Three levels starting at simple metric conversion, then calculating with different metric units before converting imperial to metric. I used Vampire Diaries as one of my Year 9 class requested it. The worksheet is set out as a "RAG" activity where you prove what you know by answering the questions. It's short enough to be a plenary or starter and the presentation can be split into individual tasks.

This works its way up from horizontal and vertical graphs with their equations (grade F/2) to equations of circles (grade A*/9) 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.

I found this map of the Neet (Not in Employment, Education or Training) data from 2009/10. I have looked at Worthing purely because that's where I work. Not the most happy statistics, but real-life and relevent to the kids, and might encourage them to get the best grades they can before they because a statistic!

Can you spot which fractions shouldn't be in in picture?

Find out how far Wall-E has to travel on one patrol so that he can charge his battery. It's a short worksheet on perimeter for my low ability Year 9s, but I will use it elsewhere!

The Perimeter Fencing Company like getting the best deal they can for their customers when they put a fence around a ploit, which means no wastage. Calculate the exact amount of fencing required for each plot.

The usual colour in when (the coefficient of x is) even but leave blank when odd. This involves very basic simplifying up to multiplying out brackets. Links to Madonna's 'Express Yourself'.

The numbers from 1 to 50 are in the grid, if it's a prime number colour it in, if not leave it blank. The QR code links to The Cure's 'Primary' for obvious reasons: the name of the song and it&'s good.

Nothing particularly enlightening here other than I found that using function machines to show how to calculate a dimension given the area formula seemed to work quite nicely with a class of mine. This should be a discussion activity in my view.

Casey is doing the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but keeps making mistakes; can your class help Casey and explain what went wrong? This time Casey is tackling circle theorems, trigonometric identities, trigonometric equations and surds (trigonometry in right-angled triangles). Spot the mistakes…

Casey’s tackling quadratic sequences, quadratic inequalities, factorising cubics using the factor theorem and solving quadratics “in disguise” but making errors again and need your class’ help. Ideal for discussion in class… Designed for use in the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course.

Casey is making mistakes in the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate chapter on Coordinate Geometry, involving gradients, circles (equations), dividing lines in a ratio; can your class help Casey out? This works nicely in class and gets students discussing mathematics. Typo corrected…

Casey is at it again whilst going through the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course. Algebra III is essentially functions so this includeds domain/range, equations of functions given two points, composite functions, functions split in to three distinct parts. The usual correct and explain stuff which encourages discussion in class.

Casey is making mistakes again, this time involving difference of two square, rearranging formulae, algebraic fractions and completing the square where the coefficient of x squared is not 1 (and is negative). The aim is to get classes discussing methods and deepening understanding and is aimed at the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course (Chapter 2).

This is a powerpoint covering probability from basic single events to tree diagrams of dependent events. 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; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

These are all available individually for free but are available as one big bunch here. The concept is to choose the correct order to cut the wires by answering the questions correctly - each wire is linked to a question. Not all the wires need cutting to prevent guessing at the end. I use these as starters, plenaries (prove you can do the work tasks) and quick homeworks!
