A worksheet intended as a plenary to check understanding of function machines, and the order of operations implicit within equations. A short check on the understanding of inverse operations is included. This worksheet should take around 10 minutes for students to complete.

This is an example of a Higher 'Pure' practice assignment, one of the 12 differentiated assignments available as part of the series on offer. There are both Foundation and Higher versions of each assignment and answer papers.

A range of questions designed to assess a student's understanding of perimeter, area and volume.

This excel document summarises the key learning objectives for Mathematics from ages 11 to 16; the objectives are carefully organised and allow for students to self-assess and teachers to record their progress in a simple, visual way. Each topic area can be printed as a single sheet to share objectives with students, evaluate prior knowledge, and evaluate progress at the end of a taught topic.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at Higher ability students who have been taught to recognise graphs of other functions and to translate, stretch and reflect functions. The questions are challenging and progress throughout the 4 pages in terms of difficulty, and they provide comprehensive practice for the new Curriculum. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught algebraic expressions, including collecting terms, multiplying out brackets, factorising and simplifying quotients. The questions include work on perimeter, area, volume and arithmetic sequences. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to solve problems involving ratio and proportions, proportional change, and successive proportional change. The questions include proportions within real life contexts, such as taxation, and other cross-curricular contexts including scale factor enlargement. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to solve problems involving recognising, measuring and drawing angles, working with bearings, angle calculations, circle geometry, and some basic trigonometry work.

This worksheet builds an understanding of fractions based on 'cups' and encourages students to consistently ensure fractions have the same denomination (determined by the denominators) in order to add, subtract and divide (make groups or piles).

These write-on papers cover a wide range of problems that are well presented and easy to mark; they comprise non-calculator and calculator assessments with questions ranging in difficulty from old Level 3 to old Level 6 based on the UK levelling system that has now been replaced. While 'levels' have been replaced, the monitoring document provides a means to evaluate the progress of a cohort or class of students, to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate progress. For the age group, results which are determined as 'level 5c' or above are above national average. Level 6 would indicate 'Gifted and Talented' students in comparison to the year group, and Level 3 would identify students in need of further support and intervention.

This worksheet is a good starter activity, or the basis of a longer lesson. The key aim is to apply a consistent understanding of each of the four operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, regardless of the topic area. For addition, subtraction and division, the 'denomination' of each term needs to be the same. For example; 4a + 2a, 4a - 2a, and 4a / 2a are all straight forward provided we understand that + means 'get some more', - means 'take some away' and divide means 'put into groups of... or piles of'. For multiplication, we can use 'logical language'; eg 2a x 3b = 6ab hence 2 'root3' x 3 'root 5' = 6 'root 3' 'root 5', which of course can be simplified to 6 'root 15'. Further explanation of this approach to the four operations is provided in the Maths 'Help Booklet' which I have authored and is available for free from the TES site.

Excellent resources to use as cover work when absent from class!

This is an example of a Foundation 'Geometry' practice assignment, one of the 12 differentiated assignments available as part of the series on offer. There are both Foundation and Higher versions of each assignment and answer papers.

A simple resource covering labelling 3D shapes, plan views and side elevations, isometric drawing and planes of symmetry for classroom practice.

A student support document to assist with revision and with tackling home assignments independently. The document covers a range of topic areas and specifies stepped approaches for applying mathematical methods such as estimated means, factorising quadratics, applying basic and more advanced Trig, dealing with direct and inverse proportion etc.

This is a series of questions which assess understanding of linear graphs, tangents, the equations of a circle, and the ability to find points of intersection. It is a useful summary worksheet for AS level students to complete after studying the first chapter on coordinate geometry as part of the Core course. It also provides a useful guide to the content of the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths course, and provides extension material for GCSE students.

Resource aimed at encouraging students to understand the equivalence between decimal fractions and vulgar fractions, where the denomination is base 10, and of percentages (meaning 'hundredths').

Three pages of questions including; Page 1: Increase and Decrease an amount by a proportion; Page 2: Successive proportionate change given an original amount; Page 3: Reverse Proportion Questions; Page 4 “Cheese Method script” which provides prompts for students to structure their working consistently. You will want to adapt this, or not print this page, according to your teaching pedagogy! I have also included videos that provide guidance for students (and which also explain what I mean by Cheese Method!

These papers provide original examination questions covering a wide variety of Pure, Mechanics and Statistics topics. Full solutions are provided. There are 8 papers at AS, and 8 papers at A2, and each paper comprises 4 pages of problems.
