Following on from a recent assessment paper I realised my students needed experience when choosing what technique to use when factorising. I will give the students several minutes to read through the expressions and place them in order of difficulty. We will then proceed to factorise and observe whether we were correct in our sorting activity.

To introduce the concept of bearings.

Some thought provoking questions designed to review terminology and understanding of prior lessons on properties of 2D shapes. This task works well with mini whiteboards.

A venn diagram task for equations of straight lines.

Open ended tasks designed to allow for self differentiation. A task that works well on mini whiteboards.

A lesson designed to get students thinking about how we might manipulate equations to solve in a less conventional sense.

A lesson (or two) on proving whether vectors are parallel or not.

Includes a review of finding angles in triangles, quadrilaterals, on a straight line, at a point. Slides on note taking for revision purposes. Work on spotting missing angles in parallel lines.

A lesson covering all the content needed for Edexcel Core 1 Maths.

A task designed to help students develop their understanding of choosing which formula to use.

A lesson designed to develop students' understanding of solving functions graphically. The lesson uses functions plotted via desmos, I would use this lesson with reference to the software to illustrate the functions in real time.

A worksheet to review content from Core 1. Answers on the separate file.

I made this resource with the intention of increasing effectiveness of the homework tasks used for independent study.

Tasks designed to review and extend knowledge based upon coordinate geometry. Tasks are open and interesting. This particularly works well with mixed ability classes.

Students pick any five functions to plot in their books. The questions are split up into three clear sections to allow students to self differentiate the task.

A grid for students to record the topics they need to work on for assessments.

A variant of an old resources. Twenty questions based around topics that I wish my year 11 students to improve upon over the next ten weeks.

Questions collated for the purpose of reviewing: multiplying and dividing fractions, simplifying fractions, fractions of an amount, adding and subtracting fractions, improper to mixed numbers, mixed numbers to improper fractions, multiplying mixed numbers, adding and subtracting mixed numbers, equivalent fractions, fractions to decimals, fractions to percentages and ordering fractions, decimals and percentages.

An introduction to compound measures.

A differentiated starter activity where students pick 5 functions to plot on a set of axes.
