A presentation for recap of basic addition and subtraction.
Starts off with a whiteboard activity and then some worded questions and an addition grid.
A great lesson starter or revision activity.
A great worksheet helping students understand how one fact elicits 3 others. (e.g. if you know 2 x 4 = 8. you also know that 4 x 2 = 8, 8 / 4 = 2, and 8 / 2 = 4).
A great introductory or revision lesson on factors, primes and multiples.
Lots of interactive activities and good explanations.
Includes a grid puzzle and a worksheet / homework sheet.
A lesson on prime factors including a presentation and worksheet.
The presentation is very interactive and includes a factor tree race (I have often asked students to come up to the front whiteboard to do this - they love it!)
The worksheet includes lots of examples in 4 sections so can be easily differentiated.
An activity to test students’ knowledge on averages (mean, median, mode) and range with some problem solving questions.
Can be done as an interactive lesson where the first to find the answer / first one of a pair wins a point etc.
A lesson to recap how to convert between different units, includes units of area and how we must square the conversion factor, and some problem solving questions.
An activity where students must decide which graph is best to represent different types of data (comparing bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts). A great opportunity to help students get into the habit of justifying their answers with mathematical reasoning.
A presentation with interactive activities on averages from grouped frequency tables.
Also includes an extension worksheet on interpreting data from grouped frequency tables.
A worksheet for students to practice rounding to estimate (decimal places & significant figures). Includes a helpful guide, practice questions and a problem solving question.
A great in-lesson worksheet or homework activity.
A bit of a mash-up lesson revising Surds, Rationalising the Denominator, Expanding Brackets, Factorisation and Difference of 2 Squares and includes advanced practice questions on all of the above (up to A* GCSE level).
I used this with a Y11 group who had completed the GCSE syllabus but were taking Level 2 Further Maths and it worked great as in introduction to concepts they had seen before but taken to the most advanced level.
Lots of practice questions included.
An introductory lesson to the concept of differentiation, using tangents to curves to demonstrate (via the contextual representation of rate of change).
I used this with a top set Y11 group who were studing for Level 2 Further Maths however it would also work great for a new Y12 group.
Includes a presentation, practice questions and exercises.
A presentation introducing changing the subject of a formula at an advanced level.
I used this with a Y11 Level 2 Further Maths group but it would be great for Y12 too.
Includes presentation, practice questions and a challenge at the end (deriving the quadratic formula - something I didn’t do until I got to university but my Y11’s did great!)
A presentation and worksheet introducing matrix transformations of points.
The worksheet is particularly useful as it will help students in future to help identify the relationship between the matrix and the geometrical transformation.
I used this with Y11 Level 2 Further Maths students but would be great for Y12 too.
A differentiation worksheet I created for my Y11 Level 2 Further Maths group but it would work great for Y12 too.
Includes differentiation of basic functions, finding the gradient of the curve at specific points, finding stationary points, problem solving, finding where functions are increasing and decreasing.
A presentation recapping negative and fractional indices and introducing solving equations with negative and fractional indices. Lots of example questions WITH ANSWERS!
A presentation introducing the concept of algebraic proof with worked examples.
Includes lots of practice questions and a sheet of examples from simple to really quite complicated.
