Having read Ian Stewart's book of the same name, I decided to make A4 sized posters summarising each of the equations. They're nice to have up on the walls when kids say 'What's the point of Algebra?' If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Powerpoint to be used to explain how to use Trigonometry in 3D shapes. Includes a starter, main explanation and a plenary. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

A while ago I uploaded a set of resources on calculating the areas of shapes on flags, see here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/areas-of-flags-6327719 A number of people messaged me asking if I had one for circles - and here is is now! I had to get creative with finding flags I could use, and I’d recommend that you have already had a lesson on Area and Circumference before this, as the questions get very challenging! Thank you to @1hannahjones for making a number of corrections and clarifications!

This resource has been made to go with the IGCSE course but should be fine for others. Pupils see how to add Algebraic fractions, as well as deal with some equations with fractions in. There are quite a few topics which need covering before this lesson! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES! :)

Pupils learn to solve equations where the unknown is in the 'power', by changing the base so the powers can be compared (ie - logarithms not needed). The powerpoint has been made to go with the Cambridge IGCSE course but could easily be adapted. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Pupils are shown how to plot Quadratic graphs including both positive and negative x-squared coefficients. Has a few examples of where they may be used to model motion. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!

Students see how geometric sequences can be used to calculate distances on a guitar fretboard. There are several questions to discuss, and a lot of nice uses of formulae. Should also give them a nice practical example that isn't of the type often found in textbooks! If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on TES (all free of course!)

This game is good for end of term lessons. You split the class into teams (3-4 works best). You roll 3 dice for each team and they have to use the numbers however they want (including as indices or factorials) to make numbers from 1-64. Points are awarded as explained in the powerpoint. It works best if you roll the dice for all teams to start with and roll after their go, that way they can think about what number to make while you go round the other teams. It might take a bit of practice to get then hang of this but pretty much every class I've played it with loves it!

In this lesson, students learn what iteration is and see an example of how it was used to calculate square roots of non-square numbers. There is an explanation of the notation involved and students get to try the process out for themselves. Could be used as an introduction to the topic.

Pupils have to answer several true or false statements relating to whether multiples can be made using numbers in a list (have a look at the worksheet and you'll get the idea!) They then have to try and come up with clear explanations as to why the statements are true or false, and there is the opportunity to use algebra. Can be extended into longer lists and multiples of larger numbers. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

This set of 8 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Statistics and Mechanics Year 2/A2 textbook, and have largely been adapted from my previous S1 and M1 resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom.

This set of 14 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Pure Mathematics Year 1/AS textbook, and have largely been adapted from my previous Core 1 and Core 2 resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom.

These 3 lessons are aimed at higher ability pupils who have covered linear sequences before, and need a quick recap but then an extension into harder work. Lesson 1 - Generating much more complicated sequences and finding patterns in the differences. Lesson 2 - Using the patterns they found to work out the nth term of quadratics/cubics etc. Lesson 3 - Graphing the sequences and their differences and finding links between them. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Two lessons on solving inequalities. One with just the algebra and the second includes forming them from worded situations. The powerpoints have been made to go with exercises from 10 Ticks that are indicated on the title screen. If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

2 lessons on the aforementioned topics. There is a selection of harder questions to challenge the more able on the each sheet and a demonstration of where the formula for the curved surface area of a cone comes from. If you liked this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

This set of 12 powerpoints have been designed to match the Edexcel Pure Mathematics Year 2/A2 textbook, and have largely been adapted from my previous Core 3 and Core 4 resources. Every chapter is covered, and within are explanations that could be used to teach lessons or be shared with students via a digital classroom.

This resource contains material for 4 lessons on the GCSE circle theorems topics. Each lesson has a powerpoint including explanations, proofs, starters and plenaries. The worksheets have example questions on each topic, including answers. If you liked this resource then please check out my others on TES! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Owen134866

Pupils have to use the heights of one building to estimate the heights of others, and produce sketches of several well known buildings to scale. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here!
