A complete lesson on Adding and Subtracting Fractions. All tasks are differentiated at least 3 ways, with worked solutions and typed solutions to all questions. The lesson is ideal for the new spec as it includes problem solving and reasoning with solutions. Also introduces the idea of algebraic fractions. Ideal for Year 7-11 and lasts 2-3 lessons.

A series of lessons on finding fractions of an amount. All tasks are differentiated at least 3 ways and there is an opportunity to problem solve, reasoning tasks and also worded problems. There is the opportunity to problem solve to prepare pupils for the new curriculum. All tasks come with solutions and are non printable so easy use in class. Can be used for KS2, KS3 and low ability KS4. Pupils have been engaged throughout during this lesson.

A series of lessons (2-4) dependent on ability for using and applying upper and lower bounds. The lesson consists of finding error intervals, using bounds in calculation, functional problems as well as trigonometric problems. There are plenty of reasoning opportunities and questions in different contexts in order to prepare kids for new curriculum style questions. All tasks are differentiated either 3 or 4 levels. All tasks have solutions so pupils can self mark with some of the solutions handwritten so pupils can see a full worked solutions. This has been used with classes of varying ability and all have been able to access the lesson up to their desired ability.

This is a series of lessons (2-3) on finding the gradient and equation of a linear graph. The lesson begins with using and applying the gradient and y intercept of a graph.
