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.

Maths Free Sample: Specifications and Objectives for GCSE Higher Tier, 3 lessons in PowerPoint.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting a 'one star' rating for the paid set of thirty, I thought of this - try these three for free, and if you like them, you can buy the full set, which cost £1.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. Elsewhere on TES I have created twenty seven lessons in all, covering the rest of algebra, geometry and measure for higher tier. There is also another set covering number, ratio, proportion, and statistics and probability, and also three free samples of number. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting a 'one star' rating for the paid set of thirty, I thought of this - try these three for free, and if you like them, you can buy the rest of the set, which cost £1.

Percentages in shopping - reductions

Percentages in shopping - reductions

(0)
A very short worksheet with four examples of price reductions - which one represents the greatest percentage discount? Alternately all on one slide of PowerPoint, plus the solutions on the same Powerpoint. Twenty minute activity, warm up, revision etc. (And I've corrected a mistake on the baguettes question and answer, I hope.)

I actually wrote this for the Teaching Agency numeracy skills test - I'm helping a few people to pass this hurdle, hopefully. However, it has equal application in the classroom for KS3 and KS4. I also used it with Functional Skills, having changed the context to make it more vocational. FS invloves only mean and range, it is good to seperate the different measures in the mind of the learner.
