Aimed at lower ability students or students seeing factorising for the first time. There is a lesson for the students and then a 'post it note' activity for students to complete. This can be done in a variety of different ways, but I but the post it notes in essential, excel and challenge piles and then students can come and collect the questions as they need them. They fill in the answer grid with the level of challenge and question number. Answers are also provided. There is a singing plenary to finish with and this is where students answer the questions on their mini whiteboards and when they get it right, it plays part of Glee for them.

Differentiated histograms lesson. Essential questions where students are to find the frequency density, excel questions where students find the frequency density and draw the histogram. Challenge questions where the students have to work backwards to find missing frequencies. The students have handouts that they can use to stick in their books instead of drawing it out themselves. There is a plenary question that is an exam question. There are also success criteria for the lesson so that students understand where they need to get in the journey of the lesson.

This resource is good for a range of different ability of students. The lesson goes through how to complete a variety of solving equations and then there is a differentiated slide for the students to complete. Green questions are the easiest, orange are the middle, red are the challenge and the purple are the super challenge. The answers are also available. There is a singing plenary activity also. The singing plenary is done by students on their whiteboards and then if they get the correct answer, then it plays part of glee for them.

This lesson is aimed at lower ability students or students that have not done rounding before. There is a complete lesson, with a main activity. The best way to do the main activity, is to cut the 'post if notes' and either stick them in groups (essential questions together, excel questions together etc) around the room, or put them in piles around the room. Students then get an answer grid that they fill in when they pick up a question and answer it. Students need to check what question number they are answering and which level of challenge to make sure they answer in the correct box. There is a tip sheet that can be printed and again put around the room for students wanting to complete to 1sf. Answers are provided and students can write a strength and target following on from that. There is a singing plenary to finish with. This is where students are asked a question, they are to answer it on their mini whiteboards, if they get the answer correct, part of family guy will play.

This resource is aimed at lower ability students or students seeing expanding double brackets for the first time. There are essential and excel stickers that can be made to give to the students. The main activity is a match up activity that works really well if printed on different coloured card (essential-green, excel-orange, challenge- red and the answers in blue). Students can then match up the answers and the observer or the teacher can easily see who is on which level. The blue answers have a one mark answer (not simplified) and a two mark answer (simplified) to again differentiate between the students. The answers are also attached. The plenary is a singing plenary (frozen), the students use their mini whiteboards to give answers, if the answers are correct, then part of frozen will play to them.

There is a starter activity recapping some of the basic angle rules with two challenge questions (answers also provided). Then students go onto the main part of the lesson and revise the circle theorems by filling in the circle theorems help sheet (answers also provided). Students then complete the worksheet looking at all the different cycle theorems. There is a singing plenary for the last part of the lesson. A singing plenary is students get to pick the correct answer, if it is correct, it will play part of family guy for them.

Differentiated worksheet with 3 levels of challenge for students to complete. And a singing plenary to finish with.

Differentiated worksheet on parallel lines looking at Z, F, opposite and a mixture of angles with a plenary activity of family guys. Hint sheet also provided for students who are struggling.

Whole lesson on changing large and small numbers into standard form. The challenge is to change out of standard form. The match up activity works best when the essential questions are coloured in green, excel in orange and challenge in red. Answers are to be in blue. Students to then match up the questions with the answers.

I have found that students struggle to know the difference between pythagoras and trig. So this lesson is designed to help students know the difference. There are four levels of challenge. Green- just pythagoras, orange- trig, red- pythagoras and trig and purple- combining the two. Students really find this lesson helpful to knowing when to use which.

The notebook file is the lesson, So through this with the students and get them to complete ones on their mini whiteboards. Then students to complete the GCSE questions. This is differentiated as students can start working on any level of questions. It is best printed as a booklet for students to complete. Then the plenary activity recaps what should have been learnt in lessons. Personally, I get students to complete this by themselves in silence to show themselves what they have achieved within the lesson.

There is a Brain in Gear activity which helps students with the factorising quadratics. Then a differentiated starter activity expanding and factorising expressions. Then the lesson walks through how to factorise quadratics with challenge questions and what it will look like for students in their exams. The essential is to factorise positive quadratics and excel is to factorise any, challenge to be able to solve. There is a slide that explains how to do this for students when they are completing the differentiated match up activity. There are three levels so I print them on green, orange and red card with the answers in blue so that the observer and yourself can see which level students are doing. The plenary activity looks at the 3 levels of challenge and students have to answer with their mini whiteboards.
