Whilst reading the Economist I saw a Venn Diagram which illustrated the 4 main political parties policies and so I created a version where the pupils can discuss which policies relate to which political party. I found it useful in Tutor Time to start a discuss around the General Election and it can also be used as an introduction to Venn Diagrams (real life context).

A lesson on finding the circumference of a circle using real life circular objects to engage a low KS4 class.Some resources used are from other TES users - please let me know if this is you and I will credit your work.Please use and let me know what you think.

A set of scaffolded worksheets on cumulative frequency and box plots. They link with the mathswatch clips 151 and 152.

A worksheet designed a piece of homework to follow on from a series of lessons which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/simultaneous-equations-lesson-ks4-6398581 Please use and let me know what you think.

A quick recap of solving equations from Grade E to B. Used with a group who already have knowledge of this topic to reinforce the concepts before an assessment.

A BINGO activity with simplifying algebraic expressions - great to use as a plenary activity or as a starter with an able group to introduce expanding brackets. Also included is a worksheet I made for the topic with progression through simplifying expressions which can be used in class or as homework. Please use and let me know what you think.

A lesson on Substitution into Linear Expressions designed for a KS3 mixed ability group. \n\nThe lesson includes a starter activity using countdown.\n\nDetailed / coloured examples are given on the board with an activity from the Edexcel Foundation textbook. Plenary activity testing pupils understanding towards the end.\n\nPlease use and let me know what you think.

A lesson that I put together on simplifying wonderful Surds! There is also an activity involving expanding brackets where pupil needs to use their knowledge of algebraic manipulation and simplification of Surds. Applications to problems involving shapes too. Please use and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have created on Speed, Distance & Time using Formula 1 data from the start of the 2016 season. Pupils are guided through the SDT triangle and then given the activity alongside information on the PPT - they need to use this to fill in the missing values. Please use and let me know what you think.

A series of lessons on using standard form to write large and small numbers. The lesson also has activities and questions for pupils to try throughout. This was designed for a high ability year 10 class. Some real life applications also used to contextualise the learning. Please use and let me know what you think.

A full lesson put together on Index Laws which builds up students knowledge and introduces lots of different scenarios. There is also an activity used as a plenary to check pupils understanding of indices. Each pupil is given a bingo card and the powerpoint slides has the questions related. Let me know how it works in your classroom!

A lesson I taught for an observation on Factorising Quadratics to a middle ability Year 9 group. This lesson is suitable for groups from Y8 - Y11 depending on ability. Prior knowledge of factorisation with single brackets would be helpful. I have also uploaded the lesson plan for this observation / lesson. Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think. I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).

A worksheet I made to consolidate learning on factorising quadratics. The worksheet progressing up through positive questions and moves onto questions involving negatives. Can be used in class or as homework. Please use and let me know what you think.

A sequence of lessons on Expanding Triple brackets designed for a high ability KS4 group. Prior knowledge of Expanding Double Brackets is required but is covered quickly as part of the starter. The structure of expanding triple brackets is clearly shown and the idea of using Pascals Triangle is introduced (this is not in the GCSE spec but is useful for a top set). Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think.

A sequence of lessons on Simultaneous Equations where 1 is a quadratic designed for a high ability KS4 group. Prior knowledge of Factorising Trinomials is required - a lesson on this can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks4-factorising-trinomials-quadratics-with-a-coefficient-of-x-sqd-lesson-11772891 The structure of solving a Simultaneous Equation is clearly shown and starter activities are used to highlight key topics covered over the previous weeks. Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think. I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).

A lesson I have adapted from other TES users over the years. This lesson begins with a problem and an interactive GIF to demonstrate Pythagoras theorem visually. There are some superb activities here and problems to make students think carefully about applying Pythagoras theorem in different contexts. It is up to you to explore and deepen pupils understanding! A worksheet that I also made which increases steadily in difficulty is attached. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have put together for a mid ability Y9 class on Sequences / Nth Term. This lesson explores sequences in general and aims to deepen pupils understanding of a sequence. There is some practice on generating terms in a sequence, finding the nth term of different sequences and problem solving. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I planned on 3D Pythagoras with some Trig extention tasks for a high ability KS4 class. The worksheet I made to go alongside this lesson is also attached. The lesson is centred around developing problem skills and applying pythagoras theorem in a 3D context. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have planned on prime factor decomposition. There is a bingo activity on HCF / LCM and a nice exploration around applications of HCF / LCM. Leads to use of Venn Diagrams. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I planned for an observation around forming and solving equations. This lesson is designed to deepen students thinking of equations and their applications. There is a fun code breaker activity too. Please use, share and let me know what you think.
