An interactive lesson in PowerPoint for senior secondary pupils to help with transformation of graphs, in particular cubics, exponentials and logarithms. Pupils are shown how to represent these graphs in the manner of an Egyptian sand dance and then have to demonstrate the transformations. Ideal for KS4, C1, C2, C3 and C4 students.

7 D_____ in a W_____ ? Useful as a quiz round or as a starter in a maths lesson. There are two puzzles here both with answers. The font is oversized so it can be reduced (2-to-a-page) and still be legible in an exercise book.

A one-off Drama lesson calling for silly ideas and outrageous overacting.

Here are four (edited) scenes surrounding modern social issues. They are good springboards for discussions on these issues, as well as exploring relationships where one character is in a position of power compared to the other(s). These scenes are: A - "Mad Men", where the experienced secretary (Joan) shows the new girl (Peggy) around her incredibly sexist 1940s office. B - "Look Back in Anger", where a boring Sunday morning leads to a domestic argument. C - "Juno", where teenager (Juno) has to speak to her parents about the fact that she's pregnant. D - "American History X", where the headteacher (Sweeney) throws a life line to a student who's out of control (Danny) There is also a written assessment task to draw together the pupil's understanding of the scenes.

A simple starter activity to recap knowledge of non-calculator percentages. Can easily be modified to accommodate different quantities and percentages.

Three Maths investigations, originally designed for use with Year 7 G&T pupils in preparation for Secondary School but useful at various levels of both Primary and Secondary. 1) Two Dice: A relatively easy investigation on Probability. 2) Interior Angles: A medium difficulty investigation on Geometry (with some Algebra) 3) Handshaking: A more complicated investigation on Combinations (with some Algebra)

A booklet of fifteen puzzles: five easy, five medium and five hard. Should easily fill an hour’s lesson. Designed for pupils to attempt in teams, but can be used an individual challenge for gifted and talented pupils!

Each one has 40 marks and covers a wide range of numeracy content including: Four Operations including Long Multiplication Rounding and Ordering Percentages and Fractions Time, Money and Measurement Numeracy problems in a real life context The assessments are designed to be used in order, with each one mirroring the others in terms of content, allowing pupils to learn from their mistakes without being too predictable. Each assessment also has a detailed mark scheme, including the awarding of method marks.

After doing “Hello World!” one of the first tasks set by many old school programmers is designing a classic text-based adventure game. Here is a six-lesson scheme of work to allow students to explore this idea and design their own game in Python. This can easily be modified to another programming language if you want (but the example files are in Python).
