This hopefully covers all bases involving fractions, decimals and percentages from simplifying up to converting recurring decimals to fractions and everything inbetween.

The students are given the answer and asked to fill in the gaps in the question. Topics used involve probability, equations, simultaneous equations, fractions, percentages, ratio, speed, distance, time and many others. Some of the questions allow for multiple answers so discussion could be had. Designed to be used as starters/plenaries to get the grey matter moving. The Christmas theme runs through every question and is a tad tenuous at times but there you go.

A series of lessons taking students through 'I think of a number' problems to simple equations, equations with brackets to letters on both sides to equations with fractional parts.

I've recently discovered this in my folders on my computer. It is a 10 question non-calculator quiz using real situations.

Taking you through counting squares, to rectangle/triangles/parallelograms/trapeziums to compound shapes, circles, cuboids, prisms, sectors/arc lengths, cones, spheres and frustums (phew!). Complete with success criteria etc.

Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.

Notes, examples and questions to do on simple powers, simplifying indices, surds, rationalising the denominators and mutliplying out two brackets.

A series of real-life graphs that are misleading in some way. Nice for a discussion activity.

Practice on the function notation (new to GCSE!) involving substituting into a function and finding the value of x given what f(x) equals. This also involves composite functions. This should hopefully encourage your class to talk about their answers and understanding of the topic. Now includes an extra "find the inverse" slide!

Six slides each containing five questions where students need to decide if the answer given is correct and explain how they have arrived at their conclusion. Topics include whether a coordinate lies on a line given its equation, y=mx+c, equations of curves (quadratics, cubics, reciprocals), gradient, These are designed to generate discussion in class.

Around 25 codebreakers (answer the questions, reveal the punchline to a joke) in this bundle. There are a number aimed at covering parts of the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but also ones covering topics on the GCSE curriculum too. Each of these is individually available for free but if you want all of them they are available here.

This set of resources (four PowerPoints and a booklet) are populated with Maths topics that often appear in school entrance exams to Year 9 having looked at numerous examples from various schools. The PowerPoints are split in to Number, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics & Probability and include worked examples and questions to do. The booklet contains questions and answers involving the topics covered in the PowerPoints.

These are all available for free individually but if you want them without searching then this is for you. The activities are designed to create discussion in class and make the students think. Each file has a minimum of 4 spiders to complete.

This is a powerpoint covering muliples, factors, primes, HCF, LCM before going on to directed/negative numbers. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

Here are 26 codebreakers on all sorts of topics including vectors, capture-recapture, value for money, compound measures, transformations, properties of number, circle theorems, set notation amongst other topics. These have been successful in class and during online lessons and these have been uploaded individually for free over the past year or so.

Twenty two codebreakers on various topics including bearings, similarity, scale drawing, simultaneous equations (linear/quadratic), circles, angles, transforming functions, metric units, Pythagoras and trigonometry and 3D views. The usual format of correct answers revealing the punchline to a cheesy joke.

These are levelled/graded worksheets covering the GCSE curriculum and split up into topics. Each individual sheet builds from the most straightforward elements of the topic through to the most challenging. At the top of each sheet is a “RAG” table for students to complete before and/or after completing each section; every statement in a RAG table is connected to a section in the sheet. I have produced these for two reasons: firstly to allow my Year 11 students to focus their revision on the areas that will make it most efficient and secondly to have a bank of worksheets available that students can differentiate themselves for any GCSE topic within lessons. This is all of them in one bundle (essentially all four for the price of three). Now with contents page and updated in December 2018!

This is a powerpoint covering all types of statistical graph from pictogram to histogram with lots inbetween. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

This is a powerpoint covering all aspects of sets and venn diagrams required for GCSE. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready.
