In this project students take a leading role designing a new school building to be placed somewhere on their existing school site. The project is split into 6 parts: Initial designs, Final design, Material costing, Labour costing, Fittings Costing and Summary/Presentation. There is a PowerPoint that explains the entire project and a word document with as many of the likely costs that I have managed to think of. I ran this last year and it was very successful, I have made a few tweaks since. You will need to change the google maps image of my school to your own school, but that is all. My students completed the project partly on A3 and partly on Laptops. Mathmetical content involved is Area, Perimeter, Scale Drawing, Unit Conversion and Finance. Though many pupils can extend into things like Pythagoras and Trigonometry if their final design is fairly advanced/in-depth enabling the project to work across KS3 and KS4.

I have found the 1957 O Level Maths Papers produced by the University of London, and put them into a nice A3 display size with an ‘old paper texture’ feel. These could be used in class as some interesting extra practice, or as a display on your walls (like mine). There are 10 A3 portrait pages that cover all the different Pure Maths Papers for 1957 including ‘Arithmetic & Trigonometry’, ‘Algebra’, ‘Geometry’ and ‘History of Mathematics’.

Welcome! Here is this year’s End of Term Summer quiz with all new questions for 2024, to provide you and your students with a little bit of fun. This quiz was built using Genially rather than PPoint which has always has compatability issues. Genially just needs an internet browser :-) It can also be updated without me re-uploading and you re-downloading! The quiz is 8 rounds totalling 80 marks: Picture round (with optional timer) Monthly Roundup Music General Knowledge Movies Subjects (2 Maths, 2 English, 3 Science, 1 Geography, 1 History, 1 Environment) True or False The quiz is aimed at the full range of Secondary School students. It should keep you busy for about one hour depending on your pace (and the class). Printable sheet for students to fill in answers is included. Keep an eye out for offers, I will do an early bird offer to give you the opportunity to buy at the lowest price TES will allow. Have fun, please review if you like it and feel free to contact me with any problems. NB all images used are from Pixabay & free to use.

Hoping to make Excel easy! Here is a spreadsheet that allows you to create your own report templates and then merge them together for your students. I have done all the hard bits for you, you simply write the templates, then put in the student names and bits of data you wish to include and then pick the template/s you wish to apply to that student and the report will automatically generate. The spreadsheet is fully adaptable and should work for many different scenarios. I have also written a short guide for anyone who needs it. This is the third resource in a little series of spreadsheets I have been producing recently (see my shop).

Hoping to make Excel easy! Here is a fully functioning Register to keep track of the attendance of all of your students. You can include multiple classes and even multiple tutors. The spreadsheet also offers some analysis of the data, by class or by tutor. Although I have done all the hard bits for you, it will still take a little understanding to get up and running (5mins tops). So I have written a short guide to take you through it. This is the first in a little series of spreadsheets I hope to produce over the next few months (see my shop).

Hoping to make Excel easy! Here is a fully functioning Spreadsheet to record test scores for all of your students. You can include multiple classes and even multiple tutors. The spreadsheet also offers in-built analysis of the data, by class, by tutor or even by student. I have done all the hard bits for you, however, particularly for the analysis section you may want to read the very short guidance attached to understand how it works and how you can use it :-) This is the second resource in a little series of spreadsheets I have been producing recently (see my shop).

This is a free sample version of the full game that can be found in my author page. (Direct > https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12680052) In the full version: Get your students a device and set them free on this GCSE Maths ‘escape room’ (which actually has multiple rooms). There are 7 levels, each level has a puzzle and a challenge. The puzzle is not particularly Maths related; the challenges are. This escape room is based around Number (future ones planned around other key areas…), topics covered in the challenges are: Times tables Long multiplication/division & checking answers Definitions (crossword) Equivalent fractions Percentage of amount Adding & Subtracting with negatives Currency conversion There is also a ‘bonus’ at the end which allows a student to catch up if they forgot to write down some key elements whilst moving through the game, this has another 7 Maths questions. Questions are all pitched around GCSE foundation level. I hope students (and maybe teachers) will find this fun, it would be a good light-hearted revision lesson or end of term lesson. I imagine most classes will take around an hour completing the game. If they finish early, they could be encouraged to think about designing their own. There is a ‘login’ on slide 1 which allows teachers to jump to the different levels in one-click with the password.

A complete set of assessments for all Pure and Applied YEAR 1 chapters in the Pearson Edexcel textbook. Note that for the Applied chapters, I have grouped some together, this was due to both the material being quite small and time-management (i.e. trying to complete the course in time). Questions are sourced from a variety of topics but mainly past paper questions and questions from the reviews and mixed exercises in the textbook. Solutions are written by me and complete. Mark schemes are ‘partial’, in that where a question is sourced from past papers I have put the mark scheme at the end of the paper. Where the question is from the textbook, I have just put a reference to find the question. In the first couple of tests for Pure there are a few missing a reference as I had not decided on a system when creating them and cannot now find where they are from! I will be working on the Year 2 assessments through the academic year 24/25 so will be complete for the year 25/26.
