Five slides each containing five problems which have either been answered correctly or incorrectly; students decide and justify their answer. This is designed to encourage discussion in class. Topics include simplifying ratio, sharing in a given given, simple proportion, algebraic proportion etc.

I found an image of lots of the Star Wars vehicles on the internet and noticed that loads had symmetry; hence this was produced. I have downloaded a Star Wars font hence it’s a PDF as unless you have downloaded the same font the text will be in a dull font. Pretty simple mathematically but could lead onto more difficult stuff.

Arrange equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages into 'family' photos. I have done the smartboard file to show on the board and drag the fractions etc into the right frame if you like.

Powers calculations to get correct so that the student can defuse the bomb successfully. This is based upon squares and cubes but ventures into other powers of 2 and 10.

How many Christmas lights will be needed to make this house festive?

Determine what power x is in each case and link it to the correct answer.

A shopkeeper has dropped some boxes of Easter eggs and spilled the contents. Can you help him work oou how many of each sweet goes in the large and small eggs?

Another one of these, taking students through the skills required for linear graphs up to and including perpendicular line.

Two “Crack The Safe” activities on rounding, estimation and bounds; the first one is simple decimal places and significant figures and the second involves bounds. These contain six questions but ten possible answers meaning that students can self-check their answers (are they in the list of possible answers?) whilst the teacher can help those who require it. I use these as starters and plenaries but that is obviously up to you.

Answer the questions, match to the letters and get a fish-related joke. These are useful in class, online or for homework; students seem to like them too despite the quality of the jokes…

Erica is struggling with 3D vectors here, including unit vectors, magnitudes and areas of triangles. Designed for the new A level syllabus it doesn't get as "difficult" as they did in Core 4 but this should allow students to demonstrate their understanding.

The next in the “Building Blocks” series going through all the skills that lead up to different ratio problems. I have included simplifying fractions, unit conversion, HCF before moving on to ratio problems of varying difficulty levels. Hopefully this should provide some useful revision tasks.

This details the skills required to perform GCSE proofs up to grade 8/9 building up from the basics to the more complicated questions.

Charles Xavier has asked Wolverine to run an angles course this term but Wolverine's angle knowledge is a little rusty. Can you answer the questions and explain to Wolverine which angle property you've used? Contains the following: on a line, around a point, in a triangle, in a quadrilateral, parallel lines

Erica has started calculus but is struggling yet again. Please help correct her work and explain what she has done wrong in each case. Designed to promote discussion in the classroom.

The usual: “do the thing, reveal the punchline to cheesy joke”. Students seem to like them (and some of my classes rate the jokes in their books).

Here are some simple average questions from sets of data, plus one question using a frequency table too, all on one sheet.

The 1D boys are describing what it's like to be a pop star but using all the wrong units of measurement; the measurements are correct, but the units need converting. This is an attempt to make metric conversions a bit of fun. I have produced two powerpoints depending on the ability of your class: 1. highlighted to make the units stand out; 2. not highlighted.

The elves have packed the sleigh with two sacks before checking the weight of each present! There isn't time to unpack the presents to weigh the presents individually, so can you use your knowledge of algebra to help?

Three sheets varying from basic up to difficult. Angles 1 - lines, around a point, triangles. Angles 2 - parallel lines, polygons. Angles 3 - circle theorems. Each QR code links to a song where the band or song contains either a number or colour and they must find the final code. Could lead onto questioning and explanations as to how they arrived at their answer.
