Making Maths Memorable

Average Rating4.29
(based on 53 reviews)

Ever since my PGCE I have been convinced that every Maths topic has a unique and interesting way to be taught. 7 years later and I have collected and created 100s of resources to prove my point. All resources, including IB and A Level, are designed to be thoroughly engaging but yet cover every bit of content required with plenty of practise too. Teach LCM with the life of the Cicada bugs or teach proportions using celebrity faces and the golden ratio. All fully animated engaging powerpoints.

Half lesson, one sheet test on Indices and surds

Half lesson, one sheet test on Indices and surds

(1)
I have written a number of mini tests to fit perfectly on to one sheet of A4 (I actually print them 2 to a page so A5!). These tests can be completed and peer marked in the same lesson and will be reused by you many many times over the years. Really easy to mark due to the layout of the test paper and the markschemes included. This tests all types of Indices and Surds questions that can be found in the GCSE. Ideal for finishing the Laws of Indices and Surds chapter. I use it for a pretest before the official chapter test.

All the resources required to teach everything on sequences in the GCSE. Includes nth terms, patterns, Linear sequences and Quadratic sequences.
Discovering functions and their graphs
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Discovering functions and their graphs

(0)
A worksheet that students use alongside a graphing resource (not included - I use desmos.com) to find out for themselves how the different equations make different lines and how changing various coefficients affects the line. A Powerpoint to flick through at the end with a fun "Simon says" plenary should round off the learning.

Drawing pictures using functions on Desmos.com

(0)
This is a fun lesson for the very able. After teaching functions and their graphs and transformations of graphs this lesson guides students in using this knowledge to draw graphical pictures. The worksheet teaches the student step by step by guiding them to draw a house with a chimney. That takes the first 20-30 minutes at which point students are directed to drawing their own.

iGCSE maths revision of A* material Marketplace

(0)
Two lessons worth. 12 A* questions that are worth around 7 marks each. I use 6 in a lesson where I place one on each table and students get 5-10 minutes (you decide!) before moving onto the next table. The powerpoint shows step by step method and solutions for each question.
GCSE higher level revision hunt (B - A*)
bdsouza1bdsouza1

GCSE higher level revision hunt (B - A*)

(0)
A very unique treasure hunt. Instructions for use: Students start on any question. Write down letters to answers as they go along (NOT the question they started on!) The collection of letters make a word but not in order. They can use an online unscrambler to find the word. They stop when a question sends them back to a letter they already have. It is the longest possible word where no letters repeat.
Boxplots and Cumulative Frequency
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Boxplots and Cumulative Frequency

(0)
Enough for two lessons. Teaches how to calculate quartiles and the interquartile range to create box plots first. Then goes through two full examples for cumulative frequency diagrams (to be used with worksheet provided) followed by 4 practice questions with answers. Teacher could use this resource to teach the topic without any understanding of Cumulative Frequency.
Set Theory and Venn Diagrams
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Set Theory and Venn Diagrams

(0)
Everything required to teach set theory for the iGCSE. Includes worksheets that run along side the PowerPoint. The homework worksheet with answers can also be used as a mini assessment.
Catchphrase with Maths questions
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Catchphrase with Maths questions

(0)
Students take it in turns answering questions to reveal the picture behind. First to guess the catchphrase wins. A variety of topics already created but very easy to add your own.
Question grid fun starter
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Question grid fun starter

(0)
Students throw a soft toy at the board (I use a toy angry bird). Teacher clicks the number that the student hit to reveal a question. If it is a yellow question students get a merit. Works best with smart boards as questions will reveal themselves when hit by the soft toy.
Probability all GCSE
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Probability all GCSE

(0)
Everything required to teach probability for the GCSE. Several lessons worth covering basic probability, sample space diagrams, experimental probability and tree diagrams. Lots of fun probability games and ideas included.
Simultaneous Equations
bdsouza1bdsouza1

Simultaneous Equations

(0)
At least 3 lessons worth of content here. Starts by teaching the elimination method followed by worded exam style questions. Then teaches the substitution method and solving by plotting the two equations. Last lesson on the A and A* questions solving quadratic simultaneous equations.
