I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

This is a booklet of 22 worksheets that can be used for either revision, homework or those students who have missed work with each containing a QR code that will scan to a short tutorial video. It is designed to cover the entire GCSE geometry curriculum. I have tried to order the sheets in a logical way, although not necessarily in "difficulty" order, the topics are grouped. These are the Word files so they can be edited to your own preference.

These are levelled/graded worksheets covering the GCSE curriculum and split up into topics. Each individual sheet builds from the most straightforward elements of the topic through to the most challenging. At the top of each sheet is a “RAG” table for students to complete before and/or after completing each section; every statement in a RAG table is connected to a section in the sheet. I have produced these for two reasons: firstly to allow my Year 11 students to focus their revision on the areas that will make it most efficient and secondly to have a bank of worksheets available that students can differentiate themselves for any GCSE topic within lessons. These are the Word files to allow for editing. Answers are included. Updated December 2018.

Five HCF and LCM functional questions using the characters from Phineas and Ferb. All put together in a PowerPoint and including answers. Now with a link to the Phineas and Ferb theme tune! Typos corrected.

These are an attempt to break from the monotony of past papers in the run up to exam season. I have taken 2 or 4 (depending on whether they will fit on a page!) questions from past papers and put them on one sheet; I will photocopy onto A3 for students to have a go in groups and discuss. The aims/rules etc are all listed if you wish to follow them and hopefully they all make sense. I have also provided answers.
Six matching activities that get increasingly harder. Not all match which means that "process of elimination" cannot be used by students. This involves listing integers based upon an inequality and solving them too. This is an activity designed to encourage discussion. Now with quadratic inequalities slides! Errors corrected (I hope).
This is a booklet of 25 worksheets that can be used for either revision, homework or those students who have missed work with each containing a QR code that will scan to a short tutorial video. It is designed to cover the entire GCSE algebra curriculum. I have tried to order the sheets in a logical way, although not necessarily in "difficulty" order, the topics are grouped. These are the Word files so they can be edited to your own preference.

All these are available for free but if you want to download them in one bundle then this is for you. The activities ask increasingly harder questions as you go through and are designed to encourage discussion in class. I use them regularly and the students engage well with them.
These are all available for free individually but if you don't have the time then this is for you. Clive makes common mistakes, mistakes you'll have seen in class. Your students need to find the mistakes, correct them and explain where Clive has gone wrong so that he doesn't do the same thing again. These activities are designed to create discussion in class and can be used to assess understanding.
A bunch of codebreakers (the usual terrible joke) having solved a load of algebra problems involving functions, arithmetic sequences, inequalities, substitution and other algebra topics. These can be used as a starter or plenary or even part of a main task in a lesson.
Twenty two codebreakers on various topics including bearings, similarity, scale drawing, simultaneous equations (linear/quadratic), circles, angles, transforming functions, metric units, Pythagoras and trigonometry and 3D views. The usual format of correct answers revealing the punchline to a cheesy joke.
I was asked to teach a friend’s child how to add and subtract fractions from the basics up to adding fractions with similar denominators. This is what I came up with, using colouring in rectangles to help. I hope it’s useful.
This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use fractions, percentages, probability, ratio, volume, money, upper and lower bounds, speed, standard form as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.
The world’s increasing population means that Santa has to run a rotation system for his reindeer to stop them getting over tired. This means six question and eight answers for students to solve so that Santa can select his reindeer. These offer a self-checking, festive feel to maths lessons (my Year 11 liked them anyway). Topics include Inequalities, differentiation, functions (substitution, inverse and composite), simplifying indices, solving quadratics (both factorising and non-factorising), simultaneous equations, rearranging formulae and others. We were told to teach until the holidays (fair enough) so I did this…
Ten Maths Advent Calendars on various topics including solving linear equations, differentiation (both available separately if you want to see what they are like), indices, substitution, functions, ratio, percentages, equations of line, calculating with fractions and Bidmas. Each has 24 questions whose answers are numbered from 1 to 24 (1/24 to 24/24 in the calculating with fractions one) and when the solutions are placed in order a joke is revealed. These have gone down well in my classes and tick the “proper work right up to the holidays” box too. The jokes are pretty lame but that’s part of it!
