Includes a worksheet that I think is really good (not blowing my own trumpet) and some random whiteboard questions, along with the usual stuff (example problem pair/questions/answers/learning check). Got some variation theory stuff in there, too. You should check out this resource by @edsouthall to use alongside this PowerPoint. It’s really good NOTE : I change my stuff every time I teach. I add new stuff and correct errors. But I don’t always have time to reupload them to TES. The latest version of the PowerPoint can always be found here.

An example problem pair A nice set of questions where students have to decide why two problems have been paired (a bit variation theory-esque) Lots of questions, including a big set of questions on moving between radius/diameter and circumference. Some whiteboard work A problem solving question I came up with A learning check NOTE : TES is annoying for keeping stuff up to date. I often change my powerPoints to add stuff and make them better, or simply to correct errors in maths and presentation. The latest version will always be found here.

Example problem pair Two activities Some application questions Learning check NOTE : I update my slides often but don’t always get around to reuploading them here. The latest version of this PowerPoint can always be found at this link.

Simple finding the hypotenuse worksheet, but I’ve made sure the triangles are rotated. There’s a few little tricks (1-3 are the same to emphasise rotation)

Inspiration from Mr Mattock (@mrmattock on twitter). Going from using diagrams to doing it without the diagram.

Just some practice questions on applying the Sine Rule

Trying to aim for a mastery/in depth lesson, rather than getting all the index laws done in one lesson. Huge credit to Jo Morgan (@mathsjem). Nicked a lot from her for this resource.

Tried to go through from simplifying right through to factorising to simplify. Lots of example/problem pairs Lots of work including some whiteboard work. A learning check. At least two lessons here. NOTE : I make lots of changes to my PowerPoints each time I reteach them, but reuploading them is a hassle. The latest version will always be here.

Loads of stuff here. Example problem pairs, exercises and other stuff. There’s also a ‘vary and twist’ worksheet here. Trying to use variation theory to draw out a bit of understanding. NOTE: My PowerPoints are updates often, but not always reuploaded to TES. The latest version of this PowerPoint can always be found here.

Worksheet and matching powerpoint covering -x^2 + bx + c in the form (x+a)^2 + b -a x^2 + bx + c in the form a(x+b)^2 + c Finding turning points Solving with completing the square 3 lessons worth of stuff

Worksheet. Interpreting/Representing data. A selection of misleading/confusing graphs culled from newspapers and online. Useful to talk about the difference between misleading and confusing/wrong.

Just the cosine rule. Finding the side Finding the angle Example problem pairs (see https://berwickmaths.com/ for an explanation of this) and some questions. Not much of putting it all together but a quick exercise in picking which rule to use. There is an exam question included, a hard one that involves using cosine and then basic trig to find an angle. I did this over two lessons. Finding the side was one lesson, finding the angle the next lesson

Lesson on measuring and constructing bearings. No calculations here, making that as a separate lesson. Covers compass points as well.

Quite an unweildy title. Some example problem pairs and quite a lot of discussion work. Maybe needs another ‘regular’ drill exercise, but there’s a million websites that will generate those for you

Just a quick little PowerPoint and worksheet. Finding percentage increase/decrease. There’s no multipliers here. I teach that as a separate lesson usually.

Designed to be used as a starter to get students to understand what a system of equations IS. Place in the Venn diagram pairs of coordinates that fit each section. Hopefully the pupils think it takes ages by trail and improvement. Then you say “Well, I have a method for solving these much more easily” You introduce the substitution or elimination method and they all look on, enraptured by the mathematical knowledge you’re imparting and the ‘short cut’ to doing these questions you’re showing them. No answers are provided as there is a infinite set of answers either side of the intersection.

Really simple little starter on something that I picked up on with my class : deciding when a result is two or when it is a half

As comprehensive as I could make it (without involving calculations) Rounding starter Upper/Lower Error intervals Discrete bounds Bounds with weird rounding Worksheet is a mirror of the questions on the PowerPoint 5 exercises with answers included

Some graphs Are they bad? Why are they bad? What could be improved? Updated 11/5/17

CHANGELOG 22/09/2021 - Corrected the second exercise Covers a few cases eg -Root 8 = 2 root 2 -2Root8 = 4Root2 -Simpifying with fractions and canceling a common term. A not huge. A starter. A little activity on what is a surd. A good amount of example/problem pairs. Two question sets. Some exam questions and five quick questions at the end. Included worksheet is merely a copy of what’s on the PowerPoint.
