I am now a retired teacher having taught for over 40 years in the UK at secondary level. I wanted to share my love of Mathematics and teaching by providing a good set of resources which will more than cover all your needs for as many topics as I can and at good value for money. I am trying to cover many topics from foundation level GCSE up to grade 9 at higher level in a way that is interesting and relevant. I hope you like my style !

Sine, Cosine & Tangent of any Angle for GCSE - With Answers

Sine, Cosine & Tangent of any Angle for GCSE - With Answers

(0)
Aimed at higher level GCSE students, this is a set of worksheets I use to teach my top set how to use the Sine, Cosine and Tangent graphs. There are four worksheets and a display poster which I have always used as a refresher. Useful Trig Values - this is the display sheet which reminds pupils to learn the value of Sin 30°, cos 45° etc. The Sine Of Any Angle - Starts with the graph of y = sin(x) between 0° and 360° and asks students to find the angle whose sine is 0.5 etc. - no point in asking them to find the sine of 150 though as the calculator will do this. The Cosine Of Any Angle - obviously the same idea as the first sheet but using Cosine. The Tangent Of Any Angle - and the same again but using Tan graph. Sin, Cos and Tan Of Any Angle - 26 questions which are miscellaneous, including solving basic trig equations and squares Answer Sheet

Symmetrical Tiles

(0)
This was a short starter which I developed and it turned out to be more demanding than intended. This is a pdf showing three coloured tiles and students are to name which squares should be coloured to give which type of symmetry. Line symmetry is easy to visualize but rotational symmetry not so much. I aimed this at foundation level GCSE but it can be used at Key stage 3 or even 2. A page of blanks is included - You may find them useful…or not

Sums and Differences - A game to develop arithmetic skills in KS2 and KS3

(2)
This was a starter activity for Year 7 originally but I ended up using it for many KS3 class. You are provided with a ‘Blockbuster’ board and 6 double digit numbers. Each cell on the board can be won by finding the two numbers that add or subtract to give the number contained within that cell. One player/team is trying to create a path from top to bottom while the other player/team are attempting to create a path from right to left. The winner is the player/team to complete their path (a draw is impossible). Start with the toss of a coin and then teams take alternating goes - spice it up by adding a timer !

Revise Algebra for Higher GCSe grades 5 - 6

This is a huge document that I use for revision with Higher level / lower ability pupils aiming for grades 5 - 6. There are 3 PDF files consisting of 60 questions of GCSE standard - one looks like and exam paper, one has all the spaces taken out and the third has answers on. The booklets should take around 6 hours at exam pace and covers all the algebra required at that level. I have found these to be tremendously successful and pupils have always appreciated them
