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.

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

A resource of differentiated functional questions on the area of a trapezium. Questions taken from other sources gratefully and then formatted.

A worksheet cobbled together to help students practise using correct operations with BIDMAS.

A collection of resources for a bottom set for constructing triangles and bisecting angles and lines. Adjusted to suit lower sets.

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.

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 skills of working with averages in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with mean, mode, median, and interpretations of these. ** 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!

There are three booklets of key maths content. These were quickly put together by condensing other resources I have accumulated over the years - so they are not perfect! I hope to add answers and other options very soon.

Slides for factorising expressions, for factorising quadratics and for solving quadratics. Modeling questions and then practice questions all differentiated. Adjust as fits your lesson. Maybe a game at the end for so much work!

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.

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

A worksheet for basic division practice using a box method.

Slides for modeling and for practice with differentiated questions.

A couple of worksheets to help students develop their skills for solving simultaneous equations algebraically.

Lesson slides with modeling and practice differentiated questions. Edit and adjust as suits your lesson.

A basic activity asking students to work with Mode, Range and Median first, before moving onto the Mean for those mastering the topics.

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 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.

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