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 6 Statistics of grouped data. Data in class intervals. Practical examples & worksheets.

(0)
The motivation for this was the difficulty learners have with measures of centre of grouped data, and no doubt many otherlearners too. I’ve spent years trying to demonstrate the interval in which the median lies, and watched learners who appeared to follow the method for mean of grouped data, only to watch them go to pieces on tests. So this time I went for kinaesthetic and colourful, my main aim always. The documents are in Word so you can cut my photo if you want. I’ve thrown in a couple of real questions, and there are plenty more about, but very easy to make up in this style. All images (c)2015 Colin Billett
Math Probability Grades 6, 7.  Lots of resources, lots of activities.

Math Probability Grades 6, 7. Lots of resources, lots of activities.

(0)
A set of great stuff for theoretical and practical lessons on probability. Lots of questions, a PowerPoint introduction that can be fitted in at any time, a quiz that could end one lesson or start another, and events for printing on cards and sorting into order of likelihood. Plus a set of questions for recap and revision. Enough for a couple of lessons, and lots of photographs that will give you and the learners ideas for creating your own questions. All images (c)2015 Colin Billett 'Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event. '

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.
