Here is a "mind map" of all of the gcse topics students need to know for the GCSE maths exam. There is a foundation and higher version. (For an editable version visit my website! https://www.missbanks.co.uk/revision-checklists)

We are starting to see more and more questions at GCSE asking students to spot and correct the mistake made. Clumsy Clive and Erica’s errors problems by @andylutwyche for are a perfect way to tackle this and I have edited and collated them togther. “Erica has made some silly mistakes on her homework. Your students’ task is to find the errors, correct them and explain what Erica has done incorrectly. This should generate discussion in class.”

We are really estimating.

Complete lesson on investigating the angles in polygons. Ideal for a higher ability class that need focus on the formulae and where they come from / a recap of exterior and interior angles.

Complete lesson on combining transformations. Includes: > Starter - run the powerpoint and it will animate all 4 transformations at once! Discuss with students which transformation each one is showing and congruence. > 2 full examples on combination of transformations. Students have a worksheet to follow along with. Just click through the slides and each step of working will appear on the board. When it comes to the rotation, you can grab and rotate the tracing paper to show students how to do this. Also goes through identifying the overall transformation as a stretch activity. > I added in a worksheet I found on TES on combined transformations as the main activity of the lesson. > Mini review question on combined transformations. I get the students to complete it then I collect them in and give them feedback for them to stick into their books.
