May 2020 Codebreaker Bundle

May 2020 Codebreaker Bundle

(1)
These prove popular with many students and colleagues and are perfect for online working due to them spelling out a punchline to a cheesy joke. There are 30 codebreakers in this bundle. Topics covered include: inequalities (regions), cumulative frequency/box plots, probability (including tree diagrams), transformations, circle theorems, set notation, discrete data, factorising quadratics, arc and sectors, averages, statistical graphs and more. Each of these is available individually for free but if you you want them all in one hit then this is for you.

Die Hard With A Mathematical Vengeance

This involves the old water issue, requiring 4 litres when you only have containers of 3 litres and 5 litres, plus an interactive game from subtangent.com. I have done a powerpoint version exported from SmartBoard too, on request, and now I have worked out how to embed the video! Enjoy!

QR Code Puzzle 2 - Solving Equations

(1)
I got this idea from DaveGale (thanks by the way!) and the QR Code links to a picture of me looking silly. I used the website qrstuff.com to generate the original code then deleted some bits so that the kids needed to answer the questions correctly etc. It gives them a real reason to have their phone out too!

I got this idea from DaveGale (thanks by the way!) and the QR Code links to a picture of me looking busy. I used the website qrstuff.com to generate the original code then deleted some bits so that the kids needed to answer the questions correctly etc. It givces them a legitimate reason to have their phone out too!
Star Wars Symmetry

Star Wars Symmetry

(1)
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.

Three different codebreakers covering solving equations of increasing difficulty as you go through them. Solve the equations, find the letter and complete the anagrams of films.

Disco Stu Regular Polygon Properties

This is just anoither effort at getting students to remember facts about polygons. You can use the worksheet with the powerpoint/Notebook files or without. The powerpoint has an embedded video of Disco Stu from the Simpsons but otherwise the two are the same.

I've Taken To Loci With Superman

Having seen a link to a clip from Taken 2 posted by @dwatson802 (thank you, by the way) I came up with this. I was going to do more from Taken 2 but couldn't find a good map of Istanbul! It&'s locus around a point and perpendicular bisector basically with some success criteria.

Bounds Spiders

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.

Collective Memory - Circles and Sectors

Show it for 20 seconds then they have to remember it exactly. I put the picture of me on there so they would concentrate on their reproduction rather than staring around the room, but feel free to change it to a picture of your choice!

Honey, I Enlarged The Kids

Three enlargements for the students to solve for the animators of the sequel to classic eighties Disney hit 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids' It involves co-ordinate grids, fractional and negative enlargements that they have to describe.

Santa's Imperial To Metric Units

An old fashioned elf has labelled all the stuff in Santa's larder with imperial units, but being a modern man Santa only really does metric. Can you convert them all please?

Properties of Number Fairground

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.
