Three activities designed to develop students' understanding of stem and leaf diagrams. 1 focuses on drawing accurately. 2 gets students to interpret diagrams. 3 is a Spot the Mistakes where students need to identify, discuss and correct the mistakes. 4 is an activity that can be used before an assessment to recap.

An activity designed to help students with misconceptions. Students need to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in the the questions. Print out individually or for pairs and put up on the board to discuss.

A collection of worksheets I cobbled together and formatted from different sources for teaching the volume of cones, pyramids, cylinders and spheres.

A couple of activities to promote learning how to solve equations through balancing scales and missing weights. Ideal for lower sets.

An adapted resource for a bottom set to support them with missing angles.

Three resources used with a bottom set to support their work with percentages.

A collection of differentiated worksheet to help students get to grips with solving linear equations. Encourages students to use a mental method of inverse operations and using function machines. Each activity is differentiated for different start points. Ideal for lower sets.

An activity I enjoy doing with all classes. Students need to identify and rectify what is incorrect about the two answers to these two GCSE questions. Print off copies for individuals or pairs and put on the board for a discussion.

Here is a range of short activities that would typically serve as an interesting lesson starter to get students thinking about maths in different ways! They are a mixture of puzzles and challenges with features of mathematic that students can explore. They serve as excellent games or short investigations for students at home, and can be easily adapted further. I am sorry the overall layout is not so nice. Enjoy!!

I wanted to bring my maths classroom closer to the real world, and specifically the problems and changes that we face. I wanted a resource that would raise awareness of important issues in society, invite discussion in a maths classroom, and spur action. So these resources place key percentages skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with percentage change, percentage increase, and percentages of amounts. ** It provides an opportunity to practice problem solving in new contexts, and highlights the power that maths has to quantify issues and help address them. The numbers and statistics are all very close to the real numbers, often rounded to make it easier to work with in a classroom. Feel free to add your own and adjust and help take maths into the world and its challenges!

A summary of GCSE Factorising questions. Students need to identify the mistakes and correct them. Can be done individually or in pairs, and then discussed as a class.

An activity to help students drawing lines of best fit. Ideal for lower sets.

An exercise I enjoy giving classes to reverse their role. They need to correct the answers and, in this case, the reasoning too. Good for a class discussion afterwards too.

A collection of activities using a box method to help students understand sharing into ratios. 1 and 2 look at simply sharing into ratios, with increasing difficulty. 3 looks at carrying out inverse operations when sharing into ratios using boxes. 4 and 5 take these skills put them into context. I have gratefully used some CIMT questions here. All are differentiated into three different tiers of difficulty.

An activity designed to help students with misconceptions. Students need to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in the two GCSE questions. Print out individually or for pairs and put up on the board to discuss.

A collection of resources across the attainment spectrum for volume of a prism. Not all questions created, but cropped from other sources and then formatted.

Activity for scaffolding area of a circle. Differentiated into three different difficulties.

A differentiated activity encouraging students to convert fractions into equivalent ones.

A collection of exercises I used alongside expositions to develop understanding of probability. 1 is a basic activity for forming probabilities. 2 encourages students to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in a GCSE question to check for understanding. 3 begins to use tables for probability. 4 is designed to recap key skills learnt.

Worksheet designed to support lower sets with increasing or decreasing by a fraction.
