Set pairs (or two students and a singleton!) against each other to work their way across this Algebra revision board in the style of blockbusters. Can be laminated and written on or give students two alternate coloured highlighter pens, which gives you a visible guide as to their progress.

A two lesson set of notebook files covering finding the exterior and interior angles of regular polygons

A straightforward powerpoint to take students through the basics of rearranging formulae. The lesson starter involves solving equations to get students into the frame of mind to consider inverse operations. The powerpoint also includes some exam questions including more difficult examples where the subject appears twice. Some students might require some reminders on factorising and expanding within the lesson too.

Three examples of a sheet that I enlarge to A3 to give students general purpose revision on these topics. Most suitable for a lower ability GCSE or any KS3 maths class. The templates can be changed for any topic once youve used them.

Suitable for KS4 or able KS3 student this is an introduction to probability, with a discussionon the probability scale, through the basics of Tree usage, right upto using a tree for "without replacement" questions. There are opportunities for discussion and extension within the worksheet materials

A differentiated New Style GCSE lesson on expanding and simplifying expressions, with some work on expanding three binomials.

A revision PowerPoint designed for KS4 students. The starter concerns the product rule which is now included in the 9-1 scheme. The lesson progresses through basic completion of trees to wordy "without replacement" style questions. A simple plenary to draw out a misconception and to reinforce multiplication of independent events.

An exercise designed to recap or revise all areas of number work that involves HCF, LCM, Powers, Roots etc suitable for GCSE or KS3 students. I use this as an end of unit assessment and either make A3 sheets to share or individually as a homework. The answers will spell a question that then needs to be answered and can be modelled at the end of the lesson as a plenary. A simple extension task is to ask students to test each other and make their own codes - I have also set this for homework in the past.

A lesson to remind students how to classify types of number ideal for Ks3 or Ks4 Foundation GCSE. See my Free "Bingo" resource for an ideal starter or plenary depending on the group. The worksheets allows students to do a bit of fun shading, and likewise also introduces Venn Diagrams which have been added into the GCSE curriculum.

Suitable for a lesson activity or homework for a Foundation GCSE or KS3 teaching group. Students find the values, convert to letters and an easy progress check can be made by asking the students what it spells!

A complete lesson worksheet and starter activity for students to discover the link between length scale factor and the area/volume of similar shapes and/or solids. Could be split into Area for one lesson and then volume for the second.

A straightforward lesson on this essential skill with a differentiated worksheet, with a few non-monic equations, and some equations that need to be rearranged into the correct form first.

A lesson to introduce Quadratic sequences as part of the new 9-1 GCSE Content. I approach this topic by getting the students to generate n squared, 2n squared etc and find the second level difference for themselves rather than demonstrating this from the outset.

An investigative lesson where students can "discover" Pythagoras' theorem. Note - you will need to give each group of students a large number of accurately cut squares eg 6 x 6, 9 x 9 which I have not supplied. With prompting students should be able to establish and generalise not only that when the three squares form a right angled triangle, then when they dont form a right angle what this means with regards to the opposite angle!

A fully differentiated lesson on powerpoint and Word with notes to teach this topic from the ground up. Fun element of aligning algebra to the McDonald’s drive through and why we make terms simpler. Suitable for Year 6 upto GCSE foundation. With a misconception busting plenary.

A Note book file and starter to introduce students to this new skill which is part of the new Spec GCSE

A powerpoint (with an initial starter involving indices) that covers why we use surds, simplifying surds, multiplying and rationalising. I have been using this with Year 11 intervention groups. There are also some example exam style questions and problem solving tasks. You may need some additional work to turn this into even a two or three lesson block.

Differentiated lesson to establish the correct order of operations. Students can usually start anywhere on the first three columns, then brackets will need some explaining! Plenary of target number gives students the ability to be as easy or as complicated as they can with the "Target Number" sum to demonstrate learning

An activity designed for students working in teams. Initial starter on Whiteboard, then students must enter the correct codes into the excel spreadsheet (correct answers turn cells green) in order to be the best performing team. I only let the students input their answers into the spreadsheet three times during the lesson and only make one correction.

A clear and straightforward Notebook file to explain what these indices represent. Can be used in conjunction with GCSE textbook or suitable worksheet although there are plenty of examples on screen
