Maths Pub Quizzes - Fun Activity

Some quizzes on fun maths facts. Ideal for KS3 and KS4 students. I decided to do a maths quiz in the style of a pub quiz - hope you enjoy it. It's supposed to be a bit of fun, end of term type thing.
Negative Numbers Codebreakers

Negative Numbers Codebreakers

(25)
Two lame jokes from yours truly whose punchlines are unveiled upon answering the negative numbers questions. Number 1 is simple adding and subtracting, number 2 is multiplying and dividing (including Bidmas).
Perimeter, Area and Volume

Perimeter, Area and Volume

(59)
Taking you through counting squares, to rectangle/triangles/parallelograms/trapeziums to compound shapes, circles, cuboids, prisms, sectors/arc lengths, cones, spheres and frustums (phew!). Complete with success criteria etc.

Spot The Mistakes - Fractions

This is a twist on revision notes. I have written some notes and given examples but there are mistakes that the students have to correct. They must therefore read the notes very carefully and a partner must check their work. The idea is derived from an idea born from a discussion on Twitter (if you're not on Twitter, seriously think about it). I have split the notes up into three but I have included the whole thing so that you can chop them up your own way, or change stuff if you want. It&'s a bit of an experiment and we&';ll see how it goes!
Baking Bad - Season 1 - Ratio and Proportion

Baking Bad - Season 1 - Ratio and Proportion

(52)
Help desperate Food Tech teacher Billy Black with his cake recipes before he's abducted by aliens. Clearly a play on the TV show, but an exercise in simple proportion using amounts of ingredients for recipes - the calculations get progressively more difficult.
Rounding Codebreakers

Rounding Codebreakers

(52)
Four codebreakers (each with a different cheesy joke) on rounding starting with nearest whole 1,10,100 etc, then decimal places, then significant figures and finally a mixture of all types. Error in sheet 1 corrected. More codebreaker resources 🔑 Cheesebreakers (Cheese-related joke) Bundle Codbreaker (Fish-related Joke) Bundle Number + Probability Codebreakers GCSE Maths
Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

(22)
This is a worksheet with some questions on solving simultaneous equation in three sections. Section 1 is two linear equations; section 2 is a quadratic and y=n; section 3 is a quadratic and y=mx+c. The first two sections fit onto two sides of A4 and part 3 is the extension ultimately. There is a RAG table for students to mark their progress and this can be amended depending on how far you want to go. Students will need to plot graphs and estimate solutions as not all are integers. Typos corrected!
Bidmas Spiders

Bidmas Spiders

(22)
I needed something for my top set Year 8 to get their teeth into regarding "order of operations" and since I'm clearly into spiders at the moment this was born. It asks student to place operations and brackets into calculations to make them equal a certain total. There are 4 that get increasingly difficult (no indices involved) and then a challenge (with indices involved). There will also be more than one way to answer some, but I have provided an answer for each.
Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

(30)
A sheet where students can pick the section on which they need more work (self-differentiated no less). Ranges from plain old fractions, through functional plain old fractions, through mixed numbers through functional mixed numbers. No bells, whistles, anything like that, just a load of questions. I have added a 'Prove It' sheet so that the class can show you what they can now do.

Bodmas Cities

Calculate each question using Bodmas/Bidmas, unjumble the letters and find the name of a famous international city!
Homes Under The Hammer - Percentage Change

Homes Under The Hammer - Percentage Change

(42)
Using the format of my favourite daytime television programme, can you calculate whether these people have made a profit or loss, and what the percentage of that may be. There is also a question regarding rental income at the end.

This is a twist on revision notes. I have written some notes and given examples but there are mistakes that the students have to correct. They must therefore read the notes very carefully and a partner must check their work. The idea is derived from an idea born from a discussion on Twitter (if you're not on Twitter, seriously think about it). I have split the notes up into two bits but I have included the whole thing so that you can chop them up your own way, or change stuff if you want. It's a bit of an experiment and we&'ll see how it goes!
Sequences Codebreakers
alutwychealutwyche

Sequences Codebreakers

(28)
Three different codes to crack: number 1 is just finding the next term in the sequence (not all are arithmetic), number 2 is substituting into nth terms (with a simple quadratic or two) and number 3 is finding and using nth terms of arithmetic sequences. Each has a punchline to a joke to find. I use these for starters and plenaries or homeworks as they are very easy to mark. Typo on number 1 corrected.
Algebraic Expressions Spiders

Algebraic Expressions Spiders

(20)
Four "spiders" to help students become comfortable with algebra and manipulating expressions. There is an extension one at the end and the opportunity for discussion about whether there are many answers etc. I have left some blank ones for students to make up their own.
