Created by a Philosophy teacher and experienced formal debater in collaboration with his colleagues in the Maths department.
This PPT file contains 100 debates and discussion relevant to the study of mathematics and, especially, ‘The Philosophy of Mathematics’ (allowing teachers to bring P4C [philosophy for children] into the Maths classroom). The presentation is complete with exciting animated graphics to foster engagement!
The file contains a randomiser slide, allowing a random debate topic to be generated.
Each debate slide asks students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
Uses:
-Effortless planning of Maths lessons
-Instant cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Maths P4C (Philosophy for children) cross-curricular resource
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
-Form time activities
-Developing speaking and communication skills
-SMSC (deals with some moral and spiritual issues in relation to maths)
Topics are generally accessible to all ages, but the product is designed with KS3-5 in mind.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this product: if you are interested in other debate generating products I have also made similar products relating to Philosophy, Moral Dilemmas, and History.

I have compiled a 147-page printable textbook for AS Level Religious Studies (Islam) using the latest OCR specification. Ideally this file should be printed and bound on double-sided colour A4 paper as a booklet for students.
It is for the 'Developments in Islamic Thought' section of the course. It features:
-Full course notes (some written myself, some taken from a variety online sources)
-URLs to recommended texts where they are available.
-A personal learning checklist listing the topics students are required to know about
-Practice exam questions for every section and topic
-Learning activities
-Islamic art, pictures & infographics.
This was compiled so that a textbook would not be necessary: it is suitable for course-notes or as a revision guide.
It took me ages to compile this document, and I know that textbooks are very expensive: so I hope this will save you both time and that purchasing this download will be a no-brainer for any teacher covering Islam at AS Level. Positive reviews are greatly appreciated!
Please note. I have had a few requests for AS-Level materials on Islam, if this resource sells well I intend to produce a full course - so please spread the word!
I welcome further resource requests: godwin86@gmail.com :)
This bundle contains 20 lessons for the ‘Social Stratification’ section of the new GCSE Sociology specification. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.

It is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the social stratification section of the course.
Each lesson comes in a .Zip file which contains:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality, editable, PowerPoint Presentation
-Homework
[-Most of the lessons include a worksheet (double-sided A4 or A3)]
We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons and we believe these are the best GCSE Sociology resources money can buy, positive reviews are greatly appreciated (and rewarded, just email me).
Our intention is to have the other units of the new GCSE Sociology course available by June.
Feel free to contact us if you need additional resources creating: godwin86@gmail.com

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘Body Changes’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues.
The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities (in 8 different formats).
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
Choose from out complete selection of our ‘Philosophy Boxes’ PSHE lessons here.

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
