A sequence of 4 lessons on Simultaneous Equations designed for a D/C KS4 group.
The structure of solving a Simultaneous Equation is clearly shown and starter activities are used to highlight key topics covered over the previous weeks.
All questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion.
Please use and let me know what you think.
I do not claim to own all of the resources published here. Many are adapted from other TES users.
A lesson which begins with pupils discovering Pi through measuring circular objects.
I have uploaded the worksheet with the examples of objects I used and space for an additional cylinder.
This then leads into finding the circumference and area of a circle.
A lesson with exercises on sharing ratios in a quantity. There is some key ratio questions at the start, which leads into more difficult questions modelled. There is time for pupils to work individually.
Best buy problem at the end gives students an opportunity to work together and apply their knowledge of ratio and proportion.

Please share and let me know what you think of my updated lesson.
A lesson on Volume of 3D Shapes, starting with cuboids and progressing up to triangular prisms and cylinders. There are activities built in which support the lessons. In addition to this, there is a worksheet to help support pupils who need more practice on the topic.
Questions are all provided within the powerpoint and some are taken from Tristan Jones excellent worksheets he provides on TES (see below).

A lesson on reflection aimed at a low ability Y9 group.
The worksheet is heavily scaffolded and provides lots of practice of reflecting shapes in horizontal and vertical lines.
The plenary activity involves reflecting in diagonal lines also.

A lesson on drawing box plots and interpreting data aimed at a GCSE statistics class.
The lesson moves quickly onto calculating outliers and commenting on skewness of box plots.
Please use, share and leave comments on what you think!
A lesson with questions on solving equations with fractions.
This lesson starts from the beginning with no prior knowledge of fractions and moves up to solving simple algebraic fractions.
Designed for a middle ability year 9 class.
Please let me know what you think and if you edit the slides, upload and share the resource.
A series of lessons on using trigonometry in right angled triangles to solve problems.
Lesson was originally designed for a top set year 9 class so goes from very basic through to more difficult problems involving application of the rules. There are many activities included at the start / throughout / end of the powerpoint to be used when appropriate.
These lessons are combination of my own / adapted from other TES users / worksheets. If you would like me to remove anything please let me know.
A series of lessons introducing Vectors and the notation surrounding this. The aim of the lessons is to deepen students thinking about Vectors introduce the ideas around parallel and perpendicular vectors and finding resultants.
There is some Vectors with Geometry questions at the end which are not very difficult.
Pupils would need to go on and attempt exam style questions are this series of lessons.

A series of lessons on finding percentages of amounts, both with and without a calculator.
Designed for a KS3 class with lots of questions and activities built into the powerpoint.
The cross-number was not made by me - credit goes to Miss Brookes Maths but it is so good I have included it here. If anyone would like me to remove this please let me know.

A lesson on Substitution into Linear Expressions designed for a KS3 mixed ability group.
The lesson includes a starter activity using countdown.
Detailed / coloured examples are given on the board with an activity from the Edexcel Foundation textbook. Plenary activity testing pupils understanding towards the end.
