Complete lesson to cover completing the square and solving quadratic equations by completing the square. The lesson is designed to be used with algebra tiles but the pictures shown on the screen mean that the tiles are not essential. I used this lesson with a Year 10 class following a higher GCSE scheme of work but it is suitable for higher ability KS3 too.

Full mastery lesson on recognising and continuing non-linear sequences. Recaps the difference between linear and nonlinear sequences and then covers geometric and ‘special’ nonlinear sequences, including square numbers and Fibonacci sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet and many challenge questions throughout lesson to stretch most able. Lesson is accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes. Plenary is quiz activity to engage students.

Full mastery lesson about finding missing terms in linear sequences. Focuses on using the constant difference of linear sequences to find one missing term and leads on to finding two consecutive missing terms in a sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet which gets progressively more difficult to stretch all students. Powerpoint includes many challenge questions to stretch most able and hints to support less able learners, making it accessible for most abilities across late KS2 and early KS3. Includes ‘quiz, quiz, trade’ activity to review all sequences work as this was taught as the last lesson in a topic.

Full lesson on relating ratio to linear functions with worksheet and self/ peer assessment grids included. Brought in for the new AQA GCSE spec, it includes a model solution to a past AQA exam question but resource is also suitable for high ability year 9. Uses bar modelling to teach for understanding. Linked to sketching graph of linear functions for added challenge.

Full lesson including differentiated questions built into powerpoint. Intended to be used following lessons on algebraic notation so students understand which operation is being ‘done’ to the variable. Suitable for KS3 and lower ability KS4.

Full mastery lesson on representing sequences, focusing on students’ ability to recognise and represent the same sequence in number, diagram, tabular and graphical form. Includes intelligently varied worksheets, as well as sheets of images from the powerpoint helpful for students to go through as examples. Planned for a mixed ability class, this resource includes challenge questions to stretch the most able and hints to scaffold for less able students, which also makes it accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes.

Complete lesson covering box plots. Designed for Year 9 but suitable for all of KS3 and KS4. This lesson covers everything about box plots, including drawing them from data, drawing from cumulative frequency curves and comparing box plots. All questions included are past exam questions.

Full lesson based on expanding several sets of single brackets and simplifying answer. Mastery-style questions on worksheet with answers included. Aimed at KS3, from middle/high ability year 7 to lower ability year 9.

Complete lesson including powerpoint and worksheet about using percentages in a real life context, including mortgages, depreciation of goods and both simple and compound interest. Lesson is designed to be taught following a lesson on using single decimal multiplier for percentage increase and decrease and this is recapped at the beginning of this lesson. Taught to high ability Year 8 but could also be appropriate for KS4.

Full mastery lesson on recognising and continuing linear sequences. Focus on recognising the constant difference of linear sequences, from number sequences, diagrams etc and leads on to using the constant difference to continue linear sequences. Includes several intelligently varied worksheets as well as regular challenge questions and hints, making this resource accessible to late KS2 and early KS3 and accessible to most abilities.

Powerpoint introducing exterior angles of polygons and the formula that links the exterior angle to the number of sides of the polygon. Includes some exam questions but main set of questions taken from AQA so not included. Designed for KS4 class, to be taught following interior angles of polygons.

Full mastery-style lesson covering division involving remainders (as decimals and fractions) which includes intelligently varied questions and challenges throughout. Designed to be used following a lesson on short division. Suitable for Key Stage 2 or 3, possibly even for lower ability KS4.

Full lesson but worksheets not included (not owned by me). Begins with KS2 level, moving through to equivalent fractions. Mastery style lesson.

Full lesson including questions built in. More mastery-style questions provided as extension worksheet (including answers). Intended to be used following collecting like terms and simplifying algebraic expressions. Suitable for KS3 and lower ability KS4.

Full lesson including worksheet. Aimed at middle ability year 7.

Full lesson with mastery-style questions included in powerpoint. Intended to be used following expanding brackets in the scheme of work. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.

Full lesson and mastery- style worksheet (including answers). Intended to be used after introducing and simplifying fractions. Uses bar modelling to show how fractions can be compared. Aimed at middle ability year 7 but also appropriate for KS2.

Full lesson and mastery-style questions worksheet. Lesson includes bar model and the ‘just’ numbers method for solving linear equations. Suitable for KS3 and lower ability KS4.

Full lesson and worksheet (including answers). Aimed at middle ability year 7.
