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/

Storage Hunters - Percentage Change (Profit/Loss)

Storage Hunters - Percentage Change (Profit/Loss)

(45)
If you've not seen Storage Hunters on Dave (or the equivalent channel in your country) then you are missing out, but this activity uses the concept of someone buying something and selling it on, hopefully for a profit on their part. The students must read carefully then calculate the percentage profit or loss.

Indices Codebreakers

(44)
Four different codebreakers (and jokes) ranging from simplifying numeric indices, moving to algebraic and then onto evaluating negative and fractional indices. Many more terrible jokes in these codebreaker bundles 🔑 GCSE Algebra Codebreaker Worksheet Bundle Number + Probability Codebreakers GCSE Maths Geometry Codebreaker Worksheets GCSE Maths
Probability Puzzle

Probability Puzzle

Find the letters with the given probabilities to find the punchline to the joke! I'm particularly pleased with this joke as I made it up!!!
Defuse The Bomb - Fractions, Decimal, Percentages

Defuse The Bomb - Fractions, Decimal, Percentages

(42)
The Mathematician, that notorious terrorist, has put a series of bombs around the country, but each has a clue to defuse it. These cover many aspects of fractions, decimals and percentages and are numbered so that they get increasingly difficult. As I say, my classes like these as starters/plenaries, hence there are so many.
Writing Formulae

Writing Formulae

A quite basic sheet asking students to write formulae from given situations. For those who aren't overly keen on algebra!
Spot The Mistakes - Fractions

Spot The Mistakes - Fractions

(33)
This is a twist on revision notes. I have written some notes and given examples but there are mistakes that the students have to correct. They must therefore read the notes very carefully and a partner must check their work. The idea is derived from an idea born from a discussion on Twitter (if you're not on Twitter, seriously think about it). I have split the notes up into three but I have included the whole thing so that you can chop them up your own way, or change stuff if you want. It&'s a bit of an experiment and we&';ll see how it goes!
Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

(30)
A sheet where students can pick the section on which they need more work (self-differentiated no less). Ranges from plain old fractions, through functional plain old fractions, through mixed numbers through functional mixed numbers. No bells, whistles, anything like that, just a load of questions. I have added a 'Prove It' sheet so that the class can show you what they can now do.

This is a twist on revision notes. I have written some notes and given examples but there are mistakes that the students have to correct. They must therefore read the notes very carefully and a partner must check their work. The idea is derived from an idea born from a discussion on Twitter (if you're not on Twitter, seriously think about it). I have split the notes up into two bits but I have included the whole thing so that you can chop them up your own way, or change stuff if you want. It's a bit of an experiment and we&'ll see how it goes!
Sequences Codebreakers

Sequences Codebreakers

(28)
Three different codes to crack: number 1 is just finding the next term in the sequence (not all are arithmetic), number 2 is substituting into nth terms (with a simple quadratic or two) and number 3 is finding and using nth terms of arithmetic sequences. Each has a punchline to a joke to find. I use these for starters and plenaries or homeworks as they are very easy to mark. Typo on number 1 corrected.
Average and Range Spiders

Average and Range Spiders

(23)
This should bring about plenty of discussion. Four "spiders" of increasing difficulty asking students to complete a list of numbers to make the average and range properties true. A couple of typos corrected.
