In this resource, I aim to explain how to achieve the area of a trapezium by using triangles. This allows students to see the connection between formulas in Geometry. In turn, making them appreciate how maths topics are linked together. Please feel free to review my resource. Hope this helps, A_Maths.

In this resource, I aim to let student know how we arrive to the formula for finding the area of a triangle. Knowing where it comes from is important as students can appreciate how maths topics are linked together. Also, if they happen to not remember the formula for a triangle, but know how to achieve this area: you just have to half the area of a rectangle, then it’s not only a backup in the exam, but benefits their logical skills. Please feel free to review my resource. Hope this helps, A_Maths.

In this resource, my aim is to explain ‘why do angles in triangles and in interior angles add up to 180 degrees?’ as clearly as possible. The poster is intended for students so that they can begin asking questions outside the ‘box’, and to answer/understand them mathematically. Reviews will be much appreciated. Hope this helps, A_Maths. Keywords: Angles, Triangles, proving.

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. Hope this helps, A_Maths.

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. Please check out my other resource on area of shapes called: (Formula sheet) ‘Cool Shapes’: Area of 2D shapes Reviews will be MUCH appreciated. Hope this helps, A_Maths.

Keywords: Numbers, Percentages, 100, Simplifying, ‘OF= multiply’, exam revision and quick review. I’ve created this resource to allow students to summarise percentages (starting point) briefly and quickly. This can lead on to further questions and of more challenging questions. If you liked this resource, then check out my upload on fractions and quadratics: 'Fab Fractions' examples- Simplifying, Mixed to Top-Heavy, Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying & Division. Numbers. & ‘Quick Quadratics’ examples: Expanding, Factorising & Solving. Algebra. Hope this helps, A_Maths. PS. Feedback, suggestions and reviews will be appreciated.

Keywords: Numbers, Fractions, Simplifying, Mixed to Top-Heavy, Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Division, exam revision and quick review. I’ve created this resource to allow students to recap fractions briefly and quickly as part of their revision: this can, then, lead on to further questions and revision of more challenging questions. If you liked this resource, then check out my upload on quadratics: ‘Quick Quadratics’ examples: Expanding, Factorising & Solving. Algebra. Hope this helps, A_Maths. PS.

‘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. CHECKOUT my other resource on Simultaneous equations. Hope this helps, A_Maths. PS. Feedback, suggestions and reviews will be appreciated.

In short: Simultaneous equations. Concept + an example. Keywords: Algebra, Simultaneous equations, elimination, substitution, variables and solving. I’ve created this resource to inform students about the process of solving Simultaneous equations and provide them with an example. It’s ideal for a quick & brief overview on Simultaneous equation. Hope this helps, A_Maths. PS. Feedback will be appreciated.

In short: Introduction to Inequalities EXAMPLES overview- on one page Keywords: Inequalities, numbers, Greater than (or equal to), Less than (or equal to), number line, Algebra. I’ve created this resource to give a brief overview of the introduction to inequalities. This includes inequalities on a number line and solving basic inequalities. Ideal for a summary, at the end of the very first lesson, on inequalities. It is not a complete review of inequalities, far from it. Hope this is useful as a first summary, A_Maths.

‘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. Hope this helps, A_Maths.

Keywords: STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Results), Interview tips, preparation, table, competency based questions, Job hunting, application. I’ve created this resource to help students with competency based interviews. This should allow students to prepare more effectively for such interviews. The STAR method gives structure to the answer and the competencies table gives the opportunity to bring together examples from different aspects of life. Two types of documents available: Colour and Limited colour. Hope this helps. Please review or rate this resource.

I hope the resource that I have created is useful. (Please feel free to rate/comment.) Ideal for Year 12 students. 1) University research- Students fill in the table with the relevant information. Use the traffic light system to rate how your feel and obtain a final numerical total for that university. Need access to prospectuses or internet. 2) Personal Statement- Brainstorm information to put into the first draft of the personal statement. Best, A_Maths

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. Feel free to make any further comments/suggestions. Please rate this resource. Hope this helps.
