Colour Me Mathematics Sheets (1)

(0)
This bundle includes: Order or Operations, Solving Equations & Substitution. An engaging activity for students to consolidate their learning. Students answer the questions on the sheet and then, once they have the answer, colour in the corresponding section of the large grid to create a pattern. All details are fully explained in the resource itself, with lots of additional ideas as to how to get the best out of the resource, including: extension activities, challenge questions and suggested variations on the activity. All answers included

Y11 Homework Sheets (B-A* Grade)

(42)
These are the homework sheets I have been using with my top set Y11 class. They cover 10 different topics aimed at them achieving A/A*s in their GCSE examinations. Topics covered: Surds, Bounds, Algebraic Fractions, Probability, Recurring Decimals, Indices, Factorising, Sim Equations + more. For C-B grade h/w sheets see my other resource. http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk Now with answers included!
Mathematics Loyalty Cards

I made these loyalty cards earlier in the year to be used with Y11 classes revising for their GCSEs. Can be easily adapted for any subject/year group where you can offer rewards for improvement, enthusiasm and performance in your lessons.
'Flappy Bird' Data Handling Lessons
paulcollinspaulcollins

'Flappy Bird' Data Handling Lessons

(2)
This resource includes 2 videos of me playing the game 'flappy bird&' and a [updated] notebook file for possible lessons you could then teach, based on the videos. The videos could be the start of a series of lessons to collect, represent and compare data. Videos are linked to my YouTube Channel (mrcollinsmaths). Any other suggestions as to how the videos could be used are greatly appreciated. See my blog http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk for more info.
Y11 Higher (C/B Grade) Homework Sheets
paulcollinspaulcollins

Y11 Higher (C/B Grade) Homework Sheets

(34)
Inspired by http://goo.gl/EUD8Mu I have created 20 Higher Tier h/w sheets for students aiming to get a C/B grade. The sheets alternate between non-calc and calc h/ws and will be used in Term 1 this year. I will then use some B/A grade h/w sheets (watch this space) in Term 2/3. These sheets are aimed at giving students revision of the topics needed to achieve C/B grades in their GCSEs.
GCSE Mathematics Formulae for Revision

GCSE Mathematics Formulae for Revision

(11)
This is a ppt I put together for my Y10 class sitting their Edexcel (Linked Pair Pilot) METHODS in Mathematics GCSE examinations. I tried to put on all the key formulae they'd need to remember that is not given on the examination formulae sheet.
Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Polygons
paulcollinspaulcollins

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Polygons

(14)
Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: quadrilateral, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, interior, exterior, degrees, sum, regular and irregular. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce the topic of polygons and then look at the interior and exterior angles of regular/irregular polygons!?
Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Intro to Algebra

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Intro to Algebra

(8)
Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: letter, equation, formula, identity, and expression. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce topics. Differentiated by hiding letters to choose from initially and then revealing them if class struggle. For low ability I would reveal letters at the start.

Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: prime, odd, even, factor, cube, square and fibonacci. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce topics. Differentiated by hiding the letters to choose from initially and then revealing them if class struggle. For low ability I would reveal letters at the start.

Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: circle, segment, alternate, chord, intersect, angle and centre. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce topics. Differentiated by hiding letters to choose from initially and then revealing them if class struggle. For low ability I would reveal letters at the start.
GCSE Revision - 'Tip of the Iceberg'
paulcollinspaulcollins

GCSE Revision - 'Tip of the Iceberg'

(1)
These are a series of revision lessons I have put together following a literacy exhibition lesson I observed. The idea is that you show the students the 1st slide on each & ask what is implied by the image - what could they be asked to do in a GCSE exam question if they were presented with that image? Following their ideas, there are lots of different questions using the intial image. For more information on how I have used these with my classes see http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk
KS3 Data Handling Project
paulcollinspaulcollins

KS3 Data Handling Project

(23)
This is a 6 week 'homework&' project I have created for my set 1 Y9 class. I have saved the ppt as a pdf to give to each of them as a guide to their h/w over the 6 week period. The idea is that this guidance allows them to create their own data handling project including as many aspects of the topics we have covered in class as possible. For more information on how I intend to use this and the feedback once I have had all projects submitted check out my blog: http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk
Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Pi Day

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Pi Day

(6)
This is a resource I have created for Pi Day 14/03/13. I have taken inspiration from the popluar app '4 pics 1 word&' and from the likes of @reflectivemaths, @srcav and @El_Timbre on Twitter. I use the resource with mini whiteboards to get students to write the word and the definition of it. Diff by hiding/revealing the letters to choose from. see http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk for more info.
Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

(10)
This is another of my 4 pics 1 word resources that I have created having been inspired by @reflectivemaths and @srcav. The words in this presentation are radius, arc, sector, segment and chord. Good for literacy across the curriculum. I use these with mini whiteboards as a starter activity - students write down the word and their definitions. Diff by revealing/not revealing the letters for each set of 4 pics.

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - 3D Shapes

(10)
Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: cube, net, face, edge, vertex, construction and triangle. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce topics. I used them with mini whiteboards and got students to write the word and a definition for it. Differentiated by hiding letters to choose from initially and then revealing them if class struggled. For low ability I would reveal letters at the start.
Mathematics Awards/Certificates
paulcollinspaulcollins

Mathematics Awards/Certificates

(2)
I have created these Mathematics Awards to give to my students following their recent GCSE Mock examinations. The idea is to give them these in an 'Award&'s Ceremony&'; type lesson when they get their marked papers back and fill in AfL tracker sheets etc. Easy to alter these for any subject/teacher (just get rid of my name). I run the ppt as a presentation in class, and print off the slides to give to students as certificates to take home.
Maths Football IWB Match Activity
paulcollinspaulcollins

Maths Football IWB Match Activity

(0)
This is an IWB resource I created to go with my 'Mr Collins&' Table Sheets&'; resources. The idea is that I split my class into the two teams 'Collins City&' and &';Raymonds Rovers' and then using an inflatable football to play a &'match&'; of football with the class as a plenary activity; students answer questions to 'shoot&' or pass to another player. For more information on how I run this activity see my blog post at http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.com Resource can be used without the table sheets by printing and handing out the team shirts on slide 2.
Mathematics Taboo Cards

Mathematics Taboo Cards

(17)
Here's a set of 50 Mathematics Taboo Cards I have created; easy to change the Key words/taboo words as needed. I print these out, laminate them and then use them in class for revision or as a starter activity to engage students. Good for literacy across the curriculum.
Mathematical Concepts Wall Display
paulcollinspaulcollins

Mathematical Concepts Wall Display

(6)
This is an idea I got from the Wellcome Collection in Euston. Students choose one or two of the words on the reverse of the card (will need to be printed double sided) and then these get displayed on the wall display - A display created solely by students having printed off the cards!

Mathematical Advent Calendar Template
paulcollinspaulcollins

Mathematical Advent Calendar Template

(2)
This is a template I created for students to create their own Mathematical advent calendar. The idea is that you print off the front sheet, students cut around the dashed lines to open the 'doors&', they then stick this sheet onto a blank piece of the same sized paper. Then, they write mathematical calculations, sums, equations etc on the &';doors', the answers to which will be the numbers 1-25. They then write jokes, fun facts, pictures etc in the &'doors&';. Let me know what you think.
