This is a collection of the starters I have used over the last couple of years split into year groups. They are single slides on Powerpoint, some with answers. At the top of each slide is the name of the set it was used with, the number showing the level of ability where 1 is highest and 5 is lowest. Apologies for any duplication or typos.

A resource I have used with a higher GCSE set to plot linear and quadratic graphs in order to solve simultaneous equations.

A powerpoint and worksheet to revise seasonal products and averages, then learn how to calculate 4-point moving averages, use them to plot a trend line and predict future values.

A worksheet I have used with a bottom set in year 8 to consolidate shading diagrams to represent fractions, simplifying and comparing fractions.

A worksheet designed to let pupils use correct markings and deduce properties of different quadrilaterals by measuring sides and angles and drawing on the diagonals or lines of symmetry.

This is a worksheet that worked really well with a year 8 low prior attaining set. We started with lots of work on whiteboards solving one and two step equations, including using brackets and fractions. We then started replacing some of the numbers with letters. The class needed quite a bit of practice with notation, manipulating expressions and solving equations before we could attempt this.

A powerpoint to introduce position-to-term rules for sequences using mapping diagrams and function machines.

This is a spreadsheet that allows students to investigate different values for m and c in order to match different sets of straight line graphs. I have used it with various different abilities and year groups.

A worksheet I have used with a middle ability year 8 set to get them constructing accurate nets of 3D shapes, working out missing sides and angles where necessary.

These are the starter and worksheet I used to introduce the tangent ratio to a year 11 bottom set. Now with corrected worksheet!

This is resource I wrote for year 7 as part of their personal finance education. It is an activity designed to fit into tutor time to start them thinking about how much information you can give away without realising on social media and how this affects your online safety.

This is a lesson designed to help D1 students physically design and test maze solving algorithms and have a bit of fun at the same time. <br /> I have done the activity several years running and tend to use it when students are in the middle of, or have just finished, mock exams and are feeling a bit shredded. I have also used it when we were visited by some particularly able year 8 students so that all students were able to access the ideas. In this instance the year 8 students started off as the mice and then became the programmers as they gained confidence.<br /> I have written up this particular lesson as this class have been the best so far at entering into the spirit of the activity.
