This presentation just takes you through definite integrals and uses questions from Edexcel; please don't expect anything flashy. If the animations get mixed up I apologise but for some reason Equation Editor doesn't have square brackets onto which one can put limits! Annoying.

All triangles and quarilaterals plus a regular polygon slide with 8 statements that students must decide whether they are always, sometimes or never true. This should create discussion. I have said that squares are a type of rectangle, and a rhombus is a type of parallelogram.

This (hopefully) does what it says on the tin: I wanted some sheets for students to construct triangles and bisectors so produced this. The constructions all fit in the boxes provided as long as you print them out on A4 paper. We start with constructing triangles, then bisectors, then a rhombus and a perpendicular line from a given point before finishing with couple of challenges (Yin-yang, incircle and circumcircle). Like I say, it is not designed to be flashy just practical.

This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.

This takes you from basic rounding to whole numbers up through decimal places, significant figures and beyond! Upper and lower bounds also covered along with standard form calculations.

I did this having seen numerous poor attempts at sketches in books on recognising types of graph.

Four sheets (two with mixed numbers, two without) to practise multiplying and dividing fractions. This is just a different way of doing some questions and depending on how it's run can involve plenty of discussion.

Five matching activities involving the Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and finding the area of a triangle using trigonometry. These are designed to show learning/demonstrate understanding whether as a starter or plenary but could be used all together as a lesson's main activity.

I just wanted a reasonably simple reflection worksheet for some lower ability students so came up with this and it seemed to challenge them.

Six matchings involving set notation and shading Venn diagrams. Hopefully these will encourage discussion in the classroom and they are designed as starters or plenaries where students, since most of the answers are there, are encouraged to try harder problems than they might normally do.

All the skills required for sequences up to and including summing arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences.

This was an idea one of my Year 10s gave me using the "Mean Girls" films. This covers basic mean, median and mode before moving on to stem-and-leaf (including IQR) and grouped data - there are three very distinct sections moving up in difficulty to enable you to start/end where you like. It's all on the powerpoint to save the planet (no worksheet) but everything can be copied and pasted to create a worksheet.

Can you calculate what the workers in each box are doing on the mathematical building site? It's essentially function machines but where you have the answers but need to find the rules.

Another set of four "spiders" to encourage discussion regarding shapes. It starts with naming polygons, moves on to triangles, quarilaterals and finally 3D shapes.

Taking students all the way from pictograms, through bar charts, pie charts, stem-and-leaf, scatter graphs, frequency diagrams, cumulative frequency, box plots and histograms. The graphs are as large as I can make them and should be ok if copied on to A4.

This is an exercise in finding the best way of buying what a customer wants given four different “deals” on pricing. You can buy more than required but not less which should add an extra bit of challenge. Workings are essential and I have provided answers on a separate slide each time. There are five to work out and this should lead to nice mathematical discussions. I have also put this in a format that could be used easily online if this is desirable.

This idea is from Craig Barton and is an excellent one (check them out his at website); essentially it is four questions based on the same information. There are four here which use perimeter, area, Pythagoras, equations of lines, coordinates, vectors, equations of circles, expanding brackets, solving equations as well as other topics. This really should create discussion and a deeper understanding of the topics covered on top of ensuring that students actually read the question. I hope these are worthy! I will be using these as starters or plenaries.

Another in the series taking students through the skills required to solve equations, including simplifying expressions, expanding brackets and reading the question carefully!

This (hopefully) covers circle theorems from basic up to one proof questions using circle theorems. There should be enough variety to cover all bases.

My daughter won this in a Christmas cracker (she was over the moon!) but it is full of sequences and I thought it would make a nice little activity for a class or two of mine.
