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.

Math Grade 4 Multiple resources for recognising and generating sequences, plus revision of Grade 3.

(0)
Grade 4 Presentation warm up, two more sequences sets on PowerPoint, and two worksheets, the second quite challenging. Plus a ‘sticks and dots’ pattern set with lots of pictures. '5. Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.'

Math Geometry Angle Sum of Polygons. Investigation, illustrations and questions.

(0)
All you need for a lesson covering: derive and use the sum of angles in a triangle and use it to deduce the angle sum in any polygon, and to derive properties of regular polygons. A simple example of a triangle sum proof, an investigation into angle sums in both PowerPoint and Word, for classwork or individual work, and plenty of questions for learners to try. Plus a PowerPoint illustrating a variety of tessellation for learners to consider the geometry involved, and hence deduce necessary angle properties.

Maths Grade 6 Algebra Expanding & factorizing simple brackets through area of rectangles. Lots!

(0)
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y. Card matching activity with rectangles in algebraic form, answers with and without brackets or parentheses. PowerPoint presentation with solutions for class checking. Worksheet of twelve questions each of expanding and factorizing using same method, with boxes. Second PowerPoint for starter or checking learning. Three more short worksheets of mixed questions. Plus ‘objectives’ slide. All you need for this straightforward topic, and lots of opportunity for discussion.

These have been enormously popular. I teach a number of people who are far more artistically minded than mathematical, so I produced some visual displays to illustrate equivalences. Run the PowerPoint, or print off some slides for display. I've also added a few posters by way of example of how you might use the individual slides. For classroom activities I’ve included five pages of shapes to color for fractions etc to keep or display. Everything included in editable format, so use as many slides as appropriate for your age group or grade, or change the shapes pages as required. All images ©2015 Colin Billett

GCSE Maths KS4 specifications for 2017 onwards in Word - great for planning

(0)
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.

Learners always need practical activities - colourful and kinaesthetic as they remind me, and Geoboards are great way of showing so much to do with shape and space. I've done simple templates, for learners to record, and also for using on a Smartboard. A variety of formats, with a few simple questions, but lots more can be asked. An &'open&'; resource for all types of thing.
