A couple of resources developed to encourage an understanding of trigonometry as an introduction to the topic.
Students draw accurate right-angle triangles with a 30 degree angle and measure the height, base and hypotenuse. They repeat this with other dimensions, and potentially different angles. They are then looking for a pattern between the sides.
The second resource encourages them to begin using the ratio of the sides to find missing sides.
Two resources to help with understanding of surface area of a prism.
1. Breaks down the shapes into their respective faces.
2. 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.

A resource designed to help students practise two way tables. Differentiated to increase in difficulty. Some questions, gratefully, taken from other sources.
Students need to follow the instructions using different combinations of numbers, they should find a pattern emerging. Can be then expanded to include 4 digit numbers, and to look for exceptions.
