Can you tell from its opening weekend how much the new movie Solo: A Star Wars Story can earn in cinemas? This activity can be used anytime and is especially timely when there is a new blockbuster movie released. You can add future movies to the activity. The data for this activity can be found at: boxofficemojo.com.
Students compare “Opening Weekend” amounts to “Total Earned (Gross)” data to try to predict how much money the new Hans Solo movie (which earned almost $220,000,000 in its opening weekend in the U.S.) will make at cinemas. This task is accessible for any student who can plot points on a grid. More advanced students can create a line of best fit to model the data and make predictions. By plotting and analyzing the data students decide if they can, in fact, predict the future.
At functional skills and GCSE Maths learners are expected to plot data and predict results, this activity helps do that in a fun and enjoyable way that will grab their attention.

This starter requires concentration and sharp mental arithmetic!
On mini whiteboards or on paper students draw a 4 x 4 grid. They have to try to fill the grid with correct answers. The questions are only shown for 3 seconds at a time but they will repeat throught out the duration of the quiz, so they have to think fast!
When time is up you can review the questions and answers by clicking on the tiles.
The quiz includes 16 mental maths questions that studnets should be able to answer without a calculator including area of rectangles, volume, percentages, fractions of amounts, multiplication, time, measurement and averages.
A card matching activity on pie charts. Suitable for GCSE Maths and Functional Skills Maths. Learners have to match a set of 9 frequency tables with their matching pie charts. To do so they will have to work out the angles from the data given on the frequency tables and then match them to the corresponding pie chart. To do this they will have to measure the angles on the pie charts with a protractor. A fun and engaging activity on working out angles in pie charts and measuring pie chart angles that I get learners to work on in pairs.
I use this is an activity within a pie chart lesson but could be used as a starter or plenary.
A matching activity that can be used as a starter, plenary or lesson activity. Learners match the questions on adding/subtracting fractions using common denominators to the correct answers. Suitable for GCSE Maths

The entire activity is housed in one GOOGLE Form. There are no links to outside websites. The 4-letter codes are set with answer validation so that students cannot move to the next puzzle until they enter the correct code.
Download includes a pdf, that explains how to access and use the Google Form.
