Park Design - Locus

Park Design - Locus

(6)
This was my attempt to get a worksheet that incorporates all the basic loci: perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, from a point and shading a region. You could add stuff if you like, but I ran out of room for the instructions, hence just the 4 tasks. The answers are rough based on the ones I did with pencil and compass.
Perfect Face - Symmetry and Reflection

Perfect Face - Symmetry and Reflection

(3)
A fairly basic set of tasks plus a picture of who scientists say has a 'perfect face'. A couple of tougher reflections of snowflakes at the end, plus a dodgy picture of me (early in the morning)! Feel free to delete the final picture or replace with one of you.
Simultaneous Equations Codebreakers

Simultaneous Equations Codebreakers

(2)
Solve the simultaneous equations to reveal the punchline to a lame joke in both cases. The equations on codebreaker 1 are all designed to be solved by elimination; the equations on codebreaker 2 are to be done by substitution.
Types of Non-Linear Function

Types of Non-Linear Function

(7)
I needed something for students to plot quadratic, cubic and reciprocal functions on that wouldn't mean that half the lesson is taken up with drawing axes. I added exponential functions at the end as an extension. It literally does what it says on the tin stopping short of circles, and hopefully some might be able to draw conclusions from the positions of the functions.
Clumsy Clive On Simplifying Expressions

Clumsy Clive On Simplifying Expressions

(3)
Clive is having a go at simplifying expressions, without complete success. Your task (or more accurately, your class' task) is to help Clive correct his homework and explain where he's gone wrong. Good for starters or plenaries and encourages discussion.
Defuse The Bomb - Substitution

Defuse The Bomb - Substitution

(6)
The usual ‘answer the questions and defuse the bomb’ story, this time involving substitution. Two worksheets, the second one being more difficult than the first.
Superman Proportion

Superman Proportion

(5)
Calculate these proportional relationships involving Superman and his proximity to kryptonite as well as his rating in the criminal underworld. An attempt to liven up proportion with my Year 11s.

DIY Units

(3)
The owners of P&Q have ordered labels but they have been delivered in the wrong units - can you convert them into the units required?
Clumsy Clive On Substitution

Clumsy Clive On Substitution

(3)
Clive is tackling a bit of substitution but making mistakes again. Your students' task is to help Clive sort out his errors and explain to him what he's done so that he doesn't make the same mistakes in the future. Ideal for starter or plenaries and encourages discussion.
Angle Properties

Angle Properties

(2)
This worksheet is an attempt to get students comfortable with algebra, angles and proof. This starts with angles around a point and on a line and asks students to write down any relationships between angles. We then move on to polygons (including triangles) and look for relationships. The next stage is parallel lines and their angle properties, asking studetns to write angles in terms of another angle. Finally we have circle theorems and some simultaneous equations moving on to a couple of proofs. This should generate discussion and is designed to do so, especially the parts involving algebra plus the need to explain the angle property used in each case.
KS3 Maths: forming and solving equations worksheet

KS3 Maths: forming and solving equations worksheet

(3)
Forming and solving equations in a functional way. How Many MP4 Players In A Box? - Equations. Having really struggled with a class over solving equations I came up with this idea of finding out how many MP4 players are in a box. It's an attempt to make solving equations more accessible, including multiplying out brackets.
KS3 - Plumbing Accounts - Algebra Worksheet

KS3 - Plumbing Accounts - Algebra Worksheet

(3)
This worksheet activity is designed to be used as a simple introduction to rearranging formulae in algebra, but getting students to calculate using the formula initially before rearranging it to work backwards using inverse operations.
Vectors Codebreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Vectors Codebreaker

(4)
A really lame joke (more lame than usual if you can get your head around that) but some reasonably straight forward vectors practise. It could be used to as a starter or plenary and students could design their own routes.
Properties of Shapes Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Properties of Shapes Matching

(5)
All triangles and quarilaterals plus a regular polygon slide with 8 statements that students must decide whether they are always, sometimes or never true. This should create discussion. I have said that squares are a type of rectangle, and a rhombus is a type of parallelogram.
