A topic review worksheet covering all areas of transformations. Perfect for more able year 8 and 9 and GCSE higher students. The worksheet builds gradually, beginning with single transformations and concluding with multiple transformations including enlargements with negative scale factors. Answers included.

Covering pretty much every GCSE algebra topic except for functions. Split into foundation and higher topics, with easier, medium and hard questions. Answers included. I usually use this worksheet during the last 2 months before GCSE exams, however have given it to year 11 students earlier in the year as a diagnostic tool.

This revision mat contains more information than any other I’ve seen on TES. Structured into the different branches that make up the Maths National Curriculum identified by the different coloured sections to assist with memory recall. The most common answer I get when I ask my students “How do you revise maths?”, is “I do past papers”. Without a doubt exam technique and problem solving skills are vital, but recalling key formula, laws and meaning of words, AO1, can be just as much of a barrier as AO2 and AO3 skills. I like using the mat in conjunction with PixiMaths revision mats. It provides students with a quick reference point allowing them to work independently.

A treasure hunt activity, where students have to hunt for the next question in the loop. A good 20-30 minute paired/group task for middle-ability KS3 students or a less-able KS4 class to consoliate work on Pythagoras’ Theorem. Full of problem solving style questions. Cut out the questions and stick them up in corridors (or given the current circumstances, outside). Print out the instructons and answer loop. You will likely want to ignore the begin with the * question instruction

UPDATE: So I’ve done this quiz over Microsoft Teams a couple times now and it’s worked really well, nice to hear the students having fun and also some of their frankly ridiculous answers A guess the movie from the movie-still quiz. Squares covering the movie-still are gradually removed until the entire picture is visible, each film also has a bonus question. A popular addition to the end of term fun at my school and a quiz that the students have come to expect on their last maths lesson. Usually I only include films from the last 12 months, but as so few films have been released, this year’s quiz includes classic films and Christmas films. Hope you enjoy, let me know in the comments below.

A good starter activity for able KS3 students or a KS4 class.

Much more than just a matching task. Students are required to recognise patterns and think outside the box to arrange these cards into a two-way table where each column and each row share a common factor (one of the grey cards). This task often proves too challenging for less able KS3 classes, but with the right level of assistance and scaffolding it can work. 5 minutes into the task be prepared for students to loudly declare they “have no idea”, but share the clue slides with them and encourage them to persevere. It’s an enjoyably rich task that consolidates expanding and factorising single brackets.
