I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Simple 2D and 3D shapes for revision at any stage. Made originally for Functional Skills

Sarah needed a simple activity to remind her functional skills learners of the names of plane and solid shapes, so I quickly made this. The plan is to show the name and the properties, and the learners sketch the shape. Unfortunately I couldn't get the animation to work, so I've built up the slides to show possible results. You can easily remove the properties - change as you like. I've lots more stuff on TES on plane and solid shapes, if you look at my shop. Plus the net of a box. The plan is to get the learners to adapt this to make a box to hold four cup-cakes. And an activity of making a box to hold cup-cakes. Enjoy.

Symmetry: shading and colouring-in.

I've made blank grids and some with some bits already shaded - complete for reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry, and make up some of your own. Good for fun and display, and hopefully learning. All in Word, so feel free to edit.

Step by step look at multiplication of mixed numbers, building on multiplication of proper fractions and addition, to create a simple algorithm.

See my other stuff for presentations on PowerPoint of division, and addition and subtraction.
Introduction to GCSE Foundation algebra

Introduction to GCSE Foundation algebra

Can't say it is an introduction, but it is for post 16 learners, who I throw in at the deep end, or somewhere near it. An assortment of functions, formulas and some simplification, mostly copied from exam papers with a bit of poetic license. Later ones will be more specific in the topics.

I teach 16 plus learners in a thirty or so week programme for GCSE - some retake and some new learners. What I have done here is put the Edexcel Linear A new scheme into the weekly slots, and devided all the criteria/spec statements into Aims and Objectives. I wouldn't expect anyone to follow the same order, or keep my jokes, but please copy slides as you want. Inspectors love to see the aims pasted up, so I use PowerPoint.

What it says - simple 'fill in the gaps&' four rules of fractions, with some scaffolding by way of answers and interim stages for the addition and subtraction, which can be deleted before printing in the Word version if so desired. Plus pdf documents for those who prefer this format.
