Practice questions covering a range of problems mainly involving compound growth. There are three questions at the beginning specifying 'simple' interest to remind students that there is a difference between simple growth and compound growth, but the bulk of the worksheet asks students to practice compounding interest over a specified number of time periods, and to apply reasoning to reverse the compounded growth in order to find the original amount.

A simple resource covering simultaneous equations and solving by elimination, substitution and use of graphical methods.

A simple resource with two sides presenting 4 different real life graphs with applied questions provided. The worksheet should take between 15 and 20 minutes to complete and is intended as a plenary.

A short summary worksheet on Pythagoras and simple trigonometry, best used as a starter activity or plenary once the basics have been taught; should take 10-15 minutes.

A series of worksheets to provide practice for prime factor decomposition, writing values as products of prime factors, using decomposition to understand properties of square numbers and cube numbers, decompose algebraic terms, and apply decomposition to the process of finding HCF and LCM. This can be used in conjunction with my 'Steps for Success' document and the section on 'Factors and Multiples' in that document.

A worksheet intended as a plenary to check understanding of function machines, and the order of operations implicit within equations. A short check on the understanding of inverse operations is included. This worksheet should take around 10 minutes for students to complete.

Questions based on simplifying powers and roots with answers. This worksheet provides some summaric practice of the topic.

Worksheet comprising 4 sections to build understanding of direct and indirect (or inverse) proportion. Plenty of practice available to keep students occupied and to challenge students to ensure they are able to tackle problems successfully. This worksheet would work well with the 'Steps for Success' document that I have made available for free where a stepped approach for dealing with the topic is detailed.

A simple resource covering proper and improper fractions and the four operations; should take students between 30 and 40 minutes to complete with applied questions included.

A simple resource covering labelling 3D shapes, plan views and side elevations, isometric drawing and planes of symmetry for classroom practice.

Suitable either as a short activity, or a lesson or sequence of lessons; the excel document provides two worksheets each with a set of 6 scales and a variety of animals on each. The premise is simple, students must determine the weight of each animal. This is a simple introduction to Algebra, but can be seen as a simple problem solving activity. If the teacher starts by recording the 6 sets of scales as abstract algebra (eg c = 10, 2c = h, 2c + 2h = 2d based on the first set of scales), it is easy to share with students how much easier Algebra is when dealing with concrete (animals and pictures) as opposed to abstract (numbers and letters). To extend the students, and to create an excellent creative activity that is perfectly differentiated, ask students to create their own scales that 'build' towards a final unknown. The challenge is to ensure each scale is sequential, the 'Maths' works and the solution can be found, and the symbols or theme that the student chooses to use is manageable! I have had students create 'Christmas' themes with Father Christmas, reindeer, presents, elves etc, and students who have used simple quadrilateral shapes. They choose according to their artistic ability, and to the complexity of the problem they wish to create. Once created, the students have produced their own puzzles that their peers can attempt to solve at the beginning of the next lesson, evaluate in terms of difficulty, and offer words of advice on how the worksheet could be improved.

A summary worksheet that covers a range of questions about circles, including circumference and area. There are some applied, 'wordy' problems included on the second page.

A range of questions designed to assess a student's understanding of perimeter, area and volume.

These rubrics are designed to ensure students check the quality of their statistical diagrams before moving on, or asking the teacher if their diagram is correct and of a suitable standard. They share success criteria, ensure students are applying the models of self and peer assessment with structure, and simplify the process of monitoring the standard of student work when creating statistical diagrams.

This is one of the 22 homework documents that you can purchase; it is easy for students to write on, teachers are advised to print off any 4 consecutive pages for the students according to ability, there is a monitoring document available to record results and monitor progression, and a huge variety of topics are covered in every page ensuring excellent coverage of the Curriculum. This is both a revision and homework resource which is easy to mark. It is a precursor to my bundle of 36 GCSE assignments designed for the new specification 2016, and suitable for US teachers as an excellent set of resources to challenge students and evaluate progress.

This worksheet is a good starter activity, or the basis of a longer lesson. The key aim is to apply a consistent understanding of each of the four operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, regardless of the topic area. For addition, subtraction and division, the 'denomination' of each term needs to be the same. For example; 4a + 2a, 4a - 2a, and 4a / 2a are all straight forward provided we understand that + means 'get some more', - means 'take some away' and divide means 'put into groups of... or piles of'. For multiplication, we can use 'logical language'; eg 2a x 3b = 6ab hence 2 'root3' x 3 'root 5' = 6 'root 3' 'root 5', which of course can be simplified to 6 'root 15'. Further explanation of this approach to the four operations is provided in the Maths 'Help Booklet' which I have authored and is available for free from the TES site.

This is a series of questions which assess understanding of linear graphs, tangents, the equations of a circle, and the ability to find points of intersection. It is a useful summary worksheet for AS level students to complete after studying the first chapter on coordinate geometry as part of the Core course. It also provides a useful guide to the content of the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths course, and provides extension material for GCSE students.

This worksheet builds an understanding of fractions based on 'cups' and encourages students to consistently ensure fractions have the same denomination (determined by the denominators) in order to add, subtract and divide (make groups or piles).

This is an example of a Higher 'Pure' practice assignment, one of the 12 differentiated assignments available as part of the series on offer. There are both Foundation and Higher versions of each assignment and answer papers.

Resource aimed at encouraging students to understand the equivalence between decimal fractions and vulgar fractions, where the denomination is base 10, and of percentages (meaning 'hundredths').
