These two powerpoints go through the basics of changing the subject of an equation or formula. The first includes just simple linear rearrangement, and the second includes example of factorising and dealing with roots and fractions. Nothing especially exciting, just trying to be as clear as possible! If you liked this resource, then please check out my other stuff on TES! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Owen134866

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.

Pupils get given 3x3 grids and must shade any number of squares so the grid has reflection symmetry. They need to try and find the total number of ways that this is possible (they hopefully will not need as many grids are as on the worksheet). It is important that they try to be logical in the way they do it!

Another set of 5 group challenge sheets for pupils to work on in groups over the course of a lesson. The vast majority of the problems are not my own, having been scavenged from many areas over the years! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :) The original set of group challenges from the superb Chris Smith: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-group-challenges-puzzle-sheets-6179530 My first set of 5 based on those: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/more-maths-group-challenges-11011518

This is a lesson we do near the start of the year with our Year 7 pupils. The idea is to get them thinking as much as possible about how they can improve, rather than whether they are good or not, which is a common problem in Maths. The video explains things very well and there is a short activity on rewording your thoughts. This lesson is most effective when you refer back to it during the year when giving feedback or when you sense the 'fixed mindset' coming back. Just doing the lesson then forgetting about it probably won't be as effective! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

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! :)

Pupils have to make the numbers from 1-50 using 1, 2, 3, and 4 once each only. They can use any operations as well as indices and factorials. Includes a sheet of possible answers! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Inspired by some UKMT questions, I made a lesson showing students how they can apply their knowledge of graphs to help with some geometry problems. Students see how placing a set of axes on a geometrical picture can help with changing the problem into an algebraic one instead. Ideally this lesson would come after doing some lessons on straight line graphs (the starter contains reminders of things they will need to be able to do to access it).

Powerpoints and Worksheets for 2 lessons on Histograms. One where the pupils learn to draw them and one with a recap of drawing as well as how to interpret some simple questions. Some can be done directly from the board with pupils discussing how to answer the questions given. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

This set of 11 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Statistics and Mechanics Year 1/AS 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.

Having read Ian Stewart's book of the same name, I decided to make A4 sized posters summarising each of the equations. They're nice to have up on the walls when kids say 'What's the point of Algebra?'If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

This set of powerpoints go with the Edexcel textbooks and cover the entire Core 2 course from start to finish. Pupils can use these for revision or you can use them to deliver lessons! The sheets are just of exam questions and can be used as end of unit tests or as a starting point for revision... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)\nEDIT: 7/6/14 - Added Mark Schemes to the worksheets!

These 5 powerpoints have been made to go with the Edexcel book and cover the entire M1 course! Most of the examples are from the book but I have included others where necessary. If you like this then please check out my other stuff on here (there are equivalent sets of powerpoints for C1-4, S1, M2 and FP1-2!)\n\nEDIT: 9/6/14: Added Mark Schemes to the worksheets!

This set of 9 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Core Pure Mathematics Year 1/AS textbook (for Further Maths), and have largely been adapted from my previous A-level 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. There are also some Autograph files included - the hyperlinks in the presentations should work if these are placed in the same folder as the powerpoints themselves!

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

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!

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! :)

These 4 powerpoints have been made for the Cambridge IGCSE course and cover the section on functions. Pupils learn about function notation and what it means, and see how to approach problems involving composite and inverse functions. The textbook has the relevant exercises! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils imagine they are a secret agent. They have to get across each map without being detected by guards or security cameras. To do this they construct Loci to show which areas are safe and which aren't. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: When the pupils start the task, say that the task is to show the areas which are UNSAFE. If you say they need to find a safe route through, they will all just estimate it without using the Loci!
