The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students.
With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

This lesson and worksheet looks at the knowledge of the angles contained in a semicircle. This is done through worked examples followed by a worksheet for students to attempt.
These two lessons cover the introduction to the sigma notation and a lesson on the Difference method. The method of difference is an alternative to the proof by induction.
This lesson I usually teach to the younger students. I prefer to drawn horizontal bar charts as the labelling is much easier to represent. However there are examples of vertical bar charts in the powerpoint and worksheet.
One of the slides is designed to carry out a tally chart in class. Once the tally has been collected you can place the information into the next slide and a horizontal bar chart for the live data will be presented.
GCSE Foundation Run around game 3
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination.
Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table.
Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper.
The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions.
The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered.
Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!
This is an investigation I used to use in the early 1990's when coursework was all the rage!
Ideal task for end of term. Keeps the students still focused and on task.
This lesson is a continuation form the lessons on Discrete and continuous errors (available from the shop for free)
The lesson looks at errors further created when quantities are put together through either using the for rules of number or in additional formula work.
As well as the PowerPoint lesson there is a worksheet and answers for the students to attempt either in class or as a piece of homework.
This series of slides consists of twenty mathematical questions with a Christmas theme. The idea is to keep students entertained in the final days/weeks of the term whilst also doing some good quality maths work. The questions can be answered with or without a calculator.
Answers are provided at the end.
Merry Christmas.
This spreadsheet is set up to produce nine questions for students to answer on a variety of foundation topics.
The spreadsheet also generates the answers.
To generate a new list simply alter week 1 for week 2 etc and a new sheet is generated. That is the numbers are replaced or a different algebraic expression is generated.
The topics on this sheet include:
Dividing into a given ratio
Multiplying fractions together
nth term of a linear sequence
collection of like terms
solving simple equations
decimal conversions
metric conversions
decimal multiplication
This revision lesson looks at the ability to answer a variety of questions related to direct or inverse proportion.
As with the other revision lessons in the shop, the lesson is constructed with multiples of two worked examples before students attempt some similar questions.
Answers are provided.
This lesson was used with a Key stage 3 class.
we worked through each example using the calculators this time. Another lesson available in the shop addresses finding the fraction of a quantity without a calculator.
The class then complete the worksheet in class or as a piece of homework.
The series of worksheets and worksheet generator looks at a variety of ratio questions students could meet in the new GCSE examination.
The first worksheets look at the more basic dividing into a given ratio.
subsequent worksheets look at the more complicated ratio questions that appear on the papers and many students struggle to answer.
The reason behind the generated question excel package is that you can generate an infinite number of worksheets. Hence students can have endless practice at this questions.
Alternatively you can generate a complete set of different questions so that each member of the class has their own set to answer!
Mathematics Games to play close to Easter.
A series of Mathematics games that can be played in the classroom or even placed around the school play ground for break and lunchtime activities.
Each game consists of twelve questions written onto twelve pictured easter eggs.
The idea is that the students know the starting card but initially have no idea of the last card.
The aim of the game is to answer the questions in the correct order thereby revealing a code.
The student can then submit the correct code to the teacher and maybe receive a reward of some kind!
The games consist of :
Addition
Addition & Subtraction
Multiplication
Long Multiplication
Fractions of a quantity
Percentages of a quantity
Solving algebraic equations
This lesson and worksheets looks at algebraic problems which involve constructing equations based on the knowledge of either
angles in a triangle
angles in a quadrilateral
ands associated with parallel lines
angles in a parallelogram
angles associated with circle theorems.
There are two worksheets to backup the worked examples. The second worksheet is similar to the first just in case you need a review and want student to "have another go"
Solutions are provided.
This lesson is a follow on from the lessons involving drawing the quadratic curve.
The lesson consists of a couple of worked examples on drawing standard curves, followed by information about some standard graphs and their shape.
The lesson also has an worksheet for students to tackle in class or as a piece of homework.
