The lesson revises finding missing probabilities and takes students into the concept of exhaustive and non-exhaustive events.

This resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The starter is revision of completing two-way tables. Students then learn to find probabilities from two-way tables. They then learn how to construct two-way tables from text and then to find probabilities.

This resource is for KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation consists of a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The starter involves finding the area of a semi-circle and a quarter-circle. Students then find the area of more complex shapes by separating composite shapes into shapes with known formulae for their area or by subtracting the area of one shape from another.

This resource is for KS3 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The starter revises finding the mean from a set of observations. Students then learn how to find the missing observation using the mean that they are given. There are a couple of extension questions, including one for which students need to use all three averages to find a set of observations.

This resource is for KS4 students who are working towards the Foundation paper. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. Worked solutions to the worksheet are included. Students learn to compare prices by calculating the full price when offers involve instalments, discounts and prices are quoted before VAT is applied.

This lesson is for KS4 students. Finding percentages and fractions of amounts are revised and then used to find the total costs of packages after fractional and percentage discounts have been subtracted. Worked solutions to the worksheet are included.

This resource is for core and advanced ability KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The lesson starts by considering scale drawings to be similar shapes whose lengths are measured in different units. The lesson then proceeds on how to construct a scale drawing with angles given as bearings, before considering how to measure and interpret the lengths and angles measured off the diagram. The worksheet starts with two simpler questions, then two questions with accompanying diagrams before finishing with several questions where the student is expected to interpret the text in order to draw the scale diagram. Teachers may wish to limit core ability students to the first four questions, leaving the others as extension. Advanced students will be challenged by the expectation that they translate text into a diagrams.

This lesson is for KS3 students. Before teaching students how to find the averages from frequency tables, I get them to deconstruct some tables, that is listing the raw data and using that raw data to find the averages and range. Worked solutions to the worksheet is included.

These two lessons are for capable KS3 students. Start with ‘1. Algebraic Proof Introduction’ and the accompanying handouts and then continue with ‘2. Algebraic Proof Multiples’ and its worksheet. Students are introduced to the idea of letting any number be n and to finding expressions for consecutive numbers, odd and even numbers. Students then find expressions for sums and products and finally learn how to prove that such an expression is a multiple of a specified number.

This resource follows on from ‘KS3 Algebraic Proof’. The resource consists of two lesson presentations and accompanying worksheets or handouts. The idea of algebraic proof is extended to include any two numbers and not just consecutive numbers. This is in the lesson ‘3. Any Two Numbers’ with the accompanying worksheet. Work done in this lesson is then used in ‘4. Sometimes Always Never’ with its accompanying activity. The lesson presentations contain worked solutions for all activities and questions.

The resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes examples and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The functional problems involving volume include stacking smaller boxes in a larger box, finding into which category packages fall and evaluating cost.

The resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. Students learn how to solve simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other that of a circle USING GRAPHS. (There is another version using algebra). The worksheet is structured. Students are first given both line and circle, then one or the other and finally neither.

The lesson is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. Students learn how to solve simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other quadrilateral USING GRAPHS. (There is another version using algebra). The first question on the structured worksheet gives students both the straight line and a quadratic graph. Later questions expect students to draw the straight line graph.

This resource is for high ability KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and three fully worked examples. Students learn how to solve simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other quadratic USING ALGEBRA. (There is another version using graphs).

A battleship type of activity involving paintballing that asks KS3 pupils to test their skill at using positive and negative coordinates. Preferable perhaps to a teacher not wishing to endorse warfare.

A battleship type of activity involving paintballing that asks KS3 pupils to test their skill at using positive coordinates. (There is another free resource for negative and positive coordinates). Preferable perhaps to a teacher not wishing to endorse warfare.

This resource is for strong KS3 and any KS4 student working towards the Foundation paper. (There is a harder version 'Comparing Measurements). The lesson consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation has examples and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The lesson teaches students to compare measurements when the measurements are given in different units. Students learn how to compare measurements in different metric units, when one is in metric units and the other in imperial units, when time is given in different units and when comparing compound units

The resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a structured worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The lesson starts with a revision of converting currencies, with an emphasis on whether to multiply or divide by the exchange rate. The lesson then continues to cover problems where one or two prices have to be converted using exchange rates so that all prices can be compared in the same currency.
