Surds are new to the Foundation part of GCSE maths, so I've made a very clear step-by-step PowerPoint that introduces surds, explains irrational numbers, demonstrates how to simplify surds, and gives examples and practice in applying all four rules of arithmetic using surds. Plus rationalising the denominator and more. Throughout the presentation there are groups of questions on each aspect to apply the skills, all with answers. Learners are now expected to appreciate that a surd gives an exact answer rather than a decimal approximation, and an understanding is essential for the new topics in algebra and trigonometry that are now on Foundation. Plus, it could be a very solid introduction to Higher tier surds.

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 straightforward presentation that provides images, formulas, and then tables to be completed with answers. Covers the subject matter of Functional Skills level two, but the questions on the exams may well be more complex. And useful at almost any stage in the curriculum, for recap, review, just a bit of practise.

A set of cards, to be double sided, with statistical data and assorted good/bad/rubbish ways of representing the data. Some of it from old exam papers, other from real data.

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.)

A variety of conversions including between units, currency conversions, use of simple formula and reading from graphs.

A brief introduction to the linking of patterns to graphs and Cartesian co-ordinates in mathematics at KS3 and GCSE. A PowerPoint suitable for lessons.

An PowerPoint with an introduction to decimal fractions and the concept of denominators to the power of ten, followed by ordering decimals and applying the four rules.

Simple PowerPoint presentation with twelve clock faces to share and discus in the classroom. A full set of ten worksheets to use with this is available for £1 at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-ks1-year-2-time-bundle-of-worksheets-for-telling-the-time-and-drawing-hands-on-a-clock-face-11184919

Questions culled and adapted from some very old papers, which means that none of the current learners will have seen these. Actually, very little changes, although these are the more basic end of the scale - some of the new ones may be trickier, but these are great for the lower grades.

Algebra on KS2 states: find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables. So I've created a presentation using graphical images for learners to exercise mathematical reasoning to solve missing number problems using all four rules. An accompanying worksheet/activity gives learners practice in the skills. Plus a second activity that has no words, just images, which makes it great for learners to talk to each other, and a PowerPoint presentation of the same problems allows the learners to share their thinking with the whole class. Hence can be used at any age above Year 5.

Five exercises embracing Pythagoras theorem and sine, cosine and tangent as applied to right-angled triangles. Multiple choice quizzes for recap, revision or homework, in Word and PDF. All mistakes are mine, and please report to me if you find any!

A PowerPoint presentation to explore the nature of Standard Form, deriving the methods. Simple worksheet on conversions and another on calculations (KS4). Plus card matching activity and pair-matching activity. Everything to teach and explore the subject. All images ©2015 Colin Billett Objectives KS3 - interpret and compare numbers in standard form A x 10n 1≤A Foundation and Higher Tier - calculate with and interpret standard form A × 10n, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer.

PowerPoint to introduce the rules of indices, using number and with lots for the learners to do, and which can be used as a prelude to algebraic manipulation of powers. Refresher activity on KS3/Foundation powers and roots, plus a worksheet on more complex examples for Higher Tier GCSE. Plus objectives for pasting into lesson plans. And a single page 'matching' activity in PowerPoint or PDF.

Surds and and an understanding of irrational numbers are new to GCSE Foundation, so I’ve produced a clear and simple PowerPoint for classroom use to introduce the topic. Other stuff available on working with surds etc. I’ve added a pdf version to solve the problem of different versions of PowerPoint and some images not working well on ppt.

Genuine modular paper questions which were popular in Word and now I've added them in PowerPoint. Around twelve questions to each test/quiz.

Maths Key Stage 2 Year 5 - 'interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero.' Lots of questions, each of real contextual situations, to give the learners practice in developing understanding of negative numbers. Great for quick revision at any stage.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Mensuration and Calculation included. Twenty seven lessons in all. After getting 'one-star' review on the complementary set, which covers number, ratio etc., I decided to offer a free sample of the first three algebra PowerPoints so you can try them first before you commit to buy them. Find the three free samples here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-samples-gcse-higher-tier-specs-and-objectives-in-powerpoint-for-lesson-plans-display-11163392

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 poor feedback, I decided to make the first three as free samples, so do check them out before you buy this full set. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-sample-specifications-and-objectives-for-gcse-higher-tier-3-lessons-in-powerpoint-11163375

Modular GCSE questions from multiple choice modular papers, now defunct but great for variety. Suitable for KS3 or KS4. I've previously added these in Word, and now adding PowerPoint. Part 1 are the easy questions, part 2 are slightly harder.
