Using marks from mock and other assessments you can use this spreadsheet and word document to create personalised revision checklists or feedback sheets. These would be great to use with year 11 students after mocks and information to provide to parents help them guide their young person. This makes mock data far more formative for students and parents.

This activity builds on students prior knowledge of substituting and leads into using function notation. I’ve used this activity as a starter with able year 10 classes for a lesson introducing function notation. The students were able to work out what the function notation must be on about from the sheet, which I then went through more formally. ‘Find someone who’ is a kagan structure.

This textbook study guide supports students in completely a minimum number of questions from each exercise and also doubles up as a Personalised Learning Checklist. Includes references to the exam board specification. This study guide is for the new MEI A Level Further Maths (2017) Statistics Minor module.

This engaging mini-murder mystery is ideal to be used to consolidate students knowledge of the Year 9 WhiteRose Straight Line graphs topic. With questions to identify misconceptions students might have. There are two versions a Foundation and Higher version. This could be used to summarise/ consolidate the knowledge from this topic or perhaps as DIT/ DIRT after the topic test. Small steps covered: Compare gradients Compare intercepts Understand and use y=mx+c Write an equation in the form y=mx+c (Higher version only) Find the equation of a line from a graph Explore perpendicular lines (Higher version only)

A Scheme of Learning for MEI AS Further Mathematics (2017 spec) Pure Core content. References to objectives from specification and to references to resources on Integral. For each topic there are the following sections on the Sheme of Learning: Differentiated Objectives from specification (Developing, Securing and Excelling which contains off spec ideas to extend the most able), Prior knowledge, Language and notation, Pedagogical notes, Reasoning opportunities and probing questions, Suggested Activities, Possible Misconceptions, Home Learning Opportunities, Assessment. There are two copies of the file included, one version as a PDF and the other as a MS Word file so you can edit the Scheme of Learning to fit your department’s needs.

A complete lesson on introducing or recaping the priority of operations (BIDMAS or BODMAS or PEDMAS). Starter: Recap of multiplication skills Activity 1: Discuss an example in context, leading into discussing priority of operations Activity 2: Parallel Examples. Teacher models how to answer a BIDMAS calculation and the students answer a ‘parallel’ question on mini-whiteboards. This questions build up in difficulty. Activity 3: Match equivalent calculations Activity 4: True or False - decide which calculations are correct and which are incorrect. Class discussion hooked around a ‘Chest of Truth’ activity. Activity 5: Plenary, students answer WILF questions in their exerise books or on mini-whiteboards to reflect on their progress during this lesson.

These study guides are designed to plan the independent study of students from the Hodder MEI 4th Edition Year 1 and Year 2 textbooks. They clearly list the objectives for each section in each chapter, along with recommend reading and questions to complete from each exercise. There is space for the students to tick the questions once they have completed them and for their teachers to mark off that they have checked the questions have been completed. These will be particularly helpful if you students are having to work independently from home. They work well printed off as A5 booklets. I personally use them to focus students on the really key questions I think they need to have completed as a minimum from the textbook to ensure they have been exposed to enough variety for the exam. I give students some lesson time to work through these indicated questions, and whilst supporting them check that they are completing the study guide questions and fill in the column on the booklet. I will ask students to complete questions from the exercise as part of their independent study.
