Clearly shows where the shapes of the 3 trig functions come from.

The accompanying pupil booklet for the above gsp activity.

This PowerPoint lesson gives a clear demonstration of how to work out the nth term of quadratic sequences. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 students.

allows you to generate random linear equations of varying difficulty involving brackets and then provides the answer

a flash file where students must match up fractions to their equivalent decimals. has 3 different levels and suitable for use on the IWB

A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams. The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!
