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

A collection of resources designed to help build up knowledge of box plots steadily.

An activity for a bottom set to help them understand how frequency tables are created.

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

Two activities designed for lower sets to help them draw and read pie charts.

A whole notebook lesson. Includes starter, space for modelling, and practise questions for the class. Adjust the slides as fits your class.

A resource created using a mixture of questions for problem solving with circumference of circles.

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.

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.

An introductory resource for forming and solving equations, designed to help lower sets prepare for the skills of inverse operations.

Worksheet designed for lower sets struggling with fractions of amounts, adopting the approach of dividing into boxes.

Two activities to help with converting lengths and metric units. Ideal for 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.

An activity to encourage students to think about how expanding brackets works and to prepare them to start factorising. Differentiated into different difficulties.

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 ratio skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with ratios, interpreting ratios, and 1:n. ** 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!

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

A couple of resources I adapted for working with lower sets to introduce sequences. Good for basic numeracy practice too.

Here are some interesting challenges for students to explore in maths. They are split by topics, with different challenges to be explored in each of these areas. They should keep students intrigued and challenged! I have had these for a long time and believe they were created at Bow School where I inherited them - so my credit to them! Some have been collated from the excellent NRICH too.
