This is a series of lessons (2-4) on using and applying cosine rule. This lessons consists of varying tasks in using and applying the basic skills and applying cosine rule to multi step problems. The lesson can develop pupils skills into using and applying cosine rule with bound problems, speed/distance/time problems and also algebraic problems. All tasks are differentiated either 3 or 4 levels. All tasks have solutions so pupils can self mark with some of the solutions handwritten so pupils can see a full worked solutions. This has been used with classes of varying ability and all have been able to access the lesson up to their desired ability.

A series of lessons (2 - 3) on finding the equation of a straight line. The lesson begins with finding and interpreting the gradient and y intercept from real life life situations and moving onto finding the equation of a line. It also gives pupils the opportunity to investigate perpendicular and parallel lines. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels and suitable for the new curriculum as pupils are given reasoning tasks. All pupils can consolidate their learning yet be stretched for the more able. All solutions included.

A RAG Task on finding the equation of a straight line. The sheet allows pupils to master the skill and then apply it to different contexts aswell as an introduction to parallel and perpendicular lines. All solutions included

A Thoughts and Crosses on Angles in a Triangle. It gives the chance to consolidate and also link angles and algebra and reasoning tasks. All solutions included. Check out my shop for a complete lesson and many other lessons

A series of lessons (2-3) on finding missing angles in a quadrilateral. There is a variety of tasks ranging from the basics of finding missing angles, linking angles and algebra and also introduction to circle theorems (Cyclic Quadrilaterals). All tasks are differentiated to 3 levels, with solutions and give the pupils the chance to consolidate and also challenge themselves. It is suitable for the 9-1 curriculum as it involves problem solving and reasoning tasks.

A series of lessons (2-3) on using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic. It introduces the formula and has a RAG task on using this formula to a basic quadratic, ones where some rearrangement is needed and moves onto shape problems. There are also reverse problems in which pupils would need to find the values of a,b and c. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

This lesson recaps basic factorising inc difference of two squares ect. There is then a RAG task on solving a quadratic by factorising and includes varying tasks such as rearranging ect to really get the pupils thinking. It also links in algebra with shape and have reasoning and problem solving questions which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

This lesson allows pupils to practice the skill of finding the area of a parallelogram, aswell as reverse problems and compound shapes in a RAG Task. There are plenty of problem solving questions, reasoning questions to really stretch all pupils and challenge the more able. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

A series of lessons (2-3) on finding the area of a triangle. The lesson allows pupils to practice the basic skill but al calculate reverse problems and compound shape questions. There are also some reasoning tasks suitable for the new curriculum and algebraic problems to challenge the more able learners. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

RAG sheet regarding equation of a circle. Allows the pupils the master the skill before investigating points on graphs

A starter which includes 5 questions which seem to be badly answered at year 7. The same questions repeat 6 times so can be used for 6 consecutive lessons. The aim is that each lesson they get better at each question so by lesson 6 can tackle all 5 questions within 15 mins. Used these starters for years, pupils are engaged and like the benefits of them.

Can be used as a recap or a diagnostic exercise. Gives pupils he opportunity to work through different problems involving angles covering a wide range of angle topics. Pupils always engaged in this task and like to stretch and challenge themselves. Great for revision

A differentiated catchphrase on adding and subtracting fractions. Keeps the pupils engaged and offers challenge and problem solving. Can be used as revision, individual work or group work.

RAG Task on Angles in Polygons. Quite a basic worksheet but will challenge pupils, give them the opportunity to complete exams questions on a topic I feel some pupils consistently drop marks on. A full lesson on this topic is available on my page

An ideal resource which can recap using the four operations with fractions. It practices the skills, using it in functional problems and then introduces the more able pupils to more vague contexts which are ideal for the new curriculum. Ideal for revision, as a lesson, a game and engages the pupils to really challenge themselves. Full lesson to follow the ensure pupils are fully prepared for new curriculum.

A resource designed for low ability KS3 or KS2 pupils on adding and subtracting. This gives the pupils the opportunity to be challenged and even working with decimals to stretch their understanding. Use with low ability KS3 who managed to progress through the task, consolidating prior knowledge and working with decimals.
