A lesson I have put together for a mid ability Y9 class on Sequences / Nth Term. This lesson explores sequences in general and aims to deepen pupils understanding of a sequence. There is some practice on generating terms in a sequence, finding the nth term of different sequences and problem solving. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I planned on 3D Pythagoras with some Trig extention tasks for a high ability KS4 class. The worksheet I made to go alongside this lesson is also attached. The lesson is centred around developing problem skills and applying pythagoras theorem in a 3D context. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have adapted from other TES users over the years. This lesson begins with a problem and an interactive GIF to demonstrate Pythagoras theorem visually. There are some superb activities here and problems to make students think carefully about applying Pythagoras theorem in different contexts. It is up to you to explore and deepen pupils understanding! A worksheet that I also made which increases steadily in difficulty is attached. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have adapted from other TES users on Capture Recapture. Includes video with information about where the method came from - applied to London black cabs. I would recommend using Edexcel topic based questions to go with this lesson. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have planned on prime factor decomposition. There is a bingo activity on HCF / LCM and a nice exploration around applications of HCF / LCM. Leads to use of Venn Diagrams. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have adapted from DrFrost and other TES users on Measures. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A lesson I planned for an observation around forming and solving equations. This lesson is designed to deepen students thinking of equations and their applications. There is a fun code breaker activity too. Please use, share and let me know what you think.

A quiz I have put together around the Blue Planet 2 episode on Coasts aired on 03/12/2017. Please use and let me know what you think.

A sequence of lessons on Expanding Triple brackets designed for a high ability KS4 group. Prior knowledge of Expanding Double Brackets is required but is covered quickly as part of the starter. The structure of expanding triple brackets is clearly shown and the idea of using Pascals Triangle is introduced (this is not in the GCSE spec but is useful for a top set). Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think.

A lesson I taught for an observation on Factorising Quadratics to a middle ability Year 9 group. This lesson is suitable for groups from Y8 - Y11 depending on ability. Prior knowledge of factorisation with single brackets would be helpful. I have also uploaded the lesson plan for this observation / lesson. Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think. I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).

A sequence of lessons on Factorising Trinomials (Quadratics with a co-efficient of x sqd) designed for a high ability KS3 or KS4 group. Prior knowledge of Factorising Quadratics is required - a lesson on this can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-ks4-factorising-quadratics-whole-lesson-with-homework-11772896 The structure of factorisation is clearly shown and starter activities are used to highlight key topics covered over the previous weeks. Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think. I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).

A sequence of lessons on Simultaneous Equations where 1 is a quadratic designed for a high ability KS4 group. Prior knowledge of Factorising Trinomials is required - a lesson on this can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks4-factorising-trinomials-quadratics-with-a-coefficient-of-x-sqd-lesson-11772891 The structure of solving a Simultaneous Equation is clearly shown and starter activities are used to highlight key topics covered over the previous weeks. Lots of questions are given on the board so pupils work independently and share ideas with class during a group discussion. Please use and let me know what you think. I do not claim to own all of the resources published here - some are questions that have been adapted by other TES users (please contact me if you would like credit / removing).

A lesson that I put together on simplifying wonderful Surds! There is also an activity involving expanding brackets where pupil needs to use their knowledge of algebraic manipulation and simplification of Surds. Applications to problems involving shapes too. Please use and let me know what you think.

Whilst reading the Economist I saw a Venn Diagram which illustrated the 4 main political parties policies and so I created a version where the pupils can discuss which policies relate to which political party. I found it useful in Tutor Time to start a discuss around the General Election and it can also be used as an introduction to Venn Diagrams (real life context).

A worksheet designed a piece of homework to follow on from a series of lessons which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/simultaneous-equations-lesson-ks4-6398581 Please use and let me know what you think.

A lesson I have created on Speed, Distance & Time using Formula 1 data from the start of the 2016 season. Pupils are guided through the SDT triangle and then given the activity alongside information on the PPT - they need to use this to fill in the missing values. Please use and let me know what you think.

A set of scaffolded worksheets on cumulative frequency and box plots. They link with the mathswatch clips 151 and 152.

A series of lessons introducing Vectors and the notation surrounding this. The aim of the lessons is to deepen students thinking about Vectors introduce the ideas around parallel and perpendicular vectors and finding resultants. There is some Vectors with Geometry questions at the end which are not very difficult. Pupils would need to go on and attempt exam style questions are this series of lessons. Please use and let me know what you think.

A series of lessons on using trigonometry in right angled triangles to solve problems. Lesson was originally designed for a top set year 9 class so goes from very basic through to more difficult problems involving application of the rules. There are many activities included at the start / throughout / end of the powerpoint to be used when appropriate. These lessons are combination of my own / adapted from other TES users / worksheets. If you would like me to remove anything please let me know.

A lesson adapted from 'whidds' - another TES user on using the SINE and COSINE rule in non right angled triangles. You can find the original here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/sine-rule-grade-a-lesson-6398103 Please use and let me know what you think.
