At least 2 lessons (could be 3) aimed at KS4 learners. Could be used as a revision lesson for linear graphs or a fun end of topic/year lesson. Lesson includes revision of equations of straight lines, how to find the equation of a straight line between 2 points and then asks learners to create a masterpiece using mainly/just straight lines. Includes example ideas, stretch and challenge ideas, support ideas and a list of materials needed. As well as the powerpoint there is a lesson plan, peer assessment sheets and other useful links to help the lessons go smoothly. About 2 hours worth of lesson material in total.

A lesson giving an introduction to BIDMAS and how to apply it to grade 2 and 3 questions. Mixture of tasks involving mwb, written work, differentiated tasks, feedback and a short “whodunnit” at the end which could be done in pairs or small groups if needed. Aimed at higher level KS2 or lower ability KS3. No printing necessary!

A self scrolling presentation designed to whet the appetite and promote the diverse skills of these female mathematicians. From Hypatia to Zoe Quinn this will “hook” some learners into finding out more. Could be used for a variety of reasons from International Women’s Day, STEM presentations, assembly topic or shown in a loop for open evenings within any maths/STEM departments. Credit to photos/portraits have been added wherever possible.

A lesson I used with a low ability year 8 group. Generates quite a lot of discussion and introduces writing fractional probability. The jelly baby slide involves you buying jelly babies for your group and letting them choose one without looking!Simple worksheet too.

Whole lesson including activity on splitting up compound shapes into their components. The baseball activity can have the scaffolding removed for more able kids. I put the kids into pairs, stuck the task on A3 onto the wall and let them get on with it....then you can see what is going on with all the groups.

A lesson used with year 7 as an introduction to solving simple equations. Whole lesson including creative plenary task to check understanding. Elements of the lesson can easily be done on individual white boards.

A power point of 30 inspirational Brits (by no means exhaustive!!!) which could be used on a loop or for a short assembly piece, All of the ones chosen have links to literacy, numeracy or both. I have tried to pick out an interesting fact or 2 about each one.

At least 1 lessons worth (probably more like 3 depending on your group) of some of the topics at grade 4 level foundation maths. Topics covered area and perimeter of circles, basic angle questions, solving basic equations, simple linear sequences, expanding brackets, index laws, percentage decreases, fractions, ratios, estimating. Lots of differentiated questions also included and sample questions from previous exam papers. By no means exhaustive!!

An introduction to fractions using lots of visual comparisons to help learners understand the basics of fractions. Structured to help make the links about using times tables to find equivalent fractions, and then goes on to simplifying fractions too. Also includes comparing fractions. Designed for any age level where basic understanding of the concept of fractions is not there.

Full lesson as an introduction to percentages, maybe even more than 1 lesson dependent on group. Grade 3. Uses everyday percentages as an introduction working from 50% to 25% to 10% and then 1%. Final tasks include how they would find other values to stretch and challenge. Fully scaffolded and also uses place value knowledge.

A complete lesson on how to easily create a times table grid from scratch to help those learners who struggle to remember their tables. Broken down into very easy steps and then how to use the grid to answer questions. Includes starter, some questions within the lesson, some stretch for more able learners and then a plenary task. Aimed at low ability learners of any age.
