Perfect resource for teaching Foundation pupils error intervals and bounds. This is new GCSE content and has been seen on June 2017 Edexcel and AQA examination papers (4 marks on offer). The resource is split into two sections. Section 1 - Pupils state the error intervals. 5 model questions (with animated answers) and a further 20 questions, including a CATCHPHRASE activity. Answer: Half Baked. Section 2 - Pupils solve problems using error intervals (e.g. minimum & maximum perimeter). 4 questions that the teacher can use to model and a further 8 questions on a worksheet to practice.

Perfect resource for teaching pupils how to expand triple brackets - new grade 9-1 GCSE content. Starter: Expanding double brackets x2 questions. The resource includes 3 (fully animated) practice questions. I personally use grid method to avoid common mistakes made by pupils. There are then 9 practice questions with answers. DIFFERENTIATED to stretch the most able pupils. 3 questions require pupils to form expressions for the volume of a cuboid, triangular prism and cube. This is a CATCHPHRASE activity. Pupils answer questions to reveal a picture - 'Hole in One'.

Perfect resource for teaching pupils how to form and solve equations. All worded problems - angles in a triangle, ages of three different people etc. Very similar style to the question on Edexcel GCSE June 2017 (see example image). Helps pupils to form expressions and combine them to form and solve equations. Five example questions (with answers) and eight practice questions on Powerpoint / separate worksheet.

Ideal resource for teaching pupils converting to and from ordinary numbers and standard form. There are four sections to the resource - each has some questions for the teacher to model with pupils and a slide with practice questions (some with extension style questions). Section 1: Converting big numbers (e.g. 340000) to standard form + Practice Questions Section 2: Converting small numbers (e.g. 0.0005) to standard form + Practice Questions There is also a catchphrase activity with 25 mixed questions covering sections 1 and 2 - clicking on a square reveals part of a picture.

Section 3: Converting standard form to ordinary numbers (big numbers) + Practice Questions Section 4: Converting standard form to ordinary numbers (small numbers) + Practice Questions

This resource is perfect for teaching problem solving style algebra questions (e.g. suited to the new style 1-9 GCSE questions). It is split into two sections, both involve forming equations with 'x' on both sides and solving. Section 1: Students are given two side lengths in algebra (e.g. opposite sides of a rectangle) that are equal. Students then need to form and solve an equation to find the value of 'x'. Section 2: Students are given a rectangle and a triangle. Students need to use the algebraic side lengths to find the area (e.g. side lengths of 2x + 4 and 3 would create an area of 6x + 12) and then need to form and solve an equations to find the value of 'x'. Extension: Students to substitute their values to find the area. This is also a ueful check to see whether they have the correct answer. Answers included in the notes section of the slide.

Ideal resource for teaching bank statements to GCSE pupils. This has been created to be similar to the new style GCSE questions that are now on the AQA practice papers (and on the June 2017 paper!) It includes the following: Two bank statements where the teacher can model how to complete the statement. Six practice questions (on the separate worksheet) where pupils need to work out the closing balances.

Ideal resource for introducing pupils to forming and solving equations. All questions are of the style like the following. " I think of a number. I times it by 5, then subtract 3. My answer is 17. What was the number I was thinking of?" Form an equation and solve. It starts with asking pupils to create 'one-step' equations, then moves onto two-step equations. There is a two sided worksheet with plenty of questions on both one step and two step equations. I have also included an extension slide with three step equations and double sided eqautions. This resource is tried and tested on all levels of pupils / all years and has worked really well.

Ideal resource for teaching pupils how to form and solve equations when you are given the perimeter and given side lengths in algebra OR when side lengths are given using algebra and are equal (e.g. opposite sides of a rectangle). Includes the following: Two practice questions where pupils are given shapes that have side lengths using algebra (e.g. 2x + 3, 3x - 4). Pupils need to form an expression for the perimeter and make it equal to the given perimeter. There is then a slide with 8 questions for pupils to practice. Two pratice questions where pupils are given a rectangle / isosceles triangle and use the fact that there are pairs of equal sides to form an equation and solve (e.g. 4x - 3 = 2x + 7). There is then a slide with 8 questions for pupils to practice. Finally there is a slide with 8 questions (different styles) for pupils to use as revision.

Ideal set of resources for teaching pupils how to answer questions that require them to apply known angle facts and solve to fin the value of 'x'. Includes the following: Two examples (triangle and quadrailateral) where angles are given using algebra. Students need to form an equation equal to either 180 or 360. There is then a slide with 8 questions for practice. Two practice examples (straight line and around a point) where angles are given using algebra. Students need to form an equation equal to either 180 or 360. There is then a slide with 8 questions for practice. Two practice examples (Trapezium and Parallelogram) where two Co-Interior angles are given using algebra. Students need to form an equation equal to 180. There is then a slide with 8 questions (mixed triangle, quadrilateral, trapezium and parallelogram) for practice. Three practice examples (Alternate, Corresponding and Co-Interior) where pupils need to form equations and solve to find 'x'. There is a worksheet (attached) with six additional questions to practice. Easily enough for a few lessons on this topic. Thanks for looking.
