Student Test Tracking Spreadsheet v3.5 - multiple tests
This spreadsheet will allow you to track the performance of up to 40 students for up to 10 tests. It will automatically calculate totals, percentages, grades (according to grade boundaries that you specify), comparisons to target grades, averages etc. It will also colour code performances on questions against the maximum marks available and provide you with the opportunity to print out individually tailored feedback sheets to your students.
I have found that this gives me an excellent method for communicating with students about their relative performance, rather than simply telling them that they have achieved 58% for example.
The file will come to you as a password protected document. The reason for this is so that it is not possible to make changes to the formulae and thus make it so that it does not work. You do not need to unprotect it to make full use of it, but just in case you wish to make changes, the password for the file is “table”.
I have made a video demonstrating it and telling you how to use it, which can be found at:
https://youtu.be/-_PgyXItLik
I also have a smaller version, available here on the TES website, for the analysis of just one test.

Decision Maths 1 Algorithms Videos
This sheet gives links to videos on all 14 of the algorithms that are required for the Edexcel Decision Maths 1 module. Each video gives a demonstration of an individual algorithm, and can be shared with students as a revision resource or used as part of a teaching lesson. Each video can obviously be paused whilst the students work out what is coming next, or rewound to hear an explanation again.
The algorithms are:
Full Bin, First Fit, First Fit Decreasing, Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Binary Search, Kruskal's, Prim's, Prim's - Matrix Method, Dijkstra's, Route Inspection, Maximum Matching, Finding Critical Paths and the Scheduling Procedure.

The Greek Alphabet - large
Upper and lower case forms for all letters of the Greek alphabet, with their names. I find this useful to have up in Maths classrooms, but obviously can be used for languages or any other suitable subject. This is scaled to fit with two letters per A4 page and is 12 pages in length.

Maths quotes and inspirational posters
This is a collection of 15 posters containing quotes from a variety of mathematicians and other notable people, concerning Mathematics and inspirational things to think about success and failure. A useful addition to any classroom.

Incorrect Mathematical Proofs Posters
This is a collection of three posters, each containing an incorrect conclusion from a seemingly correct proof. I have used them as good starter activities with classes to get them thinking about how they prove concepts and how to find errors. The proofs included show that 1=2, 3=0 and 1+2+3+4+…=-1/12.

The Greek Alphabet - small
Upper and lower case forms for all letters of the Greek alphabet, with their names. I find this useful to have up in Maths classrooms, but obviously can be used for languages or any other suitable subject. This is scaled to fit on three A4 sheets.

Growth Mindset Display - learning a new skill. (Can be adapted to any subject)
This flowchart display can either be printed out as a single sheet poster, or as individual components of the flowchart to be stuck to the wall. Both types are included in the resource file. It shows the methodology behind learning and acquiring a new skill. Whilst the flowchart is written for Mathematics, it can easily be adapted to any subject.

Surprising Maths Results Posters
This file is a collection of posters to be printed out and displayed in your room or around the Maths department. There are 32 posters, each being half an A4 sheet, with examples shown in the cover image photo. The posters cover a wide range of topics with suitable ideas for KS3, 4 and 5. There are numbers at the top of each poster, intended to encourage students to seek out others that they have not seen - we put 5 or so non-sequential posters in each teaching room.

Small Angle Approximations for Trigonometry
A spreadsheet that allows you to select the trigonometric function that you need (cell F1), and then a graph is automatically generated to show you the value of theta compared to the trig approximation, also calculating % error

Front Side Plan View activity, with answers
A simple activity where the student is presented with the front side and plan elevations of a block-based shape, which they must create. This has proved to be quite challenging for many students and some of the shapes are demanding for even the most able.

25 Challenging Maths Puzzles for KS3, 4 and 5
This document contains 25 different Maths puzzles, with answers, that provide good challenges to students of all levels. All are accessible to the weakest students, but challenging to even the highest performers. I regularly use them as fillers, homeworks and conversation starters.
