The United +Kingdom+ is a constitutional monarchy, so resources around the Diamond Jubilee are useful. Time: aligning 60 years' worth of facts in 60 minutes or 60 seconds! Simply colour in 25 years (silver Jubilee), 50 years (Golden Jubilee) and 60 years (Diamond Jubilee). Fractions: colour & discuss the first quarter of HM QE II's reign, the second quarter, or... maybe thirds, or twelfths, or... you get the idea.

How much will your pupils pay *you* to switch over to a Red Nose Day-themed revision sheet/lesson? Charge them what you can and pay it through to Comic Relief! :-)

Video demonstration of planes of symmetry in real shapes: using play dough. Planes of symmetry of cuboid. Planes of symmetry of triangular prism.

Simple exercise. Pupils given rough cooking times for Christmas Turkey; asked to create graph to see if there is a clear relationship and, if there is, to answer a couple of questions.

Explore the poem (you're free to use it if you don&'t derive financial profit from it without sharing that profit with the author!); then invite your pupils to develop their own fractal poems. Maybe another one for triangles. Maybe have them write one using squares. It might be fun to extend the fractal! If you/they can: a proper challenge! :-) P.S. The first verse is explained if you make a hole at the top of triangle, cut out triangle & hang it from thread. It can then be spun (albeit it&';s not lit up!). P.P.S. Table centre-piece for group discussion é building activity also possible!

Help Dr Barnes Wallis's team to position the spotlights on the Lancaster Bombers for the Dambusters' raids led by Commander Guy Gibson. Willing suspension of disbelief required with respect to the numbers (unless you choose to alter them to match researched reality!). Timed for use on the anniversary of the raids (17 May 1943). Roll the theme....

Something inspired by thoughts on sun dials and a once-held belief that the world was flat; possibly a flat disc floating in water. In essence it may provide (at least) a "holding" answer to an old teenage question: "If zero degrees is north (a.k.a. "up" on a 2D map) for bearings questions, why is it east for more advanced trigonometry?". The STEM-Ginger Beer Glass answers a separate (but related) question (or begins to).

Transformations - enlargement Arguably the ultimate 'shrink ray' opportunity and certainly a great opportunity to revise linear enlargement skills in a starter with Gru and Vector.

As ever, if there is doubt as to whether the images/sounds are subject to copyright, the no-profit, educational purposes and no-charge-advertising/no-charge-product-placement arguments apply: it's not about how much teachers should pay so much as it is about how much they should charge.

Place Bearing Point on ground and calibrate to magnetic north using compass/GPS. Pupil stands on Bearing Point with trundle wheel. Giant scale map-making/diagram-drawing begins. Corners/Vertices can be marked using cones. Bearing point can be lifted and replaced with cone at each vertex to aid taking further bearings. £4.50 IKEA Mat: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40239429/ Chalk pen: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pens+chalkérh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apens+chalk [might work with Tippex pen]

Pupils are asked to label a circle with compass directions and angles. The trick is that the circle is already labelled: with months and times [in hours (12 and 24) and minutes]. All jolly confusing... until they stop to process, sort and think! The dice at the edges add potential for an extra question around how to randomly choose a time/angle for something! There is a second circle with weeks, suits of cards, letters of the alphabet and two marathons. More confusion! More thought. Where will your pupils take you with them...

I have simply transformed the work of superb artist angelustenebrae into poster form (A2). Simultaneously beautiful and informative.

A series of links for World Space Week 2020. Designed to spur exploration. The truth is out there…

This is a light hearted starter for a lesson on proportion and chance or simply for a little thinking about proportion and chance before approaching another topic.

Quadratic Linear Equation Inequality

A simple taxonomy activity. It might be upgraded by duplicating the sheet for years from 1937 through to 1945. It is left to colleagues to debate whether the Anschluss and similar events represented an invasion or not; and whether Spain and other countries were truly neutral.

Translations-based code word revelation.

To be used after pupils familiar with use of #Pythagoras’ theorem, properties of #isosceles #triangles and #symmetry and sum of #internal #angles of a triangle. Gentle, steady, step-by-step progress.
