Missing angles (codebreaker)

(1)
Use the diagrams to work out the code for each card. Work out which is the odd one out. They are all in London but 'Paddington' isn't on a Monopoly board Can be used as a class with pupils changing their card when they have finished or as a set of worksheets.
Volume of pyramids and cones (self marking)

Volume of pyramids and cones (self marking)

(1)
pictures of various cones and pyramids, calculate the volume. The answers are at the bottom along with some red herrings. If you assign the letters to each question then is spells out "one third of the prism" backwards A couple of errors have now been corrected. The original still works but two answers were missing, I will leave it here as that in itself can be a challenge for the group if they know ahead of time.

Pythagorean Triples (Codebreaker)

(3)
Calculate the missing sides using Pythagoras then use the information to crack the code. pythagoras theorem is used in many real life situations especially in the construction and engineering professions where the accurate construction of a right angle is needed such as in the building of structures or the calculating of non traversable distances.

Angles and parallel lines (codebreaker)

(1)
Solve the questions involving parallel lines to find what number goes with what letter then decode the acrostic to reveal the following message: "the final mission tothe moon was apollo seventeen commanded by gene cernan with ron evans there was also a geologist by the name of jack schmitt the mission lasted twelve and a half days with the orbiter challenger docking with lunar module america aftersix days and three and a half hours"

coordinates four quadrant (codebreaker)

(1)
A simple activity to practice coordinates in four quadrants. Each coordinate gives a letter that in turn spells a word. What is the season connected with each of these words. Use as a starter activity, a worksheet to consolidate learning or a homework that marks itself.

(2)
Can you pair up the cards so the question and simplified versions are together. There is a second version where the last column is blank for them to fill in.
Simultaneous Equations (Codebreaker)

Simultaneous Equations (Codebreaker)

(1)
Solve the simultaneous equations, all positive answer, then use that information to break the code on the acrostic sheet. "During the Second World War Alan Turing worked for the Government code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park Britains codebreaking centre where he was head of hut eight the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis He devised the bombe a machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine"

Plotting quadratics graphs (matching activity)

(3)
Two sheets with both factorised and unfactorised quadratics. The first sheet matches up with the second demonstrating they are the same expression as the graphs are the same. Work in pairs, match the graphs and observe what you see about both your results.

Simple percentages (powerpoint quiz)

(2)
Ask members of the group to come to board and tap the correct answer, it will not move on until the correct answer is tapped but will indicate if that given answer is incorrect. I have used it a few times so I hope all works properly. Please tell me if there is an error. I have found an error, there are two 90s, I will get this fixed.
