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, KS3 or GCSE revision. Factors, multiples and prime numbers. Full lesson plan.

(0)
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
Maths KS2 Prepare for SATs - 12 pages of arithmetic all four rules in the style of SATs questions.

Maths KS2 Prepare for SATs - 12 pages of arithmetic all four rules in the style of SATs questions.

(0)
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.
Maths KS 2 Simple Symmetry for all.

Maths KS 2 Simple Symmetry for all.

(0)
Simple reflection to introduce the concept. A dozen butterflies to sort, and half a dozen for the learners to make their own symmetrical butterflies. And two sides of square shading shapes to complete. Plus a second set with assorted shapes to complete. Year 4 • identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations • complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry. Pupils draw symmetric patterns using a variety of media to become familiar with different orientations of lines of symmetry; and recognise line symmetry in a variety of diagrams, including where the line of symmetry does not dissect the original shape.

Standard Form GCSE. Five sides of questions adapted from GCSE papers for easy use in the classroom.

(0)
Straightforward set of questions on standard form, adapted and adopted from genuine past exam papers. Arranged for developing the complexity, and for printing and accessibility. Includes converting between standard form and ordinary numbers, ordering, multiplication and division, and a few word problems. Specs for KS4: 'interpret and compare numbers in standard form Nothing fancy - just a full set of questions reflecting those set by the big exam boards.

Real life data to give the learners lots of practice using standard form. Easy conversion exercises leading to questions requiring calculation. All suitable for the current KS3 specs as well as solid revision and practice for GCSE. Standard Form KS3 • interpret and compare numbers in standard form A×10n, 1≤A GCSE calculate with and interpret standard form A × 10n, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer

GCSE Mathematics. Revision + equation of a line joining two points, and finding perpendicular lines

(0)
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.

Math High School Geometry trigonometric ratios from similar triangles. Introduction to tangent ratio

(0)
Common Core Standards Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles 6. Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles. Everything you need to deliver a full lesson (or two) to introduce trigonometry through similar triangles and the tangent function. Presentation, activities, worksheets, along with answers, covering all aspects of the Common Core Standards. Please leave comments, suggestions or corrections.

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.
