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.

In this PowerPoint are a few questions to get learners to look at percentages from puzzles - the mathematics is not difficult, the learners simply need to consider creative approaches. The questions give everyday examples.

GSCE Maths: Geometry statements revision

I got this idea from Jim Smith and his book 'The Lazy Teacher&'s Handbook&';. I can thoroughly recommend the book as full of ideas for teachers and learners. I took the recently published guidance from Edexcel on what the examiners expect in terms of 'why&' in geometry questions, added some images, and produced a simple slideshow to loop whilst the learners are revising questions themselves.

A very useful formula booklet for GCSE level. A set of 48 posters that can be printed off (just remove the header and footer) but also published as a booklet in the form of a revision guide. I use it for Foundation GCSE, but most of it can be used at any secondary level. I have them printed on A3 and displayed around the room - use them how you like.

Equally they can be used at any level for starters, fillers, or just a bit of fun. (All images are mine, I think, and mostly taken by me.)
