Loom Band Ratio

Loom Band Ratio

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.

Andy's SSDD Questions 4 - Hobbies

This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use ratio, Pythagoras, time, fractions, probability, percentages and measures as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.
Building Blocks - Indices

Building Blocks - Indices

This takes you through basic indices then on to fractional and negative indices covering all the skills required allowing students to understand how they all link up to reach the most challenging question types.
Bounds Spiders

Bounds Spiders

(4)
Four "spiders" to practise bounds. Starting simple, moving on to rounding to the nearest centimetre then significant figures. This does nothing special but will hopefully make students think and encourage discussion about bounds.

What Was The Question? - Indices and Surds Special

(3)
Four sets of four problems where students have the answer but there are blanks in the questions which require filling in. This is designed to create discussion in class and hopefully provides natural differentiation (stretch the “top end” by finding the general solution where possible compared to finding a single solution). It focuses on the more “challenging” aspects of indices including negative and fractional. I will be using these as starters or plenaries as I believe they will develop deeper understanding of topics, but feel free to use them as you like.

Trigonometric Functions - Fill In The Blanks

(0)
Either sketch, figure out the equation, state intersections with axes or state maxima/minima of these trigonometric functions or a combination. There are 10 of increasing difficulty and hopefully discussions in class will be forthcoming…
Exploding Angles

Exploding Angles

(4)
This activity is designed to be either a quick starter/plenary or a part of a lesson activity. It aims to encourage students to explain their geometric reasoning regarding angles properties including circle theorems. This should lead to discussion as there are some questions where the answer can be achieved in more than one way.
Algebra Tour de France

Algebra Tour de France

(4)
Calculate each team's final position in the race by substituting in a value of your choice. There's a bit of algebraic proof in there too to see if the teams will finish in the same position regardless of the value substituted.
Percentages Matching

Percentages Matching

(3)
This is a series of activities from basic percentages through to percentage change, including repeated change/compound interest. This is designed to create discussion and hopefully will offer something different to just working through an exercise from a book.
Crack The Safe - Graphs (Gradient, Equations of Lines, Equations of Curves, Transforming)

Crack The Safe - Graphs (Gradient, Equations of Lines, Equations of Curves, Transforming)

(3)
Three “Crack The Safe” activities on graphs (one on calculating gradient, one on y=mx+c, one on finding coordinates given an equation, one on transforming functions: two quadratics and a trigonometric function). 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.

Building Blocks - Statistical Diagrams

Taking students all the way from pictograms, through bar charts, pie charts, stem-and-leaf, scatter graphs, frequency diagrams, cumulative frequency, box plots and histograms. The graphs are as large as I can make them and should be ok if copied on to A4.

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.

Bar Chart Wordsearch

Find the words in the wordsearch then complete the sentences using them. I'd use this as a "plenary" but don't let that influence you.

What Was The Question? - Solving Equations Special

(2)
Four sets of four problems where students have the answer but there are blanks in the questions which require filling in. This is designed to create discussion in class and hopefully provides natural differentiation (stretch the “top end” by finding the general solution where possible compared to finding a single solution). Whilst some of the questions can be answered without using algebra, this could be a way of convincing that the letters in algebra are just numbers! I will be using these as starters or plenaries as I believe they will develop deeper understanding of topics, but feel free to use them as you like.

I hate having waste, so calculate how many people I should invite to the party to ensure that I have no left overs.
