Another joke whose punchline is revealed upon doing a load of maths. This is designed as a plenary/starter. Numbers 1 and 2 in the "Solving Quadratics" series are uploaded from months ago. Error corrected this time I hope!

Inspired by mrbarton - includes odd, even, squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots, primes, multiples and factors.

Forming and solving equations in a functional way. How Many MP4 Players In A Box? - Equations. Having really struggled with a class over solving equations I came up with this idea of finding out how many MP4 players are in a box. It's an attempt to make solving equations more accessible, including multiplying out brackets.

Real-life problems involving direct and inverse proportion showing students that they don't have to be a mthematical whizz in order to understand the topic.

Insert the numbers in the correct positions, making the calculations correct to win a roast dinner for the hungry camp members. Thank you for all the feedback about the confusing wording. I have changed it so hopefully it now makes more sense!

Substitute the values into the expressions and unravel the famous mathematician. Updated so the instructions are actually accurate!

This worksheet is designed to practise naming linear graphs from the landscape of a new computer game. This could be extended to drawing their own plus parabolas, depending on the ability of the class.

Match the fractions, totals and answers to make five mathematically correct questions and answers - it only works one way.

Find the co-ordinates of all the decorations on my Christmas tree.

This is designed for students to recognise types of graph from their equation. It could lead to discussion too.

Find the lengths of the tunnels using the Sine and Cosine Rules. The students have to decide which to use with the information that they have. An attempt to show a use for the mathematics in a real life sense.

Help Santa and the elves order how much wood they need to make this batch of presents, but there are no calculators!

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.

How can I do these addition calculations on my calculator when the calculator has lost its addition sign? This is to get across the fact that 2 negatives make a positive.

New timetable, low ability class and I needed some function machines.

This is a simple linear graph exercise for fairly basic y=mx+c work, unless you chose to ban certain linear graphs like y=x or y=-x etc.

Find the equations of the lines that the rugby player ran to score the 'amazing solo try'.

Calculate the area and perimeter of the card to make the snowman decoration.
