A simple resource to give your class practice of finding the area of a shape by counting squares. It has brief notes and examples at the start, then an exercise with 18 questions for students to attempt (answers included). The shapes are squares, rectangles, triangles and compound shapes using these 3 shapes (so no circles or parts of circles).

This 13-page resource introduces basic differentiation and integration of exponential and trigonometric functions (in the A2 part of the new A level). The calculus work does NOT require chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, integration by parts… etc In every section it contains notes then examples to work through with your class, followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included). The sections are: 1.Differentiation of e^x and ln(x) 2.Differentiation of trigonometric functions (sin, cos and tan only) 3.Integration of e^x, 1/x, and trigonometric functions (sin and cos only) This projectable and printable resource will save you having to write out any notes/examples or draw any graphs when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given diagrams and spaces provided for solutions. Note: some examples with trigonometric functions require knowledge of radians, double and compound angle identities, and small angle approximations.

Two versions (with/without frequency tables) of a treasure hunt activity for a class to attempt individually or in groups. There are 24 questions, numbered from 1 to 24. Each group chooses a number from 1 to 24 at random (or you can assign them a start number), and this is the number of the first question they should attempt - this should be written in the top-left circle on their answer grid. Their answer to their first question should be a whole number from 1 to 24 - this should be written in the next circle on their grid and this is the number of the next question they should attempt. e.g. if a group starts on Q6 and they think the answer to Q6 is 13 then after Q6 they should attempt Q13 (and they should have 6 -> 13 on their answer grid). If they answer the questions correctly they end up with the same chain of answers as on the solution, if they make a mistake they will repeat an earlier question and at that point you can decide how much help to give them sorting out their error(s). This activity works best if you can stick the 24 questions around a large classroom or sports hall so the groups have to run around to find their next question. All the classes I've done these activities with have loved them.

These worksheets make teaching/revising these diagrams easier as you can project the axes/diagrams onto a board and your class can work directly on or from the provided axes/diagram. The worksheet on cumulative frequency is a 6 page document where students get to practise drawing cumulative frequency diagrams and deducing information from them, such as median, interquartile range etc. The second worksheet introduces how box and whisker plots are drawn and how to interpret them or use them to compare two sets of data. The third worksheet provides more practice of box and whisker diagrams but then also includes some questions involving cumulative frequency, as these diagrams often appear together in examination questions. Answers to all the worksheets are included.

This 12-page worksheet starts by introducing a method for drawing pie charts and has an example to work through as a class, followed by 6 examples for students to complete.

This worksheet makes it easy to introduce and teach the trapezium rule to your classes. The first page has diagrams to illustrate the method and the derivation of the formula is broken down into steps for you to work through with your class. Projecting all this is so much easier than drawing it out by hand. The trapezium rule formula is then stated at the top of page 2, followed by 3 pages of examples of examination-style questions that test the use of the formula and your students’ understanding (is the answer from the trapezium rule an underestimate or overestimate, can they use their answer to deduce an estimate for a related integral, etc). Answers to all the examples are provided.

This set of resources includes everything you need to teach the graph transformations topic in the new A level. The printable resources will save you and your classes a lot of time which means there is more lesson time for them to practise and for you help develop their understanding. As the topic requires knowledge of the properties of some graphs (e.g. asymptotes) the first resource can be used to see which graphs they can already sketch and to discuss the asymptotes of particular graphs. The next resources are Geogebra files which can be used with the free Geogebra software. Each file can be used to discuss a particular type of graph transformation - there are sliders on each file that be changed or animated to see the initial graph transformed. This activity should help your class to visualise each type of transformation and start to get a feel for how the equation changes. The notes and examples start with revising each type of graph transformation - giving some different ways the transformations can be described and what the transformation looks like using y=f(x) and with a particular curve. Once completed this is a useful revision resource and helps them complete the exercise of questions on the reverse which includes questions asking for the new equation of a transformed graph, or for a description of the transformation applied. The final resource can be used to give your class practice of sketching transformations of y=f(x). The answers to all questions are included, including the sketches.

My year 7 class struggled to learn the rules for doing calculations that involved negative numbers so I created these resources to try to help them understand the rules and to give them lots of practice. The first resource focuses on addition and subtraction, with explanations of how the calculations can be understood with reference to a number line, and then exercises with lots of practice (over 150 questions). The second resource focuses on multiplication and division, with a page dedicated to them just practising determining whether the answer of a calculation should be positive or negative, and then an exercise with lots of practice calculations (over 80 questions). The third resource contains mixed questions with all 4 operations (over 60 questions). Answers to all the questions are included. The final resource is a spreadsheet where pupils can practise calculations and get instant feedback on their accuracy. Note that the spreadsheet contains macros so when opening the file users may need to click on “Enable editing” or “Enable macros” for it to function correctly.

This is a simple worksheet I created for my year 7 class to practise identifying different types of triangles and for them to work things out using their properties. The first page is to work through with your class to complete the notes on each type of triangle and its properties. This includes how sides of equal length may be indicated on a diagram. There is then a 2-page exercise for your class to attempt themselves. The questions include: State the type of triangle from its diagram and given information State the size of and unknown angle in a triangle (does NOT assume knowledge of angle sum being 180) State the type of triangle from some information about some of its sides/angles (no diagram) Considering what type(s) of triangle can contain, for example, an obtuse angle Answers to the exercise are included.
