I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

I teach 16 plus learners in a thirty or so week programme for GCSE - some retake and some new learners. What I have done here is put the Edexcel Linear A new scheme into the weekly slots, and devided all the criteria/spec statements into Aims and Objectives. I wouldn't expect anyone to follow the same order, or keep my jokes, but please copy slides as you want. Inspectors love to see the aims pasted up, so I use PowerPoint.

Investigations were once a major part of GCSE until coursework was abolished, and one exam board said 'you can now concentrate on teaching&'. But we are in the business of learning, a word which is taking prominence over the word teaching. I've had fun with these over the years, and always keen to share.

Some puzzle and some displays to generate thinking, or just to plaster the walls - get ready for September, or any time. (If anyone would prefer word versions, send me a message and I'll post them up.)

I'm a great believer in letting the learners look for themselves, so along with the formulae books I have lots of posters on display - &'teaching without talking&';, as we say. Mostly Pure, or 'Core&', with a couple of Mechanics, all in pdf.

GCSE style questions on linear equations. If you have trouble with the Word, I hope the pdf has all the images/equations.

Can't say it is an introduction, but it is for post 16 learners, who I throw in at the deep end, or somewhere near it. An assortment of functions, formulas and some simplification, mostly copied from exam papers with a bit of poetic license. Later ones will be more specific in the topics.

Solid shapes come up with reassuring regularity on GCSE papers, yet are often done badly, accoring to examiner's reports. Each time we struggle with a concept I make a net for the learners to cut out and hence aid understanding. The prism is very useful - I get the learners to write down as many questions as they can - volume, surface area, faces, vertices, edges, and so on. It works for us!

A work sheet that utilises a range of formulae from simple shapes to more complex speed/distance/acceleration etc to introduce the concept formulas, the power of generalisation, and being able to intuitively rearrange them. Lots of questions with answers.
