An opportunity to explore expected value through two way tables ( a potential examination combination). You'll find a modelling question, open task to explore, investigate and question as well as a extension question to really put the mathematics to good use. Enjoy!

An interpretation of Maths PRET homework (see http://prethomework.weebly.com/about.html for details) on the theme of area of a circle.

A couple of activities to support lessons involving histograms. One a learner bingo and the other a True or False activity.

A few resources I created a few years ago. They adapt the standard unit resources.

A self contained document originally designed for varying tasks per table completed on a rotation basis. There are information sheets and questions sheets. It has however since been used to create a mini booklet for individual work.

Relay for volume and surface area. Students apply the formulae provided on the exam paper to the full range of 3D shapes. They also have an opportunity to consider surface area.

A prompt for resources gathering for SCITT, GTP and NQTs in Maths.

Students run a school canteen. 1. They select 2 recipes to produce in their canteen. 2. They survey the class for demand for each dish using a tally chart. 3. They calculate the quantities required for each it recipe item in grams. 4. They round and convert into whole kg units to then cst each item. 5. They calculate profit by calculating total revenue and total cost. This activity worked well just before Easter as a competitive challeneg completed in pairs with a middle attaining year 7 group.

Three problems designed to get students learning by pursuing answers to big problems, consolidating understanding as they go.

Carpet and wallpaper a house with given information.

A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems. EDIT: The first 4 slides for part of an Always, sometimes, never questioning session that I haven't obviously highlighted. I am fully aware that trapezium's don't have right angles. The task is designed to illicit misconceptions! Apologies for forgetting to signpost!

An extension of a NRich problem whereby students investigate a 10 dot circle (printout available from NRICH under printable resources). The problem begins by consolidating isosceles triangles within a 10 dot circle. The problem then moves into exploring a series of circle theorems using the triangles they found from the first 2 problems. Once students have done this they have the basis from which to generalise circle theorems.

Students create their own percentage questions at grades B and C with bonus questions being made at grade A. Students create as opposed to answer ensuring they develop a generality as to the question types and can better identify the processes required.

Here is a little bit of a crib sheet with lots of useful ideas. I've been reading 101 Classroom Games, written from a PE perspective and been looking at how to use it in a maths context. The problem being the context in which answers are given etc. Well worth a read but here is a selection of some of the ideas it has inspired and a crib sheet to keep them in mind and begin using them.

A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems.

These hexagons promote the discussion over length, area and volume for B to A* candidates. The idea comes from a English observation mentioned on the website linked and has been put into a mathematical context. Place like dominos explaining the decision for the tiles placement in its given location thus revealing the deeper understanding of the student.

Name the graph, higher tier.

I wasn’t quite happy with what was out there so created these 3 files. One blank, one complete(potentially a knowledge organiser for quadrilaterals) and a third for a quick quiz. Bonus resource on Always, Sometimes, Never related to quadrilaterals.

A selection of starters/do nows to aid National Careers Week and the application of mathematics to a wide variety of jobs.

A tarsia puzzle designed to develop students' use of trigonometric identities. Useful for both initial teaching and revision and recap for C2. Involves numerous problems all requiring the application of the two most basic trigonometric identities.
