The first resource to get me hooked on the Revision Mat was Access Maths's brilliant '100 Questions!' GCSE Crossover page, which I've used with many a Year 10/11 class. Can be found here, near the bottom, below a load of other grade revision resources: www.accessmaths.co.uk/revision-res...

In #MathsToday, I did some Mathematical Gettier Questions with Y8 and Y13. Mathematical Gettier Questions are tasks that explore how incorrect methods sometimes give correct answers. Explained in more detail here: interwovenmaths.com/mathematical... What ideas can you think of for similar tasks?
Simplifying Fractions: Mathematical Gettier Question showing Ellie incorrectly simplifying 12/24 to 1/4 by cancelling the digit 2. Students explain the error, find a fraction where the method works, and test the claim that it works for 49/98.Simplifying Fractions – Sorting: Students sort 12 fractions according to whether Ellie’s digit-cancelling method does not work, partially works, or fully works.Double Angle Formula: Mathematical Gettier Question showing Ramona incorrectly assuming cos 2θ = 2 cos θ, giving 6/5 when cos θ = 3/5. Students find the correct answer, explain why 6/5 is impossible, and determine when her method would work.

In #MathsToday, Year 10 did some some Interwoven Related Calculations and then started on my all-new Algebra Fluency page - answering 1000+ questions between them! interwovenmaths.com/algebra It also gave me lots of data to know where to focus lessons in the Algebra topic we're about to start.
A maths worksheet titled “Task 1.3.3 Adjusted Multiplications”. It begins with “Given that 32 × 45 = 1440” and presents six questions using this fact: calculate 1/32 + 1/45; solve 32x = 1440; find the area of a 32 m by 45 m rectangle; find 32% of £45; share £1440 in the ratio 44:1; and expand 32(45x − 1).

A second section headed “Hence…” gives six related questions with adjusted values: calculate 1/16 + 1/45; solve 32x = 1472; find the area of a 32 m by 4.5 m rectangle; find 33% of £45; share £1395 in the ratio 44:1; and expand 31(45x − 1).A screenshot of https://interwovenmaths.com/algebra question
