I am a full time secondary teacher and head of department who started teaching in 2004. I love to teach mathematics and try to create interesting and dynamic visual resources to enhance the delivery of my subject. I hope you find my resources useful.

An interactive geogebra applet that models graphically and numerically how the a recursive definition converges towards a root. Change the functions and starting value and generate the sequence with a ‘new iteration’. Show/hide the sequence table and zoom in and out to inspect how the sequence converges. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in a web browser.
A fully interactive geogebra presentation. Generates examples of all circle theorems that can be manipulated dynamically to reinforce that the relationships are always maintained despite how each theorem can appear visually. Modeling of all proofs are also included and differentiated questions can be generated for whole class participation or to create a worksheet of your own. See the attached images for examples and how the controls work.
This is an interactive geogebra applet but, if you don’t have geogebra installed (free), I have also included the web link so that you can use this applet in any web browser.
I have also included some worksheets I made.
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling of drawing Venn diagrams from set notation (as seen in Edexcel 1MA1). Use buttons to generate a new question and click on each set to show the shading on the Venn diagram. Start when the most colours overlap and work back from there. A differentiated worksheet also included.
The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling calculating the equation of a tangent to a circle. Use the slider to set the centre (differentiated with (0,0) or non (0,0) centres) and generate an example using the button. Please note, GCSE only ever need to consider (0,0) centres but this could be used for A level teaching too with none (0,0) centres. Show the working by clicking on the button and then click each line of working to reveal the next line.
A differentiate worksheet is also attched.

An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling solving linear inequalities by balancing. Watch the video for demonstration on how to use.
The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling drawing and interpreting pie charts. Click the black buttons to select either drawing or interpreting and genreate a problme by clicking ‘new’. Click on the table to reveal the angles and then click ‘show protractor’ to model using the protractor to mark the angles (the prompts will help you use this). Once the last angle has been draw, it will automatically label the pie chart.
A differentiate worksheet is also attched.

An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling applying the sine and cosine rules for non-right angled triangles. Generate random missing length or angle questions using the buttons and use the slider to reveal the step-by-step working. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in a web browser.
Now includes worksheets too!
