A really fun and unusual lesson using a piece of sheet music to collect data using a tally chart, interpret from a tally chart, present the data in a bar chart and pie chart and further interpret the data using a real-life question. Very enjoyable and no knowledge or prior understanding of sheet music needed. Also Christmas themed (the song used is Jingle Bells) so great for engaging students at that time of year.

A resource for teaching or revising addition and subtraction of decimals. Includes a section to be done on whiteboards, animated explanations for different situations, practice questions and problem solving question to finish.

A resource for teaching or revising multiplication by a single digit (e.g. 24 x 5, 128 x 3) . Was written for short multiplication method but could easily be adapted to other methods. Includes explanation, example questions and worded problems.

Full lesson on risk. Includes talk-inducing starter, risk diagrams, practice questions, risk matrix and problem solving questions. Great for students who like to work in groups or pairs.

A presentation introducing changing the subject of a formula at an advanced level. I used this with a Y11 Level 2 Further Maths group but it would be great for Y12 too. Includes presentation, practice questions and a challenge at the end (deriving the quadratic formula - something I didn’t do until I got to university but my Y11’s did great!)

A presentation recapping negative and fractional indices and introducing solving equations with negative and fractional indices. Lots of example questions WITH ANSWERS!

A presentation introducing the concept of algebraic proof with worked examples. Includes lots of practice questions and a sheet of examples from simple to really quite complicated.

A presentation introducing the second derivative. Includes examples (with solutions) and applications.

A presentation introducing students to the concept of upper and lower bounds. Includes worked examples, problem solving questions and differentiated practice questions.

A resource for memorising the averages mean, median, mode and also range (the classic poem). Presentation is set up to cover up a few words at a time so students can learn it by heart. Works great getting them to recite it aloud. Also a few practice questions at the end.

A lesson to recap how to convert between different units, includes units of area and how we must square the conversion factor, and some problem solving questions.

An introductory presentation to indices for Core 2 A level mathematics. Includes a recap of what they should know already, the 4 main log laws with worked examples, and some questions to test themselves.

A starter on circle theorems. All you need to do is print out the sheets (single sided) and cut up each line / where there is a “|” indicating an additional cut. Give a pack to pairs of students and ask them to rearrange the parts of the sentences to make the circle theorem statements. A great way to help students get the statements in their heads!

A set of short investigations around square number patterns. A really fun lesson and works great if done with groups carousel-style.

A bit of a mash-up lesson revising Surds, Rationalising the Denominator, Expanding Brackets, Factorisation and Difference of 2 Squares and includes advanced practice questions on all of the above (up to A* GCSE level). I used this with a Y11 group who had completed the GCSE syllabus but were taking Level 2 Further Maths and it worked great as in introduction to concepts they had seen before but taken to the most advanced level. Lots of practice questions included.

Two presentations demonstrating the different methods of solving simultaneous equations, including graphically.

A couple of lessons on related calculations (e.g. if we know 4 x 6 = 24 what is 0.4 x 6?) Presentation is fully animated. Also contains worksheets with practice questions

A lesson including worksheets for estimating with measurements. Suitable for low ability KS3 but would also suit KS2. A really fun and interactive lesson which many of my students have enjoyed in the past - especially great for students who work well in small groups and while moving around the classroom.

A presentation and worksheet introducing matrix transformations of points. The worksheet is particularly useful as it will help students in future to help identify the relationship between the matrix and the geometrical transformation. I used this with Y11 Level 2 Further Maths students but would be great for Y12 too.

A great introductory or revision lesson on factors, primes and multiples. Lots of interactive activities and good explanations. Includes a grid puzzle and a worksheet / homework sheet.
