Number Facts - G to C

(4)
Tutorial with questions taking you through primes, multiples, writing and reading numbers, directed numbers (negative numbers), prime factors, HCF and LCM.

I've Taken To Loci With Superman

(5)
Having seen a link to a clip from Taken 2 posted by @dwatson802 (thank you, by the way) I came up with this. I was going to do more from Taken 2 but couldn't find a good map of Istanbul! It&'s locus around a point and perpendicular bisector basically with some success criteria.

Indices Spiders

(4)
Fill in the blanks to simplify using the rules of indices. This should create some discussion in class regarding negative indices and how they could be written.
Ludwig von Terrible's Bomb Threat

Ludwig von Terrible's Bomb Threat

(4)
Your mission is to diffuse a bomb, but as the video explains Ludwig has left clues to the code required. Answer the questions, find the average of your answers in each section to decipher the code. In all honesty you don't need to show the 30 second video, but my classes like confirmation of my stupidity every now and then, so the video exists as a result. It is designed for lower ability students.
QR Code Defuse The Bomb - Core 1

QR Code Defuse The Bomb - Core 1

(7)
Five topics from C1 - a question on each. The students have 3 options to choose from, then scan the appropriate QR code (which takes them to a song or artist with a number in the title). Once they have all five correct answers they can "defuse the bomb" with the code. All QR codes scan to a song or artist with a number in them so they can't cheat. I have done some worked solutions too.
Defuse The Bomb - Probability

Defuse The Bomb - Probability

(5)
Various probability problems that help you defuse the infamous terrorist The Mathematician’s bomb. All self-explanatory and useful for a plenary or ‘Prove it’ activity.
Hulk Rearranging Formulae

Hulk Rearranging Formulae

(3)
Hulk gets angry when he can’t spend time alone with y. Help Hulk rearrange the formulae so that can be the subject of his attention. I&'d like to thank the person who was brave enough to give me one star but not brave enough to tell me why so that I can try to rectify it.
Spectre Vectors

Spectre Vectors

(6)
Paying homage to the 24th outing for Britain's favourite special agent, here is Spectre Vectors. It includes resultant vectors, magnitudes of vectors and describing in terms of a and b. My GCSE class liked it anyway!
Calculating With The Speed Of Sound

Calculating With The Speed Of Sound

(2)
I've been dying to use this pair from Disney&'s Brother Bear movie. Can you use the speed of sound to calculate how far away the nearest mountain is? Designed as a starter.
What Was The Question? - Probability Special
alutwychealutwyche

What Was The Question? - Probability Special

(5)
Four sets of four probability problems where parts of the question are missing but you have the answer. This is designed to get students thinking more deeply about topics and some questions allow for various answers which leads to differentiation as students can be asked to give the possible range of answers. This should lead to discussion in class.
Have A Pizza These Maths Problems

Have A Pizza These Maths Problems

(3)
I came up with the title on the sheet first and then built some maths problems around them. The grades for each are only to give an idea to the students, but hopefully it will get them thinking functionally.
Clumsy Clive On Decimals, Fractions and Percentages

Clumsy Clive On Decimals, Fractions and Percentages

(5)
Clive is having more issues, this time with decimals, and a little bit of fractions and percentages. This involves ordering, adding, multiplying, dividing and recurring decimals. Clive needs someone to explain what he’s got wrong. This should encourage students to demonstrate their understanding.
Volume Puzzles

Volume Puzzles

(7)
I’ve no idea where I got these (if they were yours then message me and I will give credit as it’s certainly due) but I only had a paper copy so I have typed them up because I use them every year. They do exactly what they say on the tin. I have added my own one with slightly harder shapes entitled Cake Joke, but it’s the same thing (error corrected).
Crack The Safe - Congruence and Similarity
alutwychealutwyche

Crack The Safe - Congruence and Similarity

(5)
Another “Crack The Safe” activity but on congruence and similarity this time. This enables students to self-check answers as their answer needs to appear in the options. It should generate a bit of discussion too, but the intention for me is to use these as starters or plenaries. Amended question 2.
