A 22 slide PowerPoint showing some really important maths concepts in concrete form and which pupils should be aware of. Cuisenaire rods are the main focus but enhanced with the counting stick to produce a powerful arsenal for additive reasoning.
It covers equivalence, inequalities, decimals, factors, primes, composites, fractions, squares and algebra.
There is at least a weeks material for all ages at primary school and applicable to secondary students who have gaps in their understanding. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use.
The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via extensive use of animation. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal.
75 Bar model questions and answers for GCSE thinking. The questions are from week 2 to 4 Barvember 2020.
Each day, there are 2 accessible questions, another 2 that requires more thought and a final challenging question.
All sorts of mathematical contexts are used. The solutions are efficient and designed to a minimum number of steps.
Week 1 from 2020 can be freely downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12881886
An 11 slide PowerPoint that uses Couch to 5K as a context for thinking about time, distance and speed.
The cards and tables of each C25K session are useful to initiate class conversations about components of speed and how to go about getting fitter.
Ratio and percentages can also be explored using this context.
The correct answers are included and there is a spreadsheet containing the constructed charts which can be edited.

The findings of this 78 page research suggest that the age-effect plays a role in enrolment with older students more likely to access grammar schools and that the effect has a bearing on outcomes for GCSE English in both sectors and GCSE Mathematics in non-selective schools.
A 22 slide PowerPoint that situates charts/graphs in the data handling cycle.
It covers collecting, presenting, sorting and analysing data along with bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, decision tree diagrams, two-way tables, flow charts, Venn diagrams, stem & leaf diagrams and scatter graphs.
There is at least a weeks material for GCSE lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an overview of the concepts involved. So, far instance, much greater depth would be required for averages. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use.
