I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

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).
I had nothing other than exam questions for inequalities so thought I'd try and come up with something a little more colourful. You solve the inequalities and colour all the integers in the grid that satisfy the inequality to reveal a mathematical symbol.
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.
Choose one of the 6 options and then say what happens next when solving the equation. I used a template (with permission!) for the music from the excellent resource written by DanielBurke - check his resources out as they are top quality. The animations are little clunky, but do the job - I'm sure you could all make it look like Avatar! If you find the answers already on the slide then powerpoint has messed up the animations. Just contact me and I can send you my version.
Two codebreakers, the second one being a touch harder, involving time calculations. Two cheesy jokes for the students to discover. Can be used as a class activity, starter, plenary, discussion exercise or homework (or however you want really, including not at all). Error mentioned in the comments now corrected - thank you!
Calculate how much of the wall can be covered by Willis and Granite's new invention and draw your own conclusions! Involves area, percentages and as a result proportion.
Superman can only throw half as far as usual as he is back on Krypton. Find the midpoints of the pairs of co-ordinates to spell out which villain he's trying to catch.

Calculate the answers, convert to letters and find my next destination on my 'Revision World Tour'.
Using the R. White's 'I&'m a secret lemonade drinker' advert from 1973 (really?!), four questions recalling number facts based on the advert. Video on both Notebook and powerpoint. Great for revision of number facts KS3 mainly.
My daughter loves these things and you can't move in my house for them them so I thought I&'d do a ratio activity involving them. It involves simplifying, sharing and finding value for money.
If the answer's even colour in the square containing the question number, if it&'s odd leave it blank. The QR code created links to Depeche Mode&';s 'Get The Balance Right'; great tune, cheesy video!
This is a powerpoint covering all areas of Core 2. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practice. If there are any silly errors then let me know so I can correct them but I have been through the entire presentation with students who are keen to point out mistakes!
All these Christmas-themed resources are available for free but if you want them as a bundle then here you go. These festive worksheets cover number and algebra including Bidmas, solving equations, linear and quadratic graphs, co-ordinates, ratio, inequalities, LCM, estimation and simultaneous equations.
This worksheet has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. This one covers linear sequences (finding their nth terms) and contains an answer sheet. I use these as starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this topic" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too.
Each of these 20 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of number topics from fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, of an amount), percentages (of an amount, increase/decrease, repeated change), ratio (simplifying and sharing), indices (simplifying, negative and fractional) and negative numbers. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.
