I am now a retired teacher having taught for over 40 years in the UK at secondary level. I wanted to share my love of Mathematics and teaching by providing a good set of resources which will more than cover all your needs for as many topics as I can and at good value for money. I am trying to cover many topics from foundation level GCSE up to grade 9 at higher level in a way that is interesting and relevant. I hope you like my style !

Tangent and Normals at 'A' Level - with answers

(0)
This PDF consists of 21 questions on Tangents and Normals and nothing else - I have avoided mixing this exercise with any other topic. The first 8 questions involve only polynomial differentiation and questions 9 - 20 require product rule, quotient rule and chain rule. Q21 even involves Implicit Differentiation ! I have included the free STANDARD DIFFERENTIALS sheet which always proves useful. It is a thorough worksheet and answers are included. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

Solving Linear Equations Without Brackets Worksheet - 100+ Qs answers included

(0)
This PDF contains over 100 questions on linear equations without brackets. I used this for all classes. At KS3 I may only use the first half of each question and allow the more able student to attempt the second half. At KS4 I used it for revision and simply asked students to go down one column. Each set of questions gets progressively harder and answers. Question 1 - 26 parts of the form ax = b - latter answers include negatives Question 2 - 26 parts of the form a + x = b or a - x = b - latter answers include negative Question 3 - 26 parts of the form ax + b = c or even b - ax = c - latter answers include negatives Question 4 - 26 parts of the form ax + b = cx + d and harder - latter answers include negatives. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

Factorisation for Higher GCSE - With Answers

(0)
This is a set of questions which mixes the three forms of factorisation. Aimed at GCSE top level students - stretching the more able, this worksheet is not for your average Higher level students. I use this as a source of questions and occasionally a classwork for the best classes. The PDF consists of two questions each with 26 parts. Question 1 starts with a mixture of common factors, quadratics and the difference of two squares and then gets progressively harder - take out common factors followed by quadratics etc. Question 2 consists of 26 fractions where the numerator and the denominator will factorise by some method and then cancel down. It took a while to write this one so I hope it is of use to people. Answers are included

A very useful worksheet for grade 7+ students. This topic has been in every GCSE paper from all boards since the introduction of the 9 - 1 exam. This PDF consists of 26 questions on solving a pair of simultaneous equations - one linear and one quadratic - resulting in a quadratic equation and hence two points of intersection. All questions have been carefully worked out to give integer answers and none of the resulting quadratics are ‘ugly���.
