Few questions I wrote where students have to set up and solve equations, using their knowledge of circle theorems. Please note on the handwritten sheet, I made a mistake. One of the cyclic quadrilaterals and simultaneous equations does not work, the equations are parallel. I usually sell it as “I have made one deliberate mistake”

I produced these sheets for some final revision for my Foundation group. They have a range of targets from 1 to 4 so I wanted a mixture of stuff for them - a bit of recall, a bit of applying and a bit of “thinking” questions - the phrase “problem solving” can be a bit off putting for some of them. Let me know what you think.

25 pairs of simultaneous equations I gave to my Year 11 for revision. These are definitely classed as “harder” and are a variety of types (addition and subtractions). Answers include some halves / quarters as well as negatives

This is a resource to really help consolidate metric measures. I always find that my functional skills maths learners struggle with the topic of converting metric units. I have made this carousel to really get them practicing without just doing work sheets. There is a functional skills approach but suitable for all learners. 6 activities should be sufficiently challenging questions for L1 and L2 learners All activities look at converting metric conversions. The following units are practiced: cm,m,mm,km,l,ml,g,kg A tarsia puzzle on PDF for ease of printing An answer hunt with functional skills style problem solving questions An activity to mark the work right or wrong (great to higher order thinking) A cross-number to help get them into the habit of converting before answering the questions. A find the answer activity -choose the correct letter to reveal the punch line. Cut up and cover up activity, which can also be used as a matching activity. Loads to fill a jam packed lesson.

BORED OF SWEEPSTAKES? FANTASY FOOTY TO COMPLICATED? TRY THIS EASY AND FUN ALTERNATIVE… After a successful Euro 2016 competition, I have written a World Cup 2018 competition. (Old version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/euro-2016-staff-class-game-sweepstake-alternative-11265937) At my school, the staff loved this game, with daily emailed updates. Classes loved the game, as I ran it separately for each class. The competition is largely similar to 2 years ago, with a couple of improvements: 1. Larger leaderboard template for groups larger than 32 2. Total goals in the tournament guess will now be worth bonus points This game is really easy to play and enjoyable for staff and students. Here’s how it works: 1. Pick 8 teams from the four pots (2 from each) 2. Pick a striker (or choose your own) 3. Predict how many goals will be scored in the tournament 4. THAT'S IT! As the tournament progresses, you just update the score on the tracker and update the leading scorers list. The rest sorts itself out! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GIVE IT A GO!

Some of my children struggle with “Time” so I made this break down, to display on the wall around the classroom wall clock. It made a difference straight away and the children really do benefit from seeing it everyday rather than just during lessons when the topic is ‘Time’. I have saved the resource on a powerpoint presentation and will be willing to e-mail it to anyone who would like it for their classrooms. All i ask for is a £1 donation to my just giving page, helping to raise money for a year 9 residential trip for our children at Wilson Stuart SEN School. Leave your e-mail address in the comments of the donation on my just giving page and i will send the powerpoint directly to your e-mail address. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/tamara-matthews Thank you!

Quadratics: What do you know about this quadratic? Students are given a quadratic equation and asked to work out: its factors where it crosses the axes what its graph would look like what it would be in completed square format where its minimum point is They are then given three other quadratics to work on, but are provided with different starting information - i.e., if they have the graph, can they work out the factors? Updated May 2018 Now with 2 additional bonus activities: Properties of Quadratic Graphs Worksheets Students have to identify the roots, turning point, y intercept and line of symmetry from a graph or function. Recognising Quadratic Graphs Activity Students have to match quadratic graphs to their functions by considering roots, y -intercepts and whether the co-efficient of x^2 is positive or negative. All activities include answers.
