photo provided for the femur task)
- Workstation signs
- Answer sheet
- Missing person database
The activity involves 3 tasks:
★ The Tooth - Students will use a formula and measurements from the tooth to determine the age of the individual.
★ The Femur - Students will be given a sample dataset of human heights and femur lengths. They must produce a linear regression model relating femur length to height. Students will then have to measure the femur found at the site (photo provided) and use their regression model to predict height.
★ The Pelvis - Students will use a formula and measurements of the pelvis to determine sex. There is the option to replace this task with one that uses z-scores and the normal distribution. Two worksheets for the pelvis are therefore provided but only one worksheet is needed for the activity.
