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. 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.

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!'

(0)
Based on Grade 4 of the Common Standards, this introduction covers the first part of decimals, but is suitable for any age group that is ready for this level, or for a recap at a different level. The recap is based on simple fractions. The main part covers the basics of counting up and down in tenths and recognising that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts. Everything for the introductory lesson, including a recap of simple fractions on paper or slideshow, a main class demonstration/discussion show on decimals, and lots of activities for the learners. Plus lots of places for learners to engage with concrete examples and a plenary. All images ©2015 Colin Billett

Two-way tables are very popular questions, and great for getting learners to think logically. Progressive tasks from simply filling in the missing numbers through to creating tables from scratch. The common standards require learners to use two-way tables to answer questions on conditional probability so I've included a recap quiz that does just that - asks probability questions on a colourful quiz. Plus a lesson plan, so everything you need for a lesson or two. All images ©2015 Colin Billett

A great lesson for getting the learners to work together and do it for themselves. A matching card activity to get them started on a discussion of inequalities. A poster and a PowerPoint display are provided to remind learners of the symbols. An animated PowerPoint presentation of the solutions allows learners to say what they have before the answer pops up. A worksheet provides for consolidation of learning. And finally a quiz is provided for plenary, or recap at the start of the next lesson. This whole lesson always goes down very well in my classroom!
