This is a version of the codebreaker with a fish/aquatic joke. Each of the 40+ comes with answers and provides students with a fun challenge that’s slightly different to working through exercises. These have worked well in online lessons. Topics include algebraic fractions, indices, compound measures, area and perimeter, ratio and proportion, equations of lines, inequalities, measures, volume, expressions and many more. Each of these is available individually for free.

Around 25 codebreakers (answer the questions, reveal the punchline to a joke) in this bundle. There are a number aimed at covering parts of the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate but also ones covering topics on the GCSE curriculum too. Each of these is individually available for free but if you want all of them they are available here.

These are levelled/graded worksheets covering the GCSE curriculum and split up into topics. Each individual sheet builds from the most straightforward elements of the topic through to the most challenging. At the top of each sheet is a “RAG” table for students to complete before and/or after completing each section; every statement in a RAG table is connected to a section in the sheet. I have produced these for two reasons: firstly to allow my Year 11 students to focus their revision on the areas that will make it most efficient and secondly to have a bank of worksheets available that students can differentiate themselves for any GCSE topic within lessons. These are the Word files to allow for editing. Answers are included.

There are 28 Defuse The Bomb worksheets here, each with answers. These are designed to allow students to get on if confident enough to do so with the answers appearing on the sheet enabling the teacher to help those who require it. These have worked well with online lessons. Topics include algebraic fractions, area and perimeter, transformations, HCF/LCM, related calculations, simultaneous equations and surds. Each of these is available for free individually.

These prove popular with many students and colleagues and are perfect for online working due to them spelling out a punchline to a cheesy joke. There are 30 codebreakers in this bundle. Topics covered include: inequalities (regions), cumulative frequency/box plots, probability (including tree diagrams), transformations, circle theorems, set notation, discrete data, factorising quadratics, arc and sectors, averages, statistical graphs and more. Each of these is available individually for free but if you you want them all in one hit then this is for you.

This is a powerpoint covering all areas of Core 2. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practice. If there are any silly errors then let me know so I can correct them but I have been through the entire presentation with students who are keen to point out mistakes!

This is a booklet of 57 worksheets that can be used for either revision, homework or those students who have missed work with each containing a QR code that will scan to a short tutorial video. It is designed to cover the entire GCSE number curriculum. I have tried to order the sheets in a logical way, although not necessarily in "difficulty" order, the topics are grouped. Answers are provided.

A bunch of codebreakers (the usual terrible joke) having solved a load of algebra problems involving functions, arithmetic sequences, inequalities, substitution and other algebra topics. These can be used as a starter or plenary or even part of a main task in a lesson.

All these are available individually for free but if you want a bundle then this is for you. In this lots is a Maths Advent Calendar, two murder mysteries where you can input your own class’ names, a big quiz and some festive codebreakers ranging from easy to fairly tough. All come with answers.

For those who have used these before it is the usual format where students answer questions to reveal a punchline to a cheesy joke. Student seem to like them as they offer a competitive edge and are different from answering questions out of a text book. I use these as starters/plenaries but occasionally as a main task. Topics here include inequalities, linear and quadratic graphs, simultaneous equations, transformations, expanding brackets, factorising expressions (including quadratics), rearranging formulae amongst others. Some of these are already available for free on TES.

This is a powerpoint covering all areas of Core 1. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready.

It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practice.

Answer the Maths questions and reveal the punchline to a fish-related joke. These ahve gone down really well in online lessons but went down well in “normal” lessons before. Topics include angles, area, bearings, simultaneous equation, Venn diagrams, quadratic equations, Pythagoras, trigonometry and many many more on the 45+ tasks, each with answers.

This 270 slide Powerpoint covers all of the first year of the single A Level Applied course (based upon the Edexcel course). It includes explanations, worked examples and questions for students to do. I have included everything, possibly more than you may need but I’d rather give people the option to skip a slide than have to make something up on the spot. Colleagues of mine used this during the first year of the new course. The “Forces and Motion” part has been edited.

This 500+ slide Powerpoint covers all of the first year of the single A Level Pure course (based upon the Edexcel course). It includes explanations, worked examples and questions for students to do. I have included everything, possibly more than you may need but I’d rather give people the option to skip a slide than have to make something up on the spot. I used this during the first year of the new course.
