A full set of resources to deliver the construction and interpretation of frequency polygons. Includes warm up starter activity on collecting data, PowerPoint on how to draw a frequency polygon, activities for the learners to undertake, and a plenary slide-show with suitable questions for checking learning. All data genuine and gathered this year in the UK.

A handful of activities I did to get the topics started for my adult GCSE and re-sit classes, largely so I could introduce them whilst seated during my convalescence. At the same time they might be useful for younger learners and for quick revision.\nAfter years of laying out cards I realised it was just as easy to print PowerPoint slides as handouts, six to a page, and do that on card. So there are equations to match to solutions, and a few other PowerPoints. Enjoy.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting poor feedback, I decided to make the first three as free samples, so do check them out before you buy this full set. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-sample-specifications-and-objectives-for-gcse-higher-tier-3-lessons-in-powerpoint-11163375

Introduction to factors, multiples and prime numbers, with activities, worksheets, and SAT style questions for practise or assessment. Great for revision at KS3 or Foundation GCSE. Plenty to engage, and some more challenging questions. Mathematics Curriculum KS2 Year 5 Pupils should be taught to: • identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, • know and use the vocabulary of prime numbers • establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19 They use and understand the terms factor, multiple and prime, and square numbers. Year 6 • identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers

Three sets of equations, all fairly simple linear and suitable for anyone from Year 6 upwards. Great for quick thinking, mental maths, abstract thinking, and reverse operations. And it might give you ideas for making some of your own. Better still - get the learners to make one using a camera/phone/scanner and PowerPoint or a simple slide show.

Everything you need for a lesson (or two) on reading and interpreting a cumulative frequency graph. Starter activity on PowerPoint to review average and range, with common mistakes and a more challenging question; a presentation in PowerPoint on reading and interpreting a cumulative frequency graph with two examples; learner activities, four questions in Word or PDF; a plenary presentation in PowerPoint to check learning.

Rainbow coloured circle timer - lasts about a minute, but don't rely on accuracy. Pretty!

GCSE Mathematics - Foundation and Higher Tier. Finding the equation of a line through two points and perpendicular lines. A worksheet/activity that reminds learners of the algebraic form of a straight line, and goes on to finding the equation of a line joining two points and find the equations of perpendicular lines. Lots of GCSE style questions. Foundation Tier Plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel lines; find the equation of the line through two given points or through one point with a given gradient. Higher Tier 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.

Expanding Binomials and Factorising Quadratic Expressions Objectives: To be able to: • expand products of two binomials • factorise quadratic expressions of the form x2+ bx + c, including the difference of two squares All the research says that girls learn best by understanding, and that by far the best approach to expanding and factorising is by using the grid method. I’ve done this very successfully for years, and retention is greatly improved by giving as little input as possible, and giving the learners challenges to complete. Plus an investigation to give that stretch and challenge. A full set of resources for learning how to expand and factorise, with a PowerPoint that can be used for class discussion. Plus some extra exercises for homework or assessment in a subsequent lesson. And a reminder of multiplication and addition of positive and negative numbers for a quick warm-up. All answers included!

Forty six questions of general arithmetic in the style of UK SATs papers from 2000 onwards at KS2. The difficulty is deliberately spread through each of the two sections so that learners who find one question difficult can move on and still find accessible questions later. Great for revision at any time during the year, and quite appropriate for KS3 aiming for Foundation GCSE. In fact, good for any time when learners need a bit of practice on the sort of questions they will meet in exams and tests.

Surds and and an understanding of irrational numbers are new to GCSE Foundation, so I’ve produced a clear and simple PowerPoint for classroom use to introduce the topic. Other stuff available on working with surds etc. I’ve added a pdf version to solve the problem of different versions of PowerPoint and some images not working well on ppt.

Maths GCSE Foundation & Higher. Surds & irrational numbers, three activities or investigations in shape and measure. Finding the length of a the side of a square that leads to an irrational number. Comparing ratios of paper sizes to derive the ratio of length to width for A4 paper. Finding the area and perimeter of the pieces of a tangram. All good stuff that leads the learner through different process to derive lengths and areas using surds, and to add and simplify with surds. Needs knowledge of Pythagoras, which is KS3. So great for revising Pythagoras with surds.

I teach 16 plus learners in a thirty or so week programme for GCSE - some retake and some new learners. What I have done here is put the Edexcel Linear A new scheme into the weekly slots, and devided all the criteria/spec statements into Aims and Objectives. I wouldn't expect anyone to follow the same order, or keep my jokes, but please copy slides as you want. \nInspectors love to see the aims pasted up, so I use PowerPoint.

Everything needed to introduce algebra in Key Stage 2 (Year 6) or to revise and build upon it in KS 3 or later. Formulas, sequences, missing numbers, number patterns and missing number problems. Presentations, worksheets, activities and assessments covering the whole of algebra in Year 6, and also suitable for older learners. Lots of opportunities for deep thinking, and for differentiation, and all suitable for editing if required. Most have answers. And many questions based on previous SATs. All written to new UK standards (2015). Year 6 Algebra Pupils should be taught to: • use simple formulae • generate and describe linear number sequences • express missing number problems algebraically • find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns • enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables. Notes and guidance (non-statutory) Pupils should be introduced to the use of symbols and letters to represent variables and unknowns in mathematical situations that they already understand, such as: • missing numbers, lengths, coordinates and angles • formulae in mathematics and science • equivalent expressions (for example, a + b = b + a) • generalisations of number patterns • number puzzles (for example, what two numbers can add up to).

A simple little activity that can get the learners thinking - no more than a warm up. Ask the question, and show the second screen. You don't need to face the screen, just know the position of the cards. A learner tells you which cards (first, second, third etc.) contain the date of their birth. The rest is the puzzle!

Developing area and perimeter to look at shapes with same areas but different perimeters, same perimeters but different areas, and equal area and perimeter. Engaging activities for the learners. Covers Year 5, but good for revision and practice at later stages.

Ordering of fractions for Year 3 of KS2. Revision of work in Year 2, then a PowerPoint presentation with identical worksheet. Use the PowerPoint as answers, or for class work on an interactive board. Great for discussion of equivalences, percentages or decimal equivalences. Entirely suitable as revision in later years. Specs: 'compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators' Notes and guidance (non-statutory) They begin to understand unit and non-unit fractions as numbers on the number line, and deduce relations between them, such as size and equivalence. They should go beyond the [0, 1] interval. Full lesson of activity.

Area and perimeter at Key Stage 2, but also good for revision and practice at any stage. Questions in the style of SATs.

Short presentation to define and demonstrate perimeter, with pages of activities, worksheets, and a full assessment based on previous SATs KS2. Colourful, and can be extended in many ways, with centicubes for example. KS2 – Year 4 - Perimeter Statutory requirements Pupils should be taught to: • measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres Notes and guidance (non-statutory) Perimeter can be expressed algebraically as 2(a + b) where a and b are the dimensions in the same unit.
