This pack contains two activities to motivate using a protractor and ruler carefully. 1. Impossible Constructions This activity requires students to try and draw a series of shapes, with the knowledge that at least one of them is impossible! For example, can they construct a triangle with two obtuse angles? Why? Why not? 2. Draw that Space Ship! This activity requires students to try and make an accurate version of a space rocket. They must draw lines and angles accurately in order for the spaceships to turn out correctly. There are two different Space Ships for students to work on, of increasing difficulty! Answers are included.

Enlargement: Worksheet & Activity Pack (Positive, Negative & Fractional Scale Factors) Including: 1. Three worksheets that give students chance to practise using positive, negative and fractional scale factors to enlarge a shape from a point given. 2. Two self-checking activities where students must enlarge by different scale factors to create a mystery picture! 3. Enlargement on a Co-ordinate Plane: A quick practise activity that would make a great homework. Easy to check and covers positive and fractional enlargements from (0,0). Answers are included.

A set of magic squares for students to practise adding negative integers. Includes answers. Need more on negative numbers? We have a set of activities and puzzles here.

In each row, which of these pictures represent the same fraction? Requires students to compare different representations of fractions, including number lines, percentages and shaded pictures. Answers are included. Want more on equivalent fractions? We have a lesson and activity pack here.

Rotation Symmetry: A collection of worksheets and activities on all rotation symmetry topics: Rotation about a central point Describing Rotations (direction, degree & centre) Rotation Symmetry Designs (Great Display Work) x 2 Rotation Symmetry Mystery Picture Order of Rotational Symmetry Designs Order of Rotational Symmetry: Quadrilaterals Rotation Symmetry on a Co-ordinate Grid Answers are included for each worksheet.

A set of problems where students must compare a picture of a cuboid and its net in order to work out missing dimensions and surface areas. Feedback below is very appreciated :) Like this resource? We have activities on the surface area and volume of cones, spheres and pyramids here (£).

A variety of problems starting with counting squares and leading to finding the area of compound shapes. Also includes some missing dimension questions. Need more area activities? We have a set of activities on triangles and compound shapes here.

Students must use the clues and a map to work out where the treasure is hidden in a fictitious town. Involves lots of measuring/drawing bearings. Feedback below is gratefully received :)

Similar Triangles Snap: In this activity there are 14 triangles and students must match them into pairs that are similar. Once they have matched them into pairs of similar triangles, they must then use the fact they are similar to work out the missing sides and angles. Congruent Triangles Snap: As above, there are 14 triangles and students must match them into pairs that are definitely congruent. They must then work out the missing sides and angles. As an extension, pupils could also use the sine and cosine laws to work out the missing sides and angles in the triangles. Answers for this are included.

Transformations Pack: Students must reflect, rotate and translate different shapes to reveal the secret pictures! Pack contains: Translations Mystery Picture Suitable for younger students just learning translations and vectors. Reflections Mystery Pictures 1 & 2 Also suitable for younger students just starting to learn about reflections in a mirror line. The second version uses the co-ordinates axes and the line y = -x as mirror lines. Rotations Mystery Pictures 1 & 2 Students will need to be able to rotate 90 degrees and 180 degrees about a point. Most students will need tracing paper. The first version is on the co-ordinate plane and all rotations are about the origin. Mixed Transformations Pictures 1 & 2 These activities require students to use translations, reflections and rotations. Combined Transformations Pictures 1 & 2 These are the most difficult pictures to complete and require students to do multiple transformations to each object in order to find its place. The second picture takes place on the co-ordinate plane. Answers are included and can be checked at a glance, making it easy for students and teachers to know whether things are on track!

Number Tricks: Writing Algebraic Expressions Activities 1. Matching Activity Students must first match cards into groups of three - a number trick written in words, e.g. "think of a number, double it, add 5...", the result of the number trick, e.g. "always ends in 12" and an algebraic expression for the number trick. 2. Write your own! The second sheet requires students to write and simplify the algebraic expressions for a new set of number tricks. Answers are included for both activities.

Writing and Solving One & Two Step Equations: A Matching Activity Students must match 'I'm thinking of a number' statements to their equivalent written in algebra and their solutions. Answers are included.

A set of jumbled up fractions, decimals and percentages for students to match into groups of three. Mainly simple conversions, with some simplification of fractions required. Students record their answers in a table, so you can check at a glance if they are on the right track. Feedback below is very gratefully received :)

Multiplying Decimals: Using Related Calculations A free worksheet where students must use one given calculation, e.g. 19 x 23 = 437, to work out the answers to related calculations such as 1.9 x 23 = 437. Includes answers.
