I teach sixth form maths students so most of my resources are aimed at A level maths. I have recently updated my resources to cover the new A level maths syllabus and I have produced PowerPoints that fully cover all of the new A level maths course. I also use a large a large amount of Notebook presentations because they are more flexible that PowerPoint. I have put a free resource on for you to try to show how the presentations work you can open it online using SMART Notebook Express website.

Matching maths jigsaw that forms together to make a Christmas tree. It covers basic skill so ideal for most levels, it is also possible to edit if you want to change any question/answers.
This large presentation introduces the modulus function and its graph. It covers how to sketch a modulus graph and also has questions for students to do. It then moves into solving modulus functions both algebraically and using the graphs.
SMART Notebook Express presentations can be used for free by using SMART online or by downloading SMART software, also free, I use it because it allows a more interactive presentation than a powerpoint. Just search 'SMART Notebook Express' and try it with my free SMART resource.
