All my resources have been created to use with classes I teach. Often I've created resources because, for a particular topic, I haven't been happy with the number/standard of the examples in a textbook. Sometimes I've created worksheets for certain topics (e.g. graph transformations) because I feel my classes will make greater progress on a printed worksheet than trying to work from a textbook. I always aim to produce high-quality resources that improve the students' learning and understanding.

This worksheet covers how to solve single and double-sided inequalities and includes representing the solution on a number line as well as considering examples where integer solutions are required.
The introduction covers what the solution to a linear inequality should look like and, by means of a few examples, explores the similarities and differences between solving equations and inequalities.
The first exercise (52 Qs) then gives students practice solving inequalties of the form ax+b>c, x/a+b
The second section focuses on double-sided inequalities such as 3
The final section is designed to help students consider the integer solutions to an inequality. In the examples students need to find the smallest possible integer value of n if n>p, the largest possible integer value of n if n
Answers to all the exercises are provided, including the solutions on number lines.
Also included is a homework/test with fully worked solutions.

This 12 page resource covers the solution of 2nd order differential equations by finding the roots of its auxiliary equation, and its particular integral.
The first section focuses on cases where the auxiliary equation has real roots (distinct or repeated). It begins by concentrating on finding only the complementary function - there are several examples to work through with your class and then an exercise with 14 questions for students to attempt. There are then a few examples that involve finding both the complementary function and the particular integral.
The second section focuses on cases where the auxiliary equation has complex roots (a+/-bi or +/-bi). There are several examples to work through with your class and then an exercise with 18 questions for students to attempt. The exercise includes questions where students are required to consider the behaviour of the solution (bounded/unbounded oscillations) when x becomes large, as well as the function to which the solution approximates when x becomes large.
Answers to both exercises are included.

I have found plenty of resources to help students find Euler’s formula, but couldn’t find any where students can practise using it - so I made one!
This worksheet starts by reminding them of the result and then there are a few examples to work through with your class, followed by an exercise with 16 questions of increasing difficulty.
Note - some of the questions involve use of (basic) algebra
This worksheet can be used to introduce the technique required to use trigonometry to find sides/angles in isosceles triangles.
There are 2 example problems to work through as a class then an exercise with 10 questions. The first 6 questions have diagrams provided as an aid, the last 4 questions are without diagrams.
Answers are provided.
I use this worksheet to introduce momentum and impulse, and to get students to practise working out the change in momentum of an object using mv-mu. After the introductory explanation there are 9 questions for student to attempt - all answers are included.
Other Mechanics 1 resources are available - please go to my shop and search for them.
This 24-page worksheet has almost 80 questions on the topic of finding the area and perimeter of circles and sectors.
There is a mixture of non-calculator and calculator questions, which are clearly indicated.

I think this is difficult topic to teach well from a textbook. I find these resources make it a lot easier to teach the topics and help my classes make greater progress in the lesson.
A practice worksheet for loci (8 pages, with solutions), then a practice worksheet on constructions (8 pages).
Then a mixed worksheet (8 pages, with solutions).
Note - make sure these worksheets are printed at full size (A4) or the scale/measurements will not work!

The second worksheet studies the interior and exterior angles or regular polygons and is designed to help students realise the easiest way to find the interior/exterior angle of an n-sided polygon or to work out the number of sides of a regular n-sided polygon with a given interior or exterior angle. There is also a short exercise of questions to practise using the rules they have found.
Answers to both exercises are included.
This set of resources contains everything you need to teach the topic of inequalities on graphs.
The students need to be confident with straight line graphs for this topic so the first worksheet is a refresher of those.

The final resource is intended as a homework or summative assessment (4 pages).
All answers are included for printing/projecting for your class to check their answers.
