A Powerpoint explaining how to add and subtract mixed numbers by first converting into improper fractions. Requires prior knowledge of converting into improper fractions. All examples and questions with answers.

A PowerPoint presentation to introduce the concept of Venn diagrams to year 7 pupils. Starts with classifying numbers and then moves onto extracting information from a diagram. No notation used - I would do that in the next lesson.

A powerpoint and worksheet aimed at teaching pupils how to draw a pie chart by first finding the ratio and then finding each angle. Can work for both calculator and non calculator methods.

A scaffolded worksheet to help pupils find the surface area of cubes.

A Powerpoint expanding brackets with a differentiated worksheet. Begins by using the bar model to expand single brackets with a number on the outside. Then moves to using a formal method, and then expanding and simplifying brackets in the form 2(x + 1) + 3(x - 1) etc. All answers for the questions on the powerpoint are included. Answers to worksheet included. Highly successful lesson which I use with all of key stage 3 as well as foundation GCSE groups.

Proof topic including ‘show that’ questions, algebraic proof and proof by counter-example. A powerpoint and collection of worksheets and exam questions with worked solutions. Ideal for high ability pupils, also for recalling past topics.

Lesson PowerPoint with working and answers, plus extension worksheet and plenary task. ideal for teachers who have not taught this topic before, or non specialists who have key stage 3 groups. I used this lesson as part of an interview and it was rather successful! Please leave a review if you found this useful.

A Powerpoint presentation on adding and subtracting fractions with both the same and different denominators. Begins with pictorial explanations and then moves onto formal method using equivalent fractions. Clear slides with answers to all examples and questions.

A PowerPoint presentation explaining how to divide quantities into a given ratio, as well as comparing different ratios. This gives the teacher the freedom to model the answers in whichever method they feel will work best for their pupils.

Adding and subtracting fractions using the ‘quick trick’ of the butterfly method (as seen on Pintrest). Excellent for year 10/11 pupils who still struggle with fractions. Also a good start before introducing algebraic fractions with low/mid ability GCSE groups. All examples and questions complete with answers.

Two Power Point presentations, a number line worksheet and a set of GCSE exam questions for solving inequalities, representing on a numberline and greatest/smallest integer possible. Enjoy!

The perfect introduction to fractions. Begins with describing the parts of a fraction, then moves onto finding equivalent fractions and cancelling down fractions to their simplest form. Then converts improper fractions into mixed numbers and vice versa. Enjoy!

A PowerPoint for solving linear equations, both one step and two step. Ideal for year 7 pupils just starting out, or lower ability groups who need extra help and guidance. I have used function machines for two step, but I would formalise this later on for the pupils, usually in the next lesson.

A powerpoint for modelling and describing how to answer all types of scatter graph questions, including the NEW SPEC type questions which often confuse our pupils. This is for explaining in detail the different types of questions, and gives chance for misconceptions to be spotted and quashed. Ideal for modelling answers.

Powerpoint on the introduction to finding fractions of amounts. Begins with pictorial explanation and then moves onto a formal method. Answers to examples and questions included.

Practice questions for chapter 5 in the Edexcel Year 1 book: Coordinate Geometry. A mixture of past exam questions and practice questions complete with mark scheme. I created it for an end of topic homework but it would also be useful for revision later on in the year.

A worksheet of questions which I put together for teaching the circles chapter in the year 1 pure Edexcel book. I use this at the end of the chapter as a homework. Answers included.

A worksheet/activity in which pupils work through and plot polar curves in Desmos. Some are on the Further Maths syllabus, some (like Rose Curves and Lemniscates) are not, but are there for interest. Can also be used as a fun activity for high ability A-level pupils, or as a one off lesson for GCSE pupils.
