This not only lists all the topics on the IGCSE maths syllabus but also gives an example of what they all are so you don’t get the continual question “what does this topic mean?”. I put a RAG analysis against each too so that students can focus revision to where it’s required. A few topics added including expanding 3 brackets, transforming functions, an extra indices example, shading regions (I originally left this off by mistake) and adding/subtracting algebraic fractions. I have just added some more examples of transformations and constructions plus summing arithmetic sequences and recurring decimals. Also includes Sparx activity codes (you can delete if you don’t want those). There are now answers (which I have done quite quickly so hopefully not too many errors!).

Calculate the missing measurements to help the Police Commissioner in Gotham City and Batman catch the criminals. Includes missing sides and angles.

Robot Wars Challenge: a pair of worksheets which I was trying to bring vectors into a real-life context. Hopefully I've succeeded. A great activity for GCSE students.

Find the area of and perimeter of the heart design, plus find the percentage of the card that is taken up. Just a bit of Valentine's fun!

Calculate the exact distance that either Superman or Iron Man have to fly to get to each villain. No need to print as you can use the Notebook file.

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.

Match each pie chart to its description. Plenary or starter activity.

Geometry worksheet activity: Cut out the facts on triangles and quadrilaterals and put them in to groups: Always True; Sometimes True; Never True.

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.

A lame joke but plenty of "order of operations" practice.

Solve the clues to discover the murderer by deciphering the codes: there's Caesar Cipher, Pigpen Cipher, Solving Equations, Number Problems and Transformations. It designed so that you can put your own class' names in for the suspects, but "Number 5" is always the culprit.

Using loci which criminals are caught in each of the four situations. This involves the locus around a point, perpendicular bisector and angle bisector. Have tried to show rough answers too, if it helps.

The students are given the answer and asked to fill in the gaps in the question. Topics used involve probability, equations, simultaneous equations, fractions, percentages, ratio, speed, distance, time and many others. Some of the questions allow for multiple answers so discussion could be had. Designed to be used as starters/plenaries to get the grey matter moving. The Christmas theme runs through every question and is a tad tenuous at times but there you go.

Help out the famous Wetherfield residents with their data issues by drawing and using scatter graphs.

Discover the punchline to the joke whilst testing your knowledge of polygons, mainly angle properties including interior and exterior angles.

This is a poor joke whose punchline that is discovered by solving the probability problems listed. One has a tree diagram drawn and the others could use a tree diagram but ultimately they can be done without.

This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.

A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games' - original was 'The Number Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams.

A student asked me in a lesson today 'Who is ever going to use this in real life?'. So I did this as an example. Students choose on which 2 of 5 roads should speed cameras be installed and explain why they made their choice.

Factorise the expressions, find the answer, reveal the film title! Simples. I may add more versions as a differentiated thing at a later date.
