It's back for 2017 with a fresh new look! All 48 booster packs (over 190 pages of content!) have been updated with the Sample paper and 2016 Reasoning and Arithmetic questions. The new video tutorials on YouTube for these questions are only accessible via this resource: a MUST for all KS2 primary schools, children and parents preparing for SATs! This resource allows a student to choose a weak topic area of theirs (personalised learning) from a menu of 48 topics and instantly opens a printable PDF of past SATs questions specific to that topic. All 48 topic PDFs are housed on Genius Maths' Google drive account which can only be accessed via this single file. All questions contain a Youtube Button next to them, so if a student needs help, they simply HIT THE YOUTUBE button to zoom off to a mini Youtube tutorial specific to that question on our Youtube channel. The Youtube channel has over 180,000 hits and rising from those who used it during the last two year's SATs. Also included are the One-A-Day Mini Maths Vidamins for Y5 + and links to Thinking Outside the Box puzzle videos! This single PDF could easily be placed on a teacher's computer for whiteboard projection. It could be used in whole class lessons in an ICT suite or from the comfort of a student's own living room on their tablet.Schools placing this on their own website will be giving students the ability to access and revise for their SATs from home across multiple platforms - laptops, tablets and phones. Students could even revise on their phone on a car journey!The school promo posters are included to help you advertise the launch of the Organiser on your school corridors/walls.*updated 04/12/16 to include KS2 Launch assembly and parent information letter to send home.**updated 03/03/17 to include Answer Booklet PDF.

Recommended by TES Panel. An investigation which allows the learners to find the rules for transformations plus some example questions. PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT.

There are 4 sets of questions (Number, Algebra, Shape, Data) which are mainly A and A* (with some lower grade questions from topics which students struggle with, e.g. percentages, constructions). PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT. Students work in pairs or small groups to answer the questions. When they finish a question they get it marked and if it is correct they are given cash to the value of the question. There are bank notes which you can put your school name and pictures of your teachers on. The team with the most money at the end could be given a prize.

This is a worked solution of a GCSE maths foundation paper: 6th November 2012 (Edexcel exam board). This is intended for revision purposes for pupils, allowing them to observe the methods used to work out the answers and gain a deeper understanding of the topic. They can use this resource as a reference point for attempting other papers. Each question is worked through methodically in a clear, concise manner with annotations explaining each step of the method.

This bundle is extremely useful as a revision aid for students taking GCSE foundation Maths exam. As well as being used to assist in revision in the build-up to the exam, it could also be used as a resource to regularly consult throughout the course. It contains a glossary of all key terms and vocabulary used throughout the course, a baseline test of all the key skills students need to have to pass the course and a model answer paper (non-calculator) with detailed explanations of the method used to get the answer.

This checklist lists every topic in the GCSE higher specification. There is an example question for each topic. Solutions are available - please email me at robertcleaver.26@gmail.com

This is the second of a four lesson teaching series looking at all the different aspects of linear graphs. This is generally a topic that is done very poorly in exams and one that pupils especially at KS3 struggle with. These lessons are designed for pupils at KS3. With weaker groups I tend to repeat lesson 2 twice (additional worksheet provided), but will not lower the challenge to help them understand properly! 1. Linear Graphs - Introduction2. Linear Graphs - Finding the equation of the Line3. Linear Graphs - Finding the gradient4. Linear Graphs - Further and ProblemsI reviewed this subject after one of my past year 8 group struggled on this profoundly and I think now in terms of pedagogy this is now one of my most organised, structured and effective teaching topics. Four lessons for some might feel a lot, but it is worth taking the time to really get to grips with this topic, especially considering it's understanding is still important at KS4 and KS5 maths. All lessons in this series include starters, lesson objectives, key words, very clear teaching examples, use of MWB, questions or worksheet with answers and plenaries. It also includes BLANK AXIS for questions so that pupils don't spend five minutes drawing axis's. NOTE: Feel free to browse my shop for more excellent free and premium resources, and as always please rate and feedback, thanks.
