A PowerPoint presentation and worksheet looking at converting between metric and imperial units. The examples and questions on worksheet have been created using real Guinness World Records. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
A set of activities and cards designed for AS Core students. The tasks build upon GCSE knowledge in a format of problem more suited to A-Level mathematics. The 'Do' and 'Justify' cards detail tasks for the students to complete whilst the 'Think' cards offer hints & useful ideas to consider.
Quizzes involving 12 quick questions (and answers) covering the basic skills students need to know for their A-Level Core 3 & 4 exams such as trigonometric identities, binomial expansion, differentiation & integration of trigonometric functions & exponentials etc. More on their way . . .
All you need to create a minions-themed display giving your KS4 students helpful tips to prepare them for their GCSE Mathematics exams. Could be adapted to any age group.
Worksheet asking students to write equations of lines given gradients & intercept as well as identify the gradient and intercept given the equation. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
A full lesson revising areas of 2D shapes, including circles and sectors, along with a little percentages too. Suitable for use with KS4 or KS3. Three different levels of lesson to cover all sets - 'red' is the easiest, then 'orange' with the 'green' lesson being the hardest. A good resource for general revision or use on Pi Day.
Loop cards requiring students to estimate calculations by first rounding the numbers involved to 1 significant figure. Could also be used as a treasure hunt around the classroom. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
Functions revision game covering substituting values into functions i.e. f(3), solving functions and substituting into composite functions i.e. fg(4). Can be played in pairs or larger groups. Suitable for KS4 studying the new GCSE.
Card sort activity requiring students to decide whether one set of brackets has been expanded correctly (true) or not (false). Ideal starter or plenary activity.
Probability revision game covering theoretical probabilities, expected outcomes, sample space diagrams and two way tables. Can be played in pairs or larger groups. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
This is a display for a Mathematics classroom or corridor about the 2018 Winter Olympics including various questions for students to consider as they walk by. Photograph included to show how it can be put together.
Nice starter activity asking students to match expressions written using algebraic notation with their description given in words. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
PowerPoint presentation looking at solving one and two step equations. The starter includes a range of questions to be answered on mini whiteboard covering one step equations such as g + 3 = 17. The explanation slides cover solving two step equations such as 5x + 4 = 23. The plenary is a ‘find the mistakes’ activity asking students to find and correct mistakes in a set of solutions to one & two step equations. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
A nice starter for a lesson about using prime numbers - this activity requires students to use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to identify the prime numbers between 1 and 100. Suitable for KS2 and KS3.
This worksheet is designed to help students investigate differentiation from first principles – using the gradients of chords (of ever decreasing length) to approximate the gradient of the curve at a given point.
This is a useful wall display for the start of term. There is a central poster showing the desired format for a page in a maths exercise book (feel free to edit to suit your school's requirements). There are also eight arrows to go around the outside, pointing towards the poster, detailing the key rules for good presentation in maths.
This worksheet leads the students through an investigation into infinite series and their sums. A great starting point for a discussion about the concept of infinity or extension to work on the topic of sequences.
This worksheet is ideal to use when introducing angles on parallel lines - particularly if you’re doing it with a lower ability class. It gives students practice of using alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles to find missing values, asking them to tick the fact they’ve used each time.
