A PowerPoint presentation and worksheet looking at converting between metric and imperial units. The examples and questions on worksheet have been created using real Guinness World Records. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
A set of activities and cards designed for AS Core students. The tasks build upon GCSE knowledge in a format of problem more suited to A-Level mathematics. The 'Do' and 'Justify' cards detail tasks for the students to complete whilst the 'Think' cards offer hints & useful ideas to consider.
Differentiated worksheet covering equivalents fractions - starting with basic pairs involving unitary fractions progressing up to word problems such as " I am a fraction with a denominator between 35 and 45. I am equivalent to 3/7. Who am I?". Suitable for KS2 and KS3.
Starter looking at how to describe basic algebraic expressions in words. Students need to match the expression with its description. Suitable for KS2, KS3 or lower ability KS4. Extension to this activity also available.
Differentiated worksheet giving students practice of collecting like terms in a variety of increasingly difficult expressions.
Suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4.
Starter looking at how to describe basic algebraic expressions in words. Students need to write worded descriptions for a range of algebraic expressions. Suitable for KS2, KS3 or lower ability KS4. Easier version of this activity requiring only matching is also available.
Quizzes involving 12 quick questions (and answers) covering the basic skills students need to know for their A-Level Core 3 & 4 exams such as trigonometric identities, binomial expansion, differentiation & integration of trigonometric functions & exponentials etc. More on their way . . .
All you need to create a minions-themed display giving your KS4 students helpful tips to prepare them for their GCSE Mathematics exams. Could be adapted to any age group.
A full lesson revising areas of 2D shapes, including circles and sectors, along with a little percentages too. Suitable for use with KS4 or KS3. Three different levels of lesson to cover all sets - 'red' is the easiest, then 'orange' with the 'green' lesson being the hardest. A good resource for general revision or use on Pi Day.
Loop cards requiring students to estimate calculations by first rounding the numbers involved to 1 significant figure. Could also be used as a treasure hunt around the classroom. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
Worksheet asking students to write equations of lines given gradients & intercept as well as identify the gradient and intercept given the equation. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
Functions revision game covering substituting values into functions i.e. f(3), solving functions and substituting into composite functions i.e. fg(4). Can be played in pairs or larger groups. Suitable for KS4 studying the new GCSE.
Card sort activity requiring students to decide whether one set of brackets has been expanded correctly (true) or not (false). Ideal starter or plenary activity.
Probability revision game covering theoretical probabilities, expected outcomes, sample space diagrams and two way tables. Can be played in pairs or larger groups. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
This is a display for a Mathematics classroom or corridor about the 2018 Winter Olympics including various questions for students to consider as they walk by. Photograph included to show how it can be put together.
Nice starter activity asking students to match expressions written using algebraic notation with their description given in words. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.
This worksheet is designed to help students investigate differentiation from first principles – using the gradients of chords (of ever decreasing length) to approximate the gradient of the curve at a given point.
