Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics

Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics

(73)
This is designed to take the students from simple expanding a bracket to simple factorising to multiplying out two brackets to factorising quadratics to simplifying algebraic fractions to solving quadratics by completing the square to solving quadratics using the quadratic formula and simultaneous equations involving quadratics. There are questions for each as well as examples and explanations. Between each section there is a 'Where are you now?' section to show progress.
Probability - F to A

Probability - F to A

A powerpoint taking you from chance and probability lines, listing outcomes, the probabiliy of an event not happening and tree diagrams.

Christmas Codebreakers

(88)
Three codebreakers ranging from easy to difficult as you go through them, but all with a Christmas joke (made up by me, so I apologise now) and with all the questions being Christmas-y too. All sorts of topics covered. Hopefully errors corrected (I found one on each sheet!).
Probability Puzzle

Probability Puzzle

Find the letters with the given probabilities to find the punchline to the joke! I'm particularly pleased with this joke as I made it up!!!
Solving Linear Equations

Solving Linear Equations

(80)
A series of lessons taking students through 'I think of a number' problems to simple equations, equations with brackets to letters on both sides to equations with fractional parts.
Indices Codebreakers

Indices Codebreakers

(44)
Four different codebreakers (and jokes) ranging from simplifying numeric indices, moving to algebraic and then onto evaluating negative and fractional indices. Many more terrible jokes in these codebreaker bundles 🔑 GCSE Algebra Codebreaker Worksheet Bundle Number + Probability Codebreakers GCSE Maths Geometry Codebreaker Worksheets GCSE Maths
Negative Numbers Codebreakers
alutwychealutwyche

Negative Numbers Codebreakers

(26)
Two lame jokes from yours truly whose punchlines are unveiled upon answering the negative numbers questions. Number 1 is simple adding and subtracting, number 2 is multiplying and dividing (including Bidmas).
Perimeter, Area and Volume

Perimeter, Area and Volume

(59)
Taking you through counting squares, to rectangle/triangles/parallelograms/trapeziums to compound shapes, circles, cuboids, prisms, sectors/arc lengths, cones, spheres and frustums (phew!). Complete with success criteria etc.
Rounding Codebreakers

Rounding Codebreakers

(52)
Four codebreakers (each with a different cheesy joke) on rounding starting with nearest whole 1,10,100 etc, then decimal places, then significant figures and finally a mixture of all types. Error in sheet 1 corrected. More codebreaker resources 🔑 Cheesebreakers (Cheese-related joke) Bundle Codbreaker (Fish-related Joke) Bundle Number + Probability Codebreakers GCSE Maths
Bidmas Spiders

Bidmas Spiders

(23)
I needed something for my top set Year 8 to get their teeth into regarding "order of operations" and since I'm clearly into spiders at the moment this was born. It asks student to place operations and brackets into calculations to make them equal a certain total. There are 4 that get increasingly difficult (no indices involved) and then a challenge (with indices involved). There will also be more than one way to answer some, but I have provided an answer for each.
Algebraic Fractions Codebreakers

Algebraic Fractions Codebreakers

(22)
Three algebraic fraction codebreakers to solve with the usual terrible jokes. They are of increasing difficulty so choose the one appropriate to your needs.
Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically
alutwychealutwyche

Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

(22)
This is a worksheet with some questions on solving simultaneous equation in three sections. Section 1 is two linear equations; section 2 is a quadratic and y=n; section 3 is a quadratic and y=mx+c. The first two sections fit onto two sides of A4 and part 3 is the extension ultimately. There is a RAG table for students to mark their progress and this can be amended depending on how far you want to go. Students will need to plot graphs and estimate solutions as not all are integers. Typos corrected!
Bodmas Cities

Bodmas Cities

Calculate each question using Bodmas/Bidmas, unjumble the letters and find the name of a famous international city!
Sequences Codebreakers
alutwychealutwyche

Sequences Codebreakers

(28)
Three different codes to crack: number 1 is just finding the next term in the sequence (not all are arithmetic), number 2 is substituting into nth terms (with a simple quadratic or two) and number 3 is finding and using nth terms of arithmetic sequences. Each has a punchline to a joke to find. I use these for starters and plenaries or homeworks as they are very easy to mark. Typo on number 1 corrected.
