Uses inverse operations and function machines to introduce solving equations.

A series of probability scenarios to consider the outcomes for, identify successes and then calculate the probability for.

From angles on a straight line through to isosceles triangles with a straight line. Answers at the bottom. They can be chopped of or used to self assess with a focus on correctly justifying your answer as opposed to simply correctly answering.

Involves groups of students developing their own skills in construction using independent learning. The team challenge is to produce the final piece of presentation work over a series of lessons. During these lessons the teacher or more able students provide demonstrations of construction techniques that assist in the completion of the task. Due to the repetition students consolidate their understanding of key elements and focus on supporting others. The task is linked to the 12 days of Christmas.

Differentiated circumference questions.

A thinking skills exercise. Placing different hat for different thinking types.

Designed as a revision exercise for year 11s but equally applicable within KS4 and higher attaining KS3. Matching description, formaule, diagram and answer(given diagrams dimensions). Designed to recap finding area of a variety of shapes including circles.

Role cards within groups and classes. I've labelled each of my table positions and simply ask 1s to collect a particular role card. 2s to act as Behaviour Captains etc. I've added a .ppt file for you to edit. Initial idea credit has to go to Emma Ingate.

Bite-sized revision chunks for the following circle topics: Circle Terminology Area of a Cirle Circumference of a Circle Perimeter of a Semi-Circle Area of a Semi-Circle

Poster for to help develop independent workers.

Two differentiated worksheets on finding the missing lengths of similar shapes. Both worksheets conclude with a challenge question taken from GCSE exam papers.

A worksheet with problems on angles at a point, on a line and in a triangle. Differentiated worksheets designed for a middle year 7 group.

'I Think of A Number Cards' Designed to be 4 distinct sets of questions cards this resource is developed as an introduction to solving equations. It original design is to go alongside a lesson developing the idea of inverse to then be taken on to the solution of formal algebra. Set 1-Addition and Subtraction (1 Stage) Set 2 -Multiplication and Division (1 Stage) Set 3 - Multiplication then Addition/Subtraction (2 Stage) Set 4 - All 4 in any order (2 Stage) Second version doesn't provide answers.

A PPT file support the discovery of interior angle properties of polygon. This is a follow on lesson based around a table with the number of side, number of triangles and interior angle sum columns. A number of tasks at the end extend the ideas beyond the previous lesson.

The powerpoint used to create a near pod presentation. Couldn't share the NPP because of TES rules.

In this word document worksheet find the two mistakes hidden in 3 questions regarding angles around a point, a line and a triangle.

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

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!
