Two lessons on solving inequalities. One with just the algebra and the second includes forming them from worded situations. The powerpoints have been made to go with exercises from 10 Ticks that are indicated on the title screen. If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
Powerpoints and worksheets (good as unit tests) for the entire FP2 course, in a similar style to my other A-level stuff. Made for the Edexcel Pearson books but can probably be adapted for other courses. There is a simple geogebra file that goes with the Further Complex numbers PPT, but you'll have to edit the hyperlink! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here (There is a lot of A-level work!) :)
2 lessons on the aforementioned topics. There is a selection of harder questions to challenge the more able on the each sheet and a demonstration of where the formula for the curved surface area of a cone comes from. If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
Please note that presentations for the new Edexcel textbooks can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-level-further-mechanics-1-as-and-a2-11888394
Powerpoint to be used to explain how to use Trigonometry in 3D shapes. Includes a starter, main explanation and a plenary. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
This is a topic that is quite hard to explain but hopefully this 2 lesson sequence will help. Pupils should already know how to plot linear and quadratic graphs and this builds up to using the graph of one equation to solve a different one. Everything needed is here but you will need to write on the powerpoint in parts. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
Set of powerpoints to help with the teaching of the A-level Mechanics 3 course. These have been mapped to the edexcel textbooks in a similar way to my other A-level stuff and have chapter tests made up of old exam questions, with mark schemes included. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
Pupils roll dice and simplify the fractions they get on the grid, with the person with the biggest fraction getting a point. I usually play 10 rounds and then pupils move round and play someone else. They can also discuss at the end whether the game was fair and how to determine whether it was or wasn't. Sometimes if the class is small I record results on the board (like football scores) and get them to draw a up a league table!

A lesson covering rules for finding interior and exterior angles in polygons. Includes a worksheet with answers and a load of challenge questions from the UKMT papers.
I really like to use this with the excellent 'Angles in Polygons Challenge' worksheet uploaded by the legendary Tristan Jones! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/angles-in-polygons-challenge-6443005
Pupils learn to calculate the volume of pyramids and cones using the relevant formula. There is a selection of harder questions to challenge the more able on the sheet. In the powerpoint is a link to a demonstration of the formula (not involving calculus as students studying this topic most likely will not have encountered this yet!). The video is NOT my own work - credit goes to mathematicsonline for that! If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
A while ago I uploaded a set of resources on calculating the areas of shapes on flags, see here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/areas-of-flags-6327719
A number of people messaged me asking if I had one for circles - and here is is now! I had to get creative with finding flags I could use, and I’d recommend that you have already had a lesson on Area and Circumference before this, as the questions get very challenging! Thank you to @1hannahjones for making a number of corrections and clarifications!

Pupils have to split shapes into congruent pairs by drawing lines on them. Makes teaching congruency more interesting and there is an extension activity for more investigation. You will need to write on some of the powerpoint slides! Thanks to Jim Noble (@teachmaths, http://www.teachmathematics.net/) for the idea!

These lessons are designed to go with the IGCSE course and the CIE Extended textbook. The first shows pupils how to transform a shape by multiplying its coordinates by a Matrix, and pupils should experiment to see if they can find any specific transformations. The second lesson, pupils are shown how to work out a specific transformation. These follow on from my other resource on Matrix Algebra (also on TES). If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff! :)
2 lesson sequence on Completing the Square. The first lesson pupils are introduced to the pattern and how to rewrite expressions under various conditions. The second lesson pupils actually use the process to solve equations. This has been made to go with our IGCSE textbooks but I imagine most courses structure it in a similar way! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)
Lesson on using the Quadratic formula with Pythagoras' Theorem to answer questions involving right-angled triangles with all sides unknown, but with information linking them. Will probably challenge even the most able of GCSE students!

I had an idea like this a while ago but recently saw it again in a magazine so I decided to put it together as a lesson in my usual way. Pupils find formulae for quadratic sequences by considering patterns of dots and their shapes, rather than the actual numbers involved. There is a second lesson here as well where they can work backwards and create patterns of dots that fit a given formula... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
Pupils practice Standard Form (which they should be familiar with before this lesson is taught), and learn about many of the prefixes used. For example changing milligrams to micrograms, how big is a yottametre compared to a picometre etc. Why say 1000 kilometres when you could just say 1 Megametre? They usually find all the names of units quite interesting! If you like this resource then please have a look at my other stuff on here! :)
Pupils plot coordinates based on rules. This is effectively graph plotting but without using the formal algebra. The powerpoint is set up in such a way that certain sections should be written on and the worksheet has plenty of questions! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
EDIT: 1/4/14 Improved the visibility of the gridlines on the sheet.
Powerpoints and Worksheets for 2 lessons on Histograms. One where the pupils learn to draw them and one with a recap of drawing as well as how to interpret some simple questions. Some can be done directly from the board with pupils discussing how to answer the questions given. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

3 lessons of powerpoints and worksheets covering drawing and using Cumulative Frequency Curves and Box Plots. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
