Features of my lesson plans for KS3 and KS4 maths include sub-dividing topics into steps so that students develop one skill at a time, colour coded diagrams and explanations, worked solutions and putting the maths into real-life contexts. I am also focusing on different types of problem-solving questions and on questions where different topics are combined, say shape and algebra, probability and algebra, proportion and area. I welcome feedback and am open to suggestions for new lesson topics.

This resource is for advanced KS4 students. It includes a lesson presentation and worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter (expanding the square of an algebraic expression) and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The lesson is in two parts. Firstly, students learn how to take a quadratic expression and complete the square. In the second part, they learn how to apply the technique to solving quadratic equations.
