A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games' - original was 'The Number Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams.

A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams. It's supposed to be non-calculator! I may do a sequel for this as there are a few topics I haven't covered.

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'.

Simplify the expressions, find the answer, reveal the film title! Simples. I may add more versions as a differentiated thing at a later date.

Factorise the expressions, find the answer, reveal the film title! Simples. I may add more versions as a differentiated thing at a later date.

Expand the brackets, find the answer, reveal the film title! Simples. I may add more versions as a differentiated thing at a later date.

Superman can only throw half as far as usual as he is back on Krypton. Find the midpoints of the pairs of co-ordinates to spell out which villain he's trying to catch.

The infamous terrorist 'The Mathematician' has planted more bombs. Answer the problems, pick the right answer then scan the QR code associated with that answer. The song or artist that appears contains a number which is part of the code required to defuse the bomb. Riddled with 80s classics! Enjoy!

If the answer is above 1 colour in the question number, if it's below 1 then leave it blank. It links to Thompson Twin's 'Love On Your Side' purely because it&'s a great song!

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.

If the answer's even colour in the square containing the question number, if it&'s odd leave it blank. The QR code created links to Depeche Mode&';s 'Get The Balance Right'; great tune, cheesy video!

From simplifying to evaluating, including negative and fractional indices. The usual 'stop the bomb blowing up' saga. No algebra, just numerical.

A fairly simple set of questions which convert between 12 and 24 hour time, time calculations, timetables and a simple speed/distance/time problem. I'm now struggling a little for ice/cold puns!

Ice Cream issues again for Lark Ices and Stannister Dairy who have some dodgy software that keeps going wrong, hence the need for them to estimate and round. Goes from simple rounding, through estimating calculations to upper and lower bounds.

I've been itching to do a maths 'Games of Thrones' thing for a while and then this popped into my head. Fraction of a number, comparing fractions and adding and subtracting all in the name of an ice cream war!

A sheet where students can pick the section on which they need more work (self-differentiated no less). Ranges from plain old fractions, through functional plain old fractions, through mixed numbers through functional mixed numbers. No bells, whistles, anything like that, just a load of questions. I have added a 'Prove It' sheet so that the class can show you what they can now do.

The usual format from adding and subtracting simple fractions up to mixed numbers on number 2. Some answers need simplifying.

A themed episode of Bargain Hunt and some ratio problems to solve as a result. Some worded questions for students to pick the bones out of.

If you've not seen Storage Hunters on Dave (or the equivalent channel in your country) then you are missing out, but this activity uses the concept of someone buying something and selling it on, hopefully for a profit on their part. The students must read carefully then calculate the percentage profit or loss.

Two sheets, one using integers (whole numbers) and one involving decimals. The usual format and self-checking as if the answer is not in the list you've made a mistake!
