Changelog: 2 new sections. Changed some answers to address more misconceptions. Completely redone version of maths pointless. The countdown is now much, much quicker (as requested). New questions will also be coming in an update over the following weeks. Play over numerous rounds and keep score on the board. All credit to Paul Collins.

ppt on collecting like terms. Includes: Discussion on what a like term is Some basic questions Questions about algebraic perimeter Questions on algebra pyramids A problem solving task involving an algebraic magic square Two learning checks.

Big focus on correct language, including a little task that asks students to say if something is an expression, a formula, an equation or an identity. Lots of practice, worded questions etc. Recommend mini-whiteboards for this (and all) lessons. NOTE: I change my PowerPoints often, but don’t always get around to uploading the latest version here. The latest version of this file can always be found at this link.

A few pie charts that represent funny ideas or jokes. The idea is that students get a feel for how pie charts work. I used it as a Y7 starter to generate discussion. The 'how often charts don't make sense' pie chart is particularly good for this. As always, please rate and comment with suggests and ideas. Thanks :)

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.

Colour in the boxes to make a little picture. Includes lots of misconceptions, lots of negatives and some fractional practice.

Here’s a maths-themed Christmas quiz for you to use with your classes. Should take one hour.

Example problem pairs Some questions Also some questions and examples on if a number is in a sequence.

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

Lots of whiteboard work. Example problem pair Exercise with answers I’m pretty proud of the questions in this one.

Converting between hours and minutes and decimal form. For instance 2 hours 30 minutes and 2.5 hours. Useful intro before tackling speed distance time. Also included is problems like ‘write 99 minutes in hours and minutes’

Goes from listing outcomes (there’s a good maths4everyone resource for further practice on this) to using sample space diagrams.

Made these as a way of drilling into my students useful facts that they should commit to memory (ie 1/5 = 0.2). Made to be used like old spelling tests. Give out the facts. Students use memory techniques like covering up etc to remember them, Then they can be given a follow up test (included) to see how much they’ve remembered.

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.

Finding the range from a list and frequency table.

Finding missing terms in arithmetic sequences. Starts with next term. Moving onto missing terms.

Two lessons at least here. Simple sine rule questions and more difficult ‘using the sine rule’ as well as the ambiguous case. Includes a worksheet, some whoteboard work, an exam question, some example problem pairs, a section on doing some timed questions.

Example problem pairs converting between the FDP. A few exercises as practice. Some questions on adding/subtracting numbers written as a mix of FDP.

Massively based on @Dooranran 's stuff. Speed distance time Nets Areas of circles/volumes of spheres Symmetry Pie charts Equations of lines Proportion Reading graphs Misleading graphs.
