Pupils investigate what happens when the increase one of the dimensions of a cuboid by 1 unit repeatedly, and plot their results on a graph. They then try to explain their findings. Can be extended to Surface Area as well. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Pupils get given 3x3 grids and must shade any number of squares so the grid has reflection symmetry. They need to try and find the total number of ways that this is possible (they hopefully will not need as many grids are as on the worksheet). It is important that they try to be logical in the way they do it! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! Edit: Added a 12th pattern for 4 squares that I had missed!

Another set of 5 group challenge sheets for pupils to work on in groups over the course of a lesson. The vast majority of the problems are not my own, having been scavenged from many areas over the years! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :) The original set of group challenges from the superb Chris Smith: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-group-challenges-puzzle-sheets-6179530 My first set of 5 based on those: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/more-maths-group-challenges-11011518

This is a lesson we do near the start of the year with our Year 7 pupils. The idea is to get them thinking as much as possible about how they can improve, rather than whether they are good or not, which is a common problem in Maths. The video explains things very well and there is a short activity on rewording your thoughts. This lesson is most effective when you refer back to it during the year when giving feedback or when you sense the 'fixed mindset' coming back. Just doing the lesson then forgetting about it probably won't be as effective! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Powerpoints that show pupils how to transform shapes by stretching and shearing. This was made to go with the Cambridge IGCSE course and textbook, which has plenty of questions for them to practice. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils have to make the numbers from 1-50 using 1, 2, 3, and 4 once each only. They can use any operations as well as indices and factorials. Includes a sheet of possible answers! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Pupils use Maths to calculate the average speed of runners in various Olympic races and plot a graph of their results. They then try to explain the data by interpreting their graphs. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Inspired by some UKMT questions, I made a lesson showing students how they can apply their knowledge of graphs to help with some geometry problems. Students see how placing a set of axes on a geometrical picture can help with changing the problem into an algebraic one instead. Ideally this lesson would come after doing some lessons on straight line graphs (the starter contains reminders of things they will need to be able to do to access it).

Having read Ian Stewart's book of the same name, I decided to make A4 sized posters summarising each of the equations. They're nice to have up on the walls when kids say 'What's the point of Algebra?' If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

This set of 11 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Statistics and Mechanics Year 1/AS textbook, and have largely been adapted from my previous S1 and M1 resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom. If you liked this resource, then please check out my other resources on TES! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Owen134866

3 Lessons of Powerpoints and Worksheets covering the areas of Rectangles, Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums. The pupils have to find areas of different colours on national flags which are all the above area, and also using other mathematical topics. You will need to write on the powerpoints quite a bit on the starters, plenaries and examples! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! Thank you to @1hannahjones for making a number of corrections and clarifications! See here an extra lesson for circles! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/areas-of-flags-with-circles-11164206

This set of 9 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Core Pure Mathematics Year 1/AS textbook (for Further Maths), and have largely been adapted from my previous A-level resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom. There are also some Autograph files included - the hyperlinks in the presentations should work if these are placed in the same folder as the powerpoints themselves!
