This is a short revision lesson I use with my low ability students at KS4. However it could be used with KS3 students. The aim is to quickly revise through a few examples and then for them to have ago at a few on the algebra topic collection of like terms.

This is a lesson I usually use for year 7 or low ability classes in year 8 or 9. The aim of the lesson is to demonstrate how we change the symbols when working backwards. I teach this lesson before I move onto the solving of simple equations. After the worked examples there is a worksheet which students can complete in class or as a piece of homework.

Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the higher level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.

Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at calculator for foundation and higher. This completes at three paper assessment. These papers can not be obtained by students on the internet. Hence are ideal for end of term (or year) assessments. Solutions are included.

This lesson and worksheet I have used as an introduction to scatter diagrams. Through worked examples students learn how to draw a scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit and use the line of best fit to answer further questions. The worksheet can then be used as a piece of classwork or as a piece of homework. Answers are included. New addition to this lesson: Printable two example sheet and Printable four page booklet containing three questions. The new addition was created during COVID times to ensure that students covered as much work as possible during school time. The two worked examples (worked through at the board) ensured that students moved onto the set questions quicker. The three question booklet was also a quick way to assess whether the students understood what was taught.

This lesson consists of a powerpoint of worked examples, which demonstrate how Algebraic fractions are simplified. The collection contains examples of factorising numerator and denominator before cancelling common factors and also includes multiplying and dividing algebraic fractions. The lesson also contains a worksheet, with answers.

This lesson looks at obtaining the percentage of a quantity over a period of time, whether it is compound interest, decay or reduction over a period of several years. The lesson consists of a powerpoint of worked examples, followed by a worksheet and answers are provided.

This lesson I teach to student in key stage 3 who have never met the definition of the mode or median before. The lesson is accompanied with a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.

This lesson is a lesson of two halves. The powerpoint consists of worked examples. The first part of the lesson demonstrates how we remove a bracket. The second half of the lesson introducing students to factorisation by means of a common factor. The resource also contains a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.

GCSE Foundation Mathematics run around game 2 This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. For this run around calculators are placed on the table for questions 5 to 8, table for questions 13 to 16 and table for questions 21 to 24. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

This is a short lesson which demonstrates to students how we can convert Percentages into fractions or decimals and fractions or decimals into percentages. The lesson also contains a worksheet with answers for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.

The power point lesson teaches students the understanding of the works Rational and irrational when it comes to numbers. There is a proof for the square root of 2 being irrational and a number of examples where recurring decimals are expressed as fractions (hence showing that they are rational numbers). I always teach this lesson before introducing the simplifying of surds.

This lesson I have used as an introduction to drawing histograms when the class width is varied. The lesson also consists of two worksheets which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.

This resource consists of a series of worked examples involving the formula work for Volume of a Pyramid and volume of a Sphere. Following the examples there is printable sheets for students to complete.

This lesson is a PowerPoint which through a series of worked examples shows students how to divide a given decimal by a given integer value.
