Practice for the skills required to find a percentage of an amount; not difficult but designed for non-calculator use ultimately and checks skills such as multiplying and dividing by 100, decimals, converting between fractions, decimals and percentages before asking a few percentage of an number questions.

The next in the “Building Blocks” series going through all the skills that lead up to different ratio problems. I have included simplifying fractions, unit conversion, HCF before moving on to ratio problems of varying difficulty levels. Hopefully this should provide some useful revision tasks.

The “Building Blocks” sequel to “Percentage of an Amount” - this goes through percentage change of all types.

Another in the series taking students through the skills required to solve equations, including simplifying expressions, expanding brackets and reading the question carefully!

Takes you through the skills required to find averages, including frequency tables and grouped frequency. Hopefully the errors are corrected now!

This takes students through everything they will need to know about sets and Venn diagrams, building up to the hardest type of question (hence the name).

Another one of these, taking students through the skills required for linear graphs up to and including perpendicular line.

Yet another of these - moving from basics to quadratics and everything inbetween.

I have concentrated on the algebra rather than linking to graphs of functions as I’m not sure at GCSE that the graphs are overly helpful for solving function notation problems; I will eventually get on to transforming functions which will tackle this (size could be an issue in the format though). This goes from simple function machines, through substitution, rearranging formulae and links them to functions questions. This started off as a request from a former colleague who bemoaned the lack of function notation resources, which is a fair point at present, I think.

This takes students through the skills required to answer vectors questions and some vectors questions from adding vectors to describing routes to proof.

This details the skills required to perform GCSE proofs up to grade 8/9 building up from the basics to the more complicated questions.

This takes students through the skills required to solve differentiation problems at GCSE and IGCSE level.

A colleague suggested using Amazon reviews of albums to calculate averages from frequency tables/bar graphs, so I did. Hopefully it is useful. I have chosen albums that have similar ratings for a reason, plus the students will rip my music taste apart (little do they know that my music taste is far superior to theirs…).

Taking students through the skills required to solve problems involving surds. There are questions that students will need to do without a calculator as the calculator will give them the fully simplified solution.

This takes you through basic indices then on to fractional and negative indices covering all the skills required allowing students to understand how they all link up to reach the most challenging question types.

This goes through straightforward conversions to compound measure (speed and density).

I was doing some revision with a class and realised that I was yet to do a sheet involving HCF and LCM and everything along those lines. That is now remedied.

Working up from simple fraction of a number to adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing mixed numbers with everything in between, including a “Show that” question which always seems to confuse some.

This takes students through the basics of rounding (hundreds, units, dp, sf etc)through to estimation and bounds, including bounds calculations.

This takes students from simplifying expression, through factorising and up to algebraic fractions.
