All my resources have been created to use with classes I teach. Often I've created resources because, for a particular topic, I haven't been happy with the number/standard of the examples in a textbook. Sometimes I've created worksheets for certain topics (e.g. graph transformations) because I feel my classes will make greater progress on a printed worksheet than trying to work from a textbook. I always aim to produce high-quality resources that improve the students' learning and understanding.

Graph transformations worksheet (reflections)

(0)
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.
Quadratic equations and the discriminant

Quadratic equations and the discriminant

(0)
The presentation shows examples with graphs to help students realise that a quadratic equation can have 0,1 or 2 (real) solutions. The worksheet has an introductory section intended to be worked through as a class to establish the rules about the value of the discriminant and the number of (real) roots. This is followed by 10 questions for students to practise applying what they have learned. Answers are provided.
A "treasure hunt" activity on averages

A "treasure hunt" activity on averages

(0)
Two versions (with/without frequency tables) of a treasure hunt activity for a class to attempt individually or in groups. There are 24 questions, numbered from 1 to 24. Each group chooses a number from 1 to 24 at random (or you can assign them a start number), and this is the number of the first question they should attempt - this should be written in the top-left circle on their answer grid. Their answer to their first question should be a whole number from 1 to 24 - this should be written in the next circle on their grid and this is the number of the next question they should attempt. e.g. if a group starts on Q6 and they think the answer to Q6 is 13 then after Q6 they should attempt Q13 (and they should have 6 -> 13 on their answer grid). If they answer the questions correctly they end up with the same chain of answers as on the solution, if they make a mistake they will repeat an earlier question and at that point you can decide how much help to give them sorting out their error(s). This activity works best if you can stick the 24 questions around a large classroom or sports hall so the groups have to run around to find their next question. All the classes I've done these activities with have loved them.

Intersections of graphs (new A level)

(0)
This worksheet can be used to teach/practise the required knowledge and skills expected at A level for the intersections of graphs. The introduction discusses the different methods that can be used but then focuses on the method of substitution. There are then a few examples to illustrate the method, including questions about the geometrical interpretation of the answers. The final section shows how the discriminant can be used to determine/show the number of points of intersection, with examples to illustrate the method. Fully worked solutions to all examples are provided.

Graph transformations worksheet (stretches)

(0)
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.

Algebraic fractions worksheet

(0)
A worksheet with 30 questions on equations involving algebraic fractions. In each question the equations must be rearranged to reach a quadratic equation. In later questions the quadratic equation must also be solved (using the quadratic formula). A good resource for a demanding higher tier GCSE topic. All answers provided.

Describing the transformation (presentation plus worksheets)

(0)
The powerpoint can be used as a whole class activity to practise spotting which type of transformation has occurred and what information must be given to fully describe it. The printable worksheets make it easier to teach this topic as the questions and solutions can just be projected onto a board or screen to work through or check as a class. This is suitable for the new GCSE spec (includes invariant points). Solutions included.

Solving quadratic equations by completing the square

(0)
Two worksheets to practise solving quadratic equations using completing the square. The first worksheet contains the answers, so is intended to be used as practice in the classroom, while the second worksheet does not include the answers, intended as a homework. Note that the solutions must be given in simplified surd form, so students need to be able to simplify surds. The coefficient of x^2 is always 1 throughout these worksheets.

Worksheet to practise finding the equation of a tangent/normal to a curve

(0)
This worksheet starts with a refresher of the 2 methods to find the equation of a straight line if we know its gradient and a point it passes through. The next section is on finding tangents. There is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 15 questions for students to do themselves. The next section is on finding normals. Again, there is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 10 questions for students to do themselves. All answers to the students questions are included. Note that this resource was designed specifically for the Level 2 Further Maths qualification, so only covers differentiating functions with positive integer powers such as y=5x^3-4x+2, but can still be used an introduction to the general method of finding tangents and normals to a curve.

Calculations with negative numbers

(0)
My year 7 class struggled to learn the rules for doing calculations that involved negative numbers so I created these resources to try to help them understand the rules and to give them lots of practice. The first resource focuses on addition and subtraction, with explanations of how the calculations can be understood with reference to a number line, and then exercises with lots of practice (over 150 questions). The second resource focuses on multiplication and division, with a page dedicated to them just practising determining whether the answer of a calculation should be positive or negative, and then an exercise with lots of practice calculations (over 80 questions). The third resource contains mixed questions with all 4 operations (over 60 questions). Answers to all the questions are included. The final resource is a spreadsheet where pupils can practise calculations and get instant feedback on their accuracy. Note that the spreadsheet contains macros so when opening the file users may need to click on “Enable editing” or “Enable macros” for it to function correctly.

Worksheet on comparing the perimeter/area/volume of two shapes

(0)
In each question the students are given two different shapes and told the relationship between their perimeters/area/volumes. Based on this information they must either work out a length of one of the shapes or express a length of one shape in terms of a length of the other. These can be demanding questions and, in my experience, students struggle with these questions unless they've had a fair bit of practice. This worksheet contains 6 pages of questions and all answers are provided.
