A while ago I uploaded a set of resources on calculating the areas of shapes on flags, see here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/areas-of-flags-6327719 A number of people messaged me asking if I had one for circles - and here is is now! I had to get creative with finding flags I could use, and I’d recommend that you have already had a lesson on Area and Circumference before this, as the questions get very challenging! Thank you to @1hannahjones for making a number of corrections and clarifications!

In this lesson, students learn what iteration is and see an example of how it was used to calculate square roots of non-square numbers. There is an explanation of the notation involved and students get to try the process out for themselves. Could be used as an introduction to the topic.

Pupils are shown how to plot Quadratic graphs including both positive and negative x-squared coefficients. Has a few examples of where they may be used to model motion. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Pupils have to answer several true or false statements relating to whether multiples can be made using numbers in a list (have a look at the worksheet and you'll get the idea!) They then have to try and come up with clear explanations as to why the statements are true or false, and there is the opportunity to use algebra. Can be extended into longer lists and multiples of larger numbers. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

This set of 8 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Statistics and Mechanics Year 2/A2 textbook, and have largely been adapted from my previous S1 and M1 resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom.

These 3 lessons are aimed at higher ability pupils who have covered linear sequences before, and need a quick recap but then an extension into harder work. Lesson 1 - Generating much more complicated sequences and finding patterns in the differences. Lesson 2 - Using the patterns they found to work out the nth term of quadratics/cubics etc. Lesson 3 - Graphing the sequences and their differences and finding links between them.

Two lessons on solving inequalities. One with just the algebra and the second includes forming them from worded situations. The powerpoints have been made to go with exercises from 10 Ticks that are indicated on the title screen. If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils learn to solve equations where the unknown is in the 'power', by changing the base so the powers can be compared (ie - logarithms not needed). The powerpoint has been made to go with the Cambridge IGCSE course but could easily be adapted. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils have to use the heights of one building to estimate the heights of others, and produce sketches of several well known buildings to scale. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

I'm a big fan of the excellent group challenges created and uploaded to the TES by Chris Smith (https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Maths-Group-Challenges-Puzzle-Sheets-6179530), so much so that we have built them into our scheme of work. However, we ran out, so I made some more. Please let me know if there are any mistakes! The puzzles are mostly things I have found on the internet and in books so are not my own work. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

This lesson is intended as an introduction to Simultaneous Equations, where students solve picture-based puzzles without using formal Algebra. The idea is that the following lesson they can see equations given algebraically and see how it is effectively the same thing!

Pupils can learn about fractions by doing divisions the Egyptian way! For a more exciting powerpoint, please check out cbarclay99’s at this link: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Egyptian-Fractions-6255731/ If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

A lesson covering rules for finding interior and exterior angles in polygons. Includes a worksheet with answers and a load of challenge questions from the UKMT papers. I really like to use this with the excellent 'Angles in Polygons Challenge' worksheet uploaded by the legendary Tristan Jones! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/angles-in-polygons-challenge-6443005

3 lessons of powerpoints and worksheets covering drawing and using Cumulative Frequency Curves and Box Plots. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Aimed at pupils studying the IGCSE, this lesson shows them how to estimate the gradient at points on a curve by drawing tangents. Includes a worksheet with answers (I'd strongly recommend they use the scale stated on the horizontal axis, otherwise the graphs get a bit squashed together!) If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils roll dice and simplify the fractions they get on the grid, with the person with the biggest fraction getting a point. I usually play 10 rounds and then pupils move round and play someone else. They can also discuss at the end whether the game was fair and how to determine whether it was or wasn't. Sometimes if the class is small I record results on the board (like football scores) and get them to draw a up a league table! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils investigate how to make a number pyramid have the largest number at the top, given some numbers they have to put at the bottom. They should then try to explain (algebraically if possible) why it works. Leads into Pascal's Triangle and I usually give them another lesson investigating whatever patterns they can find within it! The 1st page is for the lesson and the 2nd page with the triangle on it is for the investigation. If you like this then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Powerpoints that show pupils how to transform shapes by stretching and shearing. This was made to go with the Cambridge IGCSE course and textbook, which has plenty of questions for them to practice. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Lesson on the official formulae used to calculate the amount of points athletes get for different events of the Heptathlon. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
