Plot this journey around the holiday island using three figure bearings.

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!

The usual stuff, solve the problems to discover the punchline to the joke. I use for a starter or plenary or occasionally a homework.

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.

Clive is having more problems with his homework, but this time it's converting metric measures. Have a look at Clive's homework solutions, correct them and explain what he's done so that he doesn't make the same mistakes again. This activity really encourages discussion between students and teacher.

I've recently discovered this in my folders on my computer. It is a 10 question non-calculator quiz using real situations.

Alice and Ben have made Christmas lists. Can you calculate the probability of each getting the following combinations of presents?

I got a request to do an activity using the A Team, both old and new. This is it! Convert each unit so that either 'old' or 'new' A Team understands. The numbers are pretty simple and it is designed to be a starter or plenary.

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.

This is higher GCSE or A Level co-ordinate geometry which involves rearranging equations to the form ax+by+c=0, finding an equation given a point etc. The joke made my class groan massively, but I was in stitches mainly due to their reaction!

KS3 / GCSE questions quiz. This is for use as a team game - choose an Avenger and then choose one of their 3 questions and answer within 1 minute to win 5 points. The quiz is all hyperlinked so just click on the appropriate bit to get to the appropriate slide.

Three enlargements for the students to solve for the animators of the sequel to classic eighties Disney hit 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids' It involves co-ordinate grids, fractional and negative enlargements that they have to describe.

Help Spidey by measuring the three figure bearings that each villain is on.

Select the correct answer from the list given that satisfies the inequalities. It will produce an anagram...

Answer the questions: if the answer is even, colour in the appropriate square, if it's odd, leave the square blank. The QR code then takes you to Depeche Mode&'s 1989 classic 'Personal Jesus', which has nothing to do with negative numbers (the only song called 'Negative' I could find is Mansun&';s effort, but the video is a bit odd).

Erica has a homework involving the sine and cosine rules as well as trigonometric functions. She thinks she's made mistakes; your students' task is to help Erica spot and correct the mistakes, explaining what she has mixed up. Designed to cover the new A level course and encourage discussion.

Answer the currency conversion question reveal a joke; good for starters or plenaries as well as main tasks but also useful due to the fact that they are self-marking so students know that they understand what to do quite quickly.

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!).

Decide who won the prize in the quiz by using equivalent fractions. Just a quick starter or plenary using fractions in a bit of context.

Clive is getting confused on his homework again; this time it's sets and Venn diagrams. Your class' job is to check, correct and explain why Clive has gone wrong. This is designed to create discussion in class.
