Complete lesson for more able students to show them how to solve linear inequalities and represent their solutions on a number line. Powerpoint fully explains method using traditional “do the same to both sides” approach. It also discusses dividing by negatives and how this can be avoided by adding the x to both sides. Fully differentiated (three levels) write on resource with student notes section and a self-evaluation plenary section. No answers included.

Full lesson on introduction to inequalities Powerpoint animated to show what the symbols mean. How we represent them using full and empty circle. Listing integer solutions Fully differentiated resource with three levels of difficulty. Students write on the resource. Students can measure their own progress at end in plenary and ask questions. No answers included

3 sets of 5 starter activities which allow students working at foundation, intermediate and higher GCSE. There are 9 random questions on each task, covering all aspects of the curriculum, including basic knowledge and application as well as problem solving. Answers not included.

Complete lesson how to find estimates of the mean, median and the modal class of a grouped distribution. There is a starter activity included, the Powerpoint which shows students how to tackle their work and a fully differentiated resource which includes notes and space on which students can write their answers. Plenary section is included on the resource. No solutions given.

A complete lesson which takes students through how to find the mean, median, mode and range when given discrete data in a table. Lesson includes a starter, the Powerpoint for to show the students how to tackle the work and a fully differentiated resource which includes notes and space for students to write their solutions. There is also a built in plenary section for students to assess their progress. Answers not included.

Complete lesson which takes students starting the GCSE Higher course through a review of the three averages. Simple calculations are covered as well as reverse problems and “give me three numbers with a mean of…” type problems. Lesson includes a starter activity, the Powerpoint demonstration and the fully differentiated resource which contains notes and space for students to write their answers. No answers given.

10 multi choice questions to get students to recall key facts and formulae about the basic higher level content

A multi choice homework that covers a range of topics that students should be happy with when targeting one of the higher grades at GCSE. Multi-choice means easier to mark!

A giant grid which can be printed on A3 paper containing over 50 questions that test number skills of foundation students that are working at grade 3, 4. No answers included.

Entire lesson on how to order fractions. Powerpoint takes students through how we use equivalence to compare. Fully differentiated, write on resource goes from comparing two fractions with help, to comparing three fractions with some help to finally ordering 4 fractions where the denominators are very different. Answers not included.

Full lesson on calculating estimates of the mean from a grouped distribution. Powerpoint shows how the theory works and then 3 leveled resource which students can write on tests their knowledge. Finding the modal class and the interval which contains the median is covered but is not the main objective. Answers not included but the spreadsheet could be programmed to calculate the answers.

This is an entire lesson on showing students how to calculate the mean (and mode, median) from a table containing a discrete distribution. The powerpoint shows us why we multiply across the rows by showing the data at the bottom of the screen. The resource is differentiated at 3 levels and can be written on to allow students to easily and quickly complete their work. Answers not included but, as it on a spreadsheet, a simple cell formula can be used to find all summary statistics

Complete lesson on calculations such as 0.3 shared by 0.05. The powerpoint likens the calculations to equivalent fractions and students are encouraged to keep multiplying by 10 until the denominator becomes an integer. The fully differentiated write-on resource allows students to work from one star to four star. Answers not included.

Complete lesson to show foundation students how to calculate 0.2 x 0.05 mentally. The powerpoint shows the method of counting decimal places in the questions and then making sure that the answer contains the same number of dp. The fully differentiated write-on resource goes from 1 to 4 star and students can select their own level. Answers not included

An entire lesson teaching foundation students how to find missing sides on a pair of similar figures. Powerpoint takes students through the theory and then the fully differentiated, write-on resource can let students chose to practise at the level they feel most confident in. The answers are mainly integers and scale factors of 1.5 or 2.5 and so the lesson can be done without a calculator. Answers not included.

Looking at the three main power laws for students who understand the basic concept of an unknown being raised to an integral power. Two choices of ppt to help explain and the a four-leveled differentiated resource which starts with basic powers laws and progresses to three term combinations of multiplication and division. Answers not included. Print to an A5 booklet and get students to write their answers on the sheets. Contains notes of the power laws at the top of the first page.

Calculating the missing angle on a line or round a point. The powerpoint explains the theory and then the worksheet accompanies the lesson. The resource can be printed to an A5 booklet and students write their answers on the sheet. There are 4 levels of differentiation: first level is simple multiples of 10 as the given angles. The next level is any two or three digit angle. The third level brings in multiple unknowns and the fourth level sees students form and solve linear equations. No solutions given

Made for more able foundation students this multi-choice task asks students to simplify expressions under addition and multiplication, including negative terms. Answers not included.

Day 3 of a daily revision programme with answers

This is a daily task we are going to use in our centre to help our Year 13 students start to think about last year’s content. There are 6 pure, 2 mechanics and 2 statistics questions. Questions have been devised by myself and based on classic examination style questions. Model solutions are provided, although staff may want to check for errors!
