The first two resources are 2 different worksheets that can be used to get your class to learn the different types of graph they are expected to be familiar with at GCSE (linear, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal, exponential and square root) and to be able to recognise or sketch them. The first resource gets them to calculate points, plot them and join them up, while the second resource was designed to use Geogebra, but would suit any graphing software. In my experience students need a fair bit of time to complete these so this activity may well fill your entire lesson. The third resource is a worksheet to check their knowledge after completing one of the earlier activities (solutions included).

These 2 resources cover all the required knowledge and techniques for the topic of vectors, as required for AS part of the new A level.

This simple 2-sided worksheet can be used with your class as practice or revision of trigonometry in non right-angled triangles. The answers are included but can be removed if you want to use the sheet as a homework or test. Note that one of the questions involves bearings.

This simple worksheet is a good way to introduce/review angles in parallel lines. It begins with diagrams of corresponding, alternate and allied (supplementary) angles, then there are some examples to work through with your class. On the second page there is a short exercise with similar problems for the class to do themselves. Answers to the exercise are included.

It used to be quite easy to come up with examples to teach/practise trial and improvement, but using iteration is a very different beast and needs some carefully chosen and prepared questions. This worksheet contains a brief introduction/reminder about iterative formulae and their use in sequences, then has one example of using iteration to find a root of an equation, to work through as a class. The following exercise has 7 questions for students to attempt on their own. Answers are included.

This resource was designed to help students learn how graphs with logarithmic scales are connected to models of the form y=ab^x and y=ax^n. The first section focuses on models of the form y=ab^x. There are examples to work through as a class, with axes provided, to establish that if y=ab^x then there is a linear relationship between log(y) and x. There is then a page of examples to practice changing from y=ab^x into the linear equation, and vice versa. The examples conclude with 2 questions where students are given experimental data and required to use a graph to estimate the values of a and b in the model y=ab^x - which is typical of an examination-style question. There is then an exercise with 11 questions for students to complete on their own (again, all axes are provided). The second section focuses on models of the form y=ax^n. There are examples to work through as a class, with axes provided, to establish that if y=ax^n then there is a linear relationship between log(y) and log(x). There is then a page of examples to practice changing from y=ax^n into the linear equation, and vice versa. The examples conclude with 2 questions where students are given experimental data and required to use a graph to estimate the values of a and n in the model y=ax^n - which is typical of an examination-style question. There is then an exercise with 11 questions for students to complete on their own (again, all axes are provided). Answers to all questions in the exercises are included.

This short worksheet can be used to deliver the topic of proof by contradiction in the new A level specification for all exam boards. A useful resource to help deliver this new topic - fully worked solutions are included for all examples and questions in the exercise. It begins with 5 examples to work through with your class (the full proofs are given in the teacher’s version). The examples are carefully chosen so that, for the final example, students have seen the results/techniques they need to prove that the square root of 5 is irrational. Students are expected to be familiar with a proof of the infinity of primes, so on the next page this proof is given in full, together with some numerical examples that should help students understand part of its argument. There is then an exercise with 9 questions for students to attempt themselves (full proofs provided). A homework/test is also included (7 questions), with fully-worked solutions provided.

This worksheet makes it easy to introduce and teach the trapezium rule to your classes. The first page has diagrams to illustrate the method and the derivation of the formula is broken down into steps for you to work through with your class. Projecting all this is so much easier than drawing it out by hand. The trapezium rule formula is then stated at the top of page 2, followed by 3 pages of examples of examination-style questions that test the use of the formula and your students’ understanding (is the answer from the trapezium rule an underestimate or overestimate, can they use their answer to deduce an estimate for a related integral, etc). Answers to all the examples are provided.

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet has examples and an exercise which focuses on reflections but some questions also involve translations. The examples are designed to work through as a class and then the rules for the different reflections can be completed. There are 7 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the transformed graph and stating the equation of a transformed graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers.

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet has examples and an exercise on stretches. The examples are designed to work through as a class and then the rules for the different stretches can be completed. There are 6 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the stretched graph, stating the equation of a stretched graph and stating the new coordinates of a point on the original graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers. Please note this topic is not in the new GCSE spec.

These resources are designed for the new GCSE higher tier. The first worksheet introduces how Venn diagrams work and the notation used for the different sections of the diagram. The second worksheet is to practise using the notation correctly. The powerpoint can be used as a whole class activity to see if they have learned the notation correctly - it contains 11 multiple choice questions, for each they must choose which option is the correct notation for the given Venn diagram. The final 10-page worksheet is a set of exam-style questions. All answers are included.

Three resources to practice finding the equation of quadratic graphs from different types of information. This is a tricky topic and is likely to stretch an able GCSE group. The first resource is intended to be used as examples to work through as a group, the other resources are for additional practice. All solutions are provided. Note that simultaneous equations and solving quadratics by factorising is required prior knowledge.

I found it time-consuming tryingto teach my classes how to resolve forces by drawing diagrams on the board and asking them to copy them down - it seemed to take ages and they didn't get to work through that many examples themselves. So I created this worksheet with ready-made diagrams with all the forces and a blank copy of diagram for students to add on the resolved forces. I no longer dread teaching this skill and my classes get a lot more done in the lesson time. The worksheet starts with an introductory explanation and a worked example. There are then over 20 questions for students to attempt. Fully worked solutions are included.
