Number Skills - Complete GCSE Maths lesson Pack

This ready-to-teach lesson brings together eight essential number topics — grid method multiplication, dividing integers, decimal multiplication and division, adding and subtracting negative numbers, multiplying and dividing negative numbers, BIDMAS, inverse operations, and half-way values — into one cohesive 90-minute session for GCSE Foundation students.
Every topic follows the same reliable structure: a fully worked example, then a dedicated practice question before moving on, so pace stays brisk without leaving anyone behind. The lesson opens with a real-life hook built around a receipt dispute (does the order of operations actually matter?), builds toward a genuine “aha” moment investigating why −3² and (−3)² aren’t the same thing, and closes with a collaborative Market Stall Challenge that ties grid multiplication, decimal division, and BIDMAS together in one real scenario.
Includes the full slide deck plus a matching set of eight resources — Student Handout, tiered Independent Practice, Collaborative Activity, Peer Assessment, Exit Ticket, Loop Cards, Teacher’s Handout with a complete answer key, and a Teacher’s Lesson Plan with adaptive teaching strategies for every phase of the lesson.
