I am now a retired teacher having taught for over 40 years in the UK at secondary level.
I wanted to share my love of Mathematics and teaching by providing a good set of resources which will more than cover all your needs for as many topics as I can and at good value for money.
I am trying to cover many topics from foundation level GCSE up to grade 9 at higher level in a way that is interesting and relevant.
I hope you like my style !

This is a massive pdf covering everything you will require on simultaneous equations.
Simultaneous Equationsconsists of over 80 pairs of simultaneous equations to be solved, starting with the most basic and increasing in difficulty throughout.
Q1 - starts with two equations that can simply be subtracted - 10 questions
then 16 questions where only one equation needs to be multiplied up - all answers in question one are whole numbers and none of them are negative.
Q2 - both equations need to be multiplied before subtracting, answers are all whole numbers and the first negative answers start to appear around part o)
Q3 - a mixture of questions using different letters, answers can be positive or negative and several have fractional answers though only very simple fractions/decimals are used.
Simultaneous Problems 31 questions covering everything needed on worded problems.

This PDF consists of six questions on reading bar charts.
Primarily its function was to enable me to discuss the different types of bar charts that they need to know about, and the type of questions that can come from bar charts.
I did not feel it necessary to ask several questions on each type as they are really straight forward.
I have covered compound and component bar charts as well as percentage bar charts.
Answers are included.

This pdf consists of 10 questions on Mean, Mode and Median of discrete with a small range - frequency tables are covered in a seperate worksheet.
The first question (with around 20 parts) is simply finding Mean, Mode and Median and I used this with year 7 and also used it to discuss RANGE.
The second set of questions I tended to do in Year 8 or 9 but can be used for revision with lower ability groups - these questions explore the pupils understanding of Mean.
Ideal for the introduction of Mean, Mode, Median and Range and also useful for a revision worksheet.
Answers are included.

3 fitting the distance time graphs to the situation.
5 velocity time graphs including curves drawn large enough for you to be able teach area under a graph from
1 really good question on fitting 9 situations to their velocity time graphs.
This PDF consists of 10 full sized exam style questions on Cumulative Frequency Diagrams.
Aimed at higher level GCSE, these questions cover both drawing and reading cumulative frequency diagrams.
I have included a couple of questions involving curves but I have not asked for curves to drawn as I haven’t seen that at GCSE for about 15 years - instead I have provided the curves where necessary.
Answers are included.

A short PDF consisting of 26 questions on the rules of Indices using Algebraic Expressions
Strictly for Higher level GCSE this has proven to be a tricky set of questions which stretches above grade 7
Answers are included
I wrote this for a foundation class that I had once - It covers everything that I wanted to emphasize at lower levels. I then found it very useful to use parts of it for Key stage 3 too
Question one is looking at the basic ideas of indices - I did this as a mental exercise and stressed the powers of zero and one.
Question two is a little more demanding and I often used this as a paired exercise and asked the students to check their answers on the calculators.
Question three looks at the powers of a half, a third and negative one - nothing harder.
Question four is all about the 3 rules of indices
In total there are nearly 80 questions so this could take a full lesson, or a homework - I hope you find it useful.
Homework sheets are included

This pdf consists of 10 questions involving integration of higher functions - not polynomials.
Students are required to integrate by substitution, parts, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms.
Applications are limited as the integration is the skill being tested, but applications include:
Integration as the reverse of differentiation,
Solving simple differential equations,
Areas.
I used to give this sheet as a revision sheet at the end of Integration in Y13 as each question requires a different method of integration as well as an application.
It proved to be a great sheet to talk through as well as practicing methods and techniques.
Answers are included as usual.
