Expanding a single bracket, linked to area of rectangles, compound shapes, and cuboid surface area. A bit rough and ready being hand drawn on the ipad but some good questions in it nevertheless.

Interpreting tolerance as a numberline and reversing the process (ie writing tolerance from upper and lower bounds)

A task which involves generating scatterplots and correlation coefficients using nutritional information from a McDonalds menu. Worksheet and csv dataset. Points of interest: Menu is from America leading to a discussion about how useful is it for use in UK High number of breakfast items and low number of burgers doesn’t reflect common perception of McD’s menu Sodium (ie salt) and calories have a strong correlation but this is a spurious relationship (salt has no calories) with portion size being a possible confounding variable

A handful of questions based on the National Insurance rates given in the 2024 data booklet.

There is no guarantee these are the questions that will be asked. The purpose of this task is to get pupils used to reading the data booklet and thinking about the information presented. Credit to “@clellandmaths” for the csv file. EDIT: Note there is a wee typo in the spreadsheet (“CO2” heading in the table should read “mass (g)”).

Pre-requisit for quadratic factorising - considering the sum and product of two terms. This task looks at integers and algebraic terms (with some extension into factorising). It’s in three levels - it’s designed for pupils to pick their own level rather than working through all the sections.

Working with mixed number in the context if 2d and 3d shape. Some problems involve finding missing dimensions. Hand drawn worksheet but some decent questions in it so who cares about looks?

Some belters of factorising questions from an old book from 1939.

Some linear equations to solve when using algebra tiles. The challenge when using tiles is the numbers getting too big and running out of tiles. These questions keep the numbers deliberately small to minimise the amount of tiles each pupil requires. Most of these are solvable with a maximum of 8 “x” tiles and 10 “1” tiles. The solutions should all be integers. I didn’t issue the sheet but used it as teacher notes and displayed the “your turn” on the white board when pupils were working independently. I used the excellent MathsBot website to demonstrate on the white board: https://mathsbot.com/manipulatives/tiles

Grid multiplication of: 2-by-1 digits 2-by-2 digits 2-by-3 digits 3-by-3 digits Each section offers support in the form of predrawn grids. Level of support lessens with each grid. Pairs of questions have the same answer as a way for pupils to self check their work. These answers also offer the opportunity for discussing the effect of “double one, half the other”.

Smartboard files for use on an interactive whiteboard. PDF versions of the same file for printing as booklets and issuing to pupils. Notes contain examples for teachers to go over on the board and some tasks for pupils to do. Questions and examples have been sourced from various resources so make sure you're not issuing the same task twice! At the end of these there are also revision questions and a checklist for pupils to "traffic light" their learning. DISCLAIMER: There are most likely errors in here as I'm bad at proof reading my materials so read and check over before using!

A selection of problems look at combining probabilities by listing outcomes in a table or with tree diagrams. First questions are independent events, final two need more care (ie event 1 impacts event 2). Editable word doc and pdf.

Eight triangles to match up with the appropriate trig rule and answer. Triangles repeatedly use the same numbers to keep students on their toes. There are three extra sets of workings which pupils can create their own triangles for. Worksheet and answers as pdf and editable word.

Some quick, hand drawn questions finding the surface area of “imperfect” cuboids (with holes in them or missing faces) and compound shapes. Numbers have been kept deliberately small to avoid pupils getting bogged down in number work, allowing them to focus on the actual shapes.

Some pie chart construction questions. All the angles should work out as whole numbers but the data has not been presented as a frequency table as it tends to be in all the worksheets I’ve found on-line. Pupils either have to construct a frequency table themselves or convert from a bar graph. Not exactly the most difficult but a bit of a change from how these are normally presented. Some of these questions have been adapted from various tasks on the CorbettMaths website. Uploaded as a pdf and editable Word doc. Answers may be uploaded at a future date. Maybe.
