I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

I (when I say "I", I really mean "students") needed some practise on tally/frequency tables and this is what I came up with. There are three tables to complete: firstly a simple tally/frequency, secondly the students must fill in the categories and thirdly a grouped frequency table (on the other side of the worksheet as a mini extension). Simple but got the job done.
This is nothing fancy whatsoever, just 5 sets of data to calculate the mean, median, mode and range from. There are two context questions and finally one frequency table to calculate averages from.
These are all available individually for free but are available as one big bunch here. The concept is to choose the correct order to cut the wires by answering the questions correctly - each wire is linked to a question. Not all the wires need cutting to prevent guessing at the end. I use these as starters, plenaries (prove you can do the work tasks) and quick homeworks!
There are four spiders (the last one has lost a couple of legs, I realise that!) of increasing difficulty. Fill in the blanks by using skills of adding and subtracting fractions. The final "spider" is a discussion one with many answers and the chance for students to fully demonstrate their understanding.
This allows students to use their knowledge of y=mx+c. There are five different spiders of increasing difficulty ranging from being given the gradient and y-int then forming the equation, to being given one of those pieces of information and a point on the line to being given two points on the line. Discussion could arise over how to write the equations.
Scooby and the gang are pursuing various ghosts/monsters on different curves but health and safety have visited Mystery Incorporated and told them the gradients that are safe to drive/slide along. Can you help Velma, Daphne, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby with these curvy conundrums?
A really lame joke (more lame than usual if you can get your head around that) but some reasonably straight forward vectors practise. It could be used to as a starter or plenary and students could design their own routes.
This is a powerpoint covering Pythagoras and trigonometry in 2D and 3D, then moving on to the sine and cosine rules. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.
Four "spiders" to help students become comfortable with algebra and manipulating expressions. There is an extension one at the end and the opportunity for discussion about whether there are many answers etc. I have left some blank ones for students to make up their own.
