Complete mastery-style lesson including worksheets and answers. Lesson works through adding and subtracting fractions with same denominators, denominators that are multiples of each other and then different denominators, including mixed numbers throughout. Bar modelling is used to represent fractions for most of lesson, removing as students gain confidence. Suitable for KS2, KS3 and some lower attaining KS4 classes.

Mastery-style worksheet aimed at simplifying expressions using algebra tiles. Ideal to introduce students to using algebra tiles. Questions are intelligently varied, getting progressively more difficult and include a ‘challenge’ section where answers are then substituted into more complex questions. Images of algebra tiles are shown so no need to have the physical manipulatives to hand. Designed for upper KS2 and KS3 with little knowledge of algebra.

Murder mystery resource, ideal for remote learning, includes clues and suspect list. Answers now also included. Designed for upper KS3 or KS4 as a retrieval activity. Clues include working with numbers in standard form, factorising quadratic expressions, fractions, decimals and percentages and general geometry questions.

Murder-mystery resource with 4 clues and suspect list included. Answers now also included. This resource is easy to use for remote learning as everything is included in one word document. Clues involve solving simple linear equations, finding missing terms of sequences, answering questions about number of sides of shapes and prime and square numbers and using a co-ordinates grid. Designed to be used as a retrieval task and is suitable for all key stage 3, depending on ability.

Complete mastery-style lesson including visual representations and intelligently varied question set. Lesson covers solving linear equations with variable on both sides. Designed for KS3 but also useful for some KS4 classes. Promotes understanding of the process of solving linear equations.

Lesson based on using tables of values to find co-ordinates and plot linear graphs. Designed for KS3 who had already covered substitution into algebra and formulae. Could possibly be useful for KS4 classes.

Complete lesson including examples, independent questions and answers. Builds on previous lessons that include substituting values into a table to produce a linear equation graphically. Includes step-by-step guidance about how to solve linear equations graphically. Designed for use with KS3 but could be suitable for some KS4.

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.

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.

Whole lesson in mastery-style including examples and intelligently varied questions to cover factorising quadratic expressions. Lesson was created for Year 9 but is suitable for KS4 too. This lesson was taught following expanding double brackets and basic algebraic manipulation.

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.

2 whole lessons to cover expanding double brackets; first lesson includes only positive terms and second lesson brings in negative terms too. Includes set of intelligently varied questions and the answers too. Designed to be taught following expansion of single brackets and basic algebraic manipulation, including simplifying expressions. Created for KS3 but can be used as a revision tool for KS4 too.

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 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 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 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.

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.

Full mastery lesson to introduce students to sequences topic. Covers what sequences are, continuing basic sequences in number and diagram form and predicting future terms in more complex sequences. Aimed at high ability KS2 and suitable for all year 7. Planned for a mixed ability class so many challenge questions to stretch most able and includes hints to scaffold for less able students. Worksheet includes intelligently varied questions so first questions build confidence and are accessible for all. Includes ‘relay’ plenary activity to review learning and encourage problem solving.

Powerpoint for introducing translations of shapes.The powerpoint includes teacher explanation of describing translations, including some challenge questions for more able students. Also covers vector notation for translations and includes multi-choice diagnostic-style questions. Powerpoint goes on to drawing translations. I do not own worksheets so not included. Designed for KS3 but also appropriate for KS4, to be taught as part of the transformations topic.
