Prime factorisations matching cards

Prime factorisations matching cards

(0)
A card set of values with prime factorisations. A neat use of this is to sort people into partners for another activity; one set of people have the values and one set have the prime factorisations and the people with the corresponding cards have to partner each other.
Line and Rotational Symmetry matching grid.

Line and Rotational Symmetry matching grid.

(0)
A grid in which pupils have to draw shapes that match both the line and rotational symmetry properties. If pupils need more support you can provide them with pictures of shapes to draw; for extension get them to justify why certain spaces cannot be filled.
Using Ratio

Using Ratio

(1)
A small worksheet using ratios of adults to children in childcare scenarios.
Factor Grid challenge

Factor Grid challenge

(1)
Can you complete the 9 squares using each of the numbers from 1 to 9 only once, so that the factors of the pairs of numbers are correct? Comes with one solution - is it the only one?!?
Defining vectors
PayphonePayphone

Defining vectors

(4)
Adapted from an image in Back to Back activities, 2 vectors are defined as a and b and the activity asks how many further vectors can be defined in terms of a and b. The image gives all of the other lines defined as vectors in terms of a and b.
Different listing situations

Different listing situations

(1)
Looking at different real life situations that give rise to listing outcomes, how does the situation effect the probability? Can go as far as multiplicative counting introduction.
Straight line graphs matching cards
PayphonePayphone

Straight line graphs matching cards

(1)
Cards with equations, tables of values and graphs. Pupils have to match the equation with the table and the graph. Create extension/differentiation by deleting some values from the table or some lines and have pupils complete the cards.
Ratio Shuttle Team Challenge
PayphonePayphone

Ratio Shuttle Team Challenge

(1)
A UKMT inspired 'shuttle' style challenge; pupils complete one question at a time and bring it to the front to try and 'unlock' the next question. If they get it right first time they get three points, if not they get 1 point provided they subsequently get it right. They don't get the next question until they get the previous one right. Works best in groups of 3 or 4, be prepared to have kids running!
Drawing an angle example cards
PayphonePayphone

Drawing an angle example cards

(0)
A set of 5 cards, designed to be used cut up and out of order so that pupils have to create the right steps to drawing an angle of 74 degrees. Gives a nice alternative to just drawing angles and can be easily adapted to create multiple questions (I only have 2 on the sheet).
Multiple representations of fractions
PayphonePayphone

Multiple representations of fractions

(1)
A worksheet that shows a bar model, unit area representation, and number line representations of fractions and asks pupils to create groups showing the same fractions. The groups are then given in the image.
Sums and Differences Activity
PayphonePayphone

Sums and Differences Activity

(0)
A game for younger/lower attaining pupils designed to support understanding of basic number operations, particularly addition and subtraction. Requires Cuisenaire rods. First shared at the LaSalle Education Complete Mathematics Conference #Mathsconf9 in Bristol (https://completemaths.com/events) tweet-up.
Vector Hunt

Vector Hunt

(1)
Given a vector picture, can you identify the vectors that either match, or are multiples of, the given vector a? A nice alternative vector introduction, or way of introducing the ideas of scalar multiple (including negative of a vector)
