Full lesson on calculating estimates of the mean from a grouped distribution. Powerpoint shows how the theory works and then 3 leveled resource which students can write on tests their knowledge. Finding the modal class and the interval which contains the median is covered but is not the main objective. Answers not included but the spreadsheet could be programmed to calculate the answers.

Full lesson on introduction to inequalities Powerpoint animated to show what the symbols mean. How we represent them using full and empty circle. Listing integer solutions Fully differentiated resource with three levels of difficulty. Students write on the resource. Students can measure their own progress at end in plenary and ask questions. No answers included

A complete lesson which takes students through how to find the mean, median, mode and range when given discrete data in a table. Lesson includes a starter, the Powerpoint for to show the students how to tackle the work and a fully differentiated resource which includes notes and space for students to write their solutions. There is also a built in plenary section for students to assess their progress. Answers not included.

Complete lesson on creating and use of a sample space diagram for probability. Fully animated powerpoint shows students why we need them and how they work. Fully differentiated resource allows students to write their answers on the sheet. Three levels with a challenging profit and loss question on the hardest level (level 3). No solutions given. Bonus is an interactive two dice horse race game. This is a macro on an excel sheet and so will need setting up on your computer.

Complete lesson on listing the inequalities that define a shaded region on a graph. Fully animated Powerpoint showing students how to name the line, decide whether to use strict inequalities. Fully differentiated resource goes from multi-choice (level 1) to advanced (level 3). Resource contains student notes and plenary evaluation section. No solutions given.

Complete lesson where students will shade the region defined by 2 or more inequalities. Fully animated powerpoint shows students how to complete the work. Full differentiated (3 levels) task sheet complete with blank grids for students to write on. Students get a set of notes at the start of the task and a plenary to complete at the end. No solutions given.

Complete lesson for more able students to show them how to solve linear inequalities and represent their solutions on a number line. Powerpoint fully explains method using traditional “do the same to both sides” approach. It also discusses dividing by negatives and how this can be avoided by adding the x to both sides. Fully differentiated (three levels) write on resource with student notes section and a self-evaluation plenary section. No answers included.

Everything a foundation student needs to be aware of in the shape and space strand. From the basics of shape naming and counting methods for area, through to area of plane shapes (including circle and trapezia), these 15 minute assessments can be used as homeworks or in lessons to review the students' understanding of content aimed at those targeting a grade 4. Answers not included.

9 documents on one spreadsheet that will give quick revision of all of the basic skills needed at foundation level for students targetting grade 4 or 5. Topics include scatter diagrams, pie charts (draw and interpret), averages and probability. Answers not included. Can be used as revision, homeworks are plenary activities

The second lesson that follows on from lesson A. In this lesson the students will expand a bracket and then simplify with another two terms under addtion and subtraction. The resource is differentiated and the first level of questions expands the brackets for the student and asks them to simplify. The second level sess students expand their own brackets and simplify under addition. The third level includes negative numbers. The resource can be printed into a booklet so that students can write on. Answers are not supplied. There is also a mental starter of 10 questions.

An introduction to rotational symmetry: a topic for some reason all lower ability students accept and then forget! The fully animated powerpoint shows the tracing of a shape and spinning it around 1 full revolution. Other examples are then shown. The fully differentiated resource goes from 1 star (multi choice) to 3 star (demanding complete the shape so that it has rotational symmetry type questions). All tasks can be printed and written on, although you may have to adjust the dimensions of the sheet so that it prints near perfect square grids (this will affect the quarter turns). Answers are not given

Multiple lessons and resources to take a KS3/4 class from the very start of simultaneous equations through to more complex examples. I teach it via matching the coefficient of the middle term and then applying different sign add or same sign subtract. The powerpoint takes the students through the phases of the work where, at first the coefficients match. Then students will have to multiply through to enable a match. Finally there is manipulation of both equations required. At least 5 different resources, many of which can be written on and some answers are contained. Homework task is available also.

A classic lesson that introduced students to how to calculate the mean. The resource is fully differentiated and can be written on. It contains standard calculate the mean questions and the reverse questions where students are asked to complete a set of cards whose mean is given. There is a code-breaker exercise included

An entire lesson for students working at grades 1/2/3. There is a starter of 10 multi-choice questions (with answers), a powerpoint which takes students through how to expand brackets of the type a(bx + c), a fully differentiated resource which students can write on. The first level is multi-choice and the other levels are written solutions (note the answers to the questions are not supplied). There is a "check out" which I use as a plenary to assess what learning has taken place.

The final lesson in the series on algebraic simplification gives students a chance to simplify any type of expression under the addition/subtraction/multiplication operators. Students are told when they should be counting like terms and when they should be adjusting powers. The fully differentiated resource goes from one star (easy) which is multi-choice to three star (hard). Answers not included.

The third lesson in a series slowly allowing students to master the simplification of expressions. The powerpoint talks students through what we do when we simplify expressions such as 3a multiplied by 2b. The fully differentiated resource which can be written on starts with one star (easy) which is multi-choice and progresses through more advanced expressions which need simplifying. Answers not included.

A lesson that gets students to evaluate integrals with limits. The students will have practised how to integrate expressions and will not yet be told as to the role of the limits. This will give them practise at substituting the numbers and subtracting. The powerpoint takes the students through this process and then there is a fully differentiated resource complete with model answers, all of which have been checked.

Full lesson on Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path in a network. Fully animated powerpoint takes students slowly through the process of labelling the nodes and selecting which nodes will form part of the solution. The lesson resource is fully write-on and will only need printing (answers are included). There is another resource which covers more basic practice questions (with answers given).

Three differentiated grids for quick fire revision created to help students review the content of our first module of study in school. Ideal for preparation for end of module examinations or homeworks. Each grid contains 20 questions based on number skills, ratio, proportion, simple algebra manipulation, angle theory, perimeter. There is an easy version (1 star) and a harder version (2 star) and students can select (or be guided) to the side that they wish to attempt. All in all 120 questions…but no answers (you have to work them out yourselves!).

An entire lessons devoted to re-visiting the various equations a lower ability foundation student (or younger student) will have to tackle. This goes from one step (x + a = b) through to classic two step (ax + b = c), through brackets (a(bx+c)=d) and finally letters on both sides (ax+b=cx+d). The equations are nearly all positive integer solutions and so can be solved without a calculator. The resource can be written on and is full differentiated from 1 star (lots of support and little variation in the style) to 3 star (simply the equation). I have included another document which is a little more watered down. The powerpoint takes students through how to solve equations by inverse operations. Note there are no answers to the task
