An extension of a NRich problem whereby students investigate a 10 dot circle (printout available from NRICH under printable resources). \n\nThe problem begins by consolidating isosceles triangles within a 10 dot circle. The problem then moves into exploring a series of circle theorems using the triangles they found from the first 2 problems. \n\nOnce students have done this they have the basis from which to generalise circle theorems.

I couldn't find a good resource on area of a segment so I spent some time developing one.\n\nThe idea is to provide students with 5 breadcrumbs that then lead to the final outcome, namely solving segment area problems. \n\nThe powerpoint has 5 steps that provide practice of all the assumed knowledge and this then enables student to guess the objective of the lesson and subsequently solve two A* questions taken from the &'Bland&'; question papers ( A* questions, Paper 2) which couldn't be linked.

A PPT file support the discovery of interior angle properties of polygon. This is a follow on lesson based around a table with the number of side, number of triangles and interior angle sum columns. \n\nA number of tasks at the end extend the ideas beyond the previous lesson.

Students create their own percentage questions at grades B and C with bonus questions being made at grade A. Students create as opposed to answer ensuring they develop a generality as to the question types and can better identify the processes required.

The powerpoint used to create a near pod presentation. Couldn't share the NPP because of TES rules.

Three problems designed to get students learning by pursuing answers to big problems, consolidating understanding as they go.

I wasn’t quite happy with what was out there so created these 3 files. One blank, one complete(potentially a knowledge organiser for quadrilaterals) and a third for a quick quiz. Bonus resource on Always, Sometimes, Never related to quadrilaterals.

A selection of starters/do nows to aid National Careers Week and the application of mathematics to a wide variety of jobs.

A tarsia puzzle designed to develop students' use of trigonometric identities. Useful for both initial teaching and revision and recap for C2. Involves numerous problems all requiring the application of the two most basic trigonometric identities.

An opportunity to recap and revise simultaneous equations with a versatile resource. Idea 1 - Roll the dice to select the question and then race in pairs or small groups to gain the answer. Counters can be used to award point for the team with the first correct answer. Idea 2 - Connect 4. In pairs answer the question of your choice with the aim of forming 4 in a row. Idea 3 - In pairs take it in turns to roll a pair of dice and complete the question. A correct answer and you control the square, otherwise you partner has a turn to steal. Winner has the most squares.

Lesson crafted to enable all students to draw quadratics with the outcomes: To substitute values into quadratics. To draw quadratic graphs. To find solutions to quadratics graphically. Easily adaptable to more difficult quadratics.

Prime factor decomposition is an deal opportunity to build it something a little different with an Optimus Prime factor decomposition relay. In pairs or teams students receive the first piece of the puzzle and are instructed to write the number as the product of its prime. On successful completion they receive the second piece and so on. It culminate with a race to build the transformer that then leads to the ultimate conclusion that prime factorisation is simply about transforming numbers from one look to another without changing who they truly are! PDF attached for ease and a word document attached so that you can edit the difficulty and create your own. The lesson that I typically accompany the activity with is also included.

Use the mix of 3 resources to introduce maximums, minimums and points of inflection. Students are encouraged to refer to graphs drawn via the free Desmos Graphing Calaculator and complete the set of rules they need to go on to tackle the chapter exercises or past exam questions. They'll also have a model answers to annotate and analyse for a method.

Lesson designed to teach the following objectives in a high pace, clear progress and differentiated manner to a KS3 group. To identify integer values of inequalities. To show inequalities on a number line. To read inequalities off a number line. The first power point contains all worksheets, progress checks, extension tasks and quiz quiz trade cards. The second is edited just to include the slides that are presented to the students.

Exploring sequences through a series of big problems that encourage students to find multiple methods. There are additional questions to promote deeper thought and understanding around a new method or technique. We begin at finding the nth term and conclude with ‘is a term part of a sequence?’. I’ve removed resources used to practise and consolidate methods due to restictions but all content is freely available from corbettmaths.com and variationtheory.com
