Very nice!
A tricky puzzle, to really get pupils thinking. Great as a group task. Students have to use geometrical reasoning to find unknown lengths and work out the area of various triangles and quadrilaterals.

Clive has three homework tasks on perimeter, area and volume, each getting increasingly difficult. As usual his answers are riddled with mistakes and it’s down to you to correct them, explaining where he’s gone wrong. These are intended to encourage discussion between students.
I have corrected the error on sheet 2 mentioned in the comments - thank you!

Brilliant resource to encourage discussion amongst students. Sheet 2, question 2, I believe Clive was actually correct. I didn't notice it before I gave the work, but it created deeper discussions between the students. Just be aware if projecting the answers.

Last of the series ... maybe Clumsy Clive, but it is certainly AMAZING ALUTWYCHE. Thank you so much for all your amazing efforts in sharing.
In this activity you have to mark the answers provided by two different students, correcting any mistakes as you go. Let me know what you think.

A great resource, thank you :)
3 Lessons of Powerpoints and Worksheets covering the areas of Rectangles, Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums. The pupils have to find areas of different colours on national flags which are all the above area, and also using other mathematical topics. You will need to write on the powerpoints quite a bit on the starters, plenaries and examples! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
Thank you to @1hannahjones for making a number of corrections and clarifications!
See here an extra lesson for circles! /teaching-resource/areas-of-flags-with-circles-11164206

The Cuban Flag is wrong. As seen on this construction sheet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Cuba#/media/File:Flag_of_Cuba_(construction_sheet).svg On your worksheet the cuban flag is 22:15 it should be 2:1

A nice set of trapezium questions which would be useful as GCSE revision as well as at KS3. Do you have any more of these? More sets of these would be ideal to print out, laminate and keep hold of.
