Mathematics
Marking probabilities on the probability scale
Worksheet allowing students to practise marking probabilities on the probability scale.
Scaffolded version also included for lower ability students.
Opportunity for students to also write the fraction and worded probability of each event, to support them becoming fluent with the language of probability.
Lesson for teaching the Reverse Mean
Full lesson with starter and three clear animated examples of how to find the reverse mean. Differentiated activity, with prompts to support students initially.
Scaffolded Volume of a Cylinder
Worksheet with scaffolded calculations, to support students in working out the volume of a cylinder.
Red and Amber worksheets, where the radius or diameter is given.
Suitable for lower ability classes, can be used as a extra support in mixed ability classes and has been used successfully with SEN classes.
All answers are provided for students to self/peer assess their work.
Plotting linear graphs
The starter covers the basics of how to correctly label the x and y axis (spot the mistake), then students are introduced to recognising linear equations.
Animated PowerPoint, demonstrating step by step, how to complete a table of values and plot the corresponding graph.
Differentiated worksheets included in this lesson bundle, with problem solving explorative questions, to encourage students to develop a deeper understanding.
Area of semicircles and quarter circles
Fully differentiated, scaffolded worksheet on finding the area of semicircles and quarter circles.
Scaffolded calculations included for lower ability students, to increase their confidence, slowly building up to the final challenge involving no scaffolding and compound shapes involving circles.
Suitable for all abilities and mixed ability classes as students can begin from different starting points (including SEN).
All answers included for students to self/peer assess their work.
Area of Trapeziums Scaffolded Worksheet
Scaffolded worksheet that supports students in calculating the area of a trapezium. Suitable for SEN classes.
Ratio and Proportion
Ratio and proportion lesson, this resource can be used to introduce students to the topic. It covers the differences between 'ratio' and 'proportion' using a counter activity. In addition there is a visual animation, where orange squash is made up. This never fails to engage students!

Cut and Stick sheets (counter activity)
Substituting into a formulae
Ideal Substituting into a formula lesson for year 7 (high ability) or as a recap lesson for other years. Starter to check prior algebra knowledge and extension task included.
Differentiated, visual percentages of an amount worksheet
Suitable differentiated activity for introducing the topic of ‘percentages of an amount’ with challenge questions. Especially good for visual learners.
Introduction to 2D shape and perimeter
This complete lesson introduces students to parallel and perpendicular lines and the properties of 2D shape.
Students can annotate their shapes (by printing out the shape slide and using as a handout).
Perimeter of 2D shapes is then explored using a fully animated, worked example.
Rearranging formulae and substitution
Using problem solving and worded questions, this lesson introduces substitution and then moves onto rearranging formulas. This can be split and taught as two separate lessons.
Fractions Decimals Percentages conversion lesson
A comprehensive lesson that takes students through each conversion, with examples and questions throughout. The final task allows students to improve fluency by filling in the gaps of a conversion table or those that have mastered the topic to develop their problem solving skills through worded problems. Answers included for self/peer assessment. This can be split over two lessons or adapted to one lesson, depending ability.
Dividing Fractions
Complete lesson for teaching the topic of "Dividing Fractions".
Starter, animated examples included and main differentiated activity (with worksheet) included. Questions start from basic division to reasoning and GCSE style questions. Answers included for self/peer assessment.
Fractions of an amount
A full lesson for teaching "finding a fraction of an amount". Animated examples included and maze activity, which engages students much more than simply giving them a set of questions to complete. Answers included for self/peer assessment and then the lesson moves onto worded problems.
Plotting Linear Graphs and features of y=mx+c
Complete lesson covering the features of straight line graphs, plotting straight line graphs, then extending students knowledge by showing them how the point of intersection of two or more lines represents a solution (leading to solving simultaneous equations graphically).
Volume and Surface Area of Cylinders 'Discovery' lesson
Introductory cylinders lesson, encouraging students to 'discover' the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. This encourages mathematical reasoning by teaching for a much deeper understanding. Problem solving 'extension' questions are built into the lesson for differentiation.
Place Value: Rounding to decimal places, significant figures and estimation
Lesson demonstrating how to round to 1, 2 and 3 decimal places and significant figures. The lesson then builds up to applying this to estimate calculations.
Solving Equations using Function Machines
This resource is fully equipped for the new GCSE curriculum with problem solving opportunities throughout.
It explores solving equations using function machines, then applies this to worded problems and a past paper question. Following this, the balance method is then explored (extra slides, which can form part of another lesson or used to show students this alternative method for solving equations).
Solving Equations Lesson Bundle (including unknowns on both sides, brackets and fractions)
This lesson series introduces solving equations using the balance method progressing to unknowns on both sides, fractions and brackets).
Fully differentiated questions throughout and opportunities for think, pair, share.
Series of three PowerPoints that can be used as a complete lesson sequence for this topic.
'Simpsons style' single brackets spot the mistake plenary also included as a consolidation activity.
Plotting Linear Equations (Straight line graphs)
Plotting Linear Equations lesson, providing a sound introduction to the topic using an engaging starter activity, (spot the mistake) that re-inforces the importance of labelling the axis on a graph correctly. The lesson then moves onto the concept of substituting values into an equation. Then students are invited to explore the properties of a straight line equation.
The method is introduced and students are then given the opportunity to practise plotting linear equations using the differentiated activity sheets (answers provided on the PowerPoint for self/peer marking). - AfL
Plenary activity - Students return to the 'Big Question' presented at the start of the lesson to measure progress made. In addition to a self assessment activity, where students' can reflect upon their progress made during the lesson.
