Inspired by another similar resource found on TES, I’ve done one of my own. This one uses the rules on angles in parallel lines, different kinds of triangles and polygons, with parallel and equal lines indicated on the diagram. Starts off pretty straightforward but gets trickier towards the end. Second slide is animated with the solutions. A copy of the problem sheet is also provided in PDF form for ease of printing.

Powerpoint covering key points of this topic - including a Pythagoras and SOHCAHTOA recap, special angles, sine rule, cosine rule, area of a triangle, and which rule to use when. Can be used in lessons then printed out as a summary / revision aid for students at the end of the topic.

I’ve put this together to help trainee teachers hone their skills for the QTS Numeracy test, but it’s full of little tricks that will help in everyday life too, so it’s relevant to everyone really. Have uploaded both the editable PowerPoint file and a slideshow version suitable for upload to a VLE.

Animated PowerPoint taking the student through the construction of various loci: fixed distance from a point fixed distance from a line/rectangle equidistant from two points equidistant from a line … and finishing with a challenge inspired by the Diamond Heist resource that can be found at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/loci-diamond-heist-laser-challenge-6328947. Includes a set of printable slides at the end, so the students can construct the loci themselves. I also have a Constructions PowerPoint that you might find helpful if the students need some guidance for the bits that require them to use compasses: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/constructions-using-ruler-and-compasses-11521910

Resources for the often-overlooked topic of Rates of Flow are few and far between, so I made my own. It contains two scaffolded examples and a set of practice questions, with answers provided. Also included is a copy with the scaffolding filled in and full worked solutions provided for the practice questions.

A single-page handout introducing and summarising the three numerical integration techniques required for The Level 3 BTEC in Engineering (Unit 7: Calculus). May also be useful for other courses.

A worksheet that takes the student through most of the circle theorems they will need for GCSE. Includes opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral; angle in a semicircle; angles in the same segment; angles at centre vs at circumference; a tangents activity; and a few practice questions. Doesn't include alternate segment theorem though, nor intersecting chords theorem (on Edexcel IGCSE 2009 spec).

Worksheet of questions requiring the use of algebra skills to form and solve an equation relating to the area or perimeter of, or angles in, a triangle or quadrilateral. A couple of the later questions also require use of Pythagoras’ theorem. Answers on page 2, and full worked solutions also provided.

PowerPoint including triangle labelling conventions, SOHCAHTOA, exact trig values, bearings and angles of elevation/depression. A convenient set of key points that can be drip-fed to students as you progress through the topic, and printed (8 or 9 pages to a sheet works well) as a reference handout at end of topic.

A short animated PowerPoint showing the derivation of the Newton-Raphson formula and an illustrated example of its application.

A Christmas-themed problem for Year 10/11 (the last part of the extension task requires proportionality to have been covered). High-ability Y9s should also be able to have a bash at most of it.

Revision questions covering the whole of the Quadratics topic for both GCSE and A-level - a single A4 page for each. The GCSE version includes indications of the approximate grade level for each question. There’s a lot of overlap between the versions, hence only one set of solutions; these match the numbering on the GCSE version but there’s only one question on the A-level sheet that isn’t on the GCSE one, and solutions to that are included.

These are the course materials from my Preparing for A-level Maths course, covering the aspects of GCSE Maths that are expected prior knowledge for the A-level course. Also useful as a resource for home learning for Higher GCSE students, especially if lack of time means that some of the top-end topics will have to be glossed over in school. Lots of practice questions are built in. There are seven PowerPoints: Fractions, surds, indices and vectors Algebra Graphs Trigonometry 5-1) Handling data 5-2) Probability 5-3) Mechanics (includes some GCSE Physics/Science as well as Maths) … and accompanying supporting materials. I’m not allowed to inlcude external links here but these PowerPoints are the basis of the Flying Start to A-level Maths course on my Mathscourses site.
