Each set of problems contains 3 maths problems which I have pulled together from a number of books and websites. Problem 1 is easy, problem 2 is medium and problem 3 is hard. We printed them big on A3 coloured green, orange and red to make a display with pupils submitting their solutions. puzzles, problem solving,

An activity for pupils to play in pairs based on blooms. Just as in normal noughts and crosses pupils need to make a line of 3, but instead of nought and crosses they must write their answer in a noughts and crosses grid. As an extension for those who finish I get them to work as a pair to complete the rest of the grid.

A full lesson with learning plan and IWB (smart notebook) on area and perimeter of traingles. Contains differentiated questions and printable progress and plenary cards and a nice sorting activity depending on whether they are given its area or perimeter.

GCSE worksheet. Solve the equations to crack the code.

A collection of 10 problems complete with solutions which I used with some high ability Y9 pupils. Good lesson starter. It gave them all something to think about and work on in small groups.

A KS3 sheet full of quick fire questions. Pupils work in pairs to answer the questions give 1 to 2 minutes depending on the group. They must answer one question then pass to partner to answer one question and so on. Great way to motivate pupils with revision.

KS3 Algebra activity. Class game where pupils have to answer questions in teams to win a game of blockbusters. (Template is easy to edit to make your own)

KS3 activtiy where pupils are required to collect like term to match up expressions then an extension where pupils are required to expand a single bracket and match it up a expression.

Simple activity for KS2/3 where pupils have to match the pie chart to the description of an animal.

A smartboard file with area and perimeter questions. Nice plenary at the end with pupils having to sort sorts into two boxes on area and perimeter.

Think of a number (algebraic proof)This is a collection of resources I made for a lesson to introduce the idea of algebraic proof to a year 7 class. I gave prep sheet for homework, then we completed proof as class. Using 'blob and dot algebra' then real algebra. Pupils then made their own puzzles and a poster. They really enjoyed it!
