PowerPoint with lots of practise questions on using the FOIL method to expand double brackets. This was used with set 4 year 11 GCSE foundation students as an introduction to quadratic expressions and as a revision on multiplying negative expressions and simplifying algebraic expressions.

Used as an introduction to a new topic of writing formula for set 3 year 9. PowerPoint talks through examples of writing algebraic formula clearly with worded steps, and gives multiple examples.

Seventeen mixed maths questions on some of the more difficult topics in the CEM style 11 plus maths paper. I use this sheet to assess where a child is with their maths knowledge before 11 plus tuition, and know what topics to focus on!

This PowerPoint and worksheets bundle help learn basic analysis and factorisation of quadratic functions, approach tricky ‘hidden’ worded problems, and solve simultaneous equations.

This is the first set of questions I use to introduce trickier division problems then those in the times tables. These questions are great for introducing the ‘bus stop’ form of writing division, as well as easing into trickier forms.

This PowerPoint gives a comprehensive overview of vector geometry (GCSE level) from assumed zero knowledge to full understanding under AQA GCSE curriculum. Worksheets from the following were used to supplement: Mathsmadeeasy Mr Barton Maths TES

Fun and engaging long division worksheet (single digit by 2-3 digit, mixed with and without remainders) with problems getting harder as you work through the sheet! Students must solve the long division problems to eliminate possible places Scurvy Sam’s treasure is buried, with the last place left being where the treasure is! Both word and PDF versions included, so sheet can be modified to include more/ less questions, or a different topic.

PowerPoint with full explanations, questions, and solutions on factorising out constants and variables from expressions.

A codebreaker with a spooky vampire joke to decode! There is enough space on the sheet to solve the division problems in the boxes given.

PowerPoint lesson with lots of practise problems on factorising quadratic expressions, used with set 4 year 11 GCSE foundation students, they had already been taught expanding brackets and this topic is introduced as a follow on from expanding brackets as the ‘opposite’ to expanding.

Challenge your group with this warm up/ cool down game to crack the code for the safe, using two and three times tables! This resource is easy to edit to fit your own times tables, and encourages group thinking to solve a fun puzzle requiring them to think laterally as well as use their problem solving skills!

This PowerPoint helps teach recognising types of graphs and finding their formula at GCSE level.

Heavily adapted from this fantastic resource for SEN review of the four operations, specifically column multiplication (by one digit) column addition (with carrying) column multiplication (with borrowing) long division (no remainders) Activity follows the student as a police officer, performing maths operations to catch the robber! There are areas to incorporate a child’s special interest (here retro video games) to make the resource interesting and tailored to the child.

Practice sheet with a clear reminder section on how to round hundreds numbers to both the nearest ten and the nearest hundred. Perfect for revision once a topic has been taught!

Worksheet to illustrate the relationship between division and multiplication using large numbers. I use this sheet with SEN kids and don’t point out the relationship beforehand - it’s a great sense of gratification for them when they figure out the pattern, and don’t have to do any more maths to solve the problems!

This resource breaks down every formula that could be used in GCSE AQA maths exams, clearly showing which need to be memorised, which need to be understood, and which, if applicable to the exam, will be given and explained.

Six mixed addition and subtraction worded problems from the sweetshop! I use this sheet to teach column subtraction where numbers must be regrouped twice for SEN learners.

Made for very unmotivated set 4 year 8s to practise substituting into an expression. Print the second slide so students all have a copy, and keep your slide up on the board so once they’ve had a go you can talk through answers together. First slide is to demo how to solve the activity.

These were created as preparation for the 11+ exam, but can be used for any age or class.

PowerPoint and group investigation activity used with my set 3 year 9s. This lesson was used after they were familiar with expanding single brackets and needed a bigger challenge to stretch their problem solving and lateral thinking skills. Turn it into a competition for a more fun lesson!
