Save Our Satellite - Simultaneous Equations: Trying to find a real life example of where we might solve simultaneous equations graphically I came up with this. Students have to plot to linear graphs and find the point of impact. You could bring in Pythagoras and find out if the two bodies were travelling at the same speed would they actually collide, but I wanted to keep the worksheet to one side of A4.

Robot Wars Challenge: a pair of worksheets which I was trying to bring vectors into a real-life context. Hopefully I've succeeded. A great activity for GCSE students.

Cartoon Linear Graphs: Get from one character to their sidekick and tell name the line upon which they've just travelled in the graph. An attempt to make linear graphs a bit more interesting.

In these worksheets students read the 14 cartoon characters' co-ordinates from the grid. Makes reading co-ordinates a little more fun!

Go through the circle theorems with your class then get them to use their newly found knowledge when calculating the missing angles on these logos for the embroidery machine.

In these worksheets the various questions use how many songs you can get onto an MP3 player (1Gb = 250 songs) to look at ratio. Leads onto other questions involving fractions and percentages.

No knowledge of cricket required, just some names of counties! Choose the correct numbers from the list and unjumble the letters.

Choose the numbers that are either multiples or factors of the number in italics and unjumble the letters to find a football team.

Substitute the values into the expressions and unravel the famous mathematician. Updated so the instructions are actually accurate!

In this activity various cartoon characters have been transformed - can the students describe each transformation?

This activity uses clues involving number facts and special numbers to find certain items in a supermarket. Some of the clues are easier than others, but it's a nice challenge and makes students aware of Fibonacci, square, cube and triangle numbers.

A KS3 resource activity with worksheets to be completed by students. This was an idea I had that actually came to fruition - it's based around a secret agent type mission. It involves deciphering codes, grid references, bearings, simplifying algebra, ordering fractions and sequences. I did a silly video to introduce it using some of my daughter's puppets. Hope you enjoy it, my classes certainly did.

Slightly harder equivalences to colour in

A simple sheet to match up equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages - colouring in the equivalences in the same colour.

This is a great GCSE activity in which students match each equation to its gradient, y-interceptor and the co-ordinate on it. I wrote this in order to get across the idea of y=mx+c plus the fact that it describes the link between the x and y co-ordinates.

Read this piece of news item from the BBC Sport website, then answer the questions, mainly about percentage change.

Fun Pupil Activity. Suitable for KS3 and KS4. Worksheet where pupils solve the equations and colour in all the answers on the grid in order to read Tony the Tiger's text message. Now with an answer sheet.

Independent student revision activity. Solve the problems, unjumble the letters and plot my path around Europe. Great revison for number topics. Order of operations, finding fractions/percentages of an amount/quantity, equivalent ratios. SSM Shape geometry, calculaing area and perimeter. Statistics calculating averages.
