Air Traffic Control with Disney's Planes - y=mx+c

Three of the characters are flying around Europe and need your help with the equations of the lines for their route. There are three (all on the same sheet) that get increasingly difficult. Depending on the confidence in this topic topic, start them where you see fit.

I need help converting pounds to euros, miles to kilometres and temperatures. My phone has run out of battery so I have to use a conversion graph to make a best estimate. There are a few silly pictures of me and my head on celebrity bodies to add a bit of fun.

Metric Units With One Direction

(3)
The 1D boys are describing what it's like to be a pop star but using all the wrong units of measurement; the measurements are correct, but the units need converting. This is an attempt to make metric conversions a bit of fun. I have produced two powerpoints depending on the ability of your class: 1. highlighted to make the units stand out; 2. not highlighted.

A themed episode of Bargain Hunt and some ratio problems to solve as a result. Some worded questions for students to pick the bones out of.

Fruit Salad World Record - Simplifying Expressions

(0)
This is designed to be a starting point for simplifying expressions containing different letters and how different letters must remain separate. I've use the apples and bananas thing purely because I couldn&'t think of anything better.
Star Wars Angles

Star Wars Angles

(1)
I was trying to make fairly simple angles problems a little more interesting through the medium of Star Wars for a lower ability class and this is what I came up with. Angles on a line, angles around a point and parallel lines. For those who are Star Wars experts, I've been liberal with a few facts but for a reason.
Pythagorean Triples With Batman

Pythagorean Triples With Batman

(1)
I found the cartoon on the first slide on Twitter (I'm sorry, I forget where) and I thought that my students could probably brush up on their Pythagorean triples like Batman. This was the result. The Powerpoint is animated and the Notebook file has screen shades, depending on the software at your disposal and your preference. There is a table of answers on the final slide of both files too.
Equations Cinema

Equations Cinema

(1)
This is a discussion activity for use with lower ability classes and solving equations. Funnily enough, this sort of thing does normally happen to me, although not at a cinema showing equations films!
Park Design - Locus

Park Design - Locus

(6)
This was my attempt to get a worksheet that incorporates all the basic loci: perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, from a point and shading a region. You could add stuff if you like, but I ran out of room for the instructions, hence just the 4 tasks. The answers are rough based on the ones I did with pencil and compass.

Long multiplication worksheets

Not the most exciting but worksheets to help with two different ways of performaing long multiplication calculations: Grid Method and 'Chinese' Method (feel free to rename them if you know them by any other name).

Ashes Statistics 2013-14 - Interpreting Data

(0)
Whilst perusing Twitter after England's heavy defeat to Australia I came across this graphic posted by @skycricket which gave me the idea of using it for a maths discussion on data. You don&'t really need to know anything about cricket, just a basic understanding of statistics. It is designed to encourage some literacy and explanation.

The Trivial Pursuit of Maths

Using the Trivial Pursuit board, here are some maths questions based upon angles, polygons and probability. Designed as a starter or plenary activity. Inspiration came from the excellent blog http://matheminutes.blogspot.co.uk/ which is well worth a look!

Prison Bake - Ratio and Proportion

(3)
A student gave me the name and I came up with the rest. Simple ratio and proportion. I have done a worksheet but will probably use it as a powerpoint and get them to do the answers. The ratios don't get massively difficult, so more for lower ability I would say.

Baking Bad - Season 5 - Data Handling

Help William 'Billy' Black anaylise the data he has to see if he will make enough before his abduction by aliens. This includes reading pictograms, bar charts, pie charts, frequency polygons, finding three averages and estimating the mean. I'm sure you can all come up with other calculations/interpretations that they can make too! Hopefully I have corrected the typo too.

Baking Bad - Season 4 - Transformations

(12)
Describe the transformations William 'Billy' Black has use to place the cakes on the tables at the various events. There are 8 of them to describe, getting increasingly difficult. Answers are on the powerpoint only as I couldn't fit them on the worksheet.

Sporting Graphs

This was done using a free piece of software (search online for 'Physics Tracker') to track objects and plot a distance/time graph. I designed it to be a discussion activity, explaining what's happening at each stage of the graph.

Baking Bad - Season 3 - Solving Equations

William Billy Black needs your help to work out how many cakes to put on each table at the various events he’s catering for. It’s an exercise in forming and solving equations. They get progressively more difficult and my initial thoughts is that I wouldn’t do it all at once but in three parts.
