I have been a teacher for over 20 years - all the stuff I upload has been tried and tested in my classroom. I don't mind a discussion on Twitter too where I also share new resources. I now have a personal website: https://andylutwyche.com/

Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics

Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics

(73)
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.
Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

(22)
Three "spiders" containing increasingly difficult questions moving from just reading the graph through calculating distance travelled to calculating acceleration.
Distance-Time Graph Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Distance-Time Graph Spiders

(12)
Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.
Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

(10)
This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.
Exploding Simultaneous Equations
alutwychealutwyche

Exploding Simultaneous Equations

(8)
This is a set of 6 sheets of increasingly difficult simultaneous equations designed to make students think and discuss how to work through their solutions by giving them different parts of the process. They include simultaneous equations that involve a linear and a non-linear equation. This is also designed to stretch at GCSE or could be used at the start of A level.
Function Notation Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Function Notation Matching

(5)
Eight matching activities that encourage discussion in class involving substituting into functions, inverses and composite functions. These would work as a starter/plenary or as a revision lesson on function notation.
GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation
alutwychealutwyche

GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation

(115)
This is a revision activity either to be done in small groups or individually. There are the following rounds: Number, Algebra, Shape and Space, Date Handling, Using and Applying. All have 10 questions worth one point each except the Using and Applying round where there are 5 questions worth 3 points each, where workings must be given.
Recognising Graphs
alutwychealutwyche

Recognising Graphs

(4)
A PowerPoint with three graphs drawn on each of 8 slides of increasing challenge, moving from linear through to quadratics, cubics, reciprocals and exponential graphs. On each slide there are equations to match to each graph plus extra equations so that it adds more challenge; there is a blank grid so that the equations that don’t match can be sketched.
Surface Area and Volume Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Surface Area and Volume Spiders

(6)
Six spiders on surface area and volume (3 of each) and a final "problems" spider. They are of increasing difficulty, moving from cubes and cuboids to prisms to cones, spheres and pyramids. These are designed to avoid students getting into a rut of performing a mathematical recipe by asking a mixture of finding surface area/volume to working backwards. These usually encourage discussion in class.
Trigonometry In Non-Right-Angled Triangles Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Trigonometry In Non-Right-Angled Triangles Matching

(2)
Five matching activities involving the Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and finding the area of a triangle using trigonometry. These are designed to show learning/demonstrate understanding whether as a starter or plenary but could be used all together as a lesson's main activity.
The Number Games
alutwychealutwyche

The Number Games

(7)
A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams. It's supposed to be non-calculator! I may do a sequel for this as there are a few topics I haven't covered.
Inequalities Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Inequalities Spiders

(13)
This is designed to make students think about representing inequalities on a number line, listing integers (directly and having simplified) and regions. They are split this way to allow you to start/stop wherever you feel your class needs to. The number lines and graphs are as big as I can make them!
