This is an entire lesson on showing students how to calculate the mean (and mode, median) from a table containing a discrete distribution. The powerpoint shows us why we multiply across the rows by showing the data at the bottom of the screen. The resource is differentiated at 3 levels and can be written on to allow students to easily and quickly complete their work. Answers not included but, as it on a spreadsheet, a simple cell formula can be used to find all summary statistics

Complete lesson which takes students starting the GCSE Higher course through a review of the three averages. Simple calculations are covered as well as reverse problems and “give me three numbers with a mean of…” type problems. Lesson includes a starter activity, the Powerpoint demonstration and the fully differentiated resource which contains notes and space for students to write their answers. No answers given.

Entire lesson on how to order fractions. Powerpoint takes students through how we use equivalence to compare. Fully differentiated, write on resource goes from comparing two fractions with help, to comparing three fractions with some help to finally ordering 4 fractions where the denominators are very different. Answers not included.

Full lesson on introduction to inequalities Powerpoint animated to show what the symbols mean. How we represent them using full and empty circle. Listing integer solutions Fully differentiated resource with three levels of difficulty. Students write on the resource. Students can measure their own progress at end in plenary and ask questions. No answers included

Complete lesson how to find estimates of the mean, median and the modal class of a grouped distribution. There is a starter activity included, the Powerpoint which shows students how to tackle their work and a fully differentiated resource which includes notes and space on which students can write their answers. Plenary section is included on the resource. No solutions given.

Complete lesson on creating and use of a sample space diagram for probability. Fully animated powerpoint shows students why we need them and how they work. Fully differentiated resource allows students to write their answers on the sheet. Three levels with a challenging profit and loss question on the hardest level (level 3). No solutions given. Bonus is an interactive two dice horse race game. This is a macro on an excel sheet and so will need setting up on your computer.

Complete lesson where students will shade the region defined by 2 or more inequalities. Fully animated powerpoint shows students how to complete the work. Full differentiated (3 levels) task sheet complete with blank grids for students to write on. Students get a set of notes at the start of the task and a plenary to complete at the end. No solutions given.

Complete lesson for more able students to show them how to solve linear inequalities and represent their solutions on a number line. Powerpoint fully explains method using traditional “do the same to both sides” approach. It also discusses dividing by negatives and how this can be avoided by adding the x to both sides. Fully differentiated (three levels) write on resource with student notes section and a self-evaluation plenary section. No answers included.

9 documents on one spreadsheet that will give quick revision of all of the basic skills needed at foundation level for students targetting grade 4 or 5. Topics include scatter diagrams, pie charts (draw and interpret), averages and probability. Answers not included. Can be used as revision, homeworks are plenary activities

Multiple lessons and resources to take a KS3/4 class from the very start of simultaneous equations through to more complex examples. I teach it via matching the coefficient of the middle term and then applying different sign add or same sign subtract. The powerpoint takes the students through the phases of the work where, at first the coefficients match. Then students will have to multiply through to enable a match. Finally there is manipulation of both equations required. At least 5 different resources, many of which can be written on and some answers are contained. Homework task is available also.

A classic lesson that introduced students to how to calculate the mean. The resource is fully differentiated and can be written on. It contains standard calculate the mean questions and the reverse questions where students are asked to complete a set of cards whose mean is given. There is a code-breaker exercise included

An entire lesson for students working at grades 1/2/3. There is a starter of 10 multi-choice questions (with answers), a powerpoint which takes students through how to expand brackets of the type a(bx + c), a fully differentiated resource which students can write on. The first level is multi-choice and the other levels are written solutions (note the answers to the questions are not supplied). There is a "check out" which I use as a plenary to assess what learning has taken place.

The final lesson in the series on algebraic simplification gives students a chance to simplify any type of expression under the addition/subtraction/multiplication operators. Students are told when they should be counting like terms and when they should be adjusting powers. The fully differentiated resource goes from one star (easy) which is multi-choice to three star (hard). Answers not included.

The third lesson in a series slowly allowing students to master the simplification of expressions. The powerpoint talks students through what we do when we simplify expressions such as 3a multiplied by 2b. The fully differentiated resource which can be written on starts with one star (easy) which is multi-choice and progresses through more advanced expressions which need simplifying. Answers not included.

Full lesson on Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path in a network. Fully animated powerpoint takes students slowly through the process of labelling the nodes and selecting which nodes will form part of the solution. The lesson resource is fully write-on and will only need printing (answers are included). There is another resource which covers more basic practice questions (with answers given).

An entire lessons devoted to re-visiting the various equations a lower ability foundation student (or younger student) will have to tackle. This goes from one step (x + a = b) through to classic two step (ax + b = c), through brackets (a(bx+c)=d) and finally letters on both sides (ax+b=cx+d). The equations are nearly all positive integer solutions and so can be solved without a calculator. The resource can be written on and is full differentiated from 1 star (lots of support and little variation in the style) to 3 star (simply the equation). I have included another document which is a little more watered down. The powerpoint takes students through how to solve equations by inverse operations. Note there are no answers to the task

Three sets of 12 quick fire questions to help prepare Year 13 students for the Core 4 examination. The grid is printed off and students can answer in the box (if printed on A3 paper). The powerpoint can be shown to give model solutions or used as a mark scheme

The first lesson in Year 13 introduces the concept of conditional probability through use of two-way tables, tree and Venn diagrams. Full demonstration and differentiated resource for students to write on. Answers given.

Lesson 2 in a series of lessons on simplifying expressions. This is a classic scenario where students are asked to find an expression for the perimeter of a shape. The powerpoint walks the students around the shapes and writes out the expression as we go. The fully differentiated resource allows students to write on the sheet (no need for drawing the shapes). One star is very basic with all sides having simple expressions. Two and three star have multi-term expressions on the edges and the rectangles have only the length and breadth shown. Answers not included.

15 minute assessments that can be used as homeworks, assessments in class or revision. Each tests the basic recall in the following number topics: factors, fractions of amounts, percentages of amounts, multiplying by 100/1000, percentage recognition, square numbers, addition, patterns, subtraction, division and multiplication
