Test your pupils' knowledge of solving quadratic inequalities in a motivating and engaging way with this differentiated target table. The aim is to reach a target score, set by you, by answering questions from the table. The questions are differentiated, with different point values, so pupils can choose their own difficulty level. The easiest questions require students to factorise a quadratic expression where a=1 in order to solve the inequality. The hardest questions require pupils to factorise an expression where a>1 and in some cases where a is negative. Some of the hardest questions require rearranging first. Of course, the quadratic formula could be used rather than factorising if you would prefer! There are 15 questions in total so this activity would make a perfect consolidation task as the main part of your lesson. This topic is new to the GCSE for 2017 and this resource has been designed to meet the specification, it's therefore ideal for a higher GCSE class. You'll get full instructions, answers and a thoughtfully differentiated resource - everything you need for a great lesson!

Test your pupils' knowledge of bounds in a motivating and engaging way with this differentiated target table. The aim is to reach a target score, set by you, by answering questions from the table. The questions are differentiated, with different point values, so pupils can choose their own difficulty level. The easiest questions require pupils to find the upper and lower bounds of numbers which have been rounded to 2 significant figures. The hardest questions are set in context and involve calculating with more than one bound. This resource is best suited to a higher GCSE class or a more able KS3 class who have already been introduced to significant figures and the concept of bounds. You'll get full instructions, answers and a thoughtfully differentiated resource - everything you need for a great lesson!

Test your pupils' knowledge of calculating the area of circles in a motivating and engaging way with this differentiated target table. The aim is to reach a target score, set by you, by answering questions from the table. The questions are differentiated, with different point values, so pupils can choose their own difficulty level. The easiest questions require students to find the area of a circle with a given radius or diameter. The harder questions involve parts of circles, shaded areas and calculating the radius from the area. This resource would make a perfect main activity in your lesson as it would allow some pupils to consolidate their understanding whilst others can challenge themselves. It would be better suited to a higher class or a foundation class who have already done some work on finding the area of circles.

Test your pupils' knowledge of direct and inverse proportion in a motivating and engaging way with this differentiated target table. The aim is to reach a target score, set by you, by answering questions from the table. The questions are differentiated, with different point values, so pupils can choose their own difficulty level. The easiest questions require students to set up an equation between two variables which are directly proportional. The hardest questions require pupils to set up an equation between x and y where y is inversely proportional to the cube of x (for example). In every question pupils will need to use their equation to find the value of y for a given value of x (or visa-versa). All the questions are purely algebraic but a contextual problem could be used as a nice plenary. This resource has been designed with the new 2017 GCSE curriculum in mind and is appropriate for a higher class. Although. it could also be used with a higher ability foundation class as direct and inverse proportion is now on the foundation specification.
