These resources are a sample from a collection of short tests on the application of Pythagoras’ theorem. All the tests are quite short (3/4 questions, so 5-10mins max). I created them so that I was able to test my classes more regularly on topics at different points through the year - each test is similar enough so that classes hopefully improve at the “standard” questions but there is also some variety in the later questions in each test and a progression in difficulty as you go through the tests. In the full set of 18 tests there are 5 tests designed to be done with a calculator, 13 tests to be done without a calculator. The questions include: 1.Finding the longest/shorter side of a right-angled triangle 2.Determining whether a triangle is right-angled 3.Finding the distance between 2 points 4.Using Pythagoras’ theorem in isosceles triangles, rectangles, squares etc 5.Using Pythagoras’ theorem in 3D 6.Using Pythagoras’ theorem where side lengths are given as surds All tests come with fully-worked solutions which makes them easy to mark. This means that the tests could also be used as a revision resource for students.

These are two different tests I created to assess the whole of the statistics element of the new AS level. Each test contains 16/17 examination-style questions, based on exemplar questions, specimen papers, topic tests or textbook questions, The tests cover the following: Cumulative frequency diagrams Box and whisker diagrams Histograms Scatter diagrams and correlation Finding/estimating averages or measures of spread from grouped/ungrouped data or from summary statistics Probability (two-way tables, tree diagrams, venn diagrams, independent and mutually exclusive events) Probability density functions Binomial distribution Sampling methods Hypothesis testing Both tests come with fully-worked solutions. Having two different tests is useful if, like me, you have two different A level groups and want to set them different tests, or you could give out one as a practice test or revision and use the other for an actual test.

These resources are designed to help to introduce your students to the AQA Large Data Set for 2018-19, to get them familiar with some of its properties and typical questions that can be asked about data taken from it. The worksheet begins by introducing the data selected by AQA and the regions of England that are referred to. There are then several pages of examples, chosen to illustrate particular properties of the data or a certain style of question. The examples cover the following: How data is categorised - shows students categories and sub-categories How data values are presented - shows students how the exact values in the LDS are rounded for tables/extracts Outliers - shows how outliers can be identified and common outliers in the data Interpretation of diagrams - allows students to consider what can and cannot be deduced from a range of diagrams The intention is that these examples are worked through and discussed with your class. Possible answers to the examples are given in the teacher version of the worksheet. There is then a 6-page exercise for students to complete. This exercise contains questions that are based on the style of the exemplar questions released by AQA, so they should be ideal practice for your students. Answers to the exercise are included. The spreadsheet is designed to make it easier and quicker to analyse certain aspects of the large data set. By simply selecting the 2 food categories you wish to investigate, the spreadsheet will: Pull all the relevant data onto a single sheet Calculate PMCC between the 2 food categories (for each region, and for each year) Calculate quartiles and indicate the presence of any outliers Draw scatter diagrams for each region, and for each year The spreadsheet is a really useful tool to help you quickly select some data from the LDS that can be used to illustrate/discuss a particular aspect of the data or to practise a particular style of question. Alternatively, the spreadsheet could be given to your students so that they are able to do some investigation of the data themselves, without needing to know much about using Excel. The final resource is just a set of notes on how to use the spreadsheet and its functionality.

These resources are designed to introduce the vectors topic for the Core 4 module. The first resource introduces all the required skills and knowledge using just 2 dimensions, which enables students to use/draw diagrams to help them understand the steps in the solutions. At appropriate points within this resource there are prompts to attempt one of the other worksheets to focus on a particular skill or type of question. All the other worksheets work in 3 dimensions, so students may need help with the first couple of examples on each sheet. There are lots of examples on each sheet to help students become confident with that particular part of the vectors topic. Answers are provided for all the worksheets, either on the sheet or as a separate resource.

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 contains 16 questions for your students to practise drawing the plan and the front and side elevations of an object made from cubes. Answers are provided for marking / projecting for students to check.

I created this short worksheet to revise the principles and basic methods for determining whether an object on an inclined plane will slide, topple, or neither. It may also be suitable as an introduction to the topic. So that the focus of the worksheet is on deciding what happens to the object, rather than spending time finding the location of the centre of mass, I have used only solid cylinders and cones for the questions. There is an introductory page which explains the required methods, together with a couple of examples. The exercise contains 20 questions, answers are included.

I created these resources so that my younger classes could get involved in celebrating pi day. In the first resource they choose a colour for each digit 0-9 then colour in a circle for each of the first 200 digits, which should produce a nice random pattern of coloured dots. Each of the other resources involve finding how often each digit 0-9 appears within the first 200 digits and then representing this on a bar chart or pie chart. The frequencies are: 19, 20, 24, 20, 22, 20, 15, 12, 25, 23 Happy pi day!

This is a simple wordsearch I created so that my younger classes could get involved in pi day. Solution is included.

This worksheet focuses on using the sum of angles in a quadrilateral to find missing angles. It assumes that students are already familiar with angles in triangles, on a straight line, vertically opposite angles, and angles in parallel lines. The first section covers different types of quadrilaterals and their properties. There is a short exercise where students practise choosing the correct type(s) of quadrilateral based on the information given. The second section begins with the result for the sum of angles in a quadrilateral. There are then some examples of finding angles - these are to be completed with your class. The exercise that follows is for students to attempt themselves. Answers to both exercises are included.
