Basic averages.  Includes a simple example involving a frequency table.
Curve sketching and factorising.  Relates quadratic equations to the underlying graphs.
Enlargements.  Demonstrates centres of enlargement etc. There is an accompanying worksheet.
Factorising quadratics.  An introductory activity building upon expanding brackets and leads into basic factorising. Takes about 20 minutes.
***Graphs of straight lines.  Includes several worked examples. There is an accompanying worksheet.
Mental pyramids.  A starter activity giving some practice with mental arithmetic and basic expressions. Such questions have appeared on Key Stage 3 SAT papers.
Reflections.  A simple activity illustrating basic reflections. Images can be projected onto a normal white board and students invited to the board to draw where they think the reflected image will reside. A simple push of a button reveals the actual image!
Scale drawings and bearings.  Demonstrates the correct use of a protractor in constructing scale diagrams etc. There is an accompanying worksheet.
Sequences.  There are three activities here in which it is intended that students will work in pairs. Each activity is to be scored and the winning pair will then receive a prize!
Simple equations.  Involves 'unknowns on both sides' and utilises weighing scales to demonstrate collecting like terms etc. There is an accompanying worksheet, the complete solutions to which are a part of the presentation.
