A great couple of lessons to introduce and advance substitution skills. The starter is a fantastic way to introduce the concepts and skills. Fun activities follow to secure these skills. Code breaking worksheet included.

On recognising that a countdown timer in powerpoint does not seem to exist I set myself the challenge of creating one. Done completely through animation these timers can be easily copied and pasted into your own powerpoints. I only made a 5 minute and 1 minute timer for the actual countdown clock. I tried a 1 minute and 2 minute timer using a different method too.

I spent hours making this! A difficult worksheet that can be used at the end of studying all transformations. Follow the transformations correctly for each shape will produce a picture in the middle. (a fish!)

Absolutely everything you need to teach Trigonometry. The whole units worth of lessons. - SOHCAHTOA - Sine and cosine rules - Trig in 3D - Trig with bearings - Trigonometric graphs

I have written a number of mini tests to fit perfectly on to one sheet of A4 (I actually print them 2 to a page so A5!). These tests can be completed and peer marked in the same lesson and will be reused by you many many times over the years. Really easy to mark due to the layout of the test paper and the markschemes included. This tests all types of plotting linear equation questions that can be found in the GCSE. Ideal for finishing the straight line graphs chapter. I use it for a pretest before the official chapter test.

Easily differentiated maths warm up. Perfect as a quick starter.

A few lessons to introduce and practise solving equations. Having taught using many different methods to solve equations I have settled for the magic bridge method (float and ping). It is understood quickly and clearly and creates skills to be carried forward to more advanced maths. Resource includes step by step methods, practice exercises, a differentiated fun code breaking worksheet and an end of topic test that can be completed and peer marked in a lesson.

Pretty simple. A Where's Wally picture with a coordinates grid pasted on the front. Can be used in a number of ways. I get students to crowed around the board and shout out the coordinates of various items I call out. The Powerpoint has a list of items to find plus the answers for the first 3 pictures. 3 more pictures to use as you wish.

I collect puzzles! From books, games etc and remake them myself on PowerPoint. This is my collection so far after 7 years teaching. I hate predictable and generic puzzles and so this a collection of my favourites.

This activity runs on OneNote so students will need access to a computer. As it is done using online OneNote they do not need an account for it - just click the link and go! The powerpoint is for teachers reference to help guide students when they get stuck - the answers to each room can be found in the NOTES part of the Powerpoint. The only way I know to share this with students is using a share link which shares my original uneditable OneNote file. This does mean you will not be able to edit anything. If you spot a mistake, tell me and I will fix my original file and this will in turn fix it for anyone using the share link! If for some reason the share link stops working - just let me know and I will send you another share link. I have put the share link at the start of the powerpoint. HOW IT WORKS: Send the share link to students. DO NOT send the powerpoint to students. Each page represents a room which gives a code to access the password protected next page. Their aim is to access the final page. It works better in pairs. The Powerpoint is just for you. You only need to share the link with them. The final room tells you the 4 digit code to “the safe”. I have an actual small safe i bought online which i can easily change the code to and just put a bag of sweets in it. You could just tell them to “escape” to win or tell you the code to the safe to win. Content: This is full of logic puzzles which would work for all year groups though guided more towards the younger years.
