Make quadratic-equation revision more engaging with this collaborative, self-checking partner activity.

Students work in pairs using two different sets of questions. Although each partner solves a different quadratic equation, their solutions should match. They compare answers, locate the corresponding card and continue around the clock until they arrive back at the START card.

This bundle includes both a Core Version and a more challenging Advanced Version, making it easy to differentiate between classes or within the same classroom. The advanced activity includes basic quadratics, fractional solutions, common factors, negative leading coefficients and equations that require rearranging before factorising.

Included in the bundle:

• Core and advanced partner activities

• Partner A and Partner B clock mats

• 48 quadratic-equation question cards

• Student working sheets

• Teacher route keys

• Fully worked solutions

• Core and advanced exit tickets

• Teacher instructions and suggested lesson timing

This activity works particularly well as revision before a test, an end-of-topic lesson or a collaborative Friday maths class. Allow approximately one hour, including time to review the more challenging questions and complete the exit ticket.

Students must solve the quadratic equations by factorising.
