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.

This extends the partial fraction theory into repeated linear terms. Full powerpoint demo and fully differentiated resource for students to write on. Answers included.

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.

Five assessments that I use to help prepare foundation students (or younger students) for end of year assessments. Based on old GCSE foundation papers the assessments cover all of the content of the GCSE (around 20 questions in each). They are printed on 8 sheets of A4 which I copy onto an A5 booklet, hence using only 2 sheets of paper and saving a lot of paper. Great for use at extra sessions, as homeworks, as class revision, or for filler lessons for absent staff. I have included a powerpoint of the first assessment so you can see what they look like.

Two homework books which can be printed off as a A5 booklet on a single sheet of A4 paper to test the foundation knowledge of your students. The powerpoint in the preview is the actual first booklet. The questions are things that students need to know. Can be used as a revision aid or at extra sessions in school.

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

Whole lesson to low ability students on division in a ratio. The powerpoint contains several ways of teaching the topic but the resource that accompanies it goes with the traditional ADAM method (add, divide and multiply). The resource is fully differentiated and provides a lot of support with no context at 1 star, going through to fully contextualised questions with no support at 3 star. There is a multi choice homework that accompanies the lesson also.

10 questions (with the answers at the end) that will get foundation students warmed up. True or False so everybody can get involved and classic statements such as "45 degrees is an obtuse angle", "a triangle with no sides the same is called isosceles" and "7% is the same as the decimal 0.7"

Complete lesson which builds upon the introduction. Students will be shown how to use their expressions for the derivative function to find stationary points, name tangents and normals. The resource is fully differentiated, contains an exam question and a challenge. Answers are included.

This is a write-on resource which can be used in multiple ways: as a classwork task, homework task, weekly assessment or revision aid in the run up to assessments. There are 18 quick, "must know" questions for low ability foundation GCSE students of any age. There is a section at the foot of the resource for a score and a comment which students can act upon. Using multiple resources will build up a profile of which topics students need to review to enhance their learning. The sheet can be edited to give an infinite number of variations too. Check out the other grids in the series to build a bank of resources! A low ability GCSE class will take around 25 minutes to complete a grid. The powerpoint on the review is to show you what it will look like when printed.

18 random bingo cards with one guarateed winner. Play the powerpoint (which has two levels with answers that are common) and keep a note of which ratios have been given. These are simple, unit free ratios that involve dividing both numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5 10, 100. Great way to finish a lesson on simplification of ratio

This is a flexible lesson on the interior angle sum of an n-gon. The starter is a simple multi choice on estimation of angle size which will help warm the class up. The powerpoint contains both classic ways of teaching this subject: the first few slides come at this from the formula exterior angle = 360 divided by the number of sides when the polygon is regular. The latter slides approach it in a more traditional experimental manner of splitting the polygon into n- 2 triangles. How you deliver the lesson is therefore up to you! The spreadsheet contains multiple activities, most of them differentiated and a print out of a table of facts that students can stick in their books. Most of the resources are write on also so there is no need for students to draw a thing. This should be all you need to tackle this topic

An entire lesson that gets students to appreciate the different types of angle and estimate their size. The starter is a simple (differentiated) number chain. The power point is fully animated to show how an angle spins around from 0 degrees, passing the key benchmarks of 90, 180 and 270. Students can then estimate the angle. The fully differentiated resource that accompanies this lesson mirrors the board and gives students plenty of support. As this is an activity some students will fly through I have included some bonus differentiated number practise as this will primarily be aimed at foundatio GCSE students who always need the practise!

An entire lesson that introduces students to this vital integration technique. It is approached via an easy way of remembering how to split the integral (the way I myself was taught it many years ago). The resources that accompanies the lesson is differentiated on two levels and takes students through basic examples. There are no answers as students are encouraged to check their own answers. There is an exam question and a challenge question

One of the topics students find most challenging. The fully animated powerpoint (which contains a 5 minute starte) takes students through the basic transformations of the curve y = f(x). There is a slide which summarises the findings of the lesson and the resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated where students skecth various transformations of given curves and write the names of transformed curves. The resource is write on and students can file their completed work. This lesson can also be used at KS4.

This is the second interim assessment which can be given to any class embarking on the new a level spec from 2017 with the Edexcel board. It covers the topics of surds, completing the square and its uses, sketching quadratic curves, linear and quadratic inequalities, algebraic division, factor theorem and sketching a straight line. The assessment itself will last an hour and there is a follow up lesson where students can tackle similar questions. The powerpoint acts as a marck scheme and can be used to assess the piece of work. It can also be played during the feedback lesson to model correct answers for students. Printing it will give students a chance to have a model solution pack to their assessment.

A lesson to introduce negative number and where they arise. The starter is a differentiated student choice mental addition and subtraction exercise where students must work out the missing number in a chain that gives a certain total. The answers are shown on this. The main powerpoint shows an animated use of a number line as a thermometer but also as a height indicator and as profit and loss. The spreadsheet contains multiple resources which you can chose, many of which are differentiated and all of which are write-on so that students do not have to spend tim drawing things

More theoretical approach to conditional probability. Use of the formulae and axioms. Full animated demo. Fully differentiated resource for students to complete. Full solutions.

Complete lesson to show foundation students how to calculate 0.2 x 0.05 mentally. The powerpoint shows the method of counting decimal places in the questions and then making sure that the answer contains the same number of dp. The fully differentiated write-on resource goes from 1 to 4 star and students can select their own level. Answers not included
