A few resources designed to help students new to the concept of forming an equation.

A couple of worksheets I put together to try to train students in the style of questions on ratio common in the new GCSE.

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

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.

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.

Resources designed to help students discover the effect of enlargements on area and volume.

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

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

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 fraction skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with fraction change and fractions 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 worksheet cobbled together to help students practise reading and interpreting time series graphs.

A complete lesson I taught on the quadratic formula.

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.
