A few exercises for teaching exchange rates and working in proportion.

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

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

A basic activity to encourage students to work with proportion and to learn the unitary method.

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

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 support students struggling with inequalities and number lines, keeping it simple.

An activity designed to get students to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in an example question. Print off individually or for pairs and discuss at the board.

A collection of resources to help with teaching angles in polygons. 1 is an investigation to help students identify the rules at work 2 and 3 are two different length activities to practise the skills students have learnt. 4 is a Spot the Mistakes activity to encourage students to identify, discuss and correct misconceptions.

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

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

A couple of differentiated activities encouraging students to get to grips with how inequality signs work.

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 in the answers. Print off copies for individuals or pairs and put on the board for a discussion.

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 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.

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

Three activities for students struggling with understanding the meaning of algebraic notation. The second one involves students matching answers and questions.
