WITH CORRECTIONS! The notorious terrorist ‘The Mathematician’ has left a clue to defusing the bomb he’s just planted. Answer the questions and cu the coloured wire in the correct order. This goes from purely Pythagoras, through Pythagoras and Trigonometry up to Trigonometry in non-right angled triangles.

Using the characters from Prison Break Season 1 (trailer is included) you have to narrow down the search area for the authorities. Maps are provided. There are seven to catch.

This covers angles on a line, in a triangle, in a quadrilateral and parallel lines both diagrams and worded. Angles in polygons is covered on another one. The joke had to be edited to fit but still as cheesy as one would hope.

This help William 'Billy' Black calculate how much grease-proof paper he needs plus how much each cake tine can hold. The shapes go from cuboids to a cylinder to a hemisphere to a frustum, so you can start and finish where you like.

This can be used either as a numeracy resource in registration or in maths classes. It's various maths questions linked to a number wall (it's an advent calendar for crying out loud!). It covers lots of different topics in number, algebra, shape & space and data and gets progressively more difficult as you go on. The date should now update automatically! Typos corrected too.

I got this idea from Tristan Jones @tris206 who had similar thing which I liked on TES, so I produced my own. I have purposely used a quite obscure joke so that it can't be guessed! The transformations involved are reflection, rotation and translation. For those who downloaded it very quickly, there's a second one!

Two corny jokes to unveil. Sheet one is purely rectangles, squares and triangles; sheet two involves parallelograms, trapeziums and circles.

Four of Clive’s “homework” sheets to correct and explain where he’s gone wrong. There are four to complete: a “basic” one, one on parallel lines, one on polygons and finally one on circle theorems. The basic and parallel lines ones have 5 questions to correct; the other two have 4 questions to look at. These are designed to encourage discussion between students and then to share that discussion with the teacher as there’s not always one way to correct a question. I introduced these before the holidays and they went very well.

Two trigonometry codebreakers that both involve a terrible joke. The first one is with right-angled triangles, the second requires the sine rule, cosine rule and area of a triangle using trigonometry.

Clive has two homeworks to tackle but is making mistakes once again. The first homework involves right-angled triangles, the second a question in 3D and non-right-angled triangles. Spot the mistakes, correct them and then explain what Clive needs to do in the future.

The two bands are comparing notes with regards being in a band in different eras. The 1D boys work in metric, The Stones in imperial. Can you convert units between metric and imperial (and vice versa) for each band?

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.

Find out who stole the satsuma from my stocking by solving all the clues (it will always be person 14 by the way). I have left the suspect sheet blank so that you can enter the names you wish; I've used classes, colleagues, celebrities when I've done similar things. Each clue eliminates half of the remaining suspects and should take around an hour depending whether you let them use a calculator or not.

A student asked me to do a resource involving Harry Potter; we are doing unit conversion soon so this is what occurred. There are two tasks, one converting metric units (including a challenge involving areas and volumes) and a second converting between metric and imperial. I downloaded a font from dafont.com for free so if you want to edit the worksheets (I have included the Word versions so you can do so) you will have to download the font too.

An extremely lame joke but some Pythagoras questions to calculate. Eight questions in total so ideal for a quick homework, plenary or starter; four questions have diagrams and four questions are worded.

Please excuse the pun in the title but I can't believe it&'s not been done before (maybe it has and I&';ve missed it). Various locus related situations for Thor to navigate in order to defeat Loki's recruits.

This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use perimeter, area, Pythagoras, equations of lines, coordinates, vectors, equations of circles, expanding brackets, solving equations as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.

Compound measures including speed, density, population density and pressure. A truly awful joke as normal.

Four trigonometry spiders: the first two involve right-angled triangles (one for finding sides and one for finding angles), the third involves non-right-angled triangles and the fourth involves 3D trigonometry. They should encourage discussion in class as they get more difficult from "12 o'clock" and moving clockwise.

Clive is having a go at some homework regarding speed, density and population density. As usual with these it is a case of spotting Clive's mistakes, correcting then explaining what he has done wrong. They are designed to create discussion points in class.

Clive needs your help again - he's struggling on his upper and lower bounds homwork. Designed to create discussion in class and get students thinking about the question. I have used typical errors in Clive's workings.
