A quick and simple starter activity where students must match-up bar charts of heights to group photos. It is a powerpoint activity that can be used on the interactive whiteboard. Ideal for KS3 and lower KS4 students.

A set of Starter Cards on powerpoint from the wonderful liverpool maths team. The idea is that you print out the cards, laminate them, and use the prompts on the back to engage the pupils in a stimulating discussion.

Generates an infinite amount of linear equations, with different levels of difficulty, and provides the answers. the only problem is that the answers are sometimes nasty decimals!

Generates an infinite number of simple tree diagrams, both with replacement and without.

An excellent lesson on correlation and the product moment correlation co-efficient, following the SMP S1 book, kindly donated by Lisa McNulty.

This PowerPoint is suitable as a lesson and is an interesting and engaging way to practice 'like terms' in algebra. Magic squares are squares in which each column and row adds up to the same number or &'expression&';. A nice lesson to practice the concept of collecting like terms for KS3 and KS4 students.

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!

This a rich, Arithmagon activity on Addition. I love Arithmagons as they allow consolidation of key topics when going Forwards, and then opportunities for extension, creativity and discovery when working Backwards. They are also really easy to modify to suit the particular needs of your class.
