Two versions (with/without frequency tables) of a treasure hunt activity for a class to attempt individually or in groups. There are 24 questions, numbered from 1 to 24. Each group chooses a number from 1 to 24 at random (or you can assign them a start number), and this is the number of the first question they should attempt - this should be written in the top-left circle on their answer grid. Their answer to their first question should be a whole number from 1 to 24 - this should be written in the next circle on their grid and this is the number of the next question they should attempt. e.g. if a group starts on Q6 and they think the answer to Q6 is 13 then after Q6 they should attempt Q13 (and they should have 6 -> 13 on their answer grid). If they answer the questions correctly they end up with the same chain of answers as on the solution, if they make a mistake they will repeat an earlier question and at that point you can decide how much help to give them sorting out their error(s). This activity works best if you can stick the 24 questions around a large classroom or sports hall so the groups have to run around to find their next question. All the classes I've done these activities with have loved them.

There is a large variety of questions, some with diagrams as an aid but then many later questions are without diagrams. Assumes knowledge of F=ma, constant acceleration formulas, resolving forces, and friction. This worksheet is a really good test to see if your students are secure with all the required knowledge for these problems. All answers are included.

It can be difficult to understand the forces acting when one object is placed on top of another. I have used this worksheet to help my students understand this type of problem and give them the opportunity to practise questions ranging from basic up to examination standard. There are 10 questions in total, worked solutions are included.

I created these resources to try to help my classes understand the process of factorising quadratic expressions of the form x^2+bx+c. The idea behind them is to first get the class to practise finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum, then to start to apply this to factorisation with some scaffolded questions. The first resource gets them to focus on finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum. The 4-page worksheet is broken into four sections - both numbers positive, both numbers negative, one positive and one negative, and then a mixed section. The second resource is a spreadsheet activity where your classes can further practise the skill of finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum. The questions are randomly generated and they get instant feedback on their answers, either telling them it is correct or telling them which requirement (product/sum) has not been met, giving them a chance to try again. It keeps track of how many each student has answered correctly so you can make this into a competitive activity. The final 4-page resource starts to apply the skill of finding 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum to factorising quadratics. Each section starts with a set of questions asking for 2 numbers with a specified product and sum, then asks the student to complete/write down the related factorisation. Each section concludes with some factorising questions with no scaffolding. Section A is both numbers positive, section B is both numbers negative, section C is one number positive and one number negative. Sections D has almost 50 quadratic expressions to factorise - starting with a few of each type and then moving onto mixed questions. Answers to both the worksheets are provided.

The presentation introduces the idea of drawing a graph to represent how quickly a container fills with liquid over time. The print-version can be given to pupils to make notes on and complete as the presentation is shown. The worksheet is designed to test their understanding after completing the presentation (answers are included).

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet introduces the topic of graph transformations and then has examples and an exercise on translations. The examples are designed to work through as a class and then the rules for the different translations can be completed. There are 6 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the translated graph and stating the equation of a translated graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers.

The powerpoint can be used as a whole class activity to practise spotting which type of transformation has occurred and what information must be given to fully describe it. The printable worksheets make it easier to teach this topic as the questions and solutions can just be projected onto a board or screen to work through or check as a class. This is suitable for the new GCSE spec (includes invariant points). Solutions included.

Two worksheets to practise solving quadratic equations using completing the square. The first worksheet contains the answers, so is intended to be used as practice in the classroom, while the second worksheet does not include the answers, intended as a homework. Note that the solutions must be given in simplified surd form, so students need to be able to simplify surds. The coefficient of x^2 is always 1 throughout these worksheets.

The first resource contains examples intended to be worked through as a class to practice the method. The other resources are 2 worksheets each with 11 questions for students to complete on their own (answers included).

This worksheet starts with a refresher of the 2 methods to find the equation of a straight line if we know its gradient and a point it passes through. The next section is on finding tangents. There is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 15 questions for students to do themselves. The next section is on finding normals. Again, there is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 10 questions for students to do themselves. All answers to the students questions are included. Note that this resource was designed specifically for the Level 2 Further Maths qualification, so only covers differentiating functions with positive integer powers such as y=5x^3-4x+2, but can still be used an introduction to the general method of finding tangents and normals to a curve.

The test includes 21 questions with 4 possible answers to choose from. A very quick way of assessing the knowledge of your class and the accuracy of their work, in a style of question now common on the new GCSE paper. Answers included.

This worksheet can be used to teach/practise the required knowledge and skills expected at A level for the intersections of graphs. The introduction discusses the different methods that can be used but then focuses on the method of substitution. There are then a few examples to illustrate the method, including questions about the geometrical interpretation of the answers. The final section shows how the discriminant can be used to determine/show the number of points of intersection, with examples to illustrate the method. Fully worked solutions to all examples are provided.

This 10-page resource covers all the required knowledge and techniques for related rates of change, as required for the new A level. It contains notes, explanations and examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included). It begins with an introductory example which shows related quantities can change at different rates and how the chain rule can be used to connect them. There is then a summary of the method and a page of example questions to complete with your class. The exercise that follows contains over 40 questions for your students to attempt. This projectable and printable resource will save you having to create or write out any notes/examples when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given spaces provided for solutions. Answers to all exercises are included. Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/differentiation-and-integration-with-exponential-and-trigonometric-functions-new-a-level-11981186

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet has examples and an exercise on stretches. The examples are designed to work through as a class and then the rules for the different stretches can be completed. There are 6 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the stretched graph, stating the equation of a stretched graph and stating the new coordinates of a point on the original graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers. Please note this topic is not in the new GCSE spec.

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet revises the rules for the different graph transformations and then has an exercise to practise the whole topic. There are 7 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the transformed graph and stating the equation of a transformed graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers. Please note this is designed for the new GCSE spec so only covers translations and reflections.

In each question the students are given two different shapes and told the relationship between their perimeters/area/volumes. Based on this information they must either work out a length of one of the shapes or express a length of one shape in terms of a length of the other. These can be demanding questions and, in my experience, students struggle with these questions unless they've had a fair bit of practice. This worksheet contains 6 pages of questions and all answers are provided.

A worksheet with 6 pages of questions of increasing difficulty on the topic of area and perimeter just using rectangles, triangles, compound shapes and trapezia. It includes questions where the area of perimeter is given and an unknown length must be found. All answers are provided.

A worksheet with 30 questions on equations involving algebraic fractions. In each question the equations must be rearranged to reach a quadratic equation. In later questions the quadratic equation must also be solved (using the quadratic formula). A good resource for a demanding higher tier GCSE topic. All answers provided.

These printable worksheets make it easier to teach this topic as the questions and solutions can just be projected onto a board or screen to work through or check as a class. These are suitable for the new GCSE spec and include questions on invariant points. I normally work through the first worksheet as an example and then set the second worksheet as a task for the class to do on their own. Solutions included.

This powerpoint and accompanying worksheet is designed to help students learn which method(s) they should consider using when asked to solve a quadratic equation. There are 11 examples for students to consider, the answers are given on the presentation. This activity works best if you can give each student (or group) a set of A,B,C cards to hold up for each example so you see if they are learning how to correctly choose the most appropriate method. Note that this is designed to be appropriate for GCSE so completing the square is not considered as a suitable method for solving when the coefficient of x^2 is greater than 1.
