I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

Monty Python Maths

Monty Python Maths

Using some (clean!) clips from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail and Life of Brian (5 clips in total) there are some maths questions. Each clip (which has a hyperlink as the embed feature in Powerpoint is messing about) has 3 questions. It was a challenge given to me on Twitter! Should be fun though, and I will have to prevent myself from giggling in the corner. There are Smart Notebook version but the file size exceeds the limit apparently!
Expressions 2

Expressions 2

This is like Expressions 1 but tougher - involves simplifying with brackets etc. Again I have put two versions: one with my face and one with smileys. A bid to make simplifying expressions more memorable.

Mick owns a printing firm and is doing an audit. His employees like amounts in improper fractions, Mick likes his as mixed numbers. Help both Mick and his employees communicate the amounts of printing equipment they have in stock. Just a quick activity to practice converting...

I found a graphic on Twitter and thought it would make a nice discussion lesson/part lesson on time and number, possibly standard form. Anyway, I made this Powerpoint to get people started.

No real imagination here, just a quick worksheet to stop the students bisecting a horizontal or vertical and bisecting a right angle. Don't expect anything fancy people...

Ratio At Work

This powerpoint uses two scenarios: building site and office. You can choose the order in which you do them or whether to do one and not the other. These are worded ratio problems to discuss and use to establish understanding or encourage verbal explanations from students.

Proportion Explosions

This allows students to access different aspects of proportion. This covers direct and inverse proportion and could be used as a discussion exercise.

Which Phone Tariff? - Algebra KS3 /GCSE

(2)
KS3/ GCSE algebra relating to everyday examples. I wrote this a while ago in a desperate bid to make algebra relate to the real lives of children. You could set up a spreadsheet in Excel and use formulas, or they can do the activity in class.

Calculate each question using Bodmas/Bidmas, unjumble the letters and find the name of a famous international city!
GSCE Maths: Surds Worksheet

GSCE Maths: Surds Worksheet

(10)
This sheet starts off with some examples and questions about surds - pretty easy ones to be honest. There is a surds 'joke' at the end to complete. This was an attempt to make surds a little more interesting and to show just how easy they really are.
