The Walking Dead - Season 2 - Locus and Construction

(7)
Guide Deputy Nick Crimes past the shufflers and nibblers (zombies) by construction accurate paths upon which he must travel and loci upon which he must pay close attention. Six different situations involving perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors and loci. Worksheet available for student to draw on and PowerPoint has animated answers.
Functions Spiders

Functions Spiders

(7)
Practice on the function notation (new to GCSE!) involving substituting into a function and finding the value of x given what f(x) equals. This also involves composite functions. This should hopefully encourage your class to talk about their answers and understanding of the topic. Now includes an extra "find the inverse" slide!
Catch Up Questions Sampler

Catch Up Questions Sampler

(3)
I've been asked a few times what these are like so thought I'd put one of each "Number", "Algebra", "Geometry" and "Data" out there for people to peruse at their leisure. These are worksheets that can be used for either revision, homework or those students who have missed work with each containing a QR code that will scan to a short tutorial video.
Enlargement - An Introduction

Enlargement - An Introduction

(4)
This is split into four parts: finding scale factor, enlargement with no centre, enlargement with a centre, enlargement on a co-ordinate grid. It is supposed to scaffold up from basic to relatively difficult, but not too difficult! Typos corrected...
Erica's Errors On Sequences and Series

Erica's Errors On Sequences and Series

(6)
Erica is getting a bit lost on arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. Could you please help her sort out her homework? Her errors will need explaining so that they aren't made again. A task designed to encourage discussion.
Cartoon Linear Graphs - KS3/KS4

Cartoon Linear Graphs - KS3/KS4

(1)
Cartoon Linear Graphs: Get from one character to their sidekick and tell name the line upon which they've just travelled in the graph. An attempt to make linear graphs a bit more interesting.
Fenton's Simultaneous Equations

Fenton's Simultaneous Equations

(2)
Fenton the dog likes chasing deer and geese through Richmond Park (the original video from YouTube is included in the Notebook file). The Rangers need to calculate the number of distressed animals there are as a result of the chases using the total number of feet chased and the total number of animals.
Exploding Shapes

Exploding Shapes

(7)
This is designed as a starter, plenary or a discussion exercise. There are four "explosions" to work through and I have given you the choice of the students working out the shapes from the properties or finding the properties given the shape. This moves from triangles and quadrilaterals to polygons to 3D shapes. Some shapes have the same property so link to the same cloud. This has been designed to check understanding and to give some the opportunity to expand on properties. I have not included all properties of all shapes to naturally generate discussion and differentiation.
Monsters Inc - Properties of Number

Monsters Inc - Properties of Number

(4)
This is aimed at lower ability but could also be used for higher ability. It combines maths and drawing as you have to sketch what the monster should look like given the properties. The first two have specific numbers, the second two offer a variety of answers and was intended (by me) to lead to discussion, but you could use it however you like!
Party Planner - Substitution
alutwychealutwyche

Party Planner - Substitution

(3)
Help test the formulae the party planner uses to calculate the amounts of each item they need. Very straight forward and intended for a low ability set.
The Algebra Games
alutwychealutwyche

The Algebra Games

(2)
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.
Perimeter and Area Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Perimeter and Area Matching

(4)
This takes students through basic shapes (rectangles and triangles) to trapeziums and parallelograms and finally circles, including compound shapes. I use these as starters or plenaries but use them how you like.
