Simple wordsearch where students must answer the question using their knowledge of primes, factors and multiples and then find the text in the grid. Answer included

5 powerpoints, each of 10 questions which cover all of the basics any student should know in maths: place value, simple percentages, rounding, BIDMAS, area and perimeter by counting, mode and many more. Multi-choice so everybody can have a go and the answers are shown as well. Each one, with class discussions on each question, can take from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. I start all of my Foundation GCSE and younger classes with these.

This entire lesson will talk through the algorithm of division. Typically a cubic is divided by a linear term. The powerpoint (which contains a starter) will show how each term is generated and its place in the division process. Students will also see how the answer (quotient and remainder) fit together and can be used to check. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated

This complete lesson will guide your students through the often perceived difficulty of using the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx +c to deduce the gradient and the intercept. There is no plotting of the lines but more an algebraic manipulation. The lesson incorporates when lines can be parallel and perpendicular and students are encouraged to think about setting one variable to zero to find where the line crosses the other axis. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. This lesson can be used for gifted KS3 or 4 students

Try this starter with your classes. There are 10 questions, all multi-choice and the answers are on there too. A great way to start a lesson with any student of any age that needs to continually review the basics of the subject (number, algebra, shape and data questions)

A quick revision sheet for any student on the legacy course for Edexcel A Level Maths. There are 12 questions that cover pretty much all of the module. Students should be able to answer these quick-fire questions in about 20 minutes if they are ready to tackle the Core2 examination. The powerpoint plays model solutions and can be mailed to students to help them assess their work. Ideal for any student re-sitting from last year

The first lesson for low ability KS3 or 4 students where we introduce them to solving equations of the type 2x + 3 = x + 9. The powerpoint is animated and uses the classic balance pan approach or a more dynamic “zapping” approach. The fully differentiated resource goes from 1 star (diagrams drawn for students and they simply scribble over the x counters and number counters) through to 3 star where students will attempt to solve using only manipulation. The resource is printed so that students can write on, thus saving time. Note that answers are not included and that there are no negative x terms in the equation (that would be next lesson). A lesson checkout is included where students can be quizzed on what they have done in the lesson.

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.

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!

Designed for lower ability KS3 students who will be taking an end of year assessment based on the second paper of the Edexcel November 2017 new spec paper. This is to help weaker students pick up marks on selected topics such as basic manipulation, area by counting, ratio, primes, multiples. This is not covering the whole paper…just to build confidence in students who would struggle to pick up any points at the start of the paper. The powerpoint contains similar questions and the resource to print to accompany it contains brief notes and then several quick questions to practise. Answers not included.

I am busy writing new schemes of work for the Year 13 new a level course. I would welcome comments on this entire lesson. The powerpoint (complete with differentiated objectives) will show students how to simplify expressions. The fully differentiated resource comes with complete model solutions which I intend to print for the students, along with the task sheet. A lesson summary sheet for your teaching files will also be included (but that is still being created) Any additions or comments on the structure would be appreciated

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.

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!

8 differentiated questions with multi-choice feature and answers shown at end. A way to refresh foundation students on angles round a point/on a line and in a triangle

A simple differentiated 5 minute starter for any student of any age who needs regular practise of basic facts. Answers are shown

5 minute warm up with three different tiers of questions. Students select the tier of questions and have 5 minutes to answer as many as they can. Answers are on the next slide. Great for lesson starters with any students working at basic level (GCSE grades 1/2/3)

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.

Three grids of 36 questions that a student working at Grade 6 to 7 at GCSE should be able to recall. Covers all of the classic algebra, shape, number and a little data. Print on A3 for best results. Answers not included.
