This pack contains three different activities to give students plenty of practice at calculating with negative numbers. 1. Adding & Subtracting Negative Numbers Mystery Grids Students have to solve clues involving adding and subtracting negative numbers to work out the missing numbers in the grid. For example, the numbers in the top row add up to -10. Includes 3 levels of difficulty. 2. Multiplying and Dividing Negative Numbers Mystery Grids As above, 3 puzzles involving multiplying and dividing negatives. 3. All 4 Operations: Puzzles Students must work out where the missing numbers go in these puzzles to make the calculations true.

This pack contains three activities designed to support GCSE students in plotting and interpreting reciprocal and exponential graphs. It includes: 1. Drawing & Understanding Reciprocal & Exponential Graphs This contains worksheets where students must work out the co-ordinates for a series of exponential and reciprocal functions and plot their associated graphs, in order to see the shape made. Following on from this is a set of questions designed to probe understanding and get students thinking about where the functions are defined and the co-ordinates they will pass through. 2. Asymptotes To help students understand the shape of reciprocal and exponential graphs, this set of PPT slides is designed to give students a chance to understand why and where asymptotes will occur. 3. Graphs Match This activity is designed to be used when students have studied a range of graphs, including reciprocal and exponential functions. It contains graphs of quadratic, cubic, circle, linear, reciprocal and exponential graphs that students must match to their equations.

This pack contains three worksheets related to the new GCSE objective on systematic listing and counting strategies. Worksheet 1: Systematic Listing Aimed at Foundation Tier students, but also good practice for higher, a set of problems based on systematically listing all the possible options in different situations. Worksheet 2: Product Rule (Multiple Groups) This sheet requires students to use the product rule in situations where they need to work out the total number of options from several different groups. Worksheet 3: Product Rule (Single Group) This activity is a further set of product rule questions, but slightly more challenging as it includes questions where students must select items from the same group. (For example, the number of ways of selecting two boys from a group of 8). Answers are included for all three worksheets.

This pack contains a variety of activities to support students working on the area of triangles and compound shapes. It includes: 1. Area of Triangles Worksheet Pack This includes three different activities. In the first task, the triangles are drawn on squared paper and progress from simple right angled triangles that can be visualised as half of a rectangle, to triangles that need to be broken into two right angled triangles. The second activity, Match Three! follows on from this, where students must work out the area of triangles drawn on squared paper to match triangles with the same area. Finally, there is a final worksheet where students will need to think creatively to work out the area of the triangles, by, in some cases, drawing rectangles around them and subtracting triangles. 2. Triangles: Biggest Area? This activity requires students to measure the side lengths of a set of triangles and determine, in each row, which is largest. 3. Area of Compound Shapes This jumbled answers activity requires students to break shapes down into rectangles and triangles in order to calculate their areas. 4. Area of Compound Shapes Magic Square This activity is for students who have mastered the basics of triangles and includes a variety of compound shapes where students must use the dimensions given to work out areas. The activity also includes one trapezium. Answers are included for all activities.

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.

This pack is designed to help students develop an understanding of equivalent fractions and to give them multiple opportunities to practise. It contains: 1. Introducing Greedy Monkey A set of PPT slides and follow up worksheets that tell the story of a greedy monkey who wants to eat 5/6 of three different cakes. The first cake has been cut into six pieces, so it's easy. But what if the cake has already been cut into 12 pieces, or more? How many should monkey eat so that she ends up eating 5/6 of the cake? The idea is to develop the understanding that she would need to eat twice as many pieces of cake, because each piece is half as big, and then to generalise this to other denominators. 2. Follow on Activities: Matching Activity, Maze & Dominoes Three activities that could be used to give practise in a lesson, or for homework. Students must match equivalent fractions into groups of 3, find their way through a maze by shading equivalent fractions and pair up a set of dominoes. 3. Exit Slips Quick exit slips that could be given out at the end of lesson to check on understanding.

This pack contains four different activities to help students who need to work on the order of operations. Including: 1. Bidmas Code Breaker A code-breaking activity where students have to calculate using the correct order of operations to spell out a secret message! 2. Bidmas Matching Activity A self checking activity where students can find the answers to their calculations jumbled up at the bottom of the sheet. 3. Bidmas Maze Students need to find their way through a maze by deciding which statements are true and false by considering the order of operations. 4. Bidmas Puzzles These puzzles require students to find the missing numbers in a set of calculations.
