Fractions Codbreakers

Fractions Codbreakers

(0)
Two more, one on fractions (simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) and one on mixed numbers (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing). The questions, when answered correctly, spell out the punchline to a fish related joke/pun. Good for lessons or online as they are self-marking.
Currency Conversion Codbreaker

Currency Conversion Codbreaker

(0)
I realised that I didn’t have anything on currency conversion so I amended the situation and you get to reveal another lame fish joke. Typo corrected.
Forming A Ratio From Ratios Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Forming A Ratio From Ratios Codbreaker

(0)
Two ratios blend into one… and form a fish-related pun. Great for starters, plenaries or main tasks (some people use them for homework). Question 1 is now corrected; I clearly needed to warm up.
Recipe Ratios Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Recipe Ratios Codbreaker

(0)
These are actual recipes so consider this cross-curricular but ultimately this involves recipes and proportion/ratio to find a (terrific) fish joke. Ideal for starters, plenaries, main tasks or homeworks. Proper one posted now!
Everyday Proportion Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Everyday Proportion Codbreaker

(0)
Essentially this covers both direct and inverse proportion using everyday situations (currency conversion, recipes etc); when answered correctly a fish pun reveals itself. Ideal for an online task, homework, starter, plenary etc
Direct and Inverse Proportion Codbreakers
alutwychealutwyche

Direct and Inverse Proportion Codbreakers

(0)
Two fish-based jokes: one on direct proportion and one on inverse proportion. Each has tables of paired values and students need to work out the equation linking x and y. These work nicely in class or as a homework.
Algebraic Fractions Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Algebraic Fractions Codbreaker

(0)
Another fish joke discovered having written and simplified some algebraic fractions as a single fractions. Ideal for starters, plenaries, main tasks and homeworks; they are surprisingly popular given the standard of joke…
Quadratic Inequalities Codebreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Quadratic Inequalities Codebreaker

(0)
Another one of these; solve the quadratic inequalities and reveal the joke. Ideal for students at home or in school as the fact that it spells out a short sentence means that they know whether they are doing it right; they also like the competitive nature of getting to the end first in my experience.
Generating Coordinates From Equations Of Lines Codebreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Generating Coordinates From Equations Of Lines Codebreaker

(0)
Find the missing values in the coordinates given the equation. The joke is a classic but will make the students groan. These are ideal for class or homework tasks as the students will know whether they are going correctly because the words will begin to form; they also like the competitive nature of getting to the answer first.
Generating Points On Curves Codebreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Generating Points On Curves Codebreaker

(0)
Ultimately this is a substitution exercise that reveals a joke. These seem popular with students who like getting the joke first and can be used in most classroom/homework situations. This involves mainly quadratic curves but also a couple of cubics and a reciprocal.
Substituting Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Substituting Codbreaker

(0)
Substitute the given values into the expression to reveal the fish pun; good for class or homework and ideal for online learning.
Midpoints and Distance Between Two Points Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Midpoints and Distance Between Two Points Spiders

(0)
Four “spiders”: two on midpoints, two on finding the distance between two points. Midpoints: some questions ask students to find the midpoint, some give the midpoint and one coordinate. Distance: the first spider asks students to find distance (the final question asks students to find a points a given distance from another point). The second gives one point and a length; this could lead to a discussion on Pythagorean triples. Suggested/examples of answers are given where there are multiple options.
Compound Measures Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Compound Measures Codbreaker

(0)
This contains questions on speed, density, pressure and population density, with questions getting increasingly challenging as you go through. These sheets seem popular with students and are ideal for working in school or from home.
Density Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Density Codbreaker

(0)
Answer the questions, reveal the fish-related joke. You know how these work by now. Ideal for online lessons, homework or in class tasks.
Deriving Algebraic Area Formulae
alutwychealutwyche

Deriving Algebraic Area Formulae

(0)
I needed something for deriving formulae and came up with this. There are some that take students through the process by the hand and then four at the end that ask students to go solo (as it were).
Pressure Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Pressure Codbreaker

(0)
Various questions involving pressure, including converting between different measurements of pressure. The joke is related to fish hence the name of the resource. These are ideal for online lessons, homeworks or in class.
Population Density Codbreaker
alutwychealutwyche

Population Density Codbreaker

(0)
A fish joke after some population density questions are answered correctly; like a dream come true for many, I’m sure… Ideal for in class, homework or online. As the answers spell out a word or short sentence students know if they are going right or need help.
