Probability questions from a variety of past examination papers, suitably changed, and some new ones created to reflect the 2017 examination, with multiple choice answers added by me. Not yet trailed in the classroom so please advise me of any mistakes. (Nobody’s perfect, as Joe E Brown famously said on screen.)

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting a 'one star' rating for the paid set of thirty, I thought of this - try these three for free, and if you like them, you can buy the full set, which cost £1.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. Elsewhere on TES I have created twenty seven lessons in all, covering the rest of algebra, geometry and measure for higher tier. There is also another set covering number, ratio, proportion, and statistics and probability, and also three free samples of number. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting a 'one star' rating for the paid set of thirty, I thought of this - try these three for free, and if you like them, you can buy the rest of the set, which cost £1.

Multiple choice quiz for checking understanding at any stage. Simple area from KS2, but useful for revision at KS3.

Batch of ten worksheets in the style of test questions in Word and PDF. Topics A through to G. Look out for batches two and three. Great for lots of things, and very popular.

A very short worksheet with four examples of price reductions - which one represents the greatest percentage discount? Alternately all on one slide of PowerPoint, plus the solutions on the same Powerpoint. Twenty minute activity, warm up, revision etc. (And I've corrected a mistake on the baguettes question and answer, I hope.)

Just the specifications for Maths KS3 put into Word, which you might find easy for cutting and pasting into lesson plans etc.

I actually wrote this for the Teaching Agency numeracy skills test - I'm helping a few people to pass this hurdle, hopefully. However, it has equal application in the classroom for KS3 and KS4. I also used it with Functional Skills, having changed the context to make it more vocational. FS invloves only mean and range, it is good to seperate the different measures in the mind of the learner.

Two PowerPoint presentations for Key Stage 1, or KS2 revision. One gives the properties of shapes in terms of surfaces, faces, vertices, edges etc., with pictures, for naming. The other is a collection of photographs of real shapes to be identified. Accompanying worksheets for £1 on the premium resources. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-3d-shapes-key-stage-1-or-key-stage-2-revision-bundle-of-fully-supported-activities-11180981 All images (c) Colin Billett 2015

Learners have so little practice of abstract reasoning in mathematics, and often confounded by what might seem to be simple questions right through the key stages. So I've made a one-sided set of questions just to give them a bit more experience.

Cards to assess understanding and generate discussion, with a PowerPoint version of the same cards for plenary.

Learners always need practical activities - colourful and kinaesthetic as they remind me, and Geoboards are great way of showing so much to do with shape and space. I've done simple templates, for learners to record, and also for using on a Smartboard. A variety of formats, with a few simple questions, but lots more can be asked. An &'open&'; resource for all types of thing.

A handful of activities I did to get the topics started for my adult GCSE and re-sit classes, largely so I could introduce them whilst seated during my convalescence. At the same time they might be useful for younger learners and for quick revision. After years of laying out cards I realised it was just as easy to print PowerPoint slides as handouts, six to a page, and do that on card. So there are equations to match to solutions, and a few other PowerPoints. Enjoy.

A full set of resources to deliver the construction and interpretation of frequency polygons. Suitable for KS3, Foundation Tier GCSE and as a starter for Higher Tier before doing Cumulative Frequency Diagrams. Includes lesson plan, warm up starter activity on collecting data, PowerPoint on how to draw a frequency polygon, activities for the learners to undertake, and a plenary slide-show with suitable questions for checking learning. All data genuine and gathered this year.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting poor feedback, I decided to make the first three as free samples, so do check them out before you buy this full set. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-sample-specifications-and-objectives-for-gcse-higher-tier-3-lessons-in-powerpoint-11163375

Introduction to factors, multiples and prime numbers, with activities, worksheets, and SAT style questions for practise or assessment. Great for revision at KS3 or Foundation GCSE. Plenty to engage, and some more challenging questions. Mathematics Curriculum KS2 Year 5 Pupils should be taught to: • identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, • know and use the vocabulary of prime numbers • establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19 They use and understand the terms factor, multiple and prime, and square numbers. Year 6 • identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers

Three sets of equations, all fairly simple linear and suitable for anyone from Year 6 upwards. Great for quick thinking, mental maths, abstract thinking, and reverse operations. And it might give you ideas for making some of your own. Better still - get the learners to make one using a camera/phone/scanner and PowerPoint or a simple slide show.

Everything you need for a lesson (or two) on reading and interpreting a cumulative frequency graph. Starter activity on PowerPoint to review average and range, with common mistakes and a more challenging question; a presentation in PowerPoint on reading and interpreting a cumulative frequency graph with two examples; learner activities, four questions in Word or PDF; a plenary presentation in PowerPoint to check learning; and a lesson plan to make the whole thing complete. Suitable for high achievers at KS3, or Higher Tier on GCSE now and for the 2015 specs. Can be uploaded to a VLE for the learners to follow themselves.

Rainbow coloured circle timer - lasts about a minute, but don't rely on accuracy. Pretty!

GCSE Mathematics - Foundation and Higher Tier. Finding the equation of a line through two points and perpendicular lines. A worksheet/activity that reminds learners of the algebraic form of a straight line, and goes on to finding the equation of a line joining two points and find the equations of perpendicular lines. Lots of GCSE style questions. Foundation Tier Plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel lines; find the equation of the line through two given points or through one point with a given gradient. Higher Tier Plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel and perpendicular lines; find the equation of the line through two given points or through one point with a given gradient.
