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/

These are all available for free but if you haven’t the time to search for them then here they are. I find these useful for short homeworks, starters or plenaries and if the answer doesn’t appear then they need to check theirs!
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 in December 2018.
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…
This is a booklet of 29 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 data 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 have been very successful in online lessons and remain successful now we are back in the classroom. These have been written since the New Year. Topics include averages, compound measures, bar charts, cumulative frequency, bounds, error intervals, functions, metric measures, probability and others. These are all available individually for free.
These defuse the bomb tasks have all been written since the New Year and have been successful in online lessons as well as in class. They cover topics such as rounding, truncation, sequences, sets and Venn diagrams, quadratics, compound measures, tree diagrams and more. They are all available for free individually.

All these are available for free but if you want them all in one hit then here you go. These can be used as a quick homework, plenary or starter and get students to find a punchline to a joke, a film or a song title whilst embedding their newly acquired knowledge.
This is a booklet of 50 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.

Erica makes mistakes; lots of mistakes. You have her homework on every topic covered in the first year of her A level mathematics course where she consistently makes mistakes. Your job, or more accurately, the students in your classes’ job is to correct Erica’s errors and explain where she’s gone wrong so that she doesn’t make the same mistakes again. These have gone down well in my classes and really encourage discussion about the mathematics and should embed a deeper understanding.
Erica is struggling with many aspects of the A level mathematics course and needs help from your students. What you have here is 17 of her homeworks, each with mistakes in solutions which your students need to find, correct and explain where Erica has gone wrong. These are purely designed to generate discussion and to allow students to demonstrate their understanding, whilst also allowing them to show their own methods of solving problems. These are all based upon the new A level curriculum.
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.
These tasks allow students to build up the challenge by completing increasingly challenging questions on a given topic; ideal for end of topic tasks, revision or AfL.
All these are available for free but if you are short of time…
I was given a box of Cheesy Jokes by a student so thought I'd make some codebreakers with them. Some codebreakers turned into 17 codebreakers and a change of name to Cheesebreakers and here you go. The students enjoy the challenge of revealing the terrible joke and they get to practise som questions on the topics listed which include fractions, percentages, angles, circle theorem, inequalities, transformations, equations, surds, ratio, proportion, measures, indices, averages. I will do a Cheesebreaker Taster if you are not sure.
Each of these 20 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of number topics from fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, of an amount), percentages (of an amount, increase/decrease, repeated change), ratio (simplifying and sharing), indices (simplifying, negative and fractional) and negative numbers. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.
This is a booklet of over 40 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. Answers are provided.
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.
