Assessment for Learning. This is my attempt at creating some form of assessment for secondary school pupils who are working on P levels, because i couldn't find anything. I&'ve made it by going through descriptions of the levels and trying to think of tasks. Hope you find it useful. Please if you have anything more suitable please give me a message becasue i&';m desparate for something good.

A PowerPoint with 16 world records, students have to make estimates with sensible units, then there are links to show the answer along with a picture. Good maybe as a starter or fun end to a few lesson. A good thinking skills activity.

A KS3 powerpoint activity showing how to calculate the circumference of circles and the perimeter of shapes with curved sides, with some questions and answers at the end.

A GCSE powerpoint showing how to find the eqaution of parallel and perpendicular lines, with some questions at the end. To be used on the interactive whiteboard.

KS3 Classroom activity. Students take it in turn to pick a square on the grid, then they each roll 2 dice, one to give a value of a and the other the value of b, they then work out the value of the expression for thier values, whoever has the highest puts his/her colour counter on he square. However has the most counters on the board at the end wins.

KS3 / GCSE statistics. A lesson i did introducing box and whisker plots jumping on the avengers band wagon. Pupils shuffle avenger cards and create a tem of 11 heroes and draw a box plot of thier power and cunning, comparing the two and comparing with a friend to see who has the best team. Pupils then add soldiers and super heroes to the team to see affects on thier plots. Along with the cards i have larder A4 cards for the start of the lesson when i get 7 kids up to go through th efirst two box plots on the powerpoint.

This is based on some i can statements for level 1 maths and i made it for students in my main stream class who were working towards level 1 as we didn't really have a scheme of work for them. The idea is that myself or thier TA work with them on the various areas and ticks of every time a lesson is spent on one of the statements. After a few lesson the statement is then graded depending on the level of support needed, this is helping us know where to focus our efforts to get the students to level 1. This is a work in progress so I'd love to know what you think.

A series of slides showing how to do the various constructions. Includes perpendicular bisectors, angle bisector, ASA,SSS SAS triangles aswell as some loci. I wouldn't use these as a lesson, maybe would give it to pupils for revision or have it ready to pinch slides out of when i needed them. Hope you find it useful

KS3 / GCSE PowerPoint Activity. Same idea as my first megapower, slides of question on a range of topics. Tried to take on what people said about the last one so have tried to make slides clearer and more importantly have put answers up. Please remember that there are well over 10000 answers on here so a couple are going to be wrong due to slips when i was working them out.(includes fractions,decimals percentages, transformations, trigonometry, area, angles, construction, equations, quadratics, sequences, graphs, sampling, probability and a load more) Ben

A PowerPoint with 30 multiple choice quizzes, good for AFL if you give students cards labelled a,b,c,d to wave. Ideal for KS3 and GCSE students. Includes lots of percentage work, decimals, addition, multiplication and division practise, rounding, decimals, primes, squares, HCF, LCM. Hope you find it useful, if not to use then at least to adapt, please let me know what you think.

A powerpoint which covers most fraction topics. Includes simplifying, equivalent fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, conversion to decimals and percentages, ordering fractions, finding fractions of amounts. There are questions to practise with. I intend to give it to students so they can take it home to revise from, these aren't intended to be full lessons. Hope you find it useful. Little error with adding fractions slides sorted out

A GCSE algebra powerpoint activity showing how to work out the equations of a line which is paralllel or perpendicular to another line and passes through a certain point. Some questions and answers at the end.

A little KS3 PowerPoint animation showing how I try to teach adding and subtracting negative numbers, some questions at the end Hope you find it useful.

A lesson on completing the square with a quiz for a starter, a few examples and a quiz at the end

A powerpoint showing how the graphical methods for solving simultaneous equations using the cover up method. Not sure it's the most mathematically sound way of teaching it in the world but worked with the group i had, horses for courses and all that

KS3 Activity. Simpsons activity. A set of cards with simpsons characters and fractions. The main activity of the lesson is to find how many sweets everyone in springfield ate if they were all given a bag of 24 sweets. A little starter on division and some animations showing how to split piles of sweets into given fractions. I used this with bottom set year 7 to start fractions and they liked it especially as i gave them all 24 skittles to help them practise ( i told them the 'S' stood for springfield).

A powerpoint about area of circles, nothing fancy, with some questions at the end which include quarter, semi circles and pi. Hope you find it useful

A scheme of work i made based on OCRs specification, designed for our students who won't be entered for GCSE maths. The course is designed to be completed in about a year, but i'm thinking I&'ll need to be flexible with the timings and use the same scheme for year 10 and 11. Hope you find it useful

A GCSE PowerPoint showing how to use multipliers to increase and decrease amounts as well as find original prices. There are some questions for students too. Hope you find this useful.

A worksheet test on ratio and direct proportion ideal for KS3 and GCSE students. Can be printed out and given to students or used on the IWB.
