A jigsaw exercise for solving linear inequalities.

A match up exercise for linear sequences.

Match up equivalent fractions.

Practise the rules of indices and standard form.

A match up activity testing pupils' knowledge of all three averages and the range.

A harder version of the above activity.

A really nice activity kindly donated by John White where students must arrange the steps required to solve equations in the correct order!

Lots of linear equations of varying difficulty to match up to their answers.

A domino match-up for diving ratios of amounts.

A fairly simple jigsaw simplifying expressions with numbers and one variable.

An exercise in index notation kindly donated by Vikki Sutton.

Pupils must match the description of the polygon to its name.

Match up equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages like dominos.

A jigsaw containing some pretty easy and pretty hard place value questions.

An excellent lesson on the binomial distribution, following the SMP S1 book, kindly donated by Lisa McNulty.

Pupils must match up outcomes with their probabilities.

Earliest recommended Year group: Year 13. Pupils are given different segments of circles and asked to calculate their volumes of revolution. They all have the same volume. This is from the “Something in Common” collection of resources by John Burke. They allow consolidation of key skills, prevent students from copying each other (as all the questions are different), make marking and assessing easy for the teacher (as all the answers are the same!), and provide a lovely extra challenge for students as they try to figure out exactly what is going on!

This is a “Tarsia: Convince Me” activity on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing Unlike standard Tarsia activities, here you only need to print out the solution (included on the PowerPoint), and students must: 1. Find (at least) 5 incorrectly matched up elements, convince you that each one is incorrect explaining the mistake that has been made, and then decide what the answer should have been 2. Replace the ? with the correct answer 3. Come up with a question to replace ?? that could give the answer. A selection of these questions can then be given to other students to use as a rich, challenging, pupil-created homework.

a bingo game which tests students ability to work out co-ordinates given the equation of a line. ive lost the relevant bingo cards, but hopefully will find them soon!

Have a play around with this task, and please share any questions, extensions, simplifications, modifications, or lines of inquiry in the comment box below. The idea is to collect loads of suggestions that can then be used for effective differentiation. The full set of these tasks, along with additional notes, can be found here: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/richtasks.htm
