Baking Bad - Season 3 - Solving Equations

Baking Bad - Season 3 - Solving Equations

(3)
William Billy Black needs your help to work out how many cakes to put on each table at the various events he’s catering for. It’s an exercise in forming and solving equations. They get progressively more difficult and my initial thoughts is that I wouldn’t do it all at once but in three parts.

This help William 'Billy' Black calculate how much grease-proof paper he needs plus how much each cake tine can hold. The shapes go from cuboids to a cylinder to a hemisphere to a frustum, so you can start and finish where you like.

Defuse The Bomb - Bidmas

The usual story but with some Bidmas/Bodmas questions. If you’ve not seen these before then the students must answer the questions correctly in order to know the order in which to defuse the bomb.

QR Code Puzzle 11 - Negative Number Calculations

(6)
Answer the questions: if the answer is even, colour in the appropriate square, if it's odd, leave the square blank. The QR code then takes you to Depeche Mode&'s 1989 classic 'Personal Jesus', which has nothing to do with negative numbers (the only song called 'Negative' I could find is Mansun&';s effort, but the video is a bit odd).

I got this idea from DaveGale (thanks by the way!) and the QR Code links to a video of Homer Simpson on YouTube. I used the website www.qrstuff.com to generate the original code then deleted some bits so that the kids needed to answer the questions correctly etc. It gives them a real reason to have their phone out too!

QR Code Puzzle 18 - Probability

If the statement is ture, colour in that numbered square, if false, leave it blank. The QR code links to the title sequence from 'The Littlest Hobo' which is possibly the catchiest theme tune ever.

Defuse The Bomb - Probability

Various probability problems that help you defuse the infamous terrorist The Mathematician’s bomb. All self-explanatory and useful for a plenary or ‘Prove it’ activity.

Music Industry Trends

(5)
From a link on Twitter (thank you @beetlebug1) I put together this as an activity to describe the trends in sales in the music industry. This involves predictions too and should get students to read the pie charts carefully, seeing how statistics are used in a context they are familiar with.

My Biopic - Average and Range

(2)
Using average and range convince me that Steven Spielberg should direct my biopic. This combines a bit of literacy too, but should get them using averages to explain their reasoning.

Enlargement - Explain Your Reasoning

Increasingly difficult questions from D grade up to A grade and with a 'Red, Amber, Green' table to fill in their progress. I've said that it can be used at KS3 as well, because I reckon that they will figure out the tougher stuff. (One mistake now corrected.)

Using the characters from Prison Break Season 1 (trailer is included) you have to narrow down the search area for the authorities. Maps are provided. There are seven to catch.
Sporting Statistics

Sporting Statistics

(1)
I found the 'Research' section on the Sport England website and noticed that their graphs and charts are more aesthetically focused than useful. I therefore came up with this. There's loads of useful stuff on the website (which is hyperlinked in the powerpoint), especially the infographics bit in 'Who Plays Sport?'.
Superheroes and Villains Temperature Conversions

Superheroes and Villains Temperature Conversions

(1)
The labels and thermostats on their new costumes have been mixed up so they need to convert Celcius to Fahrenheit and vice versa to see if the suits will withstand the temperatures they produce. It's simple substitution basically.
