As many of my students struggle with number facts and recalling what they mean I thought I'd do this as a bank of starters/plenaries. Nothing to print, just display on the board.

Paying homage to the 24th outing for Britain's favourite special agent, here is Spectre Vectors. It includes resultant vectors, magnitudes of vectors and describing in terms of a and b. My GCSE class liked it anyway!

Codebreakers - Differentiation (GCSE Content)

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.

I've been dying to use this pair from Disney&'s Brother Bear movie. Can you use the speed of sound to calculate how far away the nearest mountain is? Designed as a starter.
Death Star Maths - Standard Form

Death Star Maths - Standard Form

(4)
Inspired by the imminent release of the new Star Wars film The Force Awakens and an article on the BBC's Newsbeat website (linked in the Powerpoint) I created these standard form questions based upon predictions made by mathematicians regarding the Galactic Empire's Death Star. Just a bit of fun really, but eight standard form questions for your students to try, mainly converting from standard form to "normal" numbers and vice versa, but one calculation at the end. There's also some Death Star facts that could provide extra questions if you wish.

Find the formulae to calculate how many Snickers bars Mr T fires at the walker and the swimmer. Starts off with numerical problems then moves onto general formulae.

If you've done these before it follows the same pattern. If not, you show the screen for 30 seconds, they look in silence (without writing anything). They then get everything down on paper. Show the screen a few more times. Judge at the end. Instructions are on there.

This works its way up from very basic simplifying expressions (grade G/1) to complex algebra like completing the square (grade A/8) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

This works its way up from very basic equivalence (grade F/2) to repeated percentage change/compound interest (grade B/7) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

This works its way up from solving very basic equations (grade G/1) to solving quadratic equations graphically (grade A*/9) via letters on both sides and quadratics (various methods) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

Ratio and Proportion - Find Your Level

(0)
This works its way up from simplifying basic ratios (grade D/3) to real life ratio problems including recipes (grade C/4) onto conversion graphs (C/4) then direct and inverse proportion including their graphs (A/7) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

Indices and Standard Form - Find Your Level

(0)
This works its way up from very basic simplifying of indices (grade F/1) or reading/writing in standard form (D/3) to simplifying algebraically with negative and fractional indices (grade A/8) and calculating in standard form (B/7) through a series of questions on the topic and more practice questions if required. Students click through based upon their ability to answer the questions and should allow them to focus their revision at the correct point.

Discover the punchline to the lame joke (I use it in class on a regular basis) by solving the equations involving brackets and fractional parts. I have got "Solving Equations Codebreakers 1, 2 and 3" elsewhere, uploaded a while ago.
