This lesson introduces students to the logarithm to a given base. There is a series of worked examples and concludes with the graph of y=logx.

The worksheet can be used in class or as a piece of homework for student to demonstrate their ability to add number together. Students could write on the sheet, however I often have them answer on paper or in their books.

This powerpoint can be used over two or three lessons as revision for removal of one bracket, two brackets and three brackets. Also it can be used to revise factorising through the use of one bracket, two brackets. Each section consists of two or three worked examples followed by several questions for the students to answer. I get the students to copy down the worked examples as we work through them and then they are left to attempt the given questions before we run through the solutions at the board. All answers are given.

This revision lesson looks at working out a percentage of a quantity with a calculator. The revision continues then looks at percentage increase, decrease and concludes with compound measures. The lesson is therefore ideal for both foundation or higher level students.

This PowerPoint is a revision lesson were students revise the ability to work out y coordinates for a given quadratic curve and then draw the curve. The lesson is structured so that they follow two examples at the board before attempting the next two by themselves, before looking at a couple of more complicated questions. Then once again having a go at a couple. The revision lesson (as with most of my revision lessons) are designed to last at least one hour in length. I tend to get the students to copy the examples in their book.

This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for either linear sequences or quadratic sequences. The spreadsheet will also provide the answers. Once the sheet is generated print the sheet. The cover the answers and send the font to white (this hides the answers) print this sheet. Repeat for newly generated worksheets. Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.

This series of over 20 tests (and answers) helps students retain the ability to answer questions on a range of topics. The topics consist of Dividing into a given ratio nth term of a linear sequence Converting decimals into fractions Fractions (add, multiply and divide) Area of triangles, rectangles and circles Converting between mm, cm, m and km Collecting like terms. Removing brackets Solving simple equations Multiplying decimals Percentages of a quantity Expressing as a percentage Compound percentages Probability of a single event. Probability of two events when two spinners are spun Distance/Speed/Time Density/Mass/Volume

These worksheets (and answers) look at solving simple equations moving u to solving equations involving a bracket. I use these worksheets initially to compliment the lesson being taught and subsequent worksheets are follow up through out the year to help with retention.

Introduction lessons to fractions of a quantity ideal for Key stage 2 or key stage 3 children. The first lesson looks at one half, one third, etc... of a quantity followed by one or two worksheets if required. The second lesson then looks at slightly more complicated fractions of a quantity. Again with worksheets to accompany the lesson.

This series of worksheets looks at sequences. Continuing a sequence, the nth term of a linear sequence and the nth term of a quadratic sequence. I use these worksheets initially to accompany the lessons being taught and then as followup work to help with retention.

This Powerpoint can be used over approximately three lessons. The lessons introduce the knowledge of the surd. The understanding of simplifying a surd or an arrangement using surds and then concludes with the more complicated surd questions we see in the new GCSE structure. The Powerpoint is accompanied with two worksheets and answers, which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.

This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for percentage questions. The spreadsheet will also provide the answers. Once the sheet is generated print the sheet and print the answers. Then change the worksheet number to 2 or 3, extra and watch a completely new worksheet get generated. Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.

This revision lesson I put together based on material I found most year 11 foundation students were struggling with. The revision mainly focuses on the students ability to apply the four rules of number to some literacy based question. The second revision lesson I have added is on number machines as I found that students were fine with using the number machine one way but poor on reverse. Hence practice makes perfect!

With factorising and removing brackets of cubics being new to the GCSE specifications last year I have introduced these two lesson to my class teaching. Starting with removal of brackets students are able to extend from the two brackets situation to the three brackets. The following lesson looks at the more complicated factorising a cubic. Initially starting with the first factor given style of question before looking at factorising with no hint given. Worksheets are given for both lessons which could be used in class or as a piece of homework.

This lesson and selection of worksheets helps with the teaching of frequency polygons.

This activities are aimed at key stage 3 students but could be used as revision for students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

This lesson teaches students how to add two fractions together. The lesson is structured for those who may struggle with adding fractions together. The lesson is accompanied with several worksheets for students to complete on adding fractions. Answers are included.

This bundle of work consists of three lessons with worksheets. Lesson one : Collection of like terms. This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to collect like terms when simplifying a series of terms. Lesson two : Simplifying expressions This lesson and two worksheets looks at multiplying terms together where algebra is involved. (At the same time revising the knowledge of - x - or - x +, etc) Lesson three : Substitution into formulae This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to substitute numerical values into simple algebraic expressions Two worksheets have been given per lesson so that if the class has an issue with the first worksheet, then a review of the work can take place with the follow up worksheet used to demonstrate improvement. These lessons are suitable as an introduction to Algebra or for the younger students who have little knowledge in Algebra.

These worksheets allow students to have multiple attempts at converting fractions into percentages or decimals or vice versa. The additional worksheets also allow students to answer questions on converting cm to m or mm, m to km or cm, etc…
