Algebra connect 4

Connect 4 worksheet with solution … this is like my other connect 4s that you will find I’ve written about on the blog or on the “free stuff” page.  The idea being the students have to match questions with answers in the ‘answer grid’ and connect 4 in this grid (not the question 1).

Core 1 A level Top Trumps

Whilst top trumps are probably designed for younger children, I like to use them as a consolidation activity for various topics. Yesterday someone on twitter suggested that I make some for A level so I’ve put the attached together on simultaneous equations, solving inequalities, gradient between two points and also rearranging equations in the form … Read more

Make sure you check in regularly as we are in … Read more

The Maths teacher killed the English teacher

Practised trial and improvement with one of my classes today – with a twist. Using the attached worksheet which I had put together we worked through questions where the range of the solution is given, to ones where there is no range given and also from equations with single value of x to ones including squares and cubes. Trial and Improvement is … Read more
