Fully differentiated lesson aimed at foundation students who are tackling the now regular examination problems where items are bought under "buy one get free" type deals. The animated powerpoint takes students through how to simply buy, for example, 6 tins of catfood when there is a deal of buy one get one half price. There is a more challenging "how many could you buy with £10?" type question. The resource which mirrors the presentation can be written on and is fully differentiated from 1 star to 3 star depending on the confidence of the student

This is really two lessons in one. I use it over two successive lessons. The first lesson covers basic angle sum of a triangle and the second the special case of the isosceles triangle. The starter gets students to estimate 10 angles and then the powerpoint takes students through how to calculate the missing angle in a diagram. The resource contains two booklets that can be printed off in booklet form for the students to write on....thus no time wasted drawing diagrams. The numbers are normally multiples of 5 and so this can be done mentally

5 minute warm up with three different tiers of questions. Students select the tier of questions and have 5 minutes to answer as many as they can. Answers are on the next slide. Great for lesson starters with any students working at basic level (GCSE grades 1/2/3)

This lesson will take students through how to factorise and sketch the graph of a cubic equation. The trial of the first root, the application of the factor theorem and then the divisional process is shown in detail. Graphs are drawn to illustrate the geometry of the work. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated

This is two lessons in one to allow students to practise the factor theorem. The new specification does not specifically refer to the remainder theorem but the classic problems are still worth looking at to get students to practice the skills involved. The powerpoint (which has a starter) will take students through the types of problem involving finding unknown coefficients. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. The other lesson simply reinforces this work

This entire lesson will talk through the algorithm of division. Typically a cubic is divided by a linear term. The powerpoint (which contains a starter) will show how each term is generated and its place in the division process. Students will also see how the answer (quotient and remainder) fit together and can be used to check. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated

This complete lesson will guide your students through the often perceived difficulty of using the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx +c to deduce the gradient and the intercept. There is no plotting of the lines but more an algebraic manipulation. The lesson incorporates when lines can be parallel and perpendicular and students are encouraged to think about setting one variable to zero to find where the line crosses the other axis. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. This lesson can be used for gifted KS3 or 4 students

An entire lesson taking students through powers of numbers and letters and the simple application of the three main power laws with positive integral powers. The starter is a 10 question true or false activity to warm students up with basic facts that they should know. The powerpoint talks students through the concept of a power of a number and then of a variable. There is a justificiation of the addition law of powers and then there is use of the division law and the power of a power. The resource that accomanies the lesson is differentiated from 1 to 3 stars and can be written on by your students. There are notes at the top of each page so that students can review what they have learned. Stuck in the students' books this becomes a learning tool.

Try this starter with your classes. There are 10 questions, all multi-choice and the answers are on there too. A great way to start a lesson with any student of any age that needs to continually review the basics of the subject (number, algebra, shape and data questions)

5 powerpoints, each of 10 questions which cover all of the basics any student should know in maths: place value, simple percentages, rounding, BIDMAS, area and perimeter by counting, mode and many more. Multi-choice so everybody can have a go and the answers are shown as well. Each one, with class discussions on each question, can take from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. I start all of my Foundation GCSE and younger classes with these.

Five 10-minute powerpoints to review what your students can recall from the very basics of the subject. Multi-choice so that every student can take part and answers are displayed at the end. Topics covered include basic number work, rounding, fraction/decimal/percentage, area, units, mode, shape names and many more

This is an interim assessment which can be given to any class embarking on the new a level spec from 2017. It covers the topics of basic algebra, surds, index theory and quadratic equations. The assessment itself will last an hour and there is a follow up lesson where students can tackle similar questions. The powerpoint acts as a marck scheme and can be used to assess the piece of work. It can also be played during the feedback lesson to model correct answers for students. Printing it will give students a chance to have a model solution pack to their assessment.

This is a write-on resource which can be used in multiple ways: as a classwork task, homework task, weekly assessment or revision aid in the run up to assessments. There are 18 quick, "must know" questions for low ability foundation GCSE students of any age. There is a section at the foot of the resource for a score and a comment which students can act upon. Using multiple resources will build up a profile of which topics students need to review to enhance their learning. The sheet can be edited to give an infinite number of variations too. Check out the other grids in the series to build a bank of resources! A low ability GCSE class will take around 25 minutes to complete a grid.

This is a whole lesson on creating a fraction equivalent to a given fraction. The lesson starter is 10 general questions on grade 1/2 mathematics. The lesson powerpoint takes students through the concept of how a fraction can be "disguised" so that it looks completely different but yet has the same value. The differentiated resource allows students to write their answers on it. There is also a code breaker which will challenge students.

Complete lesson on the concept of writing one quantity as a fraction of another. For example, in a room of 20 students, 8 of them wear glasses: write the glasses wearers as a fraction of the room. There is a starter which can be used in your other lessons as it is 10 questions of a general GCSE grade 3 level. The powerpoint takes the students through the procedure and then there is a differentiated resource which students can write on. There is also extension material which require more thinking about the selection of the numbers. There is also a matching puzzle with the questions in the top half and the answers in the bottom.

An entire lesson for any student starting to round a number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000. The starter is 10 simple questions which are true or false (5 minutes). The powerpoint takes the students through the method of rounding a number of any size to the nearest 10,100 or 1000. The resource that accompanies the lesson is a fully differentiated book (1 star:supported to 3 star: no help needed) which students can write on.

This is the 15th lesson in the AS course devised by myself. The lesson powerpoint will show students how to solve quadratic inequalities by factorising and sketching the curve. A 5 minute starter on recent material students should know is included and there is a generic plenary on the last slide. The resource that accompanies the lesson will allow students to practise the lesson's objective, with the questions matching those explained by you in your exposition. There are 3 levels of differentiation on the resource and this will help your planning of directed differentiation. Resources can be printed so that students can have their own files of notes and examples. This can also be used with KS4
