Section A - Worksheet 1 is all about reading scales found on typical graphs where the scale isn't increasing by 1. Here we have 14 questions with structure to help your students get this part right. Section B - Here are 6 questions for interpreting from a distance time graph. Before students start the question, they have to work out what each division is worth for both Distance and Time for the question (what it's increasing by each time). This is structure to help them access the common distance time graph questions found on exams. For each question are a set of good quality questions. Powerpoint with starter and all answers to both worksheets. Very suitable for higher ability classes.

Here is a very constructive differentiated student resource that contains visual representations for how we divide fractions. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 Starter - Prior knowledge for multiplying fractions and converting mixed fractions to top heavy Assessment opportunities to measure the progress at the start of the lesson to the end. ActivInspire slides demonstrating the visual representations, explanations and answers (fractional parts can be visually moved to show one fitting into another) Paired activity - they get the chance to work on questions that contain dividing fractions with pictures. It offers a great opportunity for coming up with their own rule, they come so close working in pairs but sharing with the class, they figure it out which is what you and your observer wants, not you telling them the rule. Differentiated worksheet task - Suitable for all learners. Contains mixed fractions division and written questions higher ability as well as basic questions for weaker students. The Plenary is used to measure the progress from the start of the lesson - mini white board. This activity is also done at the start to show your observer what the students have learnt from the lesson. A descriptive lesson plan explaining everything you need to do. I have used this several times and hasn't disappointed me.

Teaching direct proportion can be confusing for students. I have carefully thought about the introduction to this and have broken it down into manageable chunks. The lesson leads up to the complex questions (i.e. x is directly proportional to y). The new GCSE (1-9) requires students to draw the proportions on graphs and use them. I have added 6 questions on this. Answers and solutions are available for all work set. Includes detailed step by step explanations, my students really benefited from this. PowerPoint presentation and ActivInspire flipchart available.

A constructive worksheet that clearly demonstrates positive (Q1), negative (Q2) and no correlation (Q3). The questions also include interpreting after plotting. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 Starter - plotting co-ordinates flipchart - consists of worksheet solutions

Contains a starter, active inspire flipchart, 3 x worksheets which are also differentiated by outcomes. Assessments at different points in the lesson and a plenary. I used this for both KS3 and KS4, very suitable for a lesson observation.

Venn diagrams is new on the 1 - 9 GCSE spec this year and I have thought about a good solid constructive lesson that will win students understanding with this. Firstly, I have based each question around two visual events (i.e. even numbers and prime numbers). The idea here is that students say which numbers are which and then place them into the Venn diagram. Then they are asked to calculate one probability question from it, they will struggle with this but that's where you step in to make sense of them with the example ready at the board. See the cover image as an example, I have made up 8 questions, each with a different probability. The lesson is an ActivInspire flipchart, explanations and answers. Students can work from a friendly worksheet. I have put in a suitable starter (listing multiple, factors, primes, cube numbers etc). I have also included in this lesson blank diagrams with the probabilities they need to be able to shade (answers included).

I was fed up of just telling my students to multiply across, add this column, add that column, divide this column by the total of that one and there is the mean... This is what I ended up making: Starter - Students are asked to calculate the mean from a set of numbers (10 people who were asked how many pets they owned). Easy numbers to divide, straight forward. At this point, I like to demonstrate exactly what mean is How many pets do these people have? "Instead of saying this person has 2 pets, this person has 3 pets, this person has 1 pet etc... we just want one number, an average number called the mean which we just worked out" Main - The starter links straight into the main where the data is sorted into a frequency table and it's demonstrated how we get the same answer working from this table. I really break up the process and go through the whole "add them up" highlighting each of the same numbers and showing that we multiply across, students clearly see where things come from (see my cover image). On top of this, I have included 5 questions where students sort data into the frequency tables and find the mean (very structured and you can explain why they are multiplying across, adding and dividing). I have a section for just finding the mean from numbers in case some students need to work on finding mean from numbers. I also have a section for calculating mean from a plain frequency tables when your students really get the idea (so there is differentiation). I did this lesson with a weak year 8 class and they got a lot out of it. I highly recommend this, you won't be disappointed. One of my best resources. Answers are all included. Attached is an activInspire flipchart and worksheets.

I have started with simple calculations by making numbers the subject first and then progressing onto letters. There is a good 3 to 4 lessons here which I believe covers everything to do with rearranging (including factorising expressions). Please see the preview, this will show you what the slides will look like for the tasks the pupils will be doing. This is fully loaded with examples for you, tasks for the students and of course, answers for everything! Please note that this is an activ-inspire flipchart, you will require Promethean boards in your school to allow this to work. There are no worksheets because everything is on this flipchart, 50 slides!

A very constructed first lesson on surds. I had a lesson observation and needed to teach surds, due to its nature, it can be difficult to think about differentiation, progress, teamwork and at the same time, keeping it constructive. I thought about all of this and the lesson was a success ensuring every student achieved something from my set learning outcomes. I recently taught it again for another lesson observation and it didn't disappoint me. Starter - Square roots and factors (prior knowledge) Pair activity - Identifying surds Main worksheet activity - Fully differentiated Lesson plan - I have put lots of thought and detail into this lesson. Assessment - Progress is checked at the start of the lesson and at the end (use mini whiteboards) ppt - activInspire. All answers to worksheet are included. This lesson will focus on rewriting surds, simplifying surds and progressing to add/subtract them.

This lesson is suitable for lower and upper ability students. The work is differentiated and I have taught this to a mixed ability class. I have put bar model into the questions (its a fantastic method of teaching ratio). Suitable for both KS3 and KS4 The lesson focus's on the following skills and the worksheet is structured this way: First section - Sharing out amounts - boxes are used for visual representation (bar model) Section section - Given the ratio and the quantity, students are to find the other quantity (bar model) Third section - Students are to find the totals given the ratio and a quantity (bar model) Fourth section - This is a mixture of questions and students are to construct bar models There is assessment opportunities to measure the progress at the start and at the end of the lesson. The starter Is basic division which I find works very well to settle students down quickly at the start of a lesson. A lesson plan is attached explaining how I have gone about it.

Everything you need for a lesson observation is here. This is a very constructive lesson that you will not be disappointed with. This is an active inspire flipchart with worksheets. Starter - Basic Scale Factor for enlargement of squares, rectangles and triangles with answers provided. Discussion 1 - The starter links for discussing what similarity is from the shapes they enlarged. Students are shown two shapes and are asked if they are similar and why. This being that the lengths have been multiplied by the same number (SF) meaning they are similar. Identifying similarity, congruency and none is discussed here. Activity 1 - Pair activity identifying similarity, congruency and none + answers Discussion 2 - Identifying Scale factor from two shapes given they are similar. Working out SF and finding missing lengths. Challenging similar triangle shapes included for discussion. Activity 2 - Differentiated worksheet task covering all of the above. - Calculating SF - Finding missing lengths using SF - Finding missing lengths for complex triangle similar shapes Answers included Plenary - Provides a link to the real world or to test them against the GCSE question at the start to demonstrate good progress

Everything you need for a lesson observation lesson is here. You won't be disappointed. Lesson plan Starter and extension Assessment card sort activity (differentiated) Further assessment Worksheet activity Plenary All this is attached including the ppt. I taught this to a mixed ability class and every student achieved for my set learning outcomes. This resource is aimed at all KS3 and KS4 students.

Here is a lesson I put together for a lesson observation and received lots of credit. There are two options of starters (I personally would pick the T-shirt starter). The lesson is differentiated to ensure all learners progress. The lesson is suitable for both KS3 and KS4. Starter Starter 2 optional Main worksheet differentiated Extra challenge questions Flipchart with suitable examples, assess and show progression Detailed lesson plan
