These tasks allow students to build up the challenge by completing increasingly challenging questions on a given topic; ideal for end of topic tasks, revision or AfL. All these are available for free but if you are short of time…

I have concentrated on the algebra rather than linking to graphs of functions as I’m not sure at GCSE that the graphs are overly helpful for solving function notation problems; I will eventually get on to transforming functions which will tackle this (size could be an issue in the format though). This goes from simple function machines, through substitution, rearranging formulae and links them to functions questions. This started off as a request from a former colleague who bemoaned the lack of function notation resources, which is a fair point at present, I think.

I had this idea whilst driving home tonight thinking that I could do with some more stuff on bearings. The idea is for student to practice all the skills involved in bearings problems (angle properties on lines, around a point, triangles and parallel lines as well as scale) and then move on to solving some actual bearing problems. I have designed it in the shape of a wall to show that we build up to the summit. Obviously with this topic, scale is more of an issue but I hope it’s useful… (error corrected)

Work your way up to 3D Pythagoras and trigonometry…

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

This leads students through basic angle facts through parallel lines, polygons and then onto forming and solving equations or writing angles using algebra.

This takes students through everything they will need to know about sets and Venn diagrams, building up to the hardest type of question (hence the name).

Another one of these, taking students through the skills required for linear graphs up to and including perpendicular line.

The next in the “Building Blocks” series going through all the skills that lead up to different ratio problems. I have included simplifying fractions, unit conversion, HCF before moving on to ratio problems of varying difficulty levels. Hopefully this should provide some useful revision tasks.

This details the skills required to perform GCSE proofs up to grade 8/9 building up from the basics to the more complicated questions.

I was doing some revision with a class and realised that I was yet to do a sheet involving HCF and LCM and everything along those lines. That is now remedied.

This takes students from fairly straightforward area and perimeter questions (trapeziums, circles etc) through compound shapes and on to cones, frustums and hemispheres including finding the height in terms of the radius for a cone. I have tried to cover all bases with it including density and capacity problems.

The “Building Blocks” sequel to “Percentage of an Amount” - this goes through percentage change of all types.

This covers from simple finding pairs of integers up to completing the square, including completing the square and the quadratic formula. I will put solving graphically on a another one as there wasn’t room here.

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

Leading students through the skills required for proportion problems at GCSE level including substitution, solving equations and order of operations before asking some proportion questions. I didn’t have room for graphs I’m afraid, but that could be a discussion from the questions.

Yet another of these - moving from basics to quadratics and everything inbetween.

This takes students through the skills required to solve differentiation problems at GCSE and IGCSE level.

This takes students from simplifying expression, through factorising and up to algebraic fractions.

Working up from simple fraction of a number to adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing mixed numbers with everything in between, including a “Show that” question which always seems to confuse some.

This takes students through the skills required to answer vectors questions and some vectors questions from adding vectors to describing routes to proof.
