A straightforward powerpoint to take students through the basics of rearranging formulae. The lesson starter involves solving equations to get students into the frame of mind to consider inverse operations. The powerpoint also includes some exam questions including more difficult examples where the subject appears twice. Some students might require some reminders on factorising and expanding within the lesson too.

Complete lesson for teaching theorems relating to tangents. Students draw and describe first and then apply the theorems to some exercises. As a plenary, students first fill in the missing angles before being presented with the word to accompany the exam question.

A simple sheet to enable practice on finding the nth term of a linear sequence, the 10th, 50th and hundredth terms. Ideal for supporting GCSe foundation or as a revision homework for higher ability groups

A lesson to consolidate and expand upon grade 'B' circle theorems. Extension work into 'A' Grade problems and an exam question as a plenary

A complete unit of work covering averages from a table, estimated average, cumulative frequency and box plos

A series of notebook files for teaching straight line graphs, with a homework and some starter activities. See me "Alien Zapping" resource for further straight line graph activities

Set pairs (or two students and a singleton!) against each other to work their way across this Algebra revision board in the style of blockbusters. Can be laminated and written on or give students two alternate coloured highlighter pens, which gives you a visible guide as to their progress.

Group Challenge Lesson on Area, Volume etc. Students work in groups of 3/4. Collective memory style task to start, then answer questions...submit codes on sheet. Review three times during lesson. Self assessment towards end of lesson whilst you check the scores...plenary..review their self assessment and any questions that proved difficult to answer Top Tip: Freeze your IWB or hide excel as you enter the scores to build the suspense and review progress after each time you mark.

A revision PowerPoint designed for KS4 students. The starter concerns the product rule which is now included in the 9-1 scheme. The lesson progresses through basic completion of trees to wordy "without replacement" style questions. A simple plenary to draw out a misconception and to reinforce multiplication of independent events.

A nice open ended worksheet for L6/7 students to recap Graphs at the end of a topic. Students can start at any point on the wheel according to their confidence levels Starts at plotting from a table of values, through calculating Gradients, then Gradient intercept richt upto finding an equation given tow co-ordinates.

An exercise designed to recap or revise all areas of number work that involves HCF, LCM, Powers, Roots etc suitable for GCSE or KS3 students. I use this as an end of unit assessment and either make A3 sheets to share or individually as a homework. The answers will spell a question that then needs to be answered and can be modelled at the end of the lesson as a plenary. A simple extension task is to ask students to test each other and make their own codes - I have also set this for homework in the past.

A straightforward lesson and differentiated or staged worksheet for simplifying algebraic fractions. We start with simple multiplication / division and then through expressions which require factorising. Perfect for Middle ability Y11’s, a brighter group might want some further examples of non-monic quadratics as an extension activity. October 2021. Updated to include a powerpoint version for non Notebook users.

A clear and straightforward Notebook file to explain what these indices represent. Can be used in conjunction with GCSE textbook or suitable worksheet although there are plenty of examples on screen
