I'm a secondary Maths teacher in the Midlands, and I love creating interesting and wacky resources. Here I share anything I make that works! Resource that took a significant amount of time to create, full lessons, quick worksheets and interesting games. Feel free to browse, download and try for yourself! But please leave feedback so I can improve them :)

Units of Measure Snakes and Ladders

Units of Measure Snakes and Ladders

Increases in difficulty towards the end of the game. Used for a low ability year 10 group, but can be used with other levels and age groups.\n\nChallenge questions are usually something that can be completed on the board. \n\nFeel free to correct any errors on there, this is one I made during my PGCE.

Volume of Prisms Snakes and Ladders

Recommended by the TES resource team.Increases in difficulty towards the last few questions. Used for a top set year 10 class after being taught how to calculate the volume of a prism. This is the first one I ever made of these and proved very successful when encouraging independent and cooperative learning skills.

Perimeter Lesson Plan

Two part lesson on perimeter for a low ability year 9 group. \n\nThey really found Perry Perimeter engaging and were given time during starter of lesson 2 to create their own cut out of Perry to help them find the perimeter.\n\nLesson ends on a game of Snakes and Ladders (in my other shared resources) which encouraged them to practice their skills as they have low attention spans.
Area Revision Sheet

Area Revision Sheet

This resource was made for a Grade C year 10 group. We had just covered area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and trapeziums. They needed some extra practice, but each one to varying levels and on different areas, so I made this set of 3 sheets to enable them to practice independently. Worked very well for them. \n\nCan also be used for KS3 for revision/practice.\n\nQuestions taken from 10ticks and arranged.
Circle Theorems - Challenge Boards

Circle Theorems - Challenge Boards

(5)
A set of activities used for a top set year 9 KS4 group. Each activity shows a practical application or a proof of one of the circle theorems. Works well as a consolidation exercise.Response to comment from Brunty_genius:The Flintstone problem can be solved by using a right-angle (most of my groups have used the edge of their exercise book) and placing it against the circumference. Mark where the book cuts through the circumference, then join the dots. This gives you the diameter, do it again and where the diameters cross is the centre ;)
Drawing Linear Graphs Activity (3 levels)

Drawing Linear Graphs Activity (3 levels)

(16)
Featured in the TES Secondary Maths Newsletter. These worksheets were created for a bottom set year 8 class, all around level 5-6, with a few capable of level 7 work. The activity is differentiated into three levels, each with a subsequent challenge task. y=mx + c subliminally added to the back of the worksheets to expose pupils to the general formula - worked well in summarising key features of linear graphs and equations.
