Linking coordinates and equations of lines/gradients; this, I would say, is the next step on from the other “Gradients and Equations of Lines - Fill In The Blanks”.

Given two points, find the gradient of the line between them and reveal the punchline to a cheesy joke (that is cross-curricular as it involves the German language too).

The usual lame jokes and two codebreakers, number 1 not involving mixed numbers, number 2 involving them.

Find the coordinates described on each function, discover the cheesy joke (given to me by a Year 8 student I teach).

This was designed to lead students into working out how the equation of a line is found, but ultimately it is a fill in the blanks thing.

This is designed as part of an introduction to gradient, essentially involving counting squares, but with one question (at the end) where two coordinates are used.

Answer the currency conversion question reveal a joke; good for starters or plenaries as well as main tasks but also useful due to the fact that they are self-marking so students know that they understand what to do quite quickly.

Calculate then unjumble the letters to find what Santa has left me this year!

This does what it says on the tin: nets of 3D shapes, choose the right one. Answer the questions, reveal the punchline.

Quite wordy questions but the maths is simple - crack the code to find the punchline to my (slightly lame) joke.

I needed something for a class just being introduced to manipulating formulae/algebra so I produced this… The usual: do the maths, reveal the punchline.

This is an attempt to get students to fill out every stage of their rearranging process. There are six relatively basic questions then three more challenge on the reverse of the page (I did this so that I could decide whether they were suitable for certain classes).

Two sections, one for direct and one for inverse proportion; four calculations (one example) to complete the blanks in. This aims to get students thinking forwards and backwards.

Problems involving fractions basically; unjumble the letters to discover the cheesy joke.

This was born out of a conversation in our department; it revises products of prime factors and then uses them to simplify surds. There is a challenge side of this two-sided sheet where the surds are only partially simplified. Typo in answers corrected.

Find where the coordinates would be after the given transformations and reveal the joke (with a mathematical theme!).

Two codebreakers, each with a joke to work out; one is converting from standard form to normal numbers, the other converts back.

This is a poor joke whose punchline that is discovered by solving the probability problems listed. One has a tree diagram drawn and the others could use a tree diagram but ultimately they can be done without.

This was designed to revise plotting linear graphs from an equation before moving on to non-linear (quadratic, cubic, reciprocal and exponential). I have deliberately changed scales to suit each graph/equation so that they aren’t just -5 to 5 on x and y axes, going up in 1s; hopefully this makes the students concentrate and think a bit more!

This is pretty basic describing of transformation on a co-ordinate grid with a few "challenge" questions. It involves reflection (in x and y axes), rotation (centre (0,0), translation and enlargement (centre (0,0)). The "challenge" questions involve reflecting in other lines including y=x, vertical and horizontal; rotation away from the origin and an enlargement away from the origin. I have left it in MS Word so you can edit the challenge questions out.
