Finding the nth term of a linear sequence
Used as a homework but could easily be used in a lesson.
Two Step Function Machines; KS3 maths
Grids that use different two step function machines as a lead up to working with expressions.
Used with Y7 and Y8.
Factorising Quadratics Challenge
This is an extension sheet I made for consolidation with factorising: linear, quadratic, difference of two squares and finally simplifying fractions.
ANSWERS included.
Triangle Construction Jigsaw
This resource can be used with KS3/KS4 and all abilities that are able to construct triangles.
I thought the idea of a jigsaw would add something different to this topic.
This idea means they have to be very accurate if they want their jigsaw to work.
Problem solving is also needed to match the triangles.
Time Treasure Hunt
A treasure hunt activity that covers analogue, digital, reading timetables and cinema listings.
Used with bottom set Y8.
Properties of a Circle
Worksheet were pupils can label the;
Circumference, Radius, Diameter, Chord, Tangent, Sector, Segment, Arc.
There is also areas for the written definitions of these words and extension questions.
BIDMAS: Christmas
5 Christmas words coded using BIDMAS and then anagrams to work out.
Answers provided.
After Review typos have been amended.
Treasure Hunt: Addition and Subtraction
This is an addition and subtraction treasure hunt that is aimed at Y7 and below.
There are two different hunts that cover the higher and lower abilities that a class may contain.
Fractions: All operations. Disney and Marvel
I have found that the topic of fractions is always something the students do not really like from the moment you say the word so I wanted to come up with a way to teach fractions to all ages and abilities in a way they would enjoy.
In this resource is a pack of 32 fractions each with a popular character. Personally I have them laminated and cut out into little cards.
There are worksheets which cover:
1. Equivalent Fractions - Addition - Subtraction (ANSWERS)
2. Multiplying and Dividing (inc cross canceling)
There is also a notebook file to use in the teaching and questioning part at the beginning/end.
Differentiated Averages Starter with Problem Solving
This is a starter activity on all averages and range. It includes 4 levels of challenge and includes two sections of problem solving and has all answers.
Disney Christmas Problem Solving: Simultaneous Equations
The Disney characters have combined and need to be solved. Can be done using full algebra for higher ability and just by inspection and trail and error for the lower sets. Full answers.
Merry Christmas
This is a part of my Christmas Problem Solving pack :)
Christmas Problem Solving: HCF LCM
Christmas themed worded HCF LCM problems. Three levels of difficulty. Answers included.
Merry Christmas
Part of my Christmas Bundle.
Algebra Vocabulary
Too many students do not know the difference between an expression, equation and formula to name but a few so here is a worksheet were pupils fill in the missing gaps for the words associated with Algebra .
Term, expression, equation, identity, formula, coefficient, variable.
Used with Y7-Y11.
Scatter Graph Investigation Lesson: Disney, Movies.
This is a full lesson if not two lessons on scatter graphs. Differentiated investigation of three hypothesis' relating to Disney, movies and actors.
Included:
Power point with starter, discussions, practice questions and investigation setup. ALL Answers.
Three sets of data for the three investigations.
Pre made axes for full support or partial support.
Full answers.
Differentiated Starter : Simplify Expand Factorise
This is a starter activity on all algebraic manipulation. It includes 4 levels of challenge and includes all answers.

Disney: How much does your name cost?
This is a starter activity I use with my lower sets and would be perfect with KS1/2 also.
The idea is to have it as a mental addition activity but can be used in as many ways as you can think of :)

Treasure Hunt Numeracy
This is a 15 questions self answering numeracy treasure hunt.
You can start at any question so I tend to get the students to work in pairs then having stuck the questions around the room they start at the nearest question to them physically.
This is aimed at higher KS3/KS4 (I have used it with Y7 as well but it is about knowing your group)
Includes all elements of numeracy and problem solving.
Gradient and Intercept Investigation
A worksheet that practices using a table to plot straight lines then uses the similarities and differences to compare with the equation of the line and eventually lead to gradient and intercept with y=mx+c.
F1 Race Algebra
This is an investigation into the race position of formula 1 drivers. I have used this on interview lessons with great success.
The lesson revolves around substitution into a set of instructions. Then investigating why it doesn't matter where you start from you always get the same finishing line up.
Ultimately the top end students will be able to show algebraic proofs to prove it all works, while the lower students will get practice with substitution.
This pack includes:
Full powerpoint with starter-questioning-examples of the worksheet-plenary and ANSWERS.
A good plenary I use is to get a student to show their proof while the others make sure no mistakes are being made.
