Two vectors codebreakers with cheesy jokes having answered some questions. My classes like these and I’ve been using them whilst remote learning as they are easy to mark and the students know whether they are right or not straight away or almost straight away.

Three sheets of increasingly difficult questions regarding parallel lines and their angle properties. On a couple of questions the students have to draw a diagram given the answer.

These are terrible cheese jokes discovered by answering maths questions. There are 15 more if you like these. The students like the challenge of finding the punchline in my experience.

Answer the questions about truncation to reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke. These are popular in class in my experience.

This was written with AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate in mind but could easily be used for GCSE candidates. The joke is a classic as the students won’t guess it but it is actually quite funny (I didn’t write it, clearly).

The usual stuff; cheesy joke revealed upon answering some questions.

This was done using a free piece of software (search online for 'Physics Tracker') to track objects and plot a distance/time graph. I designed it to be a discussion activity, explaining what's happening at each stage of the graph.

Two situations regarding mutually exclusive events with six questions and ten potential answers. These are useful for students to get on and check that their answers are on the sheet whilst the teacher can help those who are completely stuck.

Students must answer the questions on simplifying ratios to reveal the punchline to a cheesy fish-related joke. These work well both in class and online as students who are confident just get on with the words revealed whilst teacher can help those who need it.

The usual "do the Maths, find the punchline) thing; find where the coordinates have moved to after the transformation. I particularly like this joke, by the way.

I needed something for a bar chart and pie chart consolidation lesson and thought of this in the car; Barbara likes bar charts, Piers likes pie charts (the puns are clearly intended). There are two bar charts to convert to pie charts and two pie charts to convert to bars.

Calculate the bearings and discover the punchline for a joke involving fish. These have worked really well in online lessons but also before with real-life lessons so enjoy!

More challenging questions involving prime factors, HCF and LCM for students to work out. These are popular as a starter, plenary or main activity despite the jokes generally being a bit lame (this one is a classic though).

Various ratio questions (5 on each sheet) with 3 possible answers for each. Every answer is linked to a QR Code that links to a music video containing a number or colour. Get the code and defuse the bomb.

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.

Students can use the nth term to answer these sequence questions but it doesn’t push them that way. The joke is cheesy but you’ve probably come to expect that by now… ideal in class, online or as a homework.

Simplify the complex numbers (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) to reveal the “hilarious” punchline. Good for something different…?

Differentiate the expressions to reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke. I will probably use this as a starter but you can use it however you like…

Four spiders which are easiest at 12 o’clock then get harder clockwise; they also allow for debate about what function fits the coordinates given. These are designed to stop students just following a set of rules and to get them thinking; I hope it works!

This is designed for students sitting AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate (it could be a basic A Level one too), but it is the usual thing: answer question, laugh at joke.
