Expanding Binomials and Factorising Quadratic Expressions Objectives: To be able to: • expand products of two binomials • factorise quadratic expressions of the form x2+ bx + c, including the difference of two squares All the research says that girls learn best by understanding, and that by far the best approach to expanding and factorising is by using the grid method. I’ve done this very successfully for years, and retention is greatly improved by giving as little input as possible, and giving the learners challenges to complete. Plus an investigation to give that stretch and challenge. A full set of resources for learning how to expand and factorise, with a PowerPoint that can be used for class discussion. Plus some extra exercises for homework or assessment in a subsequent lesson. And a reminder of multiplication and addition of positive and negative numbers for a quick warm-up. All answers included!

KS1 programme of study in Word for easy cutting and pasting into schemes of work, lesson plans etc. Plus a table format for recording.

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

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Mensuration and Calculation included. Twenty seven lessons in all. After getting 'one-star' review on the complementary set, which covers number, ratio etc., I decided to offer a free sample of the first three algebra PowerPoints so you can try them first before you commit to buy them.

Quite simply a scheme of work for GCSE Mathematics for one academic year. Use it as it is, or swap the weeks about and change the resources to make it your own. All text from published documents are free to use for educational purposes.

Maths. Descriptors and specifications for UK Key Stage 4, although equally adequate for KS3. All lovingly put into word clouds using Wordle. I made B/W versions some time ago, but now I've been asked for colour, so here they are. Copyright on final images (c)Colin Billett 2015 And all credit to Wordle, as cited on the website: 'May I make money off of Wordle images? Yes. You may take a Wordle, put it on your book cover, your t-shirt, your campaign poster, what have you. You may get rich off it. If you want to give credit to wordle.net, feel free!' So again, all credit to wordle.net, and many thanks! Any problems, please let me know and I can change the formats.

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

Maths KS3 or KS4 revision. Trigonometric ratios, moving from tan to sine and cosine. Everything you need for a full lesson or two to develop trigonometry from the tangent ratio to sine and cosine. Let the learners tackle the activities, or guide them through with PowerPoint presentations. Presentations, worksheets, activities and solutions. Please leave comments, suggestions or corrections.

Everything you need for a full lesson or two to introduce trigonometry and the tangent ratio from similar triangles. Let the learners tackle the activities, or guide them through with PowerPoint presentations. Presentations, worksheets, activities and solutions. Please leave comments, suggestions or corrections.

Common Core Standards Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles 6. Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles. Everything you need to deliver a full lesson (or two) to introduce trigonometry through similar triangles and the tangent function. Presentation, activities, worksheets, along with answers, covering all aspects of the Common Core Standards. Please leave comments, suggestions or corrections.

KS3 - derive and apply formulae to calculate volume of cuboids (including cubes) and other prisms. Worksheet/activity to recap simple area, a presentation in PowerPoint to get the learners thinking about volume of cubes, cuboids and prisms, then assorted worksheets presenting prisms in a variety of ways, including those drawn on isometric grids. In PDF or Word for editing and adopting.

Fractions four rules KS2 -Year 3 'Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole.' 'Pupils practise adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator through a variety of increasingly complex problems to improve fluency.' Presentation and lots of activity, and plenty of resources for you to adapt and make your own. Worksheets, fractions cards, all differentiated. Word and PDF - whatever works for you.

Finding the volume of cuboids, with a big selection of worksheets, from simple counting of cubes to working backwards from the volume to find other dimensions. Plus questions in the style of SATs and GCSE Foundation.

Multiple resources to look at, and learn, equivalent fractions, from KS2 to GCSE Foundation. Colourful presentations including ‘fraction chains’, lots of authentic types of questions, and lots of activities for colouring in fractions. Everything for a wide range of abilities, right up to KS4. Year 3 - recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators. Year 4 - recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions. Year 5 - compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number; identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually,. Year 6 - use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination; compare and order fractions.

Specs Year 4'Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and place value.' Year 5 'Read Roman numerals to 1000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals.' Thirty slides on an animated PowerPoint to introduce recognition of Roman numerals, and explore the advantage of Arabic numerals. Plus lots of activities/worksheets, including Emperors' reigns, Roman roads, Olympiads, Children's TV (years), and answers. All great fun, and could be cross-curricular.

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.
