Ironman Translations

(4)
Calculate the translation vector that Ironman has to travel to capture his enemies, even after the Ani-Men have knocked his grid out of sync. Notebook file can avoid photocopying, plus the extension involves Pythagoras.

Symmetry and Logos

I've been meaning to do this for ages and finally got around to doing it. Describe the symmetry on each logo - should open up some discussion.

alutwychealutwyche

The Unbelievable Bulk - Enlargement

(10)
Calculate how angry The Bulk is by figuring out what scale factor he's enlarged by and using Bulk's 'Angry Scale'. See how that relates to his 'safety' box and its surface area and volume.

Solving Problems - Explain Yourself!

Solving Problems - Explain Yourself!

(1)
I wrote this for students who aren't that keen on algebra, so have interspersed some relatively easy numerical problems with similar algebraic problems, getting them to write down their thought process to solve them. The ultimate aim is to show the students that the equations are just like the numerical problems.
Building A Swimming Pool
alutwychealutwyche

Building A Swimming Pool

(1)
Use the information to cost the building of a swimming pool. I have tried to use genuine values for costs of hire and labour, so the the results should be fairly accurate.
Ludwig von Terrible's Bomb Threat
alutwychealutwyche

Ludwig von Terrible's Bomb Threat

(4)
Your mission is to diffuse a bomb, but as the video explains Ludwig has left clues to the code required. Answer the questions, find the average of your answers in each section to decipher the code. In all honesty you don't need to show the 30 second video, but my classes like confirmation of my stupidity every now and then, so the video exists as a result. It is designed for lower ability students.

Valentine's Chocolates

(0)
Cut the cost of producing your box of Valentine's Chocolates by reducing the amount of packaging you have. Surface area and could be taken to varying levels of difficulty.
