I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Maths KS2 Fractions addition with denominators that are multiples of the same number - simple intro.

(7)
Fractions addition and subtraction - getting more complicated in Year 5, and suitable for revision in Year 6 or above. 'add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number' Simple and colourful presentation in PowerPoint, with plenty of places to pause for class responses, and a single worksheet that gives learners practice in these skills.

6 Resources
Big bundle of resources covering all aspects of GCSE statistics - histograms, cumulative frequency, box and whisker, frequency polygons, and averages of grouped data. Lots of differentiation, and all tried and tested in the classroom.

Math Statistics Grade 8+; two sets multiple-choice questions. Starters, H/W, plenary

Statistics questions from a variety of UK examination papers, suitably changed, and some new ones created to provide a full range, with multiple choice answers added by me. Not yet trailed in the classroom so please advise me of any mistakes. Great for all sorts of things, and easily cut and pasted into shorter versions. Answers to follow, but shouldn't be too difficult to work out.

Maths KS 2 Geometry. Bundle of activities and worksheets. Introduction to geometry and angles.

(1)
Some ideas for KS2 Geometry, covering part of the specs for Year 3. • recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn • identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle • identify pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines. Editable in Word so you can remove the 'Year 3' reference in the headers - I do it for my own recognition. Hence suitable for revision in year 4 and above. Plus a presentation showing horizontal and vertical through photographs.

GCSE Maths Higher Speed Distance and Time

(0)
GCSE Maths Higher Speed Distance and Time questions in PowerPoint. Some a bit easy, to keep the learners going, and some introducing other concepts, like bounds, gradients, and areas under a curve. A new design for use in classroom discussions or on Zoom - questions on the left of the screen with a blank space on the right for filling in the answers - great for letting the learners try their answers to the tutor or the whole class. Two versions - one with solutions after each slide, and one with solutions at the end.

Two PowerPoint lessons on straight line graphs, covering all aspects of GCSE Foundation, then Higher Tier mathematics: plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel and perpendicular lines; find the equation of the line through two given points or through one point with a given gradient identify and interpret gradients and intercepts of linear functions graphically and algebraically Clear presentations with lots of opportunities for learner engagement, and great for use on Zoom or other distance learning opportunities. Can be used simultaneously with learners in a classroom and at home.

Maths KS2 Simple addition & subtraction of fractions, same denominator. Presentation + activities.

(3)
Addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator - UK specs for KS2, Year 3. Great of a bit of revision in Year 4, but learners forget this stuff at every age! Presentation with lots of images and questions, each followed by the answer, or a cut down version with just the questions, and a handout version for the learners to record their own solutions. Colourful, and aiming for class engagement. Plus two worksheets/activities that get the learner shading the fraction sums with a variety of shapes, to see the connection, and a mixed page of addition and subtraction for the learners to complete.

Functional Skills A set of multiple choice quizzes that I created for Functional Skills Mathematics, covering the mathematical topics as revision for functionality. Equally they can be used at any level for starters, fillers, or just a bit of fun. (All images are mine, I think, and mostly taken by me.)
