Worksheet asking students to write equations of lines given gradients & intercept as well as identify the gradient and intercept given the equation. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
Probability revision game covering theoretical probabilities, expected outcomes, sample space diagrams and two way tables. Can be played in pairs or larger groups. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
Two sets of loop cards requiring students to write different numbers as the products of their primes. Can be used as a treasure hunt around the room or as a group tasks.
A nice worksheet asking students to label angles in a variety of 2D shapes as either right, acute or obtuse. Extension activity included too. Suitable for KS2 and lower KS3.
This is a useful wall display for the start of term. There is a central poster showing the desired format for a page in a maths exercise book (feel free to edit to suit your school's requirements). There are also eight arrows to go around the outside, pointing towards the poster, detailing the key rules for good presentation in maths.
PowerPoint presentation looking at solving one and two step equations. The starter includes a range of questions to be answered on mini whiteboard covering one step equations such as g + 3 = 17. The explanation slides cover solving two step equations such as 5x + 4 = 23. The plenary is a ‘find the mistakes’ activity asking students to find and correct mistakes in a set of solutions to one & two step equations. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
A useful worksheet introducing the idea of solving 1 step equations, using all four operations - perfect to set as cover work or for a low ability group. Suitable for KS2 and KS3.
Set of extension questions requiring students to combine their knowledge of mixed number to/from improper fraction conversions with solving equations. Main task gives practice of setting up and solving one-sided equations. The extension problem gives a two-sided equation. Perfect for groups with a range of abilities where some need to practice the basic conversions whilst others need more of a challenge. Suitable for KS2, 3 and 4.
Differentiated worksheet covering equivalents fractions - starting with basic pairs involving unitary fractions progressing up to word problems such as " I am a fraction with a denominator between 35 and 45. I am equivalent to 3/7. Who am I?". Suitable for KS2 and KS3.
Starter looking at how to describe basic algebraic expressions in words. Students need to write worded descriptions for a range of algebraic expressions. Suitable for KS2, KS3 or lower ability KS4. Easier version of this activity requiring only matching is also available.
Starter looking at how to describe basic algebraic expressions in words. Students need to match the expression with its description. Suitable for KS2, KS3 or lower ability KS4. Extension to this activity also available.
Differentiated worksheet giving students practice of collecting like terms in a variety of increasingly difficult expressions.
Suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4.
Differentiated worksheet giving students practice of multiplying & dividing by powers of 10, including filling the missing power into given calculation.
Suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4.
This worksheet is ideal to use when introducing angles on parallel lines - particularly if you’re doing it with a lower ability class. It gives students practice of using alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles to find missing values, asking them to tick the fact they’ve used each time.
Perfect for challenging higher attainers. This worksheet goes beyond the usual finding fractions of amounts by asking students to find mixed numbers of amounts, progressing in difficulty throughout. Ideal for KS3 or KS4.
Card sort requiring students to match up different times given in minutes, hours and hours & minutes. Useful for highlighting potential misconceptions.
Students are given clues in order to help them find missing questionnaires-themed keywords in a word search. Answers included. Great for revision, particularly for GCSE Statistics.
Set of cards showing fractions and mixed numbers. Students need to sort them into two piles according to whether they convert into terminating or recurring decimals.
