A complete lesson on this frequently examined topic. Full animated demonstration as to why we use this approach. Fully differentiated resource which students can write on. Full model solutions included

A lesson to introduce negative number and where they arise. The starter is a differentiated student choice mental addition and subtraction exercise where students must work out the missing number in a chain that gives a certain total. The answers are shown on this. The main powerpoint shows an animated use of a number line as a thermometer but also as a height indicator and as profit and loss. The spreadsheet contains multiple resources which you can chose, many of which are differentiated and all of which are write-on so that students do not have to spend tim drawing things

A simple but effective lesson designed to brush up on students basic addition and subtraction skills under the backdrop of money. This is based on the old SATS questions where students would be asked to make different combinations of coins that gave a certain total. The powerpoint contains a variety of questions and then the resource has multiple tasks on different sheets that you can use to differentiate. Some are interactive and will change by pressing F9 on the sheet, thus creating an infinite amount of variations. Surprisingly challenging and always relevant.

More theoretical approach to conditional probability. Use of the formulae and axioms. Full animated demo. Fully differentiated resource for students to complete. Full solutions.

Complete lesson to show foundation students how to calculate 0.2 x 0.05 mentally. The powerpoint shows the method of counting decimal places in the questions and then making sure that the answer contains the same number of dp. The fully differentiated write-on resource goes from 1 to 4 star and students can select their own level. Answers not included

Complete lesson on calculations such as 0.3 shared by 0.05. The powerpoint likens the calculations to equivalent fractions and students are encouraged to keep multiplying by 10 until the denominator becomes an integer. The fully differentiated write-on resource allows students to work from one star to four star. Answers not included.

Everything a foundation student needs to be aware of in the shape and space strand. From the basics of shape naming and counting methods for area, through to area of plane shapes (including circle and trapezia), these 15 minute assessments can be used as homeworks or in lessons to review the students' understanding of content aimed at those targeting a grade 4. Answers not included.

The second lesson that follows on from lesson A. In this lesson the students will expand a bracket and then simplify with another two terms under addtion and subtraction. The resource is differentiated and the first level of questions expands the brackets for the student and asks them to simplify. The second level sess students expand their own brackets and simplify under addition. The third level includes negative numbers. The resource can be printed into a booklet so that students can write on. Answers are not supplied. There is also a mental starter of 10 questions.

A lesson that gets students to evaluate integrals with limits. The students will have practised how to integrate expressions and will not yet be told as to the role of the limits. This will give them practise at substituting the numbers and subtracting. The powerpoint takes the students through this process and then there is a fully differentiated resource complete with model answers, all of which have been checked.

Updated with new questions, full solutions and differentiated work. Full boardwork included.

Full lesson on how we manipulate fractions involving multiplication and division. Full lesson demo and fully differentiated resource which students can complete. Full solutions given.

This concludes the partial fractions theory and looks at improper partial fractions. Full demo, fully differentiated sheet for students to complete and answers provided.

A complete lesson in a series of 4 lessons that will take foundation students through the art of simplifying expressions. This starts with simple collection of terms such as a + a + 3a and 2a +4 + a - 4. The powerpoint uses dials (animated) to count the items as the expression is walked through. The fully differentiated resource that accompanies starts with one star (multi-choice) and progresses through to 3 star which simplifies expressions involving squares and negatives which students always think involve changing the power. Answer not included

Two homework books which can be printed off as a A5 booklet on a single sheet of A4 paper to test the foundation knowledge of your students. The powerpoint in the preview is the actual first booklet. The questions are things that students need to know. Can be used as a revision aid or at extra sessions in school.

The 4 classic areas that students tend to be intimidated by in Core 3: modulus, exponential modelling, differentiation and reciprocated trig functions. Go through the powerpoints at the board and model the answers. Then give students the relevant worksheet (many differentiated) and let them work through. Answers not supplied throughout

This is a write-on resource which can be used in multiple ways: as a classwork task, homework task, weekly assessment or revision aid in the run up to assessments. There are 18 quick, "must know" questions for low ability foundation GCSE students of any age. There is a section at the foot of the resource for a score and a comment which students can act upon. Using multiple resources will build up a profile of which topics students need to review to enhance their learning. The sheet can be edited to give an infinite number of variations too. Check out the other grids in the series to build a bank of resources! A low ability GCSE class will take around 25 minutes to complete a grid. The powerpoint is so you can see what a grid looks like when printed. It is not the same grid as the ones on the purchase, but a similar layout.

Powerpoints that can be used as "walking-talking" mock examinations in preparation lessons for the students on the legacy Edexcel course. Go through the questions and model, or email to the students, or print them off and ask them to complete. Full range of topics covered; all based on old examination style questions

Classic missing angle lesson for younger students or foundation GCSE. The starter is a differentiated number problem. The powerpoint takes students through how to approach missing angle questions and shows some slightly more algebraic examples. The resource can be printed to an A4 booklet which allows students to write on the sheet (no more terrible diagrams in exercise books) and is fully differentiated

Crosswords which review basic number skills and four rules of number for any student working at grade 1,2,3. Answers included on the sheet. Good for homework or filler material
