Converting speeds, quick introduction, one class question and then 5 questions (with answers) split into two levels.

4 worksheets. I grouped the class and shared these out. The idea is to produce a report that makes your product look better than the competition by drawing graphs that are clearly misleading. I found this activity really made students think about scale and presentation. It worked well with a top set year 9 and middling year 10.

I wrote this for a bottom set yr 11. It is very step by step. The cards were used well and I wrote the answers on the back of each but no workings out!. The cards are differentiated: yellow, different shapes but straightforward, purple: similar to the PP, blue: very exam question based. Measurements now corrected. Lesson got very good in an observation

Used with a mid level year 10 set. It is very basic but has some mini whiteboard work and questions at two levels.

10 questions to be done on mini whiteboards. Repeated numbers to show links between fraction and then percentage

Mr Men Top Trumps. Fractions of quantities, 2 sets of only 8 cards each so could be used as a starter. Red outlined one is unit fractions only. Easy to adapt, but a pain to make! If adapting I recommend saving first as Word is not the most user friendly for layout.

Written for low ability year 10 set, It goes through direct and inverse proportion (briefly) then focuses on how to solve the problems. It has differentiated questions, although these are mainly to do with easier numbers, and wowo work. Answers included.

This PP covers the sections on quadratic graphs that are now in the Foundation paper. The section on plotting is very small due to vast resources already available. The worksheet on turning points has a sections borrowed from an As resource (many thanks) and the plotting worksheet is entirely someone elses but fits nicely. Mistake on the quadratic plotting answers!

Just a set of PP slides with questions taken from freely available exam papers or practice papers. Students have to identify what is needed to solve the question. I printed them off also and then used them as a revision activity. I created these for my yr 11 Foundation class

PP with mini white board questions and differentiated questions at the end for an intro for a low ability yr 9-11 class it only does writing upper and lower bounds with no error intervals.

I was thinking about the 5 minute lesson plan and the training we have done in lockdown. So much to remember, so I adapted the idea of the 5 minute lesson plan to prompt when planning.

Used with a very weak year 9 class, but useful for anyone who is trying to link literacy to ratio. Four levels, bronze is just writing the ratio, silver is writing and then simplifying, gold is adding in some thinking skills and then volcano (red) level is the GCSE style questions, which could bring in algebra.

Aimed at low ability KS4 these are worded questions. There are a few 2 digit division questions but not hard ones. No remainders. There are 2 copies and the answers on each sheet. Each question has 1 2 or 3 points, the aim is to gain as many points as you want to set.

A game played with a dice that allows students to choose the level of difficulty of the question. It can include all 4 rules or just adding your choice! I have used it from yr 9 to yr 11

These are a series of problems from a variety of freely shared resources, or self written. They are aimed at low ability yr 9, but some are taken from KS2 problems also. They are linked to topics and I use them as starters. I started this as a project and found that it increased pupils confidence in class and on exam papers. I do them on whiteboards so there is no concerns about having wrong answers in their books. Many thanks to all who post problems and share freely.

18 shapes (2D and 3D) to identify on timed PP slides. Good for quick tests to refresh memory

Just a bit of fun revising multiplying 3 levels of multiplying, single digit, double digit and decimal all on one sheet! Students have to follow the mixed up paths to reach the end multiplying as they go! Answers on the second sheet.

This is a very basic introduction for the new Foundation paper. It does have a very brief section on plotting quadratic graphs, and the worksheet for plotting is borrowed. You will need to have factorised quadratics before this lesson.

used with mid set yr 10 . Just lots of lines to practice finding the gradient

Aimed at a lower ability set yr 10, this follows on from my yr 9 probllm solving PP. It is a collection of problems from a variety of freely shared resources, and some self written. The problems are linked to topics and I aimed to get at least 3 problems completed in a week for starters. I used mini whiteboards so students were not concerned about wrong answers. The results in class and on assessments have been excellent from the exposure.

3 sets of questions at the harder end of solving equations. Includes brackets and fractions. Answers included but left as exact answers
