Welcome, I have been teaching maths since 2010. I enjoy producing engaging activities to use in the classroom. I don't make anything I wouldn't use myself!

These questions are inspired by Craig Barton’s SSDD questions who got the idea from an article on the benefits of interleaved mathematics by D. Rohrer et al.
SSDD stands for ‘same surface different deep’ and the idea is that as teachers we become overconfident in students ability to use a technique to solve a problem as in most lessons students already know what technique to apply as they have already been told that’s what they will be doing in the lesson. Usually students apply one technique to solve a variety of problems in any one lesson. SSDD questions turn this on its head by having what looks like one problem but students are then asked questions that will require a variety of strategies to solve them.
The aim is that students become more adept at identifying the strategy required to solve the problem without being told this first.
The slides here can be used as they are but could also be adapted and extended for your own use. They are suitable as starters but a collection of questions could be used as the main part of a lesson.

Sine, cosine and tangent graph drawn on one sheet. Helpful for students to understand the shape of trig graphs, their key intersections and turning points and by drawing horizontal lines to see why there can be multiple solutions to e.g sin x = 1/2.
Percentage Increase & Decrease Bingo! game
A bingo game on finding percentage increases & decreases.
Comes complete with printable unique bingo cards for up to 36 students. Alternatively there is a no print option where students draw their own 3 by 3 grid and choose nine numbers from the board.
If the answer to a slide is their number they cross it off. The first student to cross off all nine numbers calls out bingo! Usually there is a small prize for the winner.
An activity for students to match up linear and non-linear equations with their graphs.
Graph types cover:
Linear
Quadratic
Cubic
Quartic
Circle
Exponential
Reciprocal
Trig
Includes solution sheet.
Multiples, Factors and Prime Numbers Bingo! game
A bingo game on finding multiples, factors and prime numbers.
Comes complete with printable unique bingo cards for up to 36 students. Alternatively there is a no print option where students draw their own 3 by 3 grid and choose nine numbers from the board.

Why use bingo in your lessons?
Math can and should be enjoyable. A bingo game turns math into an exciting experience that the kids will love.
Bingo will engage your students, fully involving them in an activity for 20 to 30 minutes.
Bingo is a great way to consolidate and answer questions on a recently taught topic or to get students to refresh their understanding of an earlier topic without them complaining that they’ve seen it before!
Fractions Maze
Two differentiated puzzles: the first is shorter with multiplication of proper fractions only. The second is longer, has multiplication and division and also includes mixed numbers.
Good for when you want them to do more fractions but don’t want to use another worksheet or text book!
Solutions are included.
