This hopefully covers all bases involving fractions, decimals and percentages from simplifying up to converting recurring decimals to fractions and everything inbetween.

A powerpoint taking you from chance and probability lines, listing outcomes, the probabiliy of an event not happening and tree diagrams.

This is designed to take the students from simple expanding a bracket to simple factorising to multiplying out two brackets to factorising quadratics to simplifying algebraic fractions to solving quadratics by completing the square to solving quadratics using the quadratic formula and simultaneous equations involving quadratics. There are questions for each as well as examples and explanations. Between each section there is a 'Where are you now?' section to show progress.

I wrote this for new students joining Year 8 to do over the summer (if they wanted to) given that they hadn’t attended school due to lockdown for a few months. Each of the twelve topics is typical Year 7 topics and each sheet is self-marking whether is forms an image, questions and answers match or a punchline to a joke, so students can work independently and ensure that they are not rusty in September. Topics include angles, area, averages, directed numbers, HCF/LCM, probability, properties of number, ratio, sequences, simplifying expressions, solving equations, substitution. If they get stuck, each sheet has a QR code that when scanned using a smartphone takes you to a short tutorial video. There are two activities for each topic (24 activities in total) and answers are provided; if printed out as a booklet the answers are on the reverse of the question sheet.

This set of resources (four PowerPoints and a booklet) are populated with Maths topics that often appear in school entrance exams to Year 9 having looked at numerous examples from various schools. The PowerPoints are split in to Number, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics & Probability and include worked examples and questions to do. The booklet contains questions and answers involving the topics covered in the PowerPoints.

This set of resources (four PowerPoints and a booklet) are populated with Maths topics that often appear in school entrance exams to Year 10 having looked at numerous examples from various schools. The PowerPoints are split in to Number, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics & Probability and include worked examples and questions to do. The booklet contains questions and answers involving the topics covered in the PowerPoints.

I wrote this for students entering Year 11 to do over the summer (if they wanted to) given that they hadn’t attended school due to lockdown for a few months. Each of the eleven topics is typical Year 10 higher topics and each sheet is self-marking whether is forms an image, questions and answers match or a punchline to a joke, so students can work independently and ensure that they are not rusty in September. Topics include algebraic fractions, completing the square, compound measures, cumulative frequency, functions, negative/fractional indices, proportion, simultaneous equations, surds, transformations, tree diagrams. If they get stuck, each sheet has a QR code that when scanned using a smartphone takes you to a short tutorial video. There are two activities for each topic (22 activities in total) and answers are provided; if printed out as a booklet the answers are on the reverse of the question sheet.

Twenty three "defuse the bomb" worksheets and answers on various topics including vectors, inequalities (solving, number lines and regions), shapes, bearings, rearranging formulae, transforming functions, trigonometry in right-angled triangles, similarity and surface area. These are self-marking to the extent that if their answer doesn't appear in the list of possible answers then they need to check what they've done which allows students to just get on and grow in confidence.

This is a powerpoint covering rounding from to whole numbers, decimal places and significant figures, then estimating calculations (including bounds) to standard form. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

These are all available for free individually but if you want the whole lot then here you are. These are part-QR codes that can be completed by answering various maths questions. All answers are binary (have two answers: yes/no, odd/even, true/false) and the instructions say which must be coloured. Each completed QR code then scans to a video in general (I believe a couple scan to pictures of me I think!) but it is a way of checking the answers.

All these are available individually for free but if you want them as a single bundle then here they are. They offer questions that form a joke and I use them as light relief from exam questions and text books or as homeworks, plenaries or starters.

All these are available for free but if you want them all in one hit then here you go. These can be used as a quick homework, plenary or starter and get students to find a punchline to a joke, a film or a song title whilst embedding their newly acquired knowledge.

A bunch of codebreakers (the usual terrible joke) having solved a load of algebra problems involving functions, arithmetic sequences, inequalities, substitution and other algebra topics. These can be used as a starter or plenary or even part of a main task in a lesson.

These are all available for free individually but if you don’t have the time then this is for you. Clive makes common mistakes, mistakes you’ll have seen in class. Your students need to find the mistakes, correct them and explain where Clive has gone wrong so that he doesn’t do the same thing again. These activities are designed to create discussion in class and can be used to assess understanding.

All these are available for free but if you want to download them in one bundle then this is for you. The activities ask increasingly harder questions as you go through and are designed to encourage discussion in class. I use them regularly and the students engage well with them.

All these are available for free but if you want them all from one place then here you go. Some Easter-themed maths worksheets including graphs, distance-time, simultaneous equations and others.

Each of these 21 worksheets has six questions and eight answers to choose from (this is to avoid students guessing the final answer/answers) so that Santa can rest two reindeer for each trip. I have covered all sorts of algebra topics from solving equations to linear graphs (including parallel and perpendicular lines), inequalities, algebraic fractions, simplifying expressions, linear sequences and substitution. I use these as quick starters/plenaries or as "prove you can do this" sheets. I have used them as quick homework tasks too. Answers are provided for each.

All these are available individually for free but if you want a bundle then this is for you. In this lots is a Maths Advent Calendar, two murder mysteries where you can input your own class’ names, a big quiz and some festive codebreakers ranging from easy to fairly tough. All come with answers.

This is a powerpoint covering all areas of Decision 1 (I realise they are only putting it in further maths from 2017). It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in.
