This contains 4 solving equations activities of increasing difficulty. This encourages discussion and insists upon students showing their working.

This goes from discovering how c and m "work" in y=mx+c and then takes them through finding the gradient, finding an equation given a line, plotting a line from an equation and finally finding the equation given two points on the line. At the start of the sheet is a RAG analysis for them to demonstrate progress and target what they need to focus on.

This worksheet cover negative quadratic graphs. The curves are drawn and students must find the equations using the roots. They can then solve simultaneous equations using their graphs, both y = a number and y= mx+c and we finish off with some differentiation and calculating of gradients and normals. There are 4 parts to this so you can stop or start at the appropriate level for your class.

This is a worksheet to solve quadratics graphically, incuding three horizontal lines (y = a number) and two linear functions in the form y = mx+c. The trapeze artist bit just brings in a touch of "real life". I have left this as a Word document to allow for editing. All graphs need to be plotted by the students. Slly typo corrected!

The mandatory terrible joke revealed by finding some partial fractions. Sheet 2 involves the cover up rule and both involve fractional as well as negative numerators.

The usual terrible joke in a bid to get my A level students to remember the exact trig results. These are specifically for the A level curriculum as radians are involved and negative angles in number 3. Number one is available separately.

This is a worksheet with some questions on solving simultaneous equation in three sections. Section 1 is two linear equations; section 2 is a quadratic and y=n; section 3 is a quadratic and y=mx+c. The first two sections fit onto two sides of A4 and part 3 is the extension ultimately. There is a RAG table for students to mark their progress and this can be amended depending on how far you want to go. Students will need to plot graphs and estimate solutions as not all are integers. Typos corrected!

Much of this has been copied from GCSE and A Level and parts amended to fit the course. It obviously includes matrices, factor theorem and calculus that don’t appear in the Maths GCSE. Each topic gives the tools required for each topic, a couple of examples and some for the students to do themselves. Modified in the summer of 2020 to include product rule for counting, more on functions, simultaneous equations with three unknowns, trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations (including quadratics) and many other things.

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!

Each of these 20 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of number topics from fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, of an amount), percentages (of an amount, increase/decrease, repeated change), ratio (simplifying and sharing), indices (simplifying, negative and fractional) and negative numbers. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.

A colleague told me that I didn’t have anything on gradient and so I produced this. The worksheet hopefully leads students from finding a gradient of a line to drawing a line given its gradient to finding the equations of lines and so on. There are 8 sections and a challenge in each section to allow students to prove that they are capable of some quite complex mathematics. It ends with finding the equation of a line given two points on that line but is designed for you to drop in and out at a place of your choosing. Typo corrected!

This worksheet has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. This one covers linear sequences (finding their nth terms) and contains an answer sheet. I use these as starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this topic" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too.

This worksheet has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip.

I have used them as quick homework tasks too.

Each of these 21 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of algebra topics from solving equations to linear graphs (including parallel and perpendicular lines), inequalities, algebraic fractions, simplifying expressions, linear sequences and substitution. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.

This is a Christmas-themed idea I came up with where students answer the questions (the solutions are 1 to 24) and each answer links to a word; put the words in numerical order and an entire joke is revealed! My students are actually enjoying them quite a lot.

One of these (an "Advent calendar") is available for free but not all I'm afraid but there are a variety of new Christmas maths resources including two new codebreakers and two transformation codebreakers all of which contain a lame joke to discover. On top of this are my new idea which are five new "Advent Calendars" where you answer 24 questions to get a festive joke as a prize. There is also a festive graphs activity involving linear graphs (y=mx+c) and quadratic graphs. I have used these in response to being told to "teach curriculum up to the holidays" and the students seem to like them.
