This is a powerpoint covering expanding single and double brackets and factorising into single and double brackets. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

All these sheets are available individually for free but if you want to download the lot in one hit then this is for you. These are revision sheets on Data, Algebra, Number, Geometry (hence "DANG"). Each sheet has 6 sections covering the aspects listed in brackets of Data (average, probability, frequency tables, grouped frequency, interpreting bar charts), Algebra (simplifying expressions, solving equations, sequences, y=mx+c, inequalities, substitution), Number (properties of number, BIDMAS, ratio, fractions/percentages, indices, rounding/estimation) and Geometry (measures, angles, perimeter/area/volume, properties of shapes, speed/density, Pythagoras/Trigonometry) up to around B/C or 5/6 grade. All the instructions are on each sheet. Ideal for revision, homework, cover lessons or as a whole class discussion lesson.

This covers angles on a line, in a triangle, in a quadrilateral and parallel lines both diagrams and worded. Angles in polygons is covered on another one. The joke had to be edited to fit but still as cheesy as one would hope.

These are levelled/graded worksheets covering the GCSE curriculum and split up into topics. Each individual sheet builds from the most straightforward elements of the topic through to the most challenging. At the top of each sheet is a “RAG” table for students to complete before and/or after completing each section; every statement in a RAG table is connected to a section in the sheet. I have produced these for two reasons: firstly to allow my Year 11 students to focus their revision on the areas that will make it most efficient and secondly to have a bank of worksheets available that students can differentiate themselves for any GCSE topic within lessons. Now with contents page and updated in December 2018!

These are homework sheets which also contain a QR code to a tutorial video if the students require. I have used similar before and parents (and children) have found the QR code very useful and should avoid the “I don’t get it” excuse as they can get help via the QR code. The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include algebraic fractions, completing the square, expanding one and two brackets, factorising (including quadratics), rearranging formulae, simulataneous equations, solving quadratica (factorising and completing the square/quadratic formula) and trial and improvement. Each comes with answers too.

This worksheet cover negative quadratic graphs. The curves are drawn and students must find the equations using the roots. They can then solve simultaneous equations using their graphs, both y = a number and y= mx+c and we finish off with some differentiation and calculating of gradients and normals. There are 4 parts to this so you can stop or start at the appropriate level for your class.

This is a worksheet to solve quadratics graphically, incuding three horizontal lines (y = a number) and two linear functions in the form y = mx+c. The trapeze artist bit just brings in a touch of "real life". I have left this as a Word document to allow for editing. All graphs need to be plotted by the students. Slly typo corrected!

I use these as a break from the "past paper drudgery" in the run up to exams. The questions are taken from past papers (amended in some cases). The idea is to answer each question fully then scan the QR code linked to the correct answer to form a code. Each QR code (correct or incorrect to avoid "cheating") scans to a song or artist that contains a number or colour, so this generates the code.

This was an idea I had in on the way to work one morning - Clive makes mistakes on his homework and you need to correct them, explaining the mistake he's made in each case. I intend to use this as a plenary or starter to check learning etc. They should create discussion too. There are 5 different mistakes to correct.

There are two codebreakers, each furnished with a terrible joke. The first deals with positive powers only, the second deals with fractional and negative powers. Designed for a quick homework or plenary.

Four "spiders" to practise bounds. Starting simple, moving on to rounding to the nearest centimetre then significant figures. This does nothing special but will hopefully make students think and encourage discussion about bounds.

These are all available for free individually but if you want them without searching then this is for you. The activities are designed to create discussion in class and make the students think. Each file has a minimum of 4 spiders to complete.

Erica is taking A level mathematics but is making silly errors in her homework. Can your students spot and correct the errors, explaining what Erica has done wrong. These are designed to create discussion and reinforce understanding of the topics. This is thefirst A level version of "Clumsy Clive" which covers the GCSE curriculum.

These are all available for free individually but if you want them without searching then this is for you. The activities are designed to create discussion in class and make the students think as well as getting them to set out a solution clearly and logically. Each file has numerous "explosions" to complete.
