** Students will need access to a computer and this Excel file** Created on Excel. Students need access to a computer to use this worksheet. Tasks are differentiated along the task bar at the bottom. The worksheet responds instantly to incorrect answers. Examples given to help students independent learning of the grid method.

I spent hours making this! A difficult worksheet that can be used at the end of studying all transformations. Follow the transformations correctly for each shape will produce a picture in the middle. (a fish!)

Easily differentiated maths warm up. Perfect as a quick starter.

Students very quickly understand the concepts of reflections, rotations and symmetry when creating rangoli patterns. I always use this before starting the Transformations topic. Powerpoint and worksheets guide students step by step in creating these patterns.

A simple but very clever way to introduce standard deviation. Students thoroughly understand the purpose and how to use standard deviation being taught with this resource. Pair it with a few extra questions from a textbook to make a full lesson.

**Students will need around 5 plastic straws each, paper, sticky tape and scissors** A fully differentiated Geometry project on making optimum straw aeroplanes. Easy to carry it out in any way you wish. Can do it over 2 lessons or do it over 5. Three levels of difficulty are indicated by the colour of the straws in the slides. Different difficulties assume different understanding of various topics. Easy (green): Measurements, circumference (not calculating), area of rectangles, Mean Medium (yellow): above plus area of circles and area of triangles Hard (red): above plus volumes of cylinders and areas of trapeziums. Recommended for 11 to 14 year olds at the end of the year.

A fun couple of lessons to get students use to using their compass. I always use this lesson before starting the constructions unit. This resource demonstrates how to draw two different patterns and then encourages students to have a go at making their own crop circles. The patterns easily take up one lesson. The crop circles can be saved for another lesson later in the year.

This is a fun lesson for the very able. After teaching functions and their graphs and transformations of graphs this lesson guides students in using this knowledge to draw graphical pictures. The worksheet teaches the student step by step by guiding them to draw a house with a chimney. That takes the first 20-30 minutes at which point students are directed to drawing their own.

To be used at the end of the transformations scheme. Includes a complicated worksheet that I made in which produces a picture if students correctly carry out all the transformations.

A great lesson where students investigate the golden ratio proportions in the face. A 10 minute starter using the same concept with the hand helps introduce the idea. They can then look at how well celebrities fit the golden ratio. Finishes with a video that shows somebody using photoshop to make a face match the golden ratio grid (a link to youtube).

Fun one-off lesson. Perfect for end of term fun lessons. Students learn how to fold the paper to cut out snowflakes with 1, 2, 4 and 5 lines of symmetry. The 5 lines of symmetry snowflakes look particularly impressive!

At least two lessons worth of material that covers everything you need to teach Bounds. Exercises with answers all included on the powerpoint.

Everything you need to teach the vectors unit. Around 3-4 lessons worth without worksheets. Use alongside a textbook if required but to neccessary for a top set.

At least 3 lessons worth of material. First lesson goes through Highest Common Factors and Lowest Common Multiples. Engaging nature facts and memorable methods help the learning of these skills. Moves on to understanding prime numbers and what they are. Followed by prime factor trees (prime factor decomposition). This leads into using prime factors to calculate the HCF and LCM using Venn Diagrams.

** You will need measuring tapes to run this activity/lesson** Ratio and Proportion Students are introduced to Leonardo Di Vinci's view of what the perfectly proportioned man is. Using statements that Leonardo made students will learn the ratios and how to calculate with them. The main task will be them working in pairs to see how they measure up to Leonardo's expectations (using the worksheet). A quick finish with an introduction to the golden ratio and a nice video that closes the lesson.

Everything you need to teach direct and indirect variation for the GCSE. This is not the unitary method. Directs students step by step making sure they lay out their methods properly.

Using their ability to calculate the volumes of cuboids, prisms and spheres students use measuring tapes and maths to estimate the volume of their body. Differentiated resource over two levels so students can stick to just using cuboids or can move onto using spheres, cyclinders and trapezoidal prisms. Perfect project to finish off a mensuration unit.

Using the London underground to explain the majority of new terminology. The whole of Chapter 2 can be learnt and taught from these resources.

A fun resource that introduces and teaches tesselations clearly.

** Students need access to a computer and this Excel worksheet** Created on Excel. Students need access to a computer to use this worksheet. To practise dividing numbers using the "bus stop method". Tasks are differentiated along the task bar at the bottom. The worksheet responds instantly to incorrect answers with funny responses which students love. Examples given to help students independent learning.
