Calculate the answers to each problem, use the table to change the answers to letters and then unjumble the letters to make a country. This is aimed at foundation GCSE or KS3 and involves simple powers (squares and cubes) as well as Bidmas.

Calculate how many heads the Hydra will have after a certain amount of cuts by Hercules. The Powerpoint now contains the video.

Find the missing angles using angle facts - designed to use as a starter/plenary. It shouldn't take long and could lead to discussions about angle properties.

Match the diagram with the basic fraction and the simplified fraction. Designed for low ability to use at the start of the topic.

Read the graphs and use the information to draw a scatter graph to compare the sets of data.

This is for KS3 or low ability KS4 - I have put 2 versions on: one including my face and one with smileys. You can obviously swap the pictures for your own. I thought it might make simplifying expressions a bit more fun!

Students have to calculate the probability that each of three fruit machines will pay out and how many different combinations there are.

Laura Craft, our hero, has slides to go down this time ot complete the game that are in the shape of cubic graphs. we have the equations but not the graphs (you need to draw them) and work out which is the steepest - could you tell from the equations?

A KS3 resource activity with worksheets to be completed by students. This was an idea I had that actually came to fruition - it's based around a secret agent type mission. It involves deciphering codes, grid references, bearings, simplifying algebra, ordering fractions and sequences. I did a silly video to introduce it using some of my daughter's puppets. Hope you enjoy it, my classes certainly did.

Real-life problems involving direct and inverse proportion showing students that they don't have to be a mthematical whizz in order to understand the topic.

Calculate the missing measurements to help the Police Commissioner in Gotham City and Batman catch the criminals. Includes missing sides and angles.

Read off where each person, animal or object are on the grid.

Robot Wars Challenge: a pair of worksheets which I was trying to bring vectors into a real-life context. Hopefully I've succeeded. A great activity for GCSE students.

Work out how long the journey is or how many carrots are required for a certain series of trips for Santa.

This KS4 quadratic graphs worksheet is Lara Croft themed. Work out the equation of the graph that needs to be programmed in to make Laura swing and then plot the other two graphs from the equations given. This is an attempt to bring quadratics into the world occupied by students.

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

The Blue Darts Parallel and Perpendicular Problem is a GCSE worksheet on equations and gradients. The Blue Darts formation flying team want to plan a big finale to their display by creating an aerial rectangle. Can you help them find the equations of the lines that they need to fly along? What do you spot about the equations and their gradients?

Cartoon Linear Graphs: Get from one character to their sidekick and tell name the line upon which they've just travelled in the graph. An attempt to make linear graphs a bit more interesting.

A set of worksheets where students work out the equations of the lines travelled by the fireworks.

Get Santa etc to the dining table and the presents under the tree by describing which line they have to travel upon.
