A scheme of work i made based on OCRs specification, designed for our students who won't be entered for GCSE maths.

Some question on sharing in ratios

These are for an introductory lesson i did with a very low ability GCSE group.

A grid showing variables, the students have to work out which are related, e.g. time spent revising and mark on test are related. Going through students answers i tend to use one colour to match up direct relationships and another to match up indirect and ask them to think about what the red relationships have in common and what the blue relationships have in common. Will this relationship be blue or red?
