I'm a secondary school maths teacher with a passion for creating high quality resources. All of my complete lesson resources come as single powerpoint files, so everything you need is in one place. Slides have a clean, unfussy layout and I'm not big on plastering learning objectives or acronyms everywhere. My aim is to incorporate interesting, purposeful activities that really make pupils think. I have a website coming soon!

A* GCSE maths paper
danwalkerdanwalker

A* GCSE maths paper

(104)
A truly 'mock&' paper I put together of ONLY A* questions (each on a different A* skill), complete with model answers Can&';t remember where I got the list of A* skills from. I give this out at the start of the course and dip into it when we can - it really motivates the pupils to know they are reaching A* standard. Mistakes from earlier version now corrected.

Ratio robberies

A fun 'investigation&' using ratio and problem solving skills. Slightly dark theme of thieves sharing the profits of different robberies. Made by another TES user &';taylorda01' (thanks for the resource!) but I wanted to add answers to it.
Standard form collect a joke
danwalkerdanwalker

Standard form collect a joke

(27)
Non-calculator sums with standard form is a boring topic, so what better than a rubbish joke to go with it? Pupils answer questions and use the code to reveal a feeble gag.
Algebra Cluedo
danwalkerdanwalker

Algebra Cluedo

(37)
Pupils eliminate suspects/weapons/rooms by completing worksheets on a range of algebra topics including substitution, expanding, factorising, linear & quadratic equations, algebraic fractions and simultaneous linear equations. Works well as revision or as a competition. Also includes answers and a worksheet to remind pupils of techniques required.
Percentage problems lock game
danwalkerdanwalker

Percentage problems lock game

(26)
Worksheet where answers to questions are used to obtain a 3-digit code (which I set as the combination to a lockable money box containing a prize). Questions on a mixture of all the GCSE-standard percentage skills.
Algebraic manipulation maze
danwalkerdanwalker

Algebraic manipulation maze

(32)
Maze consists of squares containing identities, some of which are false. Pupils can only pass through squares containing true identities. Identities require ability to expand & factorise quadratic expressions and simplify algebraic fractions, so really only good for a GCSE top set. Extension - pupils find identities of incorrect squares and then design their own maze (there's a good discussion to be had about how to make a good maze - including common misconceptions to fool people).
FDP cluedo
danwalkerdanwalker

FDP cluedo

(33)

(23)
The first of two complete lessons on distance-time graphs that assumes pupils have done speed calculations before. Examples and activities on calculating speed from a distance-graph and a matching activity adapted from the Mathematics Assessment Project. Printable worksheets and answers included. Please review it if you download as any feedback is appreciated!
Percentage of amount maze
danwalkerdanwalker

Percentage of amount maze

(31)
Maze consists of squares containing questions with answers, some of which are wrong. Pupils are only allowed to pass through squares containing correct answers. Extension - pupils design their own maze. I like to discuss how to make the maze harder by including classic misconceptions like divide by 5 to get 5%
Binomial expansion lock game
