I was doing some revision with a class and realised that I was yet to do a sheet involving HCF and LCM and everything along those lines. That is now remedied.

Calculate how much food my pets are going to need whilst I'm away on holiday for a week. This involves multiplying, dividing and adding fractions.

Laura Craft, our hero, has slides to go down this time ot complete the game that are in the shape of cubic graphs. we have the equations but not the graphs (you need to draw them) and work out which is the steepest - could you tell from the equations?

This covers pictograms, bar charts and dual bar charts. It is just a simple set of 4 queestions, nothing more than it says on the tin.

Erica is struggling with integrating e^x, is getting confused between integrating 1/(x) and 1/(x^2) and basic trigonometric integration. Can someone help her out? This is designed to help students discussion and prove their understanding.

This is an activity taking students through nth terms of arithmetic sequences, summing arithmetic sequences and nth terms of quadratic sequences. Different pieces of information are given each time to ensure that students develop understanding rather than get in a rut and performing a process. This should lead to discussion in class between students and teacher.

The “Building Blocks” sequel to “Percentage of an Amount” - this goes through percentage change of all types.

Erica is struggling with the binomial expansion; can you (and your class) help Erica correct the answers she has arrived at and explain to her what she has done incorrectly. This is designed to create discussion and help students become familiar with new style questions. Actual thing now linked - sorry!

Eight quadratic functions to complete the square (including one where the coefficient of "x squared" is not 1) for students to do then plot the graphs. The aim is for them to spot how completing the square informs transformations of functions.

Five matching activities involving the Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and finding the area of a triangle using trigonometry. These are designed to show learning/demonstrate understanding whether as a starter or plenary but could be used all together as a lesson's main activity.

Calculate how many heads the Hydra will have after a certain amount of cuts by Hercules. The Powerpoint now contains the video.

Three “Crack The Safe” activities on expressions: expanding and factorising, including quadratics and expanding three brackets. These contain six questions (four on the three brackets) but three possible answers for each question 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.

A task based on card shuffling from QI from a video posted on Twitter by @bobloch. What possible order could the cards be in in each case?

From basic differentiation to finding gradients and turning points to displacement, velocity and acceleration; each one gives the answer to a joke. The "Gradients and Turning Points" one has the words mixed up as I reckon a few will be able to guess the punchline. A couple of typos corrected.

This was an idea I had in a bid to get the students to explain their thinking mathematically. Error corrected!

This covers from simple finding pairs of integers up to completing the square, including completing the square and the quadratic formula. I will put solving graphically on a another one as there wasn’t room here.

This leads on from 'Misleading Graphs' where the students have to draw a graph in an effort to convince a Small Business Manager to give them a loan.

Use one of the three calculations given to find the answers to the questions and reveal a rather good joke (if you like golf). these are popular with students and ideal for either using in class, online or as a homework in my experience. This could be used at KS3 or KS2 i think.

This is a whole set of lessons based around Maths in the real world: currency conversion, deals in shops, sales, tax, misleading statistics, ratio and proportion (recipes) etc. Each section has separate resources. I have put everything into one PowerPoint (“Whole”) but also uploaded them separately in case people want them individually. It is not supposed to get in to fine detail but just open student eyes to Maths that appears in day-to-day life just a little.

I came up with this activity whilst toasting crumpets for breakfast over half term. This gives the opportunity to measure/read bearings accurately and find the position of something given a bearing from two points. Answers are the best I could do from my computer screen!
