I have put together these sets of questions for students to practise their calculator skills ahead of the GCSE Calculator Paper. The questions involve students typing in a calculation into their calculators, writing down all the digits on their calculator display and then rounding their answers to a given number of either decimal places or significant figures. I aim to use these as a starter in each lesson/revision session leading up to the calculator paper. Answers included.

A set of 5 different pixelated images to create by joining coordinates. These resources are very popular on the TES and I decided to make my own for my students as I enjoy doing them just as much as they do. Included are: a heart, a ‘minion’ (from the ‘Despicable Me’ films), the ‘bat logo’, a Dragon (for St. George's Day) and ‘Iron Man’. All images include both a 1st quadrant only and all 4 quadrants set of coordinates so you can differentiate for your students’ abilities. All answers included

This bundle includes: Order or Operations, Solving Equations & Substitution. An engaging activity for students to consolidate their learning. Students answer the questions on the sheet and then, once they have the answer, colour in the corresponding section of the large grid to create a pattern. All details are fully explained in the resource itself, with lots of additional ideas as to how to get the best out of the resource, including: extension activities, challenge questions and suggested variations on the activity. All answers included

This is the first of 17 Mathematics sheets in the 'Raymond&'s Rovers&'; series of my Mathematics Sheets. I use this sheets with Year 11s for revision purposes. Questions 1-5 are aimed at Foundation Tier & Questions 6-10 are aimed at Higher Tier To find out more about how they can be used follow this link to my blog: http://mrcollinsreflectivejournal.blogspot.com/2011/08/mr-collins-table-sheets.html

A complete notebook file for teaching both circumference and area of circles. All answers are included in the resource as well as learning outcomes, animations and starter/plenary tasks. All details of how I’ve used the resource are included as well as suggestions as to how use each slide

Run your very own game of ‘Deal or No Deal’ with this complete set of resources. Included are: a IWB (notebook) file that includes the main game board with amounts to swipe away, just like on the TV show, and your very own Banker’s phone call sound effect. Also, there is a random box generator, questions template and a specific circle theorems game board. I have also included some useful notes for teachers, which includes a link to my blog post providing further information on how to run the game. Your students will love this...you just need to get some boxes (ask your Art/DT department)!

This is a complete set of lessons on forming and solving linear equations. SMART notebook file for use with the IWB. Starter involves solving linear equations, with all answers included. Forming equations from 'wordy' type questions Forming equations from geometric scenarios - those that involve areas/perimeters of shapes Forming equations from geometric scenarios - those that involve angles within shapes, on straight lines, around a point, etc - a recap on basic angle rules is included too. Lots of examples to go through with your students as well as questions to pose to them. Includes 'Finish Him' type plenary questions and LOs.

A whole lesson on SMART notebook to teach students how to solve inequalities and represent the solution on a number line. Number lines worksheet also included with 10 number lines to a page for students to work on. Notebook file includes: Starter - putting the correct inequality sign between 2 numbers and writing an inequality for a solution given on a number line (this is mainly to test their prior knowledge)! Solving linear equations task, complete with answers to review this skill and link in with solving the inequalities. Examples for you to go through with your students before giving them questions to attempt. Blank number lines to get students to come to the board to answer questions, before revealing the answers (included).

This is a lesson I teach on Circle Theorems. The main resource is the notebook file which contains details on the starter task (see below), all circle theorems explained and detailed for students to copy on A3 paper (this is how I usually get them to do it), then 10 multiple choice questions to answer using my ABCD Fans (see my free resources)[can also use mini whiteboards]. The starter task, separate wsheet for students, involves them picking out parts of the diagram shown to identify angle facts already known - angles in a triangle, quadrilateral etc. This is then on the notebook file which is interactive and layered, allowing you to pull out certain features to explain to students.

This is a nice activity to get students using BIDMAS. The activity involves students being given a calculation on entering your classroom - print and cut out slides 4-7. The students answer the question (using BIDMAS) to find the location of their seat for the lesson. Each seat in the class will need to be numbered before the lesson - Print slides 8-39. You can give certain students certain questions to ensure they are sat in certain seats. Then, once they've found their seat they should attempt the rest of the questions where the answers are the numbers between 1-32. The great thing about this task is that students often get the answers wrong and you end up getting 2 or more students thinking they are in the same seat, hence discussion occurs as to who is correct! They can then use each other to answer the questions on the worksheet! All answers included.

10 different Mathematical ‘battles’ for your class to play in teams via the IWB. Students (in teams), on mini whiteboards, answer the questions on the grid shown. In turns, teams suggest the correct answer to the question(s) and the teacher then changes the colour of that question/answer to that team’s colour (green or blue). The team with the majority of the grid wins. Tiebreaker questions are included. All answers are also included in the resource as well as the teacher instructions on how the animations/controls work and possible variations on how to use the resource.

A set of 100+ Plenary questions/tasks to use in your Mathematics lessons. Print, cut up and laminate each page of this resource before hole punching and binding the ‘sticks’ together for plenty of use in your lessons. Included in the resource, in addition to the 100+ questions/tasks are blank ‘sticks’ for you to create your own questions/tasks, plus suggestions as to how best use this resource with your students.

This is my 'takeaway homework' menu I give to my students. The pdf contains a ready to print version of the menu to give straight to students. The idea is that they choose any task to complete for their homework from the menu. I set these homeworks over a half term and students have to earn a set amount of 'chillies' in these weeks. On the ppt file I have an editable version of the menu for you to change my name etc to suit your students - this can then be printed as above. I also have many examples of work from my students to use for inspiration as to what can be created. There are also some display logos and ideas from my current display board in the word doc. See my blogs below for more details! http://goo.gl/hSj1ER http://goo.gl/s6YAln I love this approach to homework and so do my students.

This is the first of a series of 'stories' I have written for my students. This story involves some dinosaurs ('trinosaurs') in the shapes of common triangles. The 'trinosaurs' love to work out each others' perimeters and areas but have trouble working out their areas when they don't know their heights - cue 'The Pythagosaurus Rex' - who helps the other 'trinosaurs' work out their missing lengths (heights) using Pythagoras' Theorem. The story includes explaining how to find the perimeter and area of triangles (no trig involved), then explaining Pythagoras' theorem and some questions to attempt (answers at the back of the book). All pictures hand drawn by me! I show the story to my students at the start of teaching Pythagoras and get them to read it aloud in class - can be quite fun as it's a change from 'the norm'.

This is a plenary activity I do when teaching Properties of Quadrilaterals. I use my ABCD Fans (see my free resources) for this, but mini whiteboards would work just as well. 10 questions to test students knowledge on the properties of quadrilaterals.
