This PDF is 31 questions in total covering all that you will need for percentages increases and decreases at GCSE. Questions include, finding the value after an increase has been applied - including compound interest, and also finding the percentage change. The last few questions are for the more able at KS4 Answers are included Your feedback would be appreciated - particularly if you like my work. - Thank You

This PDF has over 20 questions on the Remainder Theorem and the Factor theorem - a topic usually extensively covered in most good text books, however I always wanted more questions of the ‘harder’ type - repeated factors or (ax - b) as a factor and, of course, applications and links with other topics and so I wrote these questions. There is something for everyone in this set of questions - even some that will stretch your top grade students. Answers are included as usual. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

I had fun with this one !!! About 60 questions in total !!! Question 1 consists of 26 parts each being a straight forward conversion of metric units. Question 2 has 10 parts all with the emphasis on the prefix - how many watts in a Kw etc - I always found this to be really useful Q3 - 24 are all worded problem involving the conversion of units. This is an excellent worksheet which can be used for Y6/7 all the way up to revising GCSE - a great set of questions. Answers are included Please give feedback as it helps me provide the best service that I can - thank you

This is a great worksheet full of interesting numbers that pupils put into and take out of Standard Form - Over 40 questions in total This sheet is aimed at introducing Standard Form at KS3. All numbers have been verified and are accurate and answers are provided. The sheet is provided in two formats - ‘all on one sheet’ and ’ plenty of space and larger font on two sheets’ Answers are provided Please provide feedback if you like this work - thank you.

This PDF is one page and six questions in total. This is my introduction to sets at KS3 - no Venn diagrams, just looking at the basic idea of what a set is and how we combine them. Simply looking at the idea of sets, the elements in sets and the idea of Intersection, Union and compliment. Answers are provided. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

This is a PDF of 2 pages with 10 questions which cover both reading from a Venn diagram and drawing Venn diagrams but limited to just two sets. I have kept it relevant and interesting so that pupils will relate to it more. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

This pdf consists of 26 difficult questions aimed solely at grade 8 & 9 students. Each question has been checked to ensure that it will eventually factorise but they do require algebraic manipulation. An excellent resource for differentiation and revision. Answers are included Please leave feedback, especially if you like my work - thank you.

This was a starter activity for Year 7 originally but I ended up using it for many KS3 class. You are provided with a ‘Blockbuster’ board and 6 double digit numbers. Each cell on the board can be won by finding the two numbers that add or subtract to give the number contained within that cell. One player/team is trying to create a path from top to bottom while the other player/team are attempting to create a path from right to left. The winner is the player/team to complete their path (a draw is impossible). Start with the toss of a coin and then teams take alternating goes - spice it up by adding a timer ! You receive: Instructions + 6 game boards + 1 game board which is offered free separately. This is a great ‘fun’ activity which pupils have all loved - a great Christmas lesson too Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

This is a starter I wanted to use with higher level GCSE students. 32 questions using a mix of zero, negative and fractional indices. The powerpoint is not locked so that slides may be re-ordered, deleted or added to. This is an big and colourful starter but is also very challenging in places. Questions include : 4 to the power of negative one half 16 to the power of negative three over two 1000 to the power of two thirds etc. Some of the questions are quite demanding !!!

This is a PDF of over 60 questions on solving Linear equations with fractions. Aimed at higher level students these questions have equations with more than one fraction with different denominators in them. Answers are provided. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

Over 60 questions on identifying transformations. This is a PDF of 5 large questions where shapes have been transformed using a variety of different transformations - can you identify each transformation fully. I used these with top sets in years 9 - 11 and again with revision classes. Finding the centre of rotation is sometimes difficult so I kept these for more able groups. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

This started out as a quiz or lesson starter but I developed it on into something much more useful. There are two questions, each has 26 parts covering everything that a foundation level student needs to know about straight line graphs and their equations. Most students enjoy the short question which are not too demanding but I’ve tried to bring out a salient point with as many questions as I could. In total there are 52 questions which can be used as a starter, homework exercise or a revision exercise. ****Answers are included. I hope you find them useful.

This is a PDF of two pages and nine questions covering more complex questions on Venn diagrams, largely limited to two set Venn diagrams (though one question is on three sets). These questions take the information given and ask pupils to put them into a Venn diagram and hence answers questions. I have included probability and also conditional probability as it is now appearing on GCSE papers. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

This is a PDF consisting of 26 questions on quadratic inequalities questions get progressively harder and include: simple cases factorisable quadratics the difference of two squares a = -1 a >1 a challenge for any grade 7+ student. Answers are included

The Area Of Any Triangle is a great worksheet for practicing Sine and Cosine rule and the formula Area = 0.5abSin©. It is aimed at grade 7 - 9 students. There are four different types of questions. Simple - given two sides and the included angle, use the formula to find the area. Given the area, find a side or an angle. Harder - decide which angle you need to be able to find the area and then use the Sine rule or Cosine rule to find it first. Applications - finding the area and then using the area to find the shortest distance from one vertex to the opposite side. Recently added - An extra page with some level 9 questions involving surds and the are of a parallelogram - a couple of nice questions I found which you may find useful. Answers are included Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

This is a very thorough worksheet covering everything that you might need to add or subtract in standard form. Well over 50 questions from the basic to the more demanding questions. Answers are included

This is a set of questions which mixes the three forms of factorisation. Aimed at GCSE top level students - stretching the more able, this worksheet is not for your average Higher level students. I use this as a source of questions and occasionally a classwork for the best classes. The PDF consists of two questions each with 26 parts. Question 1 starts with a mixture of common factors, quadratics and the difference of two squares and then gets progressively harder - take out common factors followed by quadratics etc. Question 2 consists of 26 fractions where the numerator and the denominator will factorise by some method and then cancel down. It took a while to write this one so I hope it is of use to people. Answers are included

Segment Area Aimed at higher level GCSE this is a pdf worksheet with answers which covers the basic question up to and including the more demanding questions of finding the area of a major segment. This worksheet is a good lessons work and probably some left over for homework. An extension can be found on the worksheet called, Sectors and arc length. Answers are included Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you
