Make 2-D shapes from missing coordinates

(71)
Find the coordinates that creates the required shape - some of the problems have more than one answer. Others (assuming you use integer values and stay on the grid) do not. Various triangles, square, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium. Final page to identify given shapes - named, congruent, enlargement.

Sequences - using/finding nth term - scaffolded

(11)
Use nth term rule and find nth term for linear expressions (2-sided worksheet for each). Worksheets scaffolded. First with missing terms and second to find multiplier and difference between that times table and the sequence given. Not a lot different to exercises in books but hopefully attractive and less intimidating (limited number of questions!) for a lower ability group.

Deal or No Dealgebra

Deal or No Dealgebra

(0)
Quiz, loosely based on Deal or No Deal. #1 has brackets but easier numbers; #2 has (simple) algebraic fractions; #3 negative and decimal answers. The player has an amount of money. The boxes contain algebraic expressions that say what that box is worth. So, if the player has £100, 2x+50 gives a box value of £250. It could equally be played as a quiz between two teams or individual players trying to get the highest value box. Original idea inspired by CrazyTalk clips on YouTube linked by Keith Ennis.
