- The slides display screenshots from all available Pearson / Edexcel on-screen past papers, with a cover page breaking down the questions by topic. - The screenshots are not interactive, but I’ve found all of them useful to print out for my students to discuss or practice on regardless. - The exam series which any question comes from is written in the “notes” section of each slide, useful if you have access to the public On-Screen exams. I made this resource to easily get exam practice in for my functional skills students, when computers are impractical or unavailable. Generally, I’d use relevant exam questions at the end of a lesson on any topic. E.g. Area and Perimeter questions at the end of the associated lesson. I’ve also made copies of this document available for students to access for revision.

This Powerpoint Presentation requires students to make a 4x4 number grid, fill it with numbers from -10 to 10, and answer questions from the slides to cross off numbers on their grid until someone gets bingo! The answer to each slide is in the "notes" section of the powerpoint, so the teacher could print off the slides (with notes) to keep track of which numbers have been called.

A bank statement activity where students are given some information on a bank statement, and required to complete the rest. For example, if they start with £30, and spend £50, what is their account balance now?

Included are a set of resources which can be used as part of a lesson on payslips and deductions. There is a focus on Income Tax, to familiarize students with the idea that different percentages are paid between different brackets. There are also activities requiring students to complete pay slips with Income Tax, National Insurance, Pension and Student Loan Repayments, to find the total deductions an individual has from their wages. Included files: - Tax and Minimum Wage Info: Information handout detailing the current minimum wage conditions and maximum working hours, correct as of October 2016. Overleaf are current Income Tax rates and Bands, useful for other resources included. - Other Deduction Rates: Information sheet with screenshots from gov.uk, detailing how much National Insurance is paid at different thresholds, and statements about pension payments and student loan repayments - Income Tax Visual: A powerpoint presentation, displaying salaries of various amounts on a number line, and demonstrating which parts of the full salary comes under personal allowance, 20% bracket etc. Good for showing students very visually how different parts of the salary are taxed at different amounts. - Income Tax Calculations: A worksheet where students are required to find jobs in the local area, and calculate how much INCOME TAX is paid in each role. There is a scaffolded table to be completed, with an example. - Scenarios: A set of 8 cards with different individuals' age, weekly hours worked, and hourly wage. Some information is stated as "Minimum Wage" or "Apprentice Wage" for example, so this resource is used in conjunction with "Tax and Minimum Wage" info. Students can be asked to find how much these individuals would take home after all of their deductions, or after JUST INCOME TAX. - Payslip Example Calculation: A powerpoint which breaks down the calculations required to find the deductions from an individual's wages - 2 examples. - Payslip Examples: 4 payslips which have been completed incorrectly! Students are to complete the payslips correctly, and as a challenge, can be asked to determine what error has been made. The errors are detailed at the end. [The payslips are World of Warcraft themed, just for fun :) ]. - Tax Checker: An excel spreadsheet, where you can put a salary into the formula, and it will detail the INCOME TAX paid. This could be useful either to discuss with students, or to quickly check students' answers.

Students are required to complete a table of Interior and Exterior angles of Polygons up to 10 sides, and then asked worded questions about angles in larger polygons. The scaffolding in the questions will hopefully instil in students the understanding of how the different angle calculations relate to one another. A set of solutions is also included, which could be given as a handout for students to self-assess, or discussed as a group. I’ve also included for convenience a starter (which I’ve separately uploaded for free download) in which students will be tested on their knowledge of the words for angles of different sizes, and angles around a point and on a straight line.

A short, A5 worksheet which would go along nicely with a bit of input, to help learners remember how to convert mm to cm, g to Kg etc. There's a sort of conversion flowchart and a handful of questions asking students to practice.

This short activity requires students to think about how much money they'll receive from a rich granny if they get different amounts every year. Eg, £10 less than last year, twice as much as last year etc. I use this with my older students in small groups, and get them to think about life expectancy and how much they'd expect to receive from each option after so many years. I use this with older students as it could be a little morbid for less mature learners. As an extension, I've asked students to tell me after how many years each option would be best. IE after 5 years, which is best? 10 years? 20? A further extension could be to find an algebraic expression to find the amount of money from each option after "n" years. To round off (depending on student group) I have also included an excel spreadsheet which shows the value of each offer for up to 30 years. Depending on student group, I might take this opportunity to embed IT and discuss the spreadsheet formulae, or even make it from scratch together. This has been adapted from a resource I saw a thumbnail of on CMSP, but which wasn't available to download. Note: The odd address and name "Camille" are a reference to a popular computer game "League of Legends", in case students ask!

In this activity students will look at exchange rates; primarily the difference between banks’ rates for buying and selling currency, and how this translates to a profit for the bank. They will first be required to check they can convert currencies using quoted exchange rates, and will need to recognise whether to use a bank’s Buying or Selling rate. They can then work in groups to investigate whether the banks make the same profit on each different currency. Included are 3 files: -The main worksheet, a 1 sided A4 document which contains recent exchange rates for various currencies, a worked example, some quick conversion questions (so the tutor can easily check understanding before the final task), and a description of the investigation. The investigation can be done independently or in groups on a large piece of paper. -Depending on student ability, there is also a document containing a template table which could be distributed to students. This will walk students though the different stages required to work out how much profit the banks make. -The final document is an answer sheet, which contains the solutions to the main worksheet, in addition to an example of a completed table which finds the percentage profit the banks make.

Two sides of A4, the first showing two pictograms for students to read from, and the second requiring students to complete two of their own. As an extension, students could be asked to create their own pictogram to represent students in the room?

This presentation contains around 70 questions covering areas of the GCSE curriculum. The questions are categorised into Number, Number & Algebra, Statistics & Number, and Geometry & Algebra. Each slide contains up to 4 questions, and each question has a worked solution. These appear on the slide with the questions, upon advancing the slide. Some questions lend themselves to being displayed on a projector and discussed or completed in books, whereas some would be better printed off for students to complete. I like using these questions as a nice revision activity at the start or end of a lesson, to ensure students have some repetition of covered topics.

This worksheets covers basic simplifying of expressions such as 2a+4a, or 4a-2b+2a+5b etc. It then goes slightly further, asking students to expand brackets before simplifying, such as 2(3a+b)-6a etc.

Two resources: A short A5 worksheet where students need to use a rule (such as "times 2, plus 1") to find the next few terms of a sequence. An A4 worksheet leading students through the steps needed to find the nth term. It then also includes some examples where students need to use an nth term to some specific terms in a sequence (eg, 6th, 10th etc).

Intended as a starter activity for a lesson on angles, this worksheet quizzes students on the names for angles of different sizes, and checks knowledge of angles around a point and angles on a straight line.

This powerpoint includes 4 exam questions, which have been completed incorrectly. Upon clicking through each slide: 1. The question appears 2. The (wrong) answer appears 3. The mistakes are highlighted. This means that you can show students the question so they can attempt it, then discuss why the displayed solution is incorrect, before checking they found the mistakes by highlighting them.

Included are 2 documents: Algebraic Words Pairs: Intended as a matching activity, students are required to match up words (such as expression, term, variable etc) with their definitions and an example. Algebraic Words: Similar to above, but intended as a handout or cheat - sheet, for students who struggle with the matching activity. Alternatively could just be given to help students out with a different activity.

Two sides of A4 explaining and demonstrating finding averages, including a set of numbers, frequency tables, and grouped frequency tables. I have given this out to students who missed lessons on averages, who need more assistance with averages, or as a classroom aid to let students work independently on averages work.

Just a short collection of Pythag questions which I've found. These could be used as an extension for more capable learners, or just to make Pythagoras a bit more interesting! One of the images contained is quite low resolution, that one could be easily removed if you think it'll be tricky for students to read.

Worksheet which requires students to demonstrate simplifying a ratio and sharing an amount into a ratio. I adapted it for foundation GCSE students to try and give them an appreciation for the world outside our college. Should definitely tick a box for British Values. As an extension I might ask students to use their phones or computers to find out information about other worldwide demographics, such as ratios of adult to children. NOTE: There is a space near the bottom which requires you to edit in the name of your school or college to make the worksheet more personal for your students.

A basic worksheet for students to practice finding a percentage of an amount, without a calculator.

Very short handout for an activity asking students to estimate the length/volume/weight of various things, such as phones, chairs, distance from school to home etc. Students can then be asked to measure some of these things to find out how close their estimates were.
