Murder-mystery resource with 4 clues and suspect list included. Answers now also included. This resource is easy to use for remote learning as everything is included in one word document. Clues involve solving simple linear equations, finding missing terms of sequences, answering questions about number of sides of shapes and prime and square numbers and using a co-ordinates grid. Designed to be used as a retrieval task and is suitable for all key stage 3, depending on ability.

Full lesson on relating ratio to linear functions with worksheet and self/ peer assessment grids included. Brought in for the new AQA GCSE spec, it includes a model solution to a past AQA exam question but resource is also suitable for high ability year 9. Uses bar modelling to teach for understanding. Linked to sketching graph of linear functions for added challenge.

Whole lesson to introduce solving simultaneous equations (by bar model, moving onto just algebraic methods). Created for middle ability GCSE class who responded very well. Designed to be taught to students who have an understanding of solving basic linear equations. Step-by-step to explain process using bar model and algebra. Examples and a few questions for students to try.

Complete lesson including examples, independent questions and answers. Builds on previous lessons that include substituting values into a table to produce a linear equation graphically. Includes step-by-step guidance about how to solve linear equations graphically. Designed for use with KS3 but could be suitable for some KS4.

Murder mystery resource, ideal for remote learning, includes clues and suspect list. Answers now also included. Designed for upper KS3 or KS4 as a retrieval activity. Clues include working with numbers in standard form, factorising quadratic expressions, fractions, decimals and percentages and general geometry questions.

Mastery-style full lesson on area and perimeter, including activities to encourage investigation (including hints and challenges to suit different abilities) and intelligently varied mini-whiteboard questions to progress understanding. Aimed at KS2 or KS3, designed to be taught as first lessons in area and perimeter topic. Worksheets referred to are not included as not owned by myself.

Full lesson and mastery-style worksheet with answers included.Powerpoint includes bar modelling to represent simplifying and dividing into a ratio. Intended to be taught as an introduction to the ratio and proportion topic for KS3.

Mastery-style worksheet aimed at simplifying expressions using algebra tiles. Ideal to introduce students to using algebra tiles. Questions are intelligently varied, getting progressively more difficult and include a ‘challenge’ section where answers are then substituted into more complex questions. Images of algebra tiles are shown so no need to have the physical manipulatives to hand. Designed for upper KS2 and KS3 with little knowledge of algebra.

Full lesson including worksheet. Aimed at middle ability year 7.

Full lesson and worksheet (including answers). Aimed at middle ability year 7.

Full lesson and worksheet included. Intended to be taught following angles in triangles and quadrilaterals. Aimed at high ability year 7 or year 8 but also suitable for GCSE.

Whole lesson on multiplying fractions with emphasis on understanding rather than just process, through diagnostic-style questions to highlight misconceptions. Aimed at medium-high ability KS3 class, having already covered fractions basics and adding/subtracting fractions. Intelligent practice- style worksheet included with answers as improper fractions and mixed numbers where appropriate.

Whole lesson in mastery-style including examples and intelligently varied questions to cover factorising quadratic expressions. Lesson was created for Year 9 but is suitable for KS4 too. This lesson was taught following expanding double brackets and basic algebraic manipulation.

Complete lesson to cover completing the square and solving quadratic equations by completing the square. The lesson is designed to be used with algebra tiles but the pictures shown on the screen mean that the tiles are not essential. I used this lesson with a Year 10 class following a higher GCSE scheme of work but it is suitable for higher ability KS3 too.

Complete lesson covering box plots. Designed for Year 9 but suitable for all of KS3 and KS4. This lesson covers everything about box plots, including drawing them from data, drawing from cumulative frequency curves and comparing box plots. All questions included are past exam questions.

Complete mastery-style lesson including visual representations and intelligently varied question set. Lesson covers solving linear equations with variable on both sides. Designed for KS3 but also useful for some KS4 classes. Promotes understanding of the process of solving linear equations.

Full mastery lesson on recognising and continuing non-linear sequences. Recaps the difference between linear and nonlinear sequences and then covers geometric and ‘special’ nonlinear sequences, including square numbers and Fibonacci sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet and many challenge questions throughout lesson to stretch most able. Lesson is accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes. Plenary is quiz activity to engage students.

Full mastery lesson about finding missing terms in linear sequences. Focuses on using the constant difference of linear sequences to find one missing term and leads on to finding two consecutive missing terms in a sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet which gets progressively more difficult to stretch all students. Powerpoint includes many challenge questions to stretch most able and hints to support less able learners, making it accessible for most abilities across late KS2 and early KS3. Includes ‘quiz, quiz, trade’ activity to review all sequences work as this was taught as the last lesson in a topic.

Full mastery lesson on representing sequences, focusing on students’ ability to recognise and represent the same sequence in number, diagram, tabular and graphical form. Includes intelligently varied worksheets, as well as sheets of images from the powerpoint helpful for students to go through as examples. Planned for a mixed ability class, this resource includes challenge questions to stretch the most able and hints to scaffold for less able students, which also makes it accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes.

Full mastery lesson on recognising and continuing linear sequences. Focus on recognising the constant difference of linear sequences, from number sequences, diagrams etc and leads on to using the constant difference to continue linear sequences. Includes several intelligently varied worksheets as well as regular challenge questions and hints, making this resource accessible to late KS2 and early KS3 and accessible to most abilities.
