Improved version of an older resource of mine. Pupils are shown some simple graphs (horizontal, vertical, and diagonals based on y = x and y = -x), and have to try and use these graphs to create shapes. It is essential that pupils always label their lines and for the plenaries they can share some of their answers on the board.

Lesson on using Probability to decide whether games are worth playing, based on the cost of playing and the potential winnings. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Quite a varied selection of Diagrams for pupils to try and interpret and draw conclusions from. A bit more interesting than the standard Bar/Line/Pie Chart or Pictogram lesson! I usually print these as colour A4 booklets and give the students 2 lessons to work through them and explain their thoughts. If you liked this resource then please check out my others (all free!)

This resource contains 3 sets of graphs to be matched with their transformations. There is also a question sheet with extra problems based on each set. The graphs were all produced for this resource using the fantastic Desmos graphing tool (www.desmos.com).

I use this lesson after teaching pupils some of the basics of Algebra. They perform 2 operations on a number and write down the answer. Then, they swap the operations around and write the answer for that as well. They should notice that the difference between the answers follows some kind of pattern, and then have to try and use some algebra to explain it.

Pupils should work in pairs or threes, drawing right-angled triangles of various sizes in their books. They then work out the height to base ratio and the angle that goes with them (effectively creating a 'Tan' table). There is then some discussion of how to use this to answer questions. You will have to write on the powerpoint at some point! You could probably then create a follow up lesson which is a bit more practical...

Before doing this lesson, pupils should have seen perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, and constructing a perpendicular from a point to a line. The idea in this lesson is that pupils get asked, 'Where is the centre of a triangle?', and have to come up with ways to define what this means, and see if they can use a compass, ruler and pencil to find it. I tend to just pose the question and let them go to town on it! I have included some possibilities and how to construct them, but its more down to them to decide for themselves. There are also hyperlinks in blue where you can show them in more detail, and there are often some puzzled expressions when it seems possible that the centre isn't even in the triangle. Can even bring in centre of mass too! :) If you liked this resource, please check out my other stuff on TES! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/search/?f=authorId%5B2095097%5D

Pupils use angles and a bit of proportional reasoning to work out where some of the planets will be at a given time. They draw lines between them and if done accurately will end up with some lovely pursuit curves. Includes a plenary involving pi in case they have covered it as well! The starter is in the worksheet so you can give them a paper copy to do it on. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)
