I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Four great bundles of stuff for developing skills and understanding in the area of probability. Great for introducing topics in Years 7, 8 and 9, and for revising skills later on. All you need up to and including GCSE Foundation and Higher.
Plus two-way tables, which are a great way of giving opportunities for practising probability knowledge and skills.
A bundle of three sets of resources to introduce and develop standard form in KS3, and taking it through to GCSE requirements for Foundation. Big savings!
Pythagoras, and trigonometric ratios of sin, cos and tan. Introduced and developed in a variety of ways covering everything on right-angled triangles for KS3 high flyers and GCSE revision, up to the top end of Foundation. Lots of presentations, worksheets and assessment material.
Big bundle of resources covering all aspects of GCSE statistics - histograms, cumulative frequency, box and whisker, frequency polygons, and averages of grouped data. Lots of differentiation, and all tried and tested in the classroom.
A very full set of resources to use and apply Pythagoras' Theorem in a wide range of situations, from simple triangles to finding the length of a line on a co-ordinate grid. PowerPoint presentation with early slides reminding learners of the principles and knowledge. Later questions apply the knowledge and lead on to generalisations.
Plus extra worksheets on finding perimeter of polygons and finding the area of a circle drawn on a co-ordinate grid. Surds and use of pi encouraged in line with 2015 UK curriculum. Plus a multiple choice starter to check learning before they begin, with six questions, and another multiple choice activity to use for homework, or as a simple starter in a following lesson.
Three big sets of worksheets in the style of SATs at KS2, covering the variety of questions asked over the history of the tests. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for the new no-calculator tests, plus two big worksheets on reasoning and problem solving. Great for year 6 revision, or for KS3 and year 7 to brush up the primary skills.
Buy bundle for half price of individual files.
Everything needed to introduce algebra in Key Stage 2 (Year 6) or to revise and build upon it in KS 3 or later. Formulas, sequences, missing numbers, number patterns and missing number problems.
Presentations, worksheets, activities and assessments covering the whole of algebra in Year 6, and also suitable for older learners. Lots of opportunities for deep thinking, and for differentiation, and all suitable for editing if required. Most have answers. And many questions based on previous SATs.
All written to new UK standards (2015).
Year 6 Algebra
Pupils should be taught to:
• use simple formulae
• generate and describe linear number sequences
• express missing number problems algebraically
• find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
• enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables.
Notes and guidance (non-statutory)
Pupils should be introduced to the use of symbols and letters to represent variables and unknowns in mathematical situations that they already understand, such as:
• missing numbers, lengths, coordinates and angles
• formulae in mathematics and science
• equivalent expressions (for example, a + b = b + a)
• generalisations of number patterns
• number puzzles (for example, what two numbers can add up to).
A big bundle of assorted resources for full lessons to teach area and perimeter in UK primary schools. Rectangles, squares, parallelograms, triangles. All with full NC specs.
Covers everything for years 4, 5 and 6.
Great for revision in KS3 or GCSE foundation and Functional Skills
Everything you need for teaching, learning and assessing ratio at KS4, GCSE.
Tests, presentations, classwork, homework, plus lots of exam style questions, duly adopted and adapted.
