A lesson I have adapted from other TES users on Capture Recapture.
Includes video with information about where the method came from - applied to London black cabs.
I would recommend using Edexcel topic based questions to go with this lesson.

A sequence of lessons on Factorising Trinomials (Quadratics with a co-efficient of x sqd) designed for a high ability KS3 or KS4 group.
Prior knowledge of Factorising Quadratics is required - a lesson on this can be found here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-ks4-factorising-quadratics-whole-lesson-with-homework-11772896
The structure of factorisation is clearly shown and starter activities are used to highlight key topics covered over the previous weeks.
Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion.
Please use and let me know what you think.
I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).
Whilst reading the Economist I saw a Venn Diagram which illustrated the 4 main political parties policies and so I created a version where the pupils can discuss which policies relate to which political party.
I found it useful in Tutor Time to start a discuss around the General Election and it can also be used as an introduction to Venn Diagrams (real life context).
A series of lessons introducing Vectors and the notation surrounding this. The aim of the lessons is to deepen students thinking about Vectors introduce the ideas around parallel and perpendicular vectors and finding resultants.
There is some Vectors with Geometry questions at the end which are not very difficult.
Pupils would need to go on and attempt exam style questions are this series of lessons.

A lesson on finding the circumference of a circle using real life circular objects to engage a low KS4 class.
Some resources used are from other TES users - please let me know if this is you and I will credit your work.

A quick recap of solving equations from Grade E to B. Used with a group who already have knowledge of this topic to reinforce the concepts before an assessment.
A lesson on completing and setting up two way tables.
Interactive lesson with feedback from pupils. Football points scores were correct near the end of last season (2015). Also included are the worksheets I used for the activities.

A lesson prepared for a KS3 group on Bearings. There is an introduction to the topic and a worksheet from CIMT which links in to the lesson objective.
Please use and let me know what you think.
A lesson which begins with pupils discovering Pi through measuring circular objects.
I have uploaded the worksheet with the examples of objects I used and space for an additional cylinder.
This then leads into finding the circumference and area of a circle.
A series of lessons on finding percentages of amounts, both with and without a calculator.
Designed for a KS3 class with lots of questions and activities built into the powerpoint.
The cross-number was not made by me - credit goes to Miss Brookes Maths but it is so good I have included it here. If anyone would like me to remove this please let me know.

A lesson on Volume of 3D Shapes, starting with cuboids and progressing up to triangular prisms and cylinders. There are activities built in which support the lessons. In addition to this, there is a worksheet to help support pupils who need more practice on the topic.
Questions are all provided within the powerpoint and some are taken from Tristan Jones excellent worksheets he provides on TES (see below).

A lesson I have adapted from other TES users over the years.
This lesson begins with a problem and an interactive GIF to demonstrate Pythagoras theorem visually.
There are some superb activities here and problems to make students think carefully about applying Pythagoras theorem in different contexts.
It is up to you to explore and deepen pupils understanding!
A worksheet that I also made which increases steadily in difficulty is attached.
Please use, share and let me know what you think.
A lesson I planned on 3D Pythagoras with some Trig extention tasks for a high ability KS4 class.
The worksheet I made to go alongside this lesson is also attached.
The lesson is centred around developing problem skills and applying pythagoras theorem in a 3D context.
Please use, share and let me know what you think.
A lesson I have planned on prime factor decomposition.
There is a bingo activity on HCF / LCM and a nice exploration around applications of HCF / LCM.
Leads to use of Venn Diagrams.
Please use, share and let me know what you think.
A lesson I planned for an observation around forming and solving equations. This lesson is designed to deepen students thinking of equations and their applications.
There is a fun code breaker activity too.
Please use, share and let me know what you think.
A lesson on reflection aimed at a low ability Y9 group.
The worksheet is heavily scaffolded and provides lots of practice of reflecting shapes in horizontal and vertical lines.
The plenary activity involves reflecting in diagonal lines also.
Please use and let me know what you think.
A lesson on finding the volume of a cylinder. There is questions included here which I found from another TES user and I have added answers.
There is a video I have made which includes a problem with water filling a cylindrical glass. The students have to identify how to find the volume of the glass using their knowledge.
