Straightforward set of questions on standard form, adapted and adopted from genuine past exam papers. Arranged for developing the complexity, and for printing and accessibility. Includes converting between standard form and ordinary numbers, ordering, multiplication and division, and a few word problems. Specs for KS4: 'interpret and compare numbers in standard form Nothing fancy - just a full set of questions reflecting those set by the big exam boards.

A work sheet that utilises a range of formulae from simple shapes to more complex speed/distance/acceleration etc to introduce the concept formulas, the power of generalisation, and being able to intuitively rearrange them. Lots of questions with answers.

Simple set of slides to demonstrate finding bearings when given some information, and locating things when given two bearings. Follows on from my introduction resource. For worksheets covering foundation, higher, measuring, trigonometry etc, plus a plenary/revision quiz, go to my premium resource. This contains a whole selection of questions adapted from exam questions, and covers the whole of this aspect of the syllabus. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-gcse-bearings-and-scale-drawings-two-differentiated-worksheets-plus-plenary-quiz-in-pp-11505938

PowerPoint lesson on primes, factors and multiples, with examples for learners to complete and answers.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Mensuration and Calculation included. Twenty seven lessons in all. After getting 'one-star' review on the complementary set, which covers number, ratio etc., I decided to offer a free sample of the first three algebra PowerPoints so you can try them first before you commit to buy them. Find the three free samples here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-samples-gcse-higher-tier-specs-and-objectives-in-powerpoint-for-lesson-plans-display-11163392

Key stage 2 - getting more familiar with fractions: 'compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators' Simple stuff for young learners, or revision at later stages.

A full set of activities to engage the learners in finding the area of parallelograms and deriving methods and formulas. Good for practice or revision at any stage. Covers the specs for Year 6.

Practical and real-life examples of ratios in context for exploring the mathematics, including equal opportunities issues. Plus worksheets at both foundation and higher tier GCSE to give opportunity to practise skills.

Maths Key Stage 2. Lots of questions in the style of SATs from right across the range of papers. Great for revision, practice, or checking learning at later stages, for example KS3 or Foundation GCSE. Using mathematics to solve problems using all four rules. In Word and PDF for ease of editing or printing.

A recap of surds and simplifying expressions with surds, then a full presentation of multiplying brackets and surds, including the conjugate of a binomial. simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions (including those involving surds) by: collecting like terms multiplying a single term over a bracket taking out common factors expanding products of two binomials Lots of points to stop for the learner to try three of four examples, and each questions slide followed by the answers slide. Also suitable for A’level revision! And plus a PDF version should you have problems with the PowerPoint.

Maths GCSE Foundation & Higher. Surds & irrational numbers, three activities or investigations in shape and measure. Finding the length of a the side of a square that leads to an irrational number. Comparing ratios of paper sizes to derive the ratio of length to width for A4 paper. Finding the area and perimeter of the pieces of a tangram. All good stuff that leads the learner through different process to derive lengths and areas using surds, and to add and simplify with surds. Needs knowledge of Pythagoras, which is KS3. So great for revising Pythagoras with surds.

Two sets of questions, differentiated by paper, for learners to complete. Plus answers. Counting has always been on Foundation, so quite easy for learners. Sophisticated counting strategies are new to the GCSE higher tier. The specs say: apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways) Hence also suitable for revision at A Level Statistics. All questions follow the format of 2017 exams across the boards, and the SAMs and Mocks available.

GCSE Higher Tier says ‘apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways)’. A clear, colourful and carefully explained PowerPoint presentation building up the skills from simple matching problems to calculating combinations and permutations in a variety of realistic and original settings, with lots of opportunity for the learner to reflect, apply, and evaluate the problems. Also available in my shop are two differentiated worksheets of adapted exam questions from sample and real GCSE assessments. Plus a PDF version that will work on all operating systems.

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting poor feedback, I decided to make the first three as free samples, so do check them out before you buy this full set. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-free-sample-specifications-and-objectives-for-gcse-higher-tier-3-lessons-in-powerpoint-11163375

Surds and and an understanding of irrational numbers are new to GCSE Foundation, so I’ve produced a clear and simple PowerPoint for classroom use to introduce the topic. Other stuff available on working with surds etc. I’ve added a pdf version to solve the problem of different versions of PowerPoint and some images not working well on ppt.

Surds are new to the Foundation part of GCSE maths, so I've made a very clear step-by-step PowerPoint that introduces surds, explains irrational numbers, demonstrates how to simplify surds, and gives examples and practice in applying all four rules of arithmetic using surds. Plus rationalising the denominator and more. Throughout the presentation there are groups of questions on each aspect to apply the skills, all with answers. Learners are now expected to appreciate that a surd gives an exact answer rather than a decimal approximation, and an understanding is essential for the new topics in algebra and trigonometry that are now on Foundation. Plus, it could be a very solid introduction to Higher tier surds.
