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.

GCSE Maths Higher Speed Distance and Time

GCSE Maths Higher Speed Distance and Time questions in PowerPoint. Some a bit easy, to keep the learners going, and some introducing other concepts, like bounds, gradients, and areas under a curve. A new design for use in classroom discussions or on Zoom - questions on the left of the screen with a blank space on the right for filling in the answers - great for letting the learners try their answers to the tutor or the whole class. Two versions - one with solutions after each slide, and one with solutions at the end.

Linear functions and graphs

Two PowerPoint lessons on straight line graphs, covering all aspects of GCSE Foundation, then Higher Tier mathematics: plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel and perpendicular lines; find the equation of the line through two given points or through one point with a given gradient identify and interpret gradients and intercepts of linear functions graphically and algebraically Clear presentations with lots of opportunities for learner engagement, and great for use on Zoom or other distance learning opportunities. Can be used simultaneously with learners in a classroom and at home.

Maths KS2 Simple addition & subtraction of fractions, same denominator. Presentation + activities.

Addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator - UK specs for KS2, Year 3. Great of a bit of revision in Year 4, but learners forget this stuff at every age! Presentation with lots of images and questions, each followed by the answer, or a cut down version with just the questions, and a handout version for the learners to record their own solutions. Colourful, and aiming for class engagement. Plus two worksheets/activities that get the learner shading the fraction sums with a variety of shapes, to see the connection, and a mixed page of addition and subtraction for the learners to complete.

Functional Skills Maths - Multiple Choice Quizzes

Functional Skills A set of multiple choice quizzes that I created for Functional Skills Mathematics, covering the mathematical topics as revision for functionality. 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.)

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.
