Like a treasure hunt! The pupils have a worksheet full of algebra questions they have to answer. When they have answered them they have to find the answers around the classroom/corridor/school and write the corresponding symbol (it’s below the answer) in the next column (that way they can’t guess the words). When they have completed the symbols column then they can decode the message. I’ve put this on the IWB and time the pupils. I also give a prize for coming first, as long as all the answers are correct! I’ve laminated a set (6 cards on each page) so that i can use them again.

A great resource that is ideal as a worksheet or to be used on the IWB. Engaging and suitable for revision for KS3 students. Work out the answers then decode to find the sentence. I struggled to find any fun negative number worksheets so I made one! Good as a reminder or as a plenary.

Tells a story and you have to work out who had which house etc. Like a logic puzzle!

A worksheet introducing Roman Numerals.Other topics covered: Number

Only uses first quadrant so could be used with KS2. Nice bit of fun and reminder about how to plot coordinates.

Simplifying expressions.

Testing plotting in all 4 quadrants, complete the different stages to make a christmas hat wearing classic emoji.

I used it as a plenary but it could be used for a graphical calculator lesson or ICT lesson in investigating graphs.It can be used for Ks4 but alsoas a revision material in Post 16. Powerpoint and worksheet really helpful in lesson planning.
