Welcome, I have been teaching maths since 2010. I enjoy producing engaging activities to use in the classroom. I don't make anything I wouldn't use myself!

Worksheet for use in class or as homework.
Factorising quadratics with questions categorised between two positive, both negative, etc.
Last question has quadratics where a > 1.
Worksheet on sine rule with one page to work out missing sides and one page for missing angles.
There are regular process questions for each and one problem solving question on each page.
Solutions are included.
Trigonometry questions designed to test students ability to apply their knowledge of basic trigonometry using the sine, cosine and tangent ratios. Includes problem solving questions. Solutions provided!

Students must solve twelve quadratic formulas, some that will require rearranging to reveal the code.
A prize for first to finish is always motivating!
Solutions are included.
Starter on indices/powers

Christmas themed bingo quiz.
Christmas Trivia Quiz. Suitable for a wide age range - year 7 to 13! Includes unique bingo cards for up to 36 students. Ideal for last week before Christmas.
I will be adding a Christmas Trivia Puzzle to my resources over the next day or so :-)
[Christmas Trivia Puzzle Freebie now added here.](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/christmas-trivia-quiz-free-puzzle-activity-12036823)
Fractions Maze
Two differentiated puzzles: the first is shorter with multiplication of proper fractions only. The second is longer, has multiplication and division and also includes mixed numbers.
Good for when you want them to do more fractions but don’t want to use another worksheet or text book!
Solutions are included.
Leaving a rating is always appreciated - thanks.

Christmas Puzzle activity for that last week before Christmas. Christmas themed trivia questions - enjoy and Happy Christmas!
There is also a **Christmas Bingo Freebie **here.
These questions are inspired by Craig Barton’s SSDD questions who got the idea from an article on the benefits of interleaved mathematics by D. Rohrer et al.
SSDD stands for ‘same surface different deep’ and the idea is that as teachers we become overconfident in students ability to use a technique to solve a problem as in most lessons students already know what technique to apply as they have already been told that’s what they will be doing in the lesson. Usually students apply one technique to solve a variety of problems in any one lesson. SSDD questions turn this on its head by having what looks like one problem but students are then asked questions that will require a variety of strategies to solve them.
The aim is that students become more adept at identifying the strategy required to solve the problem without being told this first.
The slides here can be used as they are but could also be adapted and extended for your own use. They are suitable as starters but a collection of questions could be used as the main part of a lesson.
Algebra homework sheet - with collecting like terms, simplifying, substitution. Suitable for KS3 or Foundation. Includes solution sheet.
—If you find this sheet useful please rate or review - thank you :-) —
Sine, cosine and tangent graph drawn on one sheet. Helpful for students to understand the shape of trig graphs, their key intersections and turning points and by drawing horizontal lines to see why there can be multiple solutions to e.g sin x = 1/2.
Fractions homework sheet - with equivalent, cancelling, and fractions of amounts. Suitable for KS3 or Foundation. Includes some worded questions and solution sheet.
