These resources break down the objectives that need to be covered by the new mathematics GCSE in to their new band systems (1-9) under each category(shape, algebra, data and number). They can be used to record progress of pupils, as a display, to support with assessment and also with intervention. <br /> <br /> Please comment. Hope they are of use!

This booklet has been created for use with KS3 pupils in my school to ensure that pupils are able to do the basic numeracy skills and to provide consistency of my schools preferred methods. This booklet has QR codes on each page which can be scanned by pupils that link to appropriate YouTube videos if they get stuck. I am implementing this booklet for use in form time but could be used as a starting point for the year or starters for each lesson. I am creating a KS4 version, however, this could be used at any key stage.

Starter on volume with extension to S.A. Then recap of pythag before using to go through example. Three questions on square based, 3 on rectangular based pyramids (all with answers). AfL differentiated mini self assessment activity and then plenary activity allowing assessment of pupil understanding and feedback.<br /> <br /> Hope it's useful and please feedback!<br /> <br />

A lesson on composite solids to be taught after pupils have learnt volume and surface area of cones an spheres and the volume of a pyramid. It recaps key skills and then allows them to apply knowledge to composite shapes before attempting past exam questions. <br /> <br /> Hope it's useful!<br /> <br />

A SMART Notebook file with a starter, examples, mini-whiteboard activity (AfL), differentiated questions (SA/AfL), answers with PA outcomes and targets, differentiated plenary based on outcome of questions and exit ticket sentence slide. Hope it's useful and please leave a comment!

A whole school calculation policy that indicates the schools preferred methods and shows alternate methods as a guide. This resource is easily editable for your own schools' preferred methods. It can be used for teachers or displayed in classrooms as a reference for pupils. Suitable for Primary and Secondary schools.

This file provides a usable mapping system whereby you can track what banding a pupil should leave school with in Yr 11 based on their NC level on entry. I have also provided the equivalent banding and fine levels for each year making is easier for teachers to track where their pupils are at throughout secondary school. As the NC levels are being phased out this could then be used in conjection with baseline assessments.

Differentiated lesson on expanding double brackets. Starter is expanding linear, examples, tarsia activity, SA section with questions and answers. Peer assess section with targets for improvement and differentiated plenary. Problem solving extension included. Tarsia downloaded from MrBartonMaths. <br /> <br /> Lovely lesson, hope you enjoy and please feedback!

Worksheet that can be used for revising 3D solids (or as a plenary or starter before compound solids) for pupils to fill in the blank spaces of key 3D shapes. Areas to fill in include the name, net, 3D drawing, formulae for surface area and volume.

This is a SMART file based around ratio using practical demonstrations with blackcurrant squash. Can be done in one or more lessons.<br /> <br /> Starter is basic simplifying fractions with extension question. <br /> <br /> I then hand out a topic objective sheet which they fill in before we start. <br /> <br /> Pupils then discuss where ratio is seen in real life and then we move on to demonstrating concentrates of blackcurrant to water. I always start with 1:0 and 0:1. As we work through I demonstrate on the board what the numbers mean until we find the best ratio (normally 1:4). Pupils then do an exercise on writing a ratio. Peer assess and then re-fill in first objective and use RAG cards to show where they are.<br /> <br /> Pupils then look at equivalent ratios and cancelling using HCF and do a SA exercise before PA. Then pupils can progress on to dividing an amount. All contained in this SMART file. Lovely engaging lesson that is fun to teach - had it observed in 2 schools and received outstanding on both. <br /> <br /> Please comment if you download! :)<br />

A differentiated lesson on area, arc length and perimeters of sectors with a section for pupils to peer or self assess. Suitable for classes that have a good understanding of area and circumference and in need of a stretch to find nice fractions of each. <br /> <br /> Please review! Hope it is useful!!

A full SMART lesson on how to convert from a fraction to percent with starter, main and plenary for low ability. I have taught this to low ability using equivalent fractions instead of dividing numerator by denominator as it is much more accessible. Hope it is useful - feel free to leave comments!

A smartboard lesson on factors, multiples and primes.

This is a lesson I created to help introduce algebra to year 7 but it has also been useful for revising collecting like terms and forming basic expressions with older year groups. This lesson should be used with R/A/G cards and mini-whiteboards.

A couple of lessons on Simultaneous Equations. The first lesson links to a sheet where they discover the area of shapes in terms of x and y and then find the difference. Can't find the sheet but the file contains the questions anyway.

An investigation into the number of squares on a chessboard. Good problem solving task to create a display from.

SMART file containing previous exam questions on C Grade percentages questions.

Used with a high ability year 8 but could also be used in other years. Tarsia used was a MrBartonMaths one that had pupils working with multiplying by different 10, 100, 1000s etc.

Used in high ability year 9 class but could be used in other years. Differentiated worksheets (NC = Not confident/C = Confident) adapted from another found on TES. Pupils discover the relationship between a, b and c - nice lesson to teach!

Video on constructing angle bisectors. Others to follow.

Starter is a previous recap on other topics. Differentiated tasks and plenary. Pair/group work for the tarsia. Tarsia found elsewhere.
