Here are two revision lessons I have used throughout the year with foundation students. The lessons consist of worked examples followed by questions for the students to answer. The PowerPoint is broken down so that any foundation student can access the material.

This lesson is aimed at introducing students to the three formula involving Distance, Speed and Time. There are plenty of worked examples and a worksheet to accompany the lesson.

This revision lesson I put together based on material I found most year 11 foundation students were struggling with. The revision mainly focuses on the students ability to apply the four rules of number to some literacy based question. The second revision lesson I have added is on number machines as I found that students were fine with using the number machine one way but poor on reverse. Hence practice makes perfect!

Here is a small group of revision lessons I have recently used for my year 11 students. These have been written with them in mind and cover the types of questions they were struggling with. Generally I tend to go through one or two at the board before they attempt the others. Revision lessons included are Probability tree diagrams Distance speed time Ingredient questions Flow diagrams and some general “wordy” questions that can be troubling for many students.

With factorising and removing brackets of cubics being new to the GCSE specifications last year I have introduced these two lesson to my class teaching. Starting with removal of brackets students are able to extend from the two brackets situation to the three brackets. The following lesson looks at the more complicated factorising a cubic. Initially starting with the first factor given style of question before looking at factorising with no hint given. Worksheets are given for both lessons which could be used in class or as a piece of homework.

Make the run up to Christmas a little more fun with these TWO activities in one resource. Activity 1 includes 10 Christmas themed questions for the whole class to answer. Activity 2 includes a Christmas themed work sheet, for students to answer indivually. The questions are aimed at GCSE level and are an excellent, but fun revision sessions. Questions include number, fraction, ratio and algebra. Answers are included for both activities.

This lesson and selection of worksheets helps with the teaching of frequency polygons.

This activities are aimed at key stage 3 students but could be used as revision for students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

This bundle of work consists of three lessons with worksheets. Lesson one : Collection of like terms. This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to collect like terms when simplifying a series of terms. Lesson two : Simplifying expressions This lesson and two worksheets looks at multiplying terms together where algebra is involved. (At the same time revising the knowledge of - x - or - x +, etc) Lesson three : Substitution into formulae This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to substitute numerical values into simple algebraic expressions Two worksheets have been given per lesson so that if the class has an issue with the first worksheet, then a review of the work can take place with the follow up worksheet used to demonstrate improvement. These lessons are suitable as an introduction to Algebra or for the younger students who have little knowledge in Algebra.

These activities are aimed at key stage 3 students. They could also be used as revision for GCSE students. The pack contains GCSE foundation style questions including standard form, ratio, number work, fractions, algebra and much more. Answers are included. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table Put students into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) Each are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed each set of questions. The exercise should take no longer than 30 minutes At the end students remain at their final table and swap answer sheets with the nearest table. Go through each question with the class before revealing the answers. Finally, students ad up their score and the highest score gets a prize! This exercise gives students a chance to try GCSE style foundation questions and see a demonstration on how they should be answered.

This lesson follows lessons on the circle theorems involving angles from the same arc, angle at the centre and angles in a semicircle. The lesson has a series of worked examples followed by a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.

These lessons included in this resource revise Pythagoras Theorem, the knowledge of Right Angled Trigonometry, the knowledge of the sine rule cosine rule and 3D trigonometry. Accompanied with the lessons are worksheets for students to attempt in class or as homework. Plenty of revision for all types of students Foundation or Higher Tier.

This revision lesson looks at error bounds at the higher level. Through worked examples and questions for the students to answer, students are able to recap this topic before their official examination.

This series of work is designed to revise inequalities with both Foundation and higher level students looking at solving the simplest of inequalities up to the more complicated quadratic inequalities. The PowerPoint is backed up with worksheets and I have included the worksheet Generator. (simply hit F9 on the computer and new worksheets are generated)

These revision cards are designed for both higher level and foundation level for KS4 GCSE mathematics grades 9 to 1. Each card has a topic explanation and a QR code which takes the students to a video related to that topic. Ideal for any student revising for Mathematics at home or in the classroom. Personally I have each slide printed and on the wall as a group of four. additionally I have printed them out and cut them into individual cards placed in an envelope for students to use at home whilst revising.

Due to COVID the way we teach has altered somewhat. These days I find it easier to have my examples preprinted with students filling in the gaps between examples in class with the aid of the teacher at the front. A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Furthermore at home students can access a video example or two with the QR code on the front of the workbook (just in case they are struggling at home) Answers are provided and also answers to the examples

This set of exercises can either be used as a starter during the last two weeks of term or all together as a lesson piece. Designed with a Christmas feel, the task involves students either creating mathematical equations or using the process of elimination to find the numerical values attached to each of the Christmas pictures presented. The material is useful for either KS2 or KS3 students, however GCSE foundation students would also have fun with this material.

These GCSE Mathematics revision booklets are aimed at KS4 students who are independently revising for their GCSE. The front cover of each booklet can be scanned with a phone which will then upload a video to be watched. The student is then in a better position to attempt the material inside each booklet. Topics included are 3d Trig & pythagoras Algebraic Fractions Angles in a polygon Arc Length & Area of a sector Area under a curve Best Buys Calculating the mean Change of subject Circle theorems Completing the square Composite & Inverse functions Compound measures Cubics Cumultative frequency Density Mass Volume Direct & Inverse proportion Drawing graphs Equation of a line Error bounds Expanding & Factorising quadratics Forming equations Fractions HCF, LCM & Prime factors Histograms Inequalities Iterative formula Indices Perpendicular lines & Tangents Probability tree Quadratic sequences, formula & inequalities Ratio Recurring decimals Reverse percentages Trigonometry Simultaneous equations linear & quadratic Standard form Surds Transformations Volume
