One simplifying and one sharing in a given ratio; fairly basic stuff that would be ideal for a homework or starter/plenary. Two lame joke fashioned from my drive to and from school.

I was asked to cover “An Introduction To Reciprocal Graphs” for an interview lesson; it went quite well so I thought I’d share it. The PowerPoint takes you through it and the worksheets are obviously for the students. Enjoy!

Two more codebreakers (and associated lame jokes) on volume and surface area. Codebreaker 1 is cubes, cuboids and cyclinders; codebreaker 2 in speheres, cones and pyramids.

This hopefully covers all bases involving fractions, decimals and percentages from simplifying up to converting recurring decimals to fractions and everything inbetween.

This powerpoint takes students from simplifying to sharing to proportion with a table of success criteria to show how far they've got.

These sheets contain sketches of circle theorems and blanks for the students to fill in in their own words. They can then use the notes in a future lesson to fill in the blanks on the 'Fill In The Blanks' sheet. The idea was to save them drawing poor sketches in their books and to write the rules in their own words.

Answer the questions, colour the answers in the grid and reveal the calculation that needs to be solved!

Solve the quadratic equations by completing the square to find the punchline to a (pretty average) joke. My Year 12s liked it as a quick reminder though! Some involve rearranging first and they aren't too difficult - I will use them with Year 11 too.

This is designed to reinforce the bearings of North, South, East and West as well as Morth East, South East, South West, North West, plus bring in a little scale. Describe Batman's journey to collect all the criminals.

Give Santa the correct three figure bearing for each stage of his journey.

Two codebreakers, each with a joke to work out; one is converting from standard form to normal numbers, the other converts back.

The Incredibles statistics worksheet have written a questionnaire to make their superhero operations more efficient in the current economic climate. Can you help them amend their questions?

The mandatory terrible joke whose punchline is revealed by answering some questions involving circle theorems. Useful as a starter or plenary in my experience.

Three sheets on each; sheet 1 is basic, sheet 2 a little more complex and sheet 3 involves two brackets. Designed to be a quick plenary, starter, homework activity. They numbers equate in case you want to put them side by side.

Clive has made mistakes on his homework again. There are equations involving brackets, fractions, letters on "both sides" and different mistakers in each. This is to test students' understanding of solving linear equations and is designed to test typical mistakes and encourage discussion about these.

Find the appropriate equivalent fraction and find the punchline to Tim Vine’s joke; designed as a bit more practice for some of my Year 7 and 8 classes, but could be useful for others. I have uploaded PDF versions so those who don’t have Equation Editor can see them; no need to thank me…

These spiders (there are seven of them in total) take you through simplifying, calculating, rationalising denominators, expanding brackets and rationalising "tough" surds.

Use the diagrams to help add and subtract fraction. For fairly low ability to help them visualise what's happening.

Solve the quadratic equations, colour in the grid and reveal a problem to solve!

Calculate how much each person must pay based on their orders at McDonald's. The inspiration came from mrslack_maths and his resource linked here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/McDonalds-Simultaneous-Equations-6406906/ which is very nice so go and have a look at that as well!
