I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

These are homework sheets which also contain a QR code to a tutorial video if the students require. I have used similar before and parents (and children) have found the QR code very useful and should avoid the "I don't get it" excuse as they can get help via the QR code. The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include angles (line, point, triangles, polygons, parallel lines), perimeter and area (rectangles, triangles, trapeziums, circles), surface area of cubes/cuboids, construction. Each one comes with answers too.

The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include reading and interpreting bar charts, pie charts, frequency diagrams, averages (including drawing conclusions), probability and chance, surveys. Each comes with answers too.

The tutorials have been made using the app Explain Everything if you are interested. Topics covered include arithmetic sequences (nth terms: generating and finding), solving equations (from single step to fractional parts), substitution. Each comes with answers too.
This is just a set of relatively simple transformation questions both on Powerpoint and worksheet. It is split into 5 parts: reflection, rotation, translation and two sets of mixed questions. I have written it with Year 7 or 8 but they could be used for foundation GCSE too.
This is designed to add some "real life" and to enhance to a sequences lesson. It links into the golden ratio and has a link to a YouTube video on the subject. There are invitations to calculate the golden ratio and to draw the Fibonacci spiral.
Some of these are available for free but not all. These are "self-marking" sheets that produce words, pictures, punchlines, names, countries etc. They have been designed so that they offer practice to the student and minimal marking for the teacher so therefore a quick homework, starter or plenary in each case to assess understanding.
This powerpoint uses two scenarios: building site and office. You can choose the order in which you do them or whether to do one and not the other. These are worded ratio problems to discuss and use to establish understanding or encourage verbal explanations from students.
These are all available for free but if you haven’t the time to search for them then here they are. I find these useful for short homeworks, starters or plenaries and if the answer doesn’t appear then they need to check theirs!

All these are available for free but if you want them all in one lot here you go. Each delivers a joke, film or song title whilst practising key numerical skills. I use them for short homeworks, starters and plenaries.
All these are available for free but if you want them all in one hit then here you go. These can be used as a quick homework, plenary or starter and get students to find a punchline to a joke, a film or a song title whilst embedding their newly acquired knowledge.
These are all individually available for free but if you don’t have the time to find them they are all here. They all find a joke or song title or film and I use them as quick homeworks, plenaries or starters to chack understanding.
These are all available for free but if you want to save time and get them all then here they are. These are general mathematics questions, not on one specific topic. I have used them at the start of term as a "welcome back" but also, in the case of the Christmas and Easter versions, at the end of term. Each contains a joke punchline to find.
All these are available individually for free but if you want them as a single bundle then here they are. They offer questions that form a joke and I use them as light relief from exam questions and text books or as homeworks, plenaries or starters.
No real imagination here, just a quick worksheet to stop the students bisecting a horizontal or vertical and bisecting a right angle. Don't expect anything fancy people...
Putting surface area into some kind of context without using wrapping paper (next best thing here mind). Two worded questions and one which involves two different units of measurement.
This was designed as a "taster" session to A Level mathematics for Year10s/11s and builds on what they should know regarding expanding brackets until they discover that you can use Pascal's Triangle to expand brackets. It gives them the chance to investigate their theories and what effect a negative sign makes.
This is designed to lead on from finding nth terms of arithmetic sequences, getting students to spot a relationship from square and cube numbers. There are 4 sections each of increasing difficulty plus an extension task. This is not "superheroes" etc but should lead to nice discussions of "how do you know that?" and "how did you get that?".
