I wrote this for those pupils who have difficulty with the traditional methods of solving linear equations, and it has gone down rather well so far. I found that some pupils didn't even need to use a set of algebra tiles. They were happy to simply visualise what was happening in the PowerPoint presentation whilst solving their equations. I hope it works for you.

Pupils often find it difficult to visualise the centre of rotation for 90 degree rotations. So instead of the trial and error approach that they often employ, try this instead. I wrote this short PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate how it works. There are 3 examples and it finally makes use of the often redundant set square! Do let me know how it goes. Thanks Paul

This is always very popular with my pupils and could certainly be edited to suit any topic in any subject. I usually use this particular resource as a revision aid.

An excellent resource that shows alternative approaches to solving simple trig. ratio problems. Each problem is solved using\n\n(i) the CAST diagram\n(ii) a graphical approach\n(iii) a quick method.\n\nThe PowerPoint begins with an explanation of how the CAST diagram works. These slides are aimed at the more inquisitive student and are not compulsory.

A collection of all entries for the ‘Maths Jokes, Puns & One-Liners’ Twitter Olympiad 2021 by @TeachFMaths. Each joke is presented on a separate A4 page, including a colourful border. These would make a great classroom or school corridor wall display. In fact, they’re already on my own classroom wall! Cheers Paul Hunt @TeachFMaths on Twitter
