I found it time-consuming tryingto teach my classes how to resolve forces by drawing diagrams on the board and asking them to copy them down - it seemed to take ages and they didn't get to work through that many examples themselves. So I created this worksheet with ready-made diagrams with all the forces and a blank copy of diagram for students to add on the resolved forces. I no longer dread teaching this skill and my classes get a lot more done in the lesson time. The worksheet starts with an introductory explanation and a worked example. There are then over 20 questions for students to attempt. Fully worked solutions are included.

This 10-page resource covers all the required knowledge and techniques for related rates of change, as required for the new A level. It contains notes, explanations and examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included). It begins with an introductory example which shows related quantities can change at different rates and how the chain rule can be used to connect them. There is then a summary of the method and a page of example questions to complete with your class. The exercise that follows contains over 40 questions for your students to attempt. This projectable and printable resource will save you having to create or write out any notes/examples when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given spaces provided for solutions. Answers to all exercises are included.

This set of resources includes everything you need to teach the graph transformations topic in the new A level. The printable resources will save you and your classes a lot of time which means there is more lesson time for them to practise and for you help develop their understanding. As the topic requires knowledge of the properties of some graphs (e.g. asymptotes) the first resource can be used to see which graphs they can already sketch and to discuss the asymptotes of particular graphs. The next resources are Geogebra files which can be used with the free Geogebra software. Each file can be used to discuss a particular type of graph transformation - there are sliders on each file that be changed or animated to see the initial graph transformed. This activity should help your class to visualise each type of transformation and start to get a feel for how the equation changes. The notes and examples start with revising each type of graph transformation - giving some different ways the transformations can be described and what the transformation looks like using y=f(x) and with a particular curve. Once completed this is a useful revision resource and helps them complete the exercise of questions on the reverse which includes questions asking for the new equation of a transformed graph, or for a description of the transformation applied. The final resource can be used to give your class practice of sketching transformations of y=f(x). The answers to all questions are included, including the sketches.

This set of resources covers evaluating and simplifying expressions with powers. The first resource is 18 multiple choice questions on evaluating powers for students to attempt (I usually get my class to do this in pairs/small groups). The second resource is a worksheet with different sections that focus on evaluating with postive integer powers and 0, negative integer powers, then fractional powers. Each section contains examples to work through as a class and then an exercise for students to attempt. Answers are included. The third and fourth resource cover simplifying expressions, following the same format and the 1st and 2nd. The powerpoint contains slides that revise how to evaluate and simplify expressions with powers - useful as a plenary or as a refresher at the start of a lesson. The multiple choice questions cover both evaluating and simplifying - useful as a revision resource or a quick assessment. Solutions provided. The final resource is a set of questions to cover the whole powers topic, some of which are examination style questions. Answers are included.

This simple worksheet can be used to introduce/practise using number lines to represent inequalities. The worksheet starts with a reminder about the different inequality symbols and what they mean. There are then a few examples (to do with your students) of representing inequalities on number lines and writing down the inequalities represented by given diagrams. There is a short exercise with 16 of each type of question - answers are included.

This simple worksheet is a good way to introduce/review angles in parallel lines. It begins with diagrams of corresponding, alternate and allied (supplementary) angles, then there are some examples to work through with your class. On the second page there is a short exercise with similar problems for the class to do themselves. Answers to the exercise are included.

The first two resources are 2 different worksheets that can be used to get your class to learn the different types of graph they are expected to be familiar with at GCSE (linear, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal, exponential and square root) and to be able to recognise or sketch them. The first resource gets them to calculate points, plot them and join them up, while the second resource was designed to use Geogebra, but would suit any graphing software. In my experience students need a fair bit of time to complete these so this activity may well fill your entire lesson. The third resource is a worksheet to check their knowledge after completing one of the earlier activities (solutions included).

The first 3 resources help students to learn to label the sides of the triangle correctly (adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse). There are then 2 worksheets, each with 18 questions to practise finding angles or sides using trigonometry. Answers are included. The short worksheet on angle of elevation/depression explains what the angles represent and has 4 examples for students to complete - answers are included. The multiple choice questions (including some non-calculator) can be used as an assessment after covering this topic. Answers are also included.

This 11-page resource covers all the required knowledge and techniques for determining if curves are convex/concave and finding points of inflection, as required for the new A level. In each section it contains notes, explanations and examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included). The sections/topics are: 1.Convex and concave curves (a) determine from a sketch if curve is convex, concave or neither (b) find the values of x for which a graph is convex (or concave) © show algebraically that a function is convex (or concave) 2.Points of inflection (a) find the point(s) of inflection on a graph (b) determine whether a point of inflection is stationary or non-stationary © show that a curve has no points of inflection (d) use point(s) of inflection to determine the values of x for which a curve is convex (or concave) This projectable and printable resource will save you having to create or write out any notes/examples when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given spaces provided for solutions. Answers to all exercises are included.

I've always thought that graph transformations is a difficult topic to teach well from a textbook, that's the reason I created these worksheets so my classes could practise sketching the transformations without having to draw axes or try to copy the original curve. This worksheet has examples and an exercise which focuses on reflections but some questions also involve translations. The examples are designed to work through as a class and then the rules for the different reflections can be completed. There are 7 pages of questions for students to complete, including sketching the transformed graph and stating the equation of a transformed graph. All answers are included - I usually project these so that the whole class can check their answers.

I created these resources to try to help my classes understand the process of factorising quadratic expressions of the form x^2+bx+c. The idea behind them is to first get the class to practise finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum, then to start to apply this to factorisation with some scaffolded questions. The first resource gets them to focus on finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum. The 4-page worksheet is broken into four sections - both numbers positive, both numbers negative, one positive and one negative, and then a mixed section. The second resource is a spreadsheet activity where your classes can further practise the skill of finding the 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum. The questions are randomly generated and they get instant feedback on their answers, either telling them it is correct or telling them which requirement (product/sum) has not been met, giving them a chance to try again. It keeps track of how many each student has answered correctly so you can make this into a competitive activity. The final 4-page resource starts to apply the skill of finding 2 numbers that have a specified product and sum to factorising quadratics. Each section starts with a set of questions asking for 2 numbers with a specified product and sum, then asks the student to complete/write down the related factorisation. Each section concludes with some factorising questions with no scaffolding. Section A is both numbers positive, section B is both numbers negative, section C is one number positive and one number negative. Sections D has almost 50 quadratic expressions to factorise - starting with a few of each type and then moving onto mixed questions. Answers to both the worksheets are provided.

These resources deal with problems where 2 or more items are chosen at random, we are given the probability of a particular outcome, and this is used to derive a quadratic equation that then needs to be solved. The first resource can be used to teach the topic. It is in two sections - section A deals with selection with replacement, section B deals with selection without replacement. In each section there are 2 examples to work through with the class, followed by an exercise with more than 10 questions of increasing difficulty for the class to attempt themselves. Fully worked solutions to the examples and exercises are included. The second resource is another set of questions that can be used as a homework or revision - 8 questions that are a mixture of with/without replacement. Also included is a spreadsheet that calculates the probabilities for all outcomes in situations where there are between 5 and 40 items - just in case your class loves this topic and wants more questions!

A simple resource to give your class practice of finding the area of a shape by counting squares. It has brief notes and examples at the start, then an exercise with 18 questions for students to attempt (answers included). The shapes are squares, rectangles, triangles and compound shapes using these 3 shapes (so no circles or parts of circles).

These resources are designed for the new GCSE higher tier. The first worksheet introduces how Venn diagrams work and the notation used for the different sections of the diagram. The second worksheet is to practise using the notation correctly. The powerpoint can be used as a whole class activity to see if they have learned the notation correctly - it contains 11 multiple choice questions, for each they must choose which option is the correct notation for the given Venn diagram. The final 10-page worksheet is a set of exam-style questions. All answers are included.
