Two relay activities based on angle properties including parallel lines. One of them contains exam style questions aimed at my middle ability year 8 group, the other has more problem solving style questions, mostly taken from the UKMT Challenge that is aimed at my top set year 9's. Pupils (in pairs) are given question 1 to start at the same time, and when they have successfully answered they get the next question to try. First pair to answer all 16 questions correctly wins!

Fun, engaging and easy to use bingo activity to help pupils consolidate their use of the density mass and volume formulae. Recommended for about 10-15 minutes of lesson time after covering the topic in more detail. 30 questions and answers, pupils choose 9 answers at the start and put them in a 3x3 grid before running through the questions.

Three engaging worksheet activity focused on addition and subtraction. Pupils must answer the questions on each sheet and follow the answers to find the correct route through the maze! Ideally suitable for primary or low ability KS3 pupils. Answers are included!

The powerpoint has a table of density, mass and volume values, with one missing from each row. The table is covered up, and on each slide two different squares are revealed and then covered up again. Pupils must concentrate to write down the values that are revealed, and work out the missing ones. The first pupil to complete the table wins.

Simple yet engaging code breaker activity in which pupils solve equations with brackets and write the letter of the equation under the corresponding answer to reveal the hidden message of who stole the school laptops. Message should read "The Thief was Prince Harry!"

Engaging decimal multiplication activity sheet that is ideal as either consolidation for numeracy skills or as cover work. Pupils must answer the questions and shade out the answers in the grid above. When they have finished they should reveal the number 612.

Three great, engaging and easy to use bingo activities on Pythagoras Theorem with different difficulty levels to be targeted at your class. The answers are on the second slide for the pupils to choose at random. The files are in Powerpoint format so they can be used on any system. The first has questions purely on finding the hypotenuse, the second is a mix of finding the hypotenuse and the shorter side and the questions in the third mostly involve different units - for these questions the students are told on each slide what units to put their answer into.

Three treasure hunt activities on addition, subtraction and a mix of the two that engage pupils and add variety to lessons. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards). When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made. Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.

A differentiated worksheet for decimal division using bus stop method. Pupils can choose which section (out of 3) to attempt based on their own confidence. This sheet includes questions on both dividing decimals by whole numbers and dividing by decimals. In the red section the "bus stop" has been set out for the pupils for all except the last four questions. In the amber section pupils need to set it out for themselves, with a worded question at the end. In the green section there are a few standard questions, followed with some worded questions to follow. Answers included.

Engaging activity sheet based on decimal subtraction that is ideal as either consolidation for numeracy skills or as cover work. Pupils must answer the questions and shade out the answers in the grid above. When they have finished they should reveal the number 182

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers. Pupils take it in turns to try and answer a question, and are peer assessed by the other team. If they get it correct they can put their initials over the space, and the goal is to get four squares in a row. The pupils could also used coloured post-its or counters. Answers are included.

Engaging code breaker activity in which pupils work out the decimal multiplication questions for each letter and decode the hidden joke. Answers sheet included. The joke should read "What is a butterfly's favourite subject? Mothematics!"

A collection of three Blockbusters games I made to practice negative number operations with my middle ability year 9 intervention group. One focuses on addition and subtraction, another on multiplication and division, while the last has a mix of all four with some BIDMAS questions thrown in for good measure that can really catch them out if they aren't concentrating! Editable to change the numbers and answers if you want to use it with lower or higher ability pupils.

SMART Notebook (and Powerpoint for non SMART users) for dividing decimals. Starter questions practice division, followed by some examples, a quick checkpoint and a differentiated question slide for dividing decimals by whole numbers and then dividing by decimals. For added variety, I have included my Codebreaker and Silhouette activities.

Worksheet with 12 rotation questions for pupils to complete. The first six have the centre of rotation drawn on the grid, the last six the pupils will have to find them themselves.

WARNING: CURRENTLY MISTAKES IN THIS, WILL BE FIXED ASAP Three engaging cross number worksheets to help pupils practice addition and subtraction skills. Pupils will really enjoy this activity as it can add some interest to a relatively dry topic. Answers included!

Double sided worksheet with 24 straight line graphs for pupils to write down the equation of. ranging from positive gradients to negative, and then fractional gradients. EDIT: I recently did a lesson on this topic with some higher set year 11’s, so have produced a second, harder sheet that includes axes with different scales, forcing pupils to use “change in y/change in x” to find gradient instead of just going one across and counting squares. The new sheet is only one sided, but is more suitable for higher attaining pupils. Answers now included.

Complete lesson plan for written multiplication using grid method. This plan was designed for lower ability pupils so there is some extra scaffolding included that may be deleted for higher attaining pupils. There are differentiated questions in the powerpoint, but I have included a worksheet and codebreaker activity as alternatives for consolidation should you wish to use them. The codebreaker should read “How do you make seven an even number? Take the S out!” when completed.
