This was an idea I had in on the way to work one morning - Clive makes mistakes on his homework and you need to correct them, explaining the mistake he's made in each case. I intend to use this as a plenary or starter to check learning etc. They should create discussion too. There are 5 different mistakes to correct.

This was an attempt to make inequalities more interesting and relevent by using them whilst helping the Inequaliser (Bobby McShout) solve a robbery.

GCSE Worksheet. Iron Man's suit is malfunctioning and will only travel in certain directions and for a certain time. He needs to get between certain places - help him out!

A short activity with a really lame joke (when aren't they?) naming the place value in which the 5 is positioned in each number. Designed for a quick homework, plenary or starter and involves tenths etc as well as the large place values (up to 10 million).

Look at the first draft of Santa's survey and improve it, saying what was wrong with his original questions.

A particularly lame joke this time but various proportion questions at a GCSE level, including direct, inverse and generating proportion formulae given enough information in order to do so.

Enlarge the shapes and produce a rather simplistic picture. There is a sketchpad file to go with it in case you have Geometers' Sketchpad.

This was born out of an exam question that asked students to work the quadratic formula backwards (ie. from simplified quadratic formula to original equation). I have hopefully scaffolded this appropriately. The second page, a matching activity, asks students to link a quadratic function to it’s roots/solutions. I’m rather hoping that the link will become obvious to the students, but who knows?! Either way it should lead to some discussion about quadratics. Typo corrected!

Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.

I produced this as a class of mine were struggling massively with both topics, and the topics are linked. Designed so that you can just use the multiplying and dividing bit or the metric conversions bit separately.

Describe the transformation of each shape fully.

Clive has made some silly mistakes on his standard form homework. Your students' task is to check, correct and explain where he's gone wrong. These are typical errors I've experienced in teaching and are designed to create discussion.

I have included two versions of this worksheet, one with smileys and one using some awful pictures of myself that will make the kids laugh! This aimed at lower ability students and offers a way of using a number line to add and subtract numbers.

Describe the transformations William 'Billy' Black has use to place the cakes on the tables at the various events. There are 8 of them to describe, getting increasingly difficult. Answers are on the powerpoint only as I couldn't fit them on the worksheet.

Six spiders on surface area and volume (3 of each) and a final "problems" spider. They are of increasing difficulty, moving from cubes and cuboids to prisms to cones, spheres and pyramids. These are designed to avoid students getting into a rut of performing a mathematical recipe by asking a mixture of finding surface area/volume to working backwards. These usually encourage discussion in class.

Finish off the details of Superman's journey to the various crime scenes. This involves scale and bearings.

Answer the questions, colour in the answers that are even, leave blank the answers that are odd, use your Smartphone to scan the resultant QR code to get a link to Feist and the cast of Sesame Street singing '1,2,3,4'. My lot(s) love it!

A series of real-life graphs that are misleading in some way. Nice for a discussion activity.

Cut out the table and match up the expression with its simplification and subsequent factorisation.

Please excuse the pun in the title but I can't believe it&'s not been done before (maybe it has and I&';ve missed it). Various locus related situations for Thor to navigate in order to defeat Loki's recruits.
