The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students.
With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

This short lesson I use with KS2/KS3 students when looking at converting Fractions into Percentages or Decimals into Percentages.
The lesson is accompanied with a Worksheet for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
It demonstrates the style I use in class which is to work through examples in class with students pitching in ideas of how to answer the question along the way. Followed by the student then tackling questions on their own.
My shop is full of lessons like this (however longer than this lesson). Hence a bought lesson will give you plenty of worked examples as board work with a worksheet to conclude, lasting the student beyond your lesson. The shop is https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/sjcooper
The set contains a worked set of examples in a PowerPoint. There is also a printable set of the examples which might be used in class where students copy the worked solutions as and when delivered by the teacher.
The Powerpoint is then followed by a small workbook of seven questions which can easily by sent as an A5 booklet to most printers.
The lesson should last up to 1 hour dependent on where you have the students copy out the examples in their entirety or print the prepopulated examples.
Resource with fractions, proportion and percentages. Resource includes worked examples followed by questions, also includes answers. The lesson also includes a worksheet which students could use in class or complete as a piece of homework. This resource should last a full hours lesson or more.
This resource is also very useful for students that struggle answering questions involving both fractions and percentages or fractions and ratio in the same question.
The Grade 1 & 2 Tests are based on the type of questions that tend to appear at the beginning of examination papers at GCSE. You may disagree with my positioning of such topics, but I have created Tests papers for what I consider to be the other grades as well.
The Grade 3 & 4 Tests are based on topics tested since 2017 and again you might think that one or two topics should be in the grade higher or lower.
The aim of these tests is to first identify which topics are causing concern before fixing the issue and further tests are available to see if improvements have been made.

Introduction lessons to fractions of a quantity ideal for Key stage 2 or key stage 3 children.
The first lesson looks at one half, one third, etc... of a quantity followed by one or two worksheets if required.
The second lesson then looks at slightly more complicated fractions of a quantity. Again with worksheets to accompany the lesson.
This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for percentage questions.
The spreadsheet will also provide the answers.
Once the sheet is generated print the sheet and print the answers.
Then change the worksheet number to 2 or 3, extra and watch a completely new worksheet get generated.
Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.
This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for either linear sequences or quadratic sequences.
The spreadsheet will also provide the answers.
Once the sheet is generated print the sheet. The cover the answers and send the font to white (this hides the answers) print this sheet.
Repeat for newly generated worksheets.
Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.
This lesson is a follow on from the lessons involving drawing the quadratic curve.
The lesson consists of a couple of worked examples on drawing standard curves, followed by information about some standard graphs and their shape.
The lesson also has an worksheet for students to tackle in class or as a piece of homework.
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!
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 bundle consists of all lessons I use to teach work related to ratio and proportion through years 7 to 11. The revision material tends to be used in year 11 or even year 10.
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 lesson has been used over the years as an introduction to factorising initially the basic trinomials before looking at the more complicated trinomials.
The lesson also consists of a worksheet with solutions for students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework.
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.

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.
Give your classroom a festive look this December. The two advent calendars are designed to be displayed around the classroom in the run up to the Christmas holiday, or as set pieces of work each day.
Students can search the classroom walls for the question of the day and answer the question on their sheet. Ideal as a starter or a good conclusion to the lesson.
Questions range from Algebra, number work, fractions, decimals, ratio and much more.
There are two calendars which can be mixed and matched as you require.
Excellent resource to include a little bit of festive fun and revision.
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.
