Simple set of slides to demonstrate finding bearings when given some information, and locating things when given two bearings. Follows on from my introduction resource. For worksheets covering foundation, higher, measuring, trigonometry etc, plus a plenary/revision quiz, go to my premium resource. This contains a whole selection of questions adapted from exam questions, and covers the whole of this aspect of the syllabus. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-gcse-bearings-and-scale-drawings-two-differentiated-worksheets-plus-plenary-quiz-in-pp-11505938

Key stage 2 - getting more familiar with fractions: 'compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators' Simple stuff for young learners, or revision at later stages.

A work sheet that utilises a range of formulae from simple shapes to more complex speed/distance/acceleration etc to introduce the concept formulas, the power of generalisation, and being able to intuitively rearrange them. Lots of questions with answers.

A few slides to generate thought and discussion on the issues of inclusion and exclusion, and how we embrace diversity.

GCSE Higher Tier says ‘apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways)’. A clear, colourful and carefully explained PowerPoint presentation building up the skills from simple matching problems to calculating combinations and permutations in a variety of realistic and original settings, with lots of opportunity for the learner to reflect, apply, and evaluate the problems. Also available in my shop are two differentiated worksheets of adapted exam questions from sample and real GCSE assessments. Plus a PDF version that will work on all operating systems.

Maths GCSE Ratio. Part (a) Dividing a given quantity into two parts Introduction suitable for Foundation and Higher Tier, acting as a reminder and revision of KS3 Ratio. Simply as is says - dividing into parts, with PowerPoint introduction and two sets of worksheets.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Mensuration and Calculation included. Twenty seven lessons in all. After getting 'one-star' review on the complementary set, which covers number, ratio etc., I decided to offer a free sample of the first three algebra PowerPoints so you can try them first before you commit to buy them. Find the three free samples here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-samples-gcse-higher-tier-specs-and-objectives-in-powerpoint-for-lesson-plans-display-11163392

Surds are new to the Foundation part of GCSE maths, so I've made a very clear step-by-step PowerPoint that introduces surds, explains irrational numbers, demonstrates how to simplify surds, and gives examples and practice in applying all four rules of arithmetic using surds. Plus rationalising the denominator and more. Throughout the presentation there are groups of questions on each aspect to apply the skills, all with answers. Learners are now expected to appreciate that a surd gives an exact answer rather than a decimal approximation, and an understanding is essential for the new topics in algebra and trigonometry that are now on Foundation. Plus, it could be a very solid introduction to Higher tier surds.

A full set of activities to engage the learners in finding the area of parallelograms and deriving methods and formulas. Good for practice or revision at any stage. Covers the specs for Year 6.

Bearings are on the new GCSE for both foundation and higher tier. I’ve produced worksheets to go with my PowerPoint introductions which you will find for free on TES. The first worksheet covers simple measuring and drawing of bearings, and applying simple geometry. The plenary quiz is great for rounding off the lesson, reviewing learning in a following lesson, or later revision. Two versions, one with immediate answers after each question, and one with answers following all the questions. Both PowerPoints also come as PDFs so will open on any system and look as they should. The second worksheet moves on to trigonometry, covering distances in triangles using Pythagoras, and finding bearings using simple trig ratios in right angled triangles. The second half of the worksheet covers the higher aspect of trig - sine rule and cosine rule to find bearings and distances. Answers also included for both worksheets. The free introductions are found at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-gcse-bearings-doing-the-simple-geometry-for-foundation-11494933 and: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-gcse-bearings-introduction-how-to-read-and-write-bearings-colourful-presentation-11491326 All images © Colin Billett, 2017

An extremely useful resource that has almost unlimited application. I've taken the GCSE Maths specifications for 2015 and converted them into MS Word tables, landscape and portrait, mostly fitting on to one side for each area - number, algebra, etc. They can be used for planning lessons, schemes of work, cutting and pasting into lesson aims and objectives, or for recording pupil/learner achievement on each objective. In Word they are very adaptable, and columns can be added as required, for dates etc.

Maths Key Stage 2. Lots of questions in the style of SATs from right across the range of papers. Great for revision, practice, or checking learning at later stages, for example KS3 or Foundation GCSE. Using mathematics to solve problems using all four rules. In Word and PDF for ease of editing or printing.

A set of engaging activities to give the learners the concept of area. National Curriculum Year 4 mathematics. Area by counting squares, area of rectangles as arrays, and addition and subtraction of rectangles to find the area of a rectilinear shape. Statutory requirements Pupils should be taught to: • find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares Notes and guidance (non-statutory) They relate area to arrays and multiplication. But also great for revision in Year 5 and above. I've done this sort of thing with Foundation GCSE!

Two sets of questions, differentiated by paper, for learners to complete. Plus answers. Counting has always been on Foundation, so quite easy for learners. Sophisticated counting strategies are new to the GCSE higher tier. The specs say: apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways) Hence also suitable for revision at A Level Statistics. All questions follow the format of 2017 exams across the boards, and the SAMs and Mocks available.

Maths. Descriptors and specifications for UK Key Stage 4, although equally adequate for KS3. All lovingly put into word clouds using Wordle. I made B/W versions some time ago, but now I've been asked for colour, so here they are. Copyright on final images (c)Colin Billett 2015 And all credit to Wordle, as cited on the website: 'May I make money off of Wordle images? Yes. You may take a Wordle, put it on your book cover, your t-shirt, your campaign poster, what have you. You may get rich off it. If you want to give credit to wordle.net, feel free!' So again, all credit to wordle.net, and many thanks! Any problems, please let me know and I can change the formats.

Straightforward set of questions on standard form, adapted and adopted from genuine past exam papers. Arranged for developing the complexity, and for printing and accessibility. Includes converting between standard form and ordinary numbers, ordering, multiplication and division, and a few word problems. Specs for KS4: 'interpret and compare numbers in standard form Nothing fancy - just a full set of questions reflecting those set by the big exam boards.

A recap of surds and simplifying expressions with surds, then a full presentation of multiplying brackets and surds, including the conjugate of a binomial. simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions (including those involving surds) by: collecting like terms multiplying a single term over a bracket taking out common factors expanding products of two binomials Lots of points to stop for the learner to try three of four examples, and each questions slide followed by the answers slide. Also suitable for A’level revision! And plus a PDF version should you have problems with the PowerPoint.
