GCSE Maths revision resource follows a building house structure. To be able to access the harder problem solving questions students must be secure in the foundations. Foundations It starts with simple areas of shapes, as well as some circumference and area of a circle. Walls Basic Surface Area Examples with step by step solutions Followed by three similar questions for the students to try. It is useful to (Walk and talk/ Model the examples) House Roof Contains one problem solving model type which then leads into a worksheet on problem solving with surface area. This sheet can be used as calculator or none calculator practise. Any issues please email me missbsresources@gmail.com

This GCSE Higher Maths Revision Resource I have used for several years now on the morning of the GCSE Maths exams or sometimes the twilights on the nights before. I find it helps get students into the maths zone and corrects several common exam easy pitfalls. Breakfast Bingo can be done as a bingo quiz activity or as a worksheet. INCLUDES Slides with prompts and answers Questions as a worksheet 60 Bingo answer cards and a blank card template. Attached are the slides in both most up to date and compatible PowerPoint form. The slides include a grid matrix so you can randomly select questions or you can go through the questions in order. Where appropriate the animations have been used on the slides to provide students with a prompt ALL ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED I have put all the questions onto two pages which could be printed as a worksheet for those teachers wanting to use the resource but not as a bingo activity.

All answers are provided I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of how to estimate. BONUS Activity - Wheel of fortune estimation quiz activity. Spin the wheel, click the section the arrow lands on, get the team to answer the question, check the answer, click the home button to go back to the wheel. (When on presentation mode you can type in the teams current score on the main slide). It begins with 10 quick questions. These focus on a students knowledge of rounding, the last 5 questions focus on rounding to 1 significant figure. The slides automatically progress to the next when when you press the start button. (The next question appears every 8 seconds) Estimation including single steps - 2 examples - 3 Mini Whiteboard Questions - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section. Estimation multiple steps - 2 examples - 2 Mini Whiteboard Questions - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 4 separate sections: skills 1, 2 & 3 and a stretch 1. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use, however could be printed as a worksheet. The PDF's of these slides have been attached to make printing easier and cheaper. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with several exam style questions including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Any of the the slides could be printed as worksheets if you feel that would be easier for your class.
