Covers identifying products and sums, factorising when coefficient of x^2 is 1, when it is more than 1 and difference of 2 squares. Full examples and solutions given to all questions.
Useful for KS3 &KS4

Aimed at stronger pupils on GCSE/IGCSE and pupils starting year 12. Probably enough content for 2 lessons.
covers arithmetic means, nth terms, recursive and explicit terms
Also delves into sum of an arithmetic series (without referring to sigma, I intend to bring that in after geometric series have been done)
all answers are provided

(have amended an error on this and added an extra discussion point)
Pythagoras theorem lesson with multiple activities.
lesson consists of how the theorem is known, how to find the hypotenuse and how to find the shorter sides.
Each section broken down with examples and follow up work. Challenge questions include linking the area of the triangles.
Activities include 2 worksheets with answers built into the powerpoint. Wordsearch of the key words and a mixed question type treasure hunt that would cater to paired work well.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Please leave feedback.

have now added some further challenging questions
16 question relay task aimed at KS3 pupils based around Christmas.
Covers a variety of topics, good as a revision fun lesson for the end of term whilst still having maths in it.
easy to adapt answers included
hope you enjoy, please leave feedback
Aimed at KS4 suitable for KS5 IB SL questions powerpoint on solving simultaneous equations which have a quadratic as one of the equations.
fully worked examples, questions with answers included. Discussion points built into presentation

Covering solving simultaneous linear equations using elimination and substitution methods. Also activities covering quadratic simultaneous equations. All the resources you will need to cover this topic.
Aimed at KS3 and 4 (the quadratics would also work for IB SL students).
Each presentation includes fully worked examples and questions with all answers provided. Opportunities for discussions and paired/group work.
Extra activities include 2 jigsaws, 4 loop activities (also ideal as treasure hunt style activities) and a quiz built around identifying the solutions from a multiple choice.

hope you find my work useful.
a series of increasing complexity Pythagoras questions including some with links to area and perimeter
non calculator activity answers can be in surd form
solutions provided
Great for and end of term or return to school activity
In teams of 2 or 3 a fun relay with challenging questions allowing the pupils to still be pushed and review several topics at the same time.
Takes 50 minutes on average to complete so a full lesson can be had from this
questions all relate to the tour de france and cover probability, speed/distance/time, ratio averages
answers included, pupils always enjoy the element of competition
(easy to adapt, I allow 2 marks per question. I get the pupils to pick 2 numbers before the start, have one worth 10 marks and only 1 attempt, the other loses all previous correct marks if they get it wrong on their only attempt at it)
hope you enjoy it

Whole topic covered on similar shapes
Starts with lengths and scale factors moves on to links between scale factors for length area and perimeter.
The ppt can be used as either a single lesson or as two lessons as more than enough work in there for it.
Several discussion tasks built into the powerpoint
Worked examples, definitions worksheets (with full answers) and 2 treasure hunts which can run parallel to avoid having people follow each other as easily.

treasure hunt style activity for quadratic sequences
pupils given the sequence have to find the expression
second of 2 treasure hunts on quadratic sequences would go together well to have pupils on different loops
please leave feedback on how to improve
3 treasure hunts all made for teaching compound interest
first is finding the multiplier based on the question
second is finding the answer after depreciation or appreciation
third is find the term when given the rate and the final conditions.

10 tasks all connected with y=mx+c
5 treasure trails and 5 matching activity (the matching activities are all on 1 document and are easily adaptable to straight forward worksheet)
1) Gradient and Intercept when given the equation (some rearranging needed)
2) Equations of parallel and perpendicular lines
3) Coordinates of midpoints and endpoints
4) Length of line between two coordinates
5) Equation of a line from a pair of coordinates
easily to mark answers given
let me know if you want any more on this or any other topic.

First presentation on simultaneous equations covering the elimination method.
Includes fully worked examples, thinking activities, paired tasks, discussion activity and practicing the tasks
All answers are included.
would work well with the simultaneous equations substitution
hope you find it useful
