This resource is for KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation, a worksheet plus two handouts. One handout is a matching exercise for students. (IT NEEDS TO BE CUT UP!) The other handout is a summary of what students can and cannot do when solving linear inequalities. The lesson starts with revision of solving equations. The idea of the solution to an inequality being a range of values is then explained as well as how students can solve inequalities. There is a matching exercise where students re-build solutions that have been cut up before solving two-part inequalities. There are two further parts to the lesson: three-part inequalities and integer solutions. In each case, an example is given before students complete an exercise of questions.

The resource is for KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The example and questions involve using the sum of angles for a shape to form an equation, then to solve the angle, to substitute the solution into the expressions for angles and to then draw a conclusion from the angles of the shape.

This resource is for KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation and worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to the questions. The starter asks students to number the possible outcomes from two events. The idea of using a table to represent the sample space is then introduced as is the ability to extract probabilities from the table. The first question on the worksheet is structured to lead students through the process. Subsequent questions are unstructured.

The resource is for high ability KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter, examples and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. Students learn that there can be no, one or two solutions and that each solution consists of corresponding x and y values. Students are shown how to solve simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other is that of a circle USING ALGEBRA. (There is another version using graphs).

This resource is for all KS4 students and teaches them how to tackle a common GCSE problem solving question. This lesson teaches students to tackle problems involving measuring a volume, calculating the number of items required and the cost of purchasing these items. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes examples and fully worked solutions for the questions on the worksheet. The lesson is structured so that students start with easier two-stage problems involving finding volume and then cost, before tackling the harder three-stage questions.

This resource is for KS4 students, who struggle with algebra. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all questions on the worksheet. The lessons teaches students how to solve problems involving two shopping baskets and their costs. The questions are NOT turned into algebraic equations. Instead students are taught how to solve the problems through argument. The lesson is structured, starting with questions where one basket has only one sort of item and ending with questions where both baskets need to be multiplied.

This resource is for all KS4 students and teaches them how to tackle a common GCSE problem solving question. This lesson teaches students to tackle problems involving measuring a surface area, calculating the number of items required and the cost of purchasing these items. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes examples and fully worked solutions for the questions on the worksheet. The lesson is structured so that students start with easier two-stage problems involving finding surface area and then cost, before tackling the harder three-stage questions.

This lesson teaches students to tackle problems involving measuring a perimeter, calculating the number of items required and the cost of purchasing these items. The lesson includes examples and fully worked solutions for the questions on the worksheet.

This resource is for high ability KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all questions on the differentiated worksheet. The lesson teaches students to calculate the expected revenue and costs from games of chance such as ‘The Crown and Anchor’. They can then estimate the expected profit or loss.

This resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. the presentation includes worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The lesson revises finding missing probabilities and takes students into the concept of exhaustive and non-exhaustive events.

This resource is for KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation consists of a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The starter involves finding the area of a semi-circle and a quarter-circle. Students then find the area of more complex shapes by separating composite shapes into shapes with known formulae for their area or by subtracting the area of one shape from another.

This resource is for KS3 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to the questions on the worksheet. The starter revises finding the mean from a set of observations. Students then learn how to find the missing observation using the mean that they are given. There are a couple of extension questions, including one for which students need to use all three averages to find a set of observations.

This resource is for KS4 students who are working towards the Foundation paper. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. Worked solutions to the worksheet are included. Students learn to compare prices by calculating the full price when offers involve instalments, discounts and prices are quoted before VAT is applied.

This lesson is for KS4 students. Finding percentages and fractions of amounts are revised and then used to find the total costs of packages after fractional and percentage discounts have been subtracted. Worked solutions to the worksheet are included.

This lesson is for KS3 students. Before teaching students how to find the averages from frequency tables, I get them to deconstruct some tables, that is listing the raw data and using that raw data to find the averages and range. Worked solutions to the worksheet is included.

This resource follows on from ‘KS3 Algebraic Proof’. The resource consists of two lesson presentations and accompanying worksheets or handouts. The idea of algebraic proof is extended to include any two numbers and not just consecutive numbers. This is in the lesson ‘3. Any Two Numbers’ with the accompanying worksheet. Work done in this lesson is then used in ‘4. Sometimes Always Never’ with its accompanying activity. The lesson presentations contain worked solutions for all activities and questions.

The resource is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes examples and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. The functional problems involving volume include stacking smaller boxes in a larger box, finding into which category packages fall and evaluating cost.

The lesson is for KS4 students. The resource consists of a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter and worked solutions to all the questions on the worksheet. Students learn how to solve simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other quadrilateral USING GRAPHS. (There is another version using algebra). The first question on the structured worksheet gives students both the straight line and a quadratic graph. Later questions expect students to draw the straight line graph.
