Help Santa do a stock check by changing all the units to the ones he wants. I wrote this because I had a bottom set who had just been doing units and thought it was relatively festive as well as hitting my objective!

Plot the path that Swlda has to run to get to the exit, whilst avoiding all the obstacles.

Six questions on circle theorems with ten possible solutions. This allows students to check their own work to an extent; if their answer does not appear in the “possible answers” section then they need to check. Designed to be used as a starter or plenary.

Find the inequalities that have created the region and discover a terrible joke; popular with students and easy to mark remotely!

Another poor joke with the punchline found via domains of functions.

This is designed to help students through the thought process of where a graph will be given its equation. I have given options as to shape and asked where the graph will intersect with the axes. It involves linear, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal and exponential graphs as well as a couple of challenge ones at the end.

This is a second attempt to upload these as there was a problem with the first (no idea what and not of my doing!) and I have tried converting to PDF to negate any issues. Anyway, there are two sets of arithmetic to match with their nth terms, plus two nth terms that don't match for students to generate themselves.

Can you help Phineas and Ferb find the missing measurements in these calculations for their giant catapult? You also need to tell Dr Doofenshmirz whether his ray gun will still be accurate when he fires it at Agent P. Designed to be a starter or plenary.

I needed something on two-way tables that wasn’t just creating and filling them in so produced this. There are ten statements which students must decide whether they are true or false; there are also blanks in the table for them to fill in. These have been working well in online lessons hence I’m am writing these at the moment!

Five “Defuse The Bomb” sheets on area and perimeter including: rectangles/triangles, parallelograms/trapeziums, circles, compound shapes (no circles), compound shapes (including circles). These are designed to give students a bit of confidence as the correct answers appear on the sheet whilst you, as the teacher, can help those who are struggling initially. These have worked well in the classroom and online but could also work as homework tasks.

A joke to discover (told to me by a Year 10) having found the resultant vectors sought. These have worked nicely both in class and online.

Two “Crack The Safe” activities to test students on their trigonometry knowledge, and with a selection of possible answers they can self-check their solutions. These have been designed to be used as starters and plenaries and should create a bit of discussion in class as well.

Another “Crack The Safe” worksheet containing six questions, each with three possible answers, on algebraic fractions. These allow the teacher to leave those who understand the topic to try some and check that their answer appears in the options, whilst helping those who are less secure. I use these mainly as starters and plenaries.

Find the midpoints, discover the cheesy joke. I realised that I had too few resources on midpoints for a lesson on them, hence this. These are good for starters, plenaries, main tasks or homeworks as they spell something out so students know quickly whether they are going in the right direction.

This was born out of a conversation in our department; it revises products of prime factors and then uses them to simplify surds. There is a challenge side of this two-sided sheet where the surds are only partially simplified. Typo in answers corrected.

Find where the coordinates would be after the given transformations and reveal the joke (with a mathematical theme!).

I use these as a break from the "past paper drudgery" in the run up to exams. The questions are taken from past papers (amended in some cases). The idea is to answer each question fully then scan the QR code linked to the correct answer to form a code. Each QR code (correct or incorrect to avoid "cheating") scans to a song or artist that contains a number or colour, so this generates the code.

Colour in the numbers in certain multiplication tables and you are left with the primes.

Rearrange the formulae to reveal the joke (a rather good one in my opinion). Ideal for online tasks or homeworks as well as in the normal classroom environment.

Impossible, the game show, involves asking questions and giving three possible answers: one correct, one that’s incorrect but could be correct in a different context, an impossible answer. There are twelve questions on various different topics and this is designed to encourage reasoning and discussion. Getting the answer correct is obviously important but the discussion as to why the impossible answer is correct and the other one not correct for the context might be more interesting. Topics include fraction calculations, place value, rounding, coordinates, angles and others and could be useful for Year 7.
