Powerpoint and worksheet on plotting Scatter Graphs, identifying correlation and using lines of best fit. The data on the sheet has come from somewhere else but I'm not sure exactly where from! You will need to write over some of the slides... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Powerpoints and worksheets (good as unit tests) for the entire FP2 course, in a similar style to my other A-level stuff. Made for the Edexcel Pearson books but can probably be adapted for other courses. There is a simple geogebra file that goes with the Further Complex numbers PPT, but you'll have to edit the hyperlink! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here (There is a lot of A-level work!) :)

A lesson on the rules Diophantus came up with to create Pythagorean Triples. The main challenge is for higher ability pupils to prove why his method works using algebra. Weaker higher level pupils should still be able to do the numerical version though, and possibly start on the algebraic one... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Quite a varied selection of Diagrams for pupils to try and interpret and draw conclusions from. A bit more interesting than the standard Bar/Line/Pie Chart or Pictogram lesson! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Lesson on using Probability to decide whether games are worth playing, based on the cost of playing and the potential winnings. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Before doing this lesson, pupils should have seen perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, and constructing a perpendicular from a point to a line. The idea in this lesson is that pupils get asked, 'Where is the centre of a triangle?', and have to come up with ways to define what this means, and see if they can use a compass, ruler and pencil to find it. I tend to just pose the question and let them go to town on it! I have included some possibilities and how to construct them, but its more down to them to decide for themselves. There are also hyperlinks in blue where you can show them in more detail, and there are often some puzzled expressions when it seems possible that the centre isn't even in the triangle. Can even bring in centre of mass too! :) If you liked this resource, please check out my other stuff on TES! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/search/?f=authorId%5B2095097%5D

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! :)

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 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! :)

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!

This resource has been made to go with the IGCSE course but should be fine for others. Pupils see how to add Algebraic fractions, as well as deal with some equations with fractions in. There are quite a few topics which need covering before this lesson! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

2 lessons on using Algorithms to generate sequences and coordinate pairs. Good for stretching some high ability pupils with some (probably) new Algebraic notation for them. Also has worksheets for them to do. If the shapes in the Algorithms are wrong, please let me know so I can correct them! if you like this resource them please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Pupils plot graphs of the world records in some events over the last century. They try to explain differences in their graphs and why they take the shape they do. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

I have a shape, created by folding another shape in half. What could the original shape have been? Lots of questions on this idea (you have to look at it to properly understand what it is all about!). You will need to write on the powerpoint in the plenary... Thanks to Fred Angus for originally giving me the idea! If you like this then please check out my other stuff on TES (all on my profile!) :)

Pupils should work in pairs or threes, drawing right-angled triangles of various sizes in their books. They then work out the height to base ratio and the angle that goes with them (effectively creating a 'Tan' table). There is then some discussion of how to use this to answer questions. You will have to write on the powerpoint at some point! You could probably then create a follow up lesson which is a bit more practical... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Pupils are shown how to describe Horizonal, Vertical and some basic Diagonal lines (such as x = 1, y = -2, y = x etc...) They then use these lines to create shapes on a coordinate grid, ensuring they label the lines every time... If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Pupils investigate the Von Koch snowflake and try to find algebraic rules for its area and perimeter. The powerpoint includes handouts at the end as well as a starter and plenaries. Ultimately, the pupils will learn that the perimeter of the UK is infinite! :) If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES!

Three lessons on showing pupils some methods of doing 2 digit multiplications mentally (such as using the difference of 2 squares). I've not gone into the Vedic method here although it could be a good 4th lesson to show them how to multiply any two 2-digit numbers. The numbers they use in these lessons satisfy certain conditions which makes the calculations easier! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Pupils investigate which coordinates it is possible to draw a straight line to from the origin, without passing through any other coordinates. Can lead into highest common factor or be used after it!

I made this based on something I found in my old Maths books from school. As it happens there is also a Boardworks slide which does this really well too. Pupils have to make as many Quadrilaterals as they can by joining points on a 3x3 grid. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
