This is designed to help students through the thought process of where a graph will be given its equation. I have given options as to shape and asked where the graph will intersect with the axes. It involves linear, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal and exponential graphs as well as a couple of challenge ones at the end.

Pick a letter that forms the shape described and find the punchline.

Working forwards, backwards, repeated percentage change etc using multipliers. It does what it says on the tin.

The title rather give the game away here; answer he questions, reveal the punchline to the joke. I like this joke!

Find the missing values, and the missing words in the comparisons regarding median and interquartile range.

Answer the questions, reveal the punchline to a joke. The graphs are both linear and non-linear.

Find which letter is positioned at the midpoint of the two coordinates given, unjumble the letters and reveal the punchline to a joke.

I was asked to cover “An Introduction To Reciprocal Graphs” for an interview lesson; it went quite well so I thought I’d share it. The PowerPoint takes you through it and the worksheets are obviously for the students. Enjoy!

Three questionnaires to correct and design hopefully covering the majority of things that can go wrong. This has no "bells" or "whistles" but just asks the questions I want it to.

Fractions n different contexts including angles, formulae, equations, averages, sets/Venn diagrams and more. Three slides each with four questions of increasing difficulty…

Two sets of questions, one on calculating sides, one on calculating angles, where parts have been missed out. This encourages students to work forwards and backwards and not get into “algorithm mode” and hopefully helps deepen understanding (that’s the plan anyway).

Solve the clues to discover the murderer by deciphering the codes: there's Caesar Cipher, Pigpen Cipher, Solving Equations, Number Problems and Transformations. It designed so that you can put your own class' names in for the suspects, but "Number 5" is always the culprit.

The usual thing involving grouped frequency tables as well as frequency tables, working forwards and backwards.

Just a quick homework, starter or plenary which gives a punchline to a lame joke.

Find where the images of the coordinates are following a transformation, reveal the joke and then (possibly) laugh.

A fairly basic set of tasks plus a picture of who scientists say has a 'perfect face'. A couple of tougher reflections of snowflakes at the end, plus a dodgy picture of me (early in the morning)! Feel free to delete the final picture or replace with one of you.

Either sketch, figure out the equation, state intersections with axes or state maxima/minima of these trigonometric functions or a combination. There are 10 of increasing difficulty and hopefully discussions in class will be forthcoming…

I was asked to come up with some Olympic themed lessons so came up with four, each getting increasingly difficult. One was on drawing statistical graphs based upon medals tables, one on a race track (basically area and perimeter), one on speed and one on parabolas. Tuck in if you think they will be of any use.

Using the 'Chart of the Day' page (linked) I have set some questions on real life data. I'm sure you could all come up with better questions, but hopefully this will give you a start.
