This is a booklet of 50 worksheets that can be used for either revision, homework or those students who have missed work with each containing a QR code that will scan to a short tutorial video.

A Question of Algebra - What Happened Next?

(11)
Choose one of the 6 options and then say what happens next when solving the equation. I used a template (with permission!) for the music from the excellent resource written by DanielBurke - check his resources out as they are top quality. The animations are little clunky, but do the job - I'm sure you could all make it look like Avatar! If you find the answers already on the slide then powerpoint has messed up the animations. Just contact me and I can send you my version.
Levelled/Graded Worksheets - Number, Algebra, Geometry, DataQuick View

Levelled/Graded Worksheets - Number, Algebra, Geometry, Data

(2)
These are levelled/graded worksheets covering the GCSE curriculum and split up into topics. Each individual sheet builds from the most straightforward elements of the topic through to the most challenging. At the top of each sheet is a “RAG” table for students to complete before and/or after completing each section; every statement in a RAG table is connected to a section in the sheet. I have produced these for two reasons: firstly to allow my Year 11 students to focus their revision on the areas that will make it most efficient and secondly to have a bank of worksheets available that students can differentiate themselves for any GCSE topic within lessons. This is all of them in one bundle (essentially all four for the price of three). Now with contents page and updated in December 2018!

Defuse The Bomb - Algebra Bundle

These are all available individually for free but are available as one big bunch here. The concept is to choose the correct order to cut the wires by answering the questions correctly - each wire is linked to a question. Not all the wires need cutting to prevent guessing at the end. I use these as starters, plenaries (prove you can do the work tasks) and quick homeworks!

Each of these 21 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of algebra topics from solving equations to linear graphs (including parallel and perpendicular lines), inequalities, algebraic fractions, simplifying expressions, linear sequences and substitution. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.
