All my resources have been created to use with classes I teach. Often I've created resources because, for a particular topic, I haven't been happy with the number/standard of the examples in a textbook. Sometimes I've created worksheets for certain topics (e.g. graph transformations) because I feel my classes will make greater progress on a printed worksheet than trying to work from a textbook. I always aim to produce high-quality resources that improve the students' learning and understanding.

Simplex algorithm worksheet and solver (Decision maths)
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Simplex algorithm worksheet and solver (Decision maths)

(0)
The first resource guides your students through the whole process of using the Simplex algorithm to solve a linear programming problem. The first page explains how the initial tableau is formed, how the objective function must be written and how the inequalities that represent constraints must be written as equations with the introduction of slack variables. The first exercise (11 questions) gives them the opportunity to practise writing the initial tableau correctly for different problems. Grids are provided so students focus their time and energy on only the values in the tableau. The next section describes how an iteration of the algorithm is performed and links the iterations to the graphical solution, showing how each iteration moves to a different vertex of the feasible region. There is then another exercise with 10 questions for students to practise performing iterations and finding the optimal solution. Again, grids are provided so students focus their time and energy on only the steps of the algorithm and the values in the tableau. Fully worked solutions are provided to all the questions in the exercises. The second resource is a spreadsheet that automatically solves any simplex tableau in 2/3 variables with 2/3 constraints - a useful resource for doing/checking solutions to other questions from a textbook or examination paper.
Finding gradients using dx/dy
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Finding gradients using dx/dy

(0)
This resource is designed to introduce the method of finding dx/dy and using this to work out the gradient of a curve. There are 3 examples to work through as a class - these will show that to differentiate a curve in some cases it is necessary to have the equation of the curve in the form x=f(y). There is then a short note to summarise the method and then 3 pages of examination-style questions for students to practise. Answers are included.
Changing the subject worksheet
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Changing the subject worksheet

(5)
I designed this worksheet to try to teach a weak GCSE group how to change the subject of a formula. The introduction explains what is meant by the "subject", and has a few examples to make sure this is clear in the students' minds. In exercise A there are 17 multiple-choice questions where students simply circle what they think is the correct rearrangement of the formula. The idea is that, as they are multiple choice, all students will be prepared to have a go at these questions and as you go through the answers there will be discussion points about the step(s) required and different ways you might set out your working or final answer. In exercise B there are 15 questions where the students must change the subject of the formula themselves. Solutions to the worksheet are provided. Note that the sheet contains questions where the new subject appears once only.
Proportion (new A level)

The first page focuses on writing down the correct equation in different cases of direct and indirect proportion. The second page focuses on the graph(s) that can represent different types of proportion. The final page has a number of problems to solve with variables that are directly or inversely proportional. Fully worked solutions to all questions are provided.

Converting mixed numbers and improper fractions
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Converting mixed numbers and improper fractions

(1)
This worksheet is designed so that students will hopefully gain an understanding of the process of converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, without having to write down a series of steps or instructions to follow. For both conversions the first set of questions are scaffolded, then for later questions the scaffolding is removed so they are doing the whole conversion themselves. There are 20 conversions in both directions, worked solutions are provided.
Finding roots and real factors of z^n+k=0
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Finding roots and real factors of z^n+k=0

(0)
The first resource guides your class through the process of using the real and complex roots of z^n+k=0 to write down its real factors. The introduction includes the important result about the sum of conjugates and then uses equations of the form z^n=1 or z^n=-1 to establish that there is always an even number of complex roots, which can be put into conjugate pairs. It is then shown how each conjugate pair of roots produces a real quadratic factor, while each real root produces a real linear factor. To practise all this there is an exercise with 7 questions for students to complete. Solutions to all the examples and the exercise are included. The second resource contains an exercise with further examination-style questions on this topic. This could be used as additional practice in class or as a homework/test. Answers are provided.

Calculations with fractions (all 4 operations)

(0)
These are two 2-sided worksheets that cover all calculations with fractions. The adding/subtracting worksheet goes step-by-step through the process of making the denominators equal prior to the calculation. The first exercise (12 questions) involves adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers where the denominators match, the second exercise (34 questions) involves adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers where the denominators do not match. The multiplying/dividing worksheet begins with a reminder of the method, together with a few examples to work through as a group. There are then two exercises, each with 20 questions, first to practise multiplying and then to practise dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Fully worked solutions to all questions are provided.

MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

3 tests on proof, quadratics and using graphs (new A level)

(0)
I'm teaching 3 different year 12 classes this year so I created 3 slightly different tests for the work I've covered with each. The first test focuses on quadratics (1 question on disproof by counterexample), the second and third both focus on quadratics and using graphs (also with 1 question on disproof by counterexample). All tests come with fully-worked solutions and they can be amended to your requirements.

All the resources are suitable to be projected or printed for students to work on, saving a lot of time for drawing graphs and allowing them to annotate or work on diagrams. All resources come with solutions included. Here is a brief description of each resource: 1. Basic straight lines - lines of the form x=a, y=a and y=x or y=-x 2. Drawing straight lines - 10 questions using the equation of a line y=mx+c to complete a table of values and draw the graph. 3. Cover-up method - 12 questions to practise drawing lines of the form ax+by=c 4. Using the equation - test if a point lies on a line, determine y-coord given x-coord and vice versa (70 questions) 5. Finding the gradient - 18 questions to practise finding gradients, including where the scales on the axes are not the same 6.

de Moivre's theorem and roots of polynomials - teaching notes and examples

de Moivre's theorem and roots of polynomials - teaching notes and examples

(1)
This worksheet can be used to introduce de Moivre's theorem to your class and show how it can be used to find multiple angle formulae (e.g. sin 4theta = ...) and how these formulae help us to relate trigonometric equations to polynomial equations. The introduction shows how we can arrive at 2 different results for (c + is)^n by using de Moivre's theorem and a binomial expansion. There are then 3 examples of using this technique to derive multiple angle formulae. The second section focuses on relating trigonometric equations to polynomial equations and how this allows us to find exact values of trigonometric functions or to express the roots of a polynomial in trigonometric form. There are 3 examples to illustrate this, the first one is deliberately straightforward to help students see the connection between the trigonometric work and the polynomial equation. The solutions version of the worksheet has fully-worked solutions to all the examples and the notes in the introduction section are also completed. Once you have worked through this worksheet with your students they should be able to attempt an exercise of questions on their own.
