I couldn’t find an introductory Pythagoras activity where students have to label the hypotenuse that included non-right angled triangles, so I made one. Either for students to complete themselves (perhaps a bit quick for that!) or an activity on the board. The main point I want to make here is that only right angled triangles have a hypotenuse, and we need to see the right angle labelled to know a triangle is right angled.

A basic worksheet on plotting graphs to find intersections. I adapted the linear sheet from another author to add tables of values as my students needed this scaffolding. I also made a short worksheet with two basic quadratic graphs to plot as all the other resources I found on this had trickier quadratics. These sheets are relatively short so I used both in a single lesson. I have included editable versions so teachers can adapt as necessary.

This is a Pret homework for angles in polygons. In Pret homeworks, pupils practise, recall, extend and think. These homeworks are typically followed in class with spelling or memory tests and discussions about research findings. For an editable version of this homework and Pret homeworks for many more topics, see http://prethomework.weebly.com/.

Just a selection of GCSE Ratio questions, collated from legacy AQA Linked Pair papers. Answers included.

This is a Pret homework for the quadratic formula. In Pret homeworks, pupils practise, recall, extend and think. These homeworks are typically followed in class with spelling or memory tests and discussions about research findings.

Three activities to deepen understanding of decimal place value. Partly based on tasks in Heylings books from the 1980s.

A set of 25 posters for a maths classroom highlighting key words that are commonly misspelt. Two different versions are available.

Designed for Higher Tier students working at a low Grade 4, this is a skills-based mini-assessment used to diagnose gaps at the start of an intervention. Needs 15 - 20 minutes. Images borrowed from Maths Genie and Corbett Maths, with thanks.
