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!

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?!?

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.

A jigsaw for matching horizontal and vertical lines with their equations; can help with reflections if pupils are struggling with lines, or as a pre-cursor to straight line graph equations.

Using an isosceles triangle to form and then solve a simultaneous equation.

An exam style question combining using ratio to find lengths with calculating the area of a compound shape.

Given 5 recurrence relations, which of them produce straight line graphs? Which don't?

An exam style question combining tree diagram probability with ratio.

A collective memory resource designed to help pupils remember the required formulae for the GCSE Mathematics 9-1 exam (or at least some of them). The first slide is designed for Foundation pupils, the second for Higher (as it includes Sine and Cosine Rule).

A 'problem solving' type exam question on circle area broken down for lower attaining pupils or as an introduction to problem solving for KS3.

A past exam question with a problem solving bent on comparing offers broken down into a series of "fill in the gap" sentences designed to aid problem solving.

Shared at the LaSalle Education Complete Mathematics Conference #Mathsconf9 in Bristol for the speed-date/tweet up (https://completemaths.com/events).

Starting with largest (1) and the smallest (0.23) on the same card, these cards form a loop when put in order.

A small worksheet using ratios of adults to children in childcare scenarios.

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).

Calculating mode, median, mean and range of test scores in English and Maths, deciding which average is best to use for comparing the distributions and writing comparisons.

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 factorised quadratics to trace paths for metal cutting.

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.

A practical differentiated resource linking order of operations to compound area. Pupils can work through or be directed to question 1 and 2, or straight to question 3.
