In teams of 2 or 3 a fun relay with challenging questions allowing the pupils to still be pushed and review several topics at the same time.
Takes 50 minutes on average to complete so a full lesson can be had from this
questions all relate to the tour de france and cover probability, speed/distance/time, ratio averages
answers included, pupils always enjoy the element of competition
(easy to adapt, I allow 2 marks per question. I get the pupils to pick 2 numbers before the start, have one worth 10 marks and only 1 attempt, the other loses all previous correct marks if they get it wrong on their only attempt at it)
hope you enjoy it

Each section broken down with examples and follow up work. Challenge questions include linking the area of the triangles.
Activities include 2 worksheets with answers built into the powerpoint. Wordsearch of the key words and a mixed question type treasure hunt that would cater to paired work well.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Please leave feedback.

have now added some further challenging questions
Whole topic covered on similar shapes
Starts with lengths and scale factors moves on to links between scale factors for length area and perimeter.
The ppt can be used as either a single lesson or as two lessons as more than enough work in there for it.
Several discussion tasks built into the powerpoint
Worked examples, definitions worksheets (with full answers) and 2 treasure hunts which can run parallel to avoid having people follow each other as easily.
