‘Cool Shapes’: Area of 2D shapes
Keywords: Geometry: Area, formulas, (shapes: Square, Rectangle, Triangle, Parallelogram, Trapezium and Circle), exam revision.
I’ve created this poster/hand-out so that students can have the formulas for the area of shapes on a single sheet. This should allow students to learn them more easily: students could pin the poster on their wall at home so that they can view the formulas every day.
Please, also, check out my other resource: (Formula Sheet) ‘Cool Shapes’: Volume & Surface Area of 3D shapes
Reviews will be MUCH appreciated.

In this presentation, I aim to demonstrate how to calculate nth terms of linear and quadratic sequences by giving a couple of examples. There are also questions for students to have ago at (answers are included). Also, I show a second method for obtaining the nth term of a quadratic sequence.
In addition, I give practical examples of how linear and quadratic sequences relate to business. I demonstrate the calculation for the nth term of the Triangular Sequence.

Key words: Goals setting, Planning ahead, Start of term, Organisational skills, and Circle. All subjects.
I've created ‘Wheel of Education’. This, I believe, makes the goals setting more visual for the students.
How it works:
There are eight sectors in the circle. Each sector can be for an academic subject or social subject or a future subject. OR individual topics in a particular academic subject. (No more than one or two words).
1) In the inner most ring, they rate their feeling out of 8 (8 being the highest & 1 the lowest) on that particular matter.
2) In the second outer ring, if it is an academic subject then the student can write the grade they are aiming for and the specific topics to improve upon in that subject. If, on the other hand, it is a social goal then the students can be more specific about exactly what they want to achieve (SMART).
3) In the outer most ring, the students can write what actions are needed in order to successfully achieve the goal. I recommend telling the students to think of immediate actions that can be done within a week or two, so that they can move that much closer to the goal and progress can be kept track of.

I have created this presentation about expanding more than two brackets so that students can begin to understand the breath and depth of Algebra.
The presentation includes many examples, questions, a challenge question and an introduction to Pascal’s triangle.

Keywords. Geometry: Volume & Surface Area, formulas, (shapes: Cube, Cuboid, Triangular Prisms, Trapezoid, Cylinder, Cone, Rectangular Pyramid, Sphere and Frustum), exam revision.
I’ve created this poster/hand-out so that students can have a summary of the formulas for volumes and surface area of 3D shapes. This should allow students to learn them more easily: students could pin the two page poster on their wall at home so that they can view the formulas every day.
Please NOTE: To calculate the slant heights for some of the 3D shapes requires the use of Pythagoras. I have not included this on the poster so do remind the students of this. Thank you.

In this resource, I go into detail about why Circle Theorems are actually true; not just taking them at face value.
The aim is to enhance students’ understanding of not only the Theorems, but to introduce them to the idea of rigorously proving statements in mathematics.

This is a challenging proof, so I have taken a step by step approach at proving, both, the volume and surface area of a frustum.
The proof requires a variety of topics in Geometry. High ability students will enjoy the challenge and should be able to make progress after some guidance.

I have created this board game to help students practice their addition, subtraction and multiplication.
All the rules of the game are included. The game works best with a facilitator.
If you have any questions or feedback please comment below.
Enjoy!

Displays how to achieve the area of a triangle by using trigonometry.
Students will apply their knowledge of trigonometry, as well as, use problem solving skills. In turn, making them appreciate how maths topics are linked together.

I’ve created this quick and fun activity to send a message out to students that hard work and knowledge are very important, but having a positive attitude, might just make that top grade a little easier to achieve.
For older students, this activity can be used at the start of term in order to get students into the learning zone.
For younger students, this activity involves applying their knowledge of addition, in a relatively simple way. Or can be used as a mini-introduction to algebra.
Reviews will be much appreciated.

‘Quick Quadratics’ examples: Expanding, Factorising & Solving. Algebra.
Keywords: Algebra, Quadratics, Expanding (Box method, Smile method), Factorising, Solving, exam revision and quick review.
I’ve created this resource to allow students to recap quadratics (Expanding, Factorising and Solving) briefly and quickly as part of their revision: this can, then, lead on to further questions and revision of more challenging questions.

This presentation develops students' understanding of Completing the Square and links it to sketching quadratic graphs and finding maximum and minimum points. Knowing how to Complete the Square is a prerequisite for this presentation.
I have included examples, questions with answers, application of the knowledge and a challenge for the ambitious students.

This resource can be used to consolidate and extend student's knowledge on expanding brackets. The questions range from simple (x+a)(x+b) to challenging (ax+b)(-cx+d).
Includes 40 questions. The answers are in a step by step approach. One answer per slide with animations.

Displays how to achieve the famous formula by using areas of triangles, squares and algebra.
The proof contains no words. I did this deliberately to convey ‘a picture can say a 1000 words’ (in this case, proving a very important formula).
Students will use different simple formulas in Geometry, as well as problem solving skills. In turn, making them appreciate how maths topics are linked together.
