Full lesson based on expanding several sets of single brackets and simplifying answer. Mastery-style questions on worksheet with answers included. Aimed at KS3, from middle/high ability year 7 to lower ability year 9.

Complete lesson including powerpoint and worksheet about using percentages in a real life context, including mortgages, depreciation of goods and both simple and compound interest. Lesson is designed to be taught following a lesson on using single decimal multiplier for percentage increase and decrease and this is recapped at the beginning of this lesson. Taught to high ability Year 8 but could also be appropriate for KS4.

Full mastery lesson on recognising and continuing non-linear sequences. Recaps the difference between linear and nonlinear sequences and then covers geometric and ‘special’ nonlinear sequences, including square numbers and Fibonacci sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet and many challenge questions throughout lesson to stretch most able. Lesson is accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes. Plenary is quiz activity to engage students.

Full mastery lesson to introduce students to sequences topic. Covers what sequences are, continuing basic sequences in number and diagram form and predicting future terms in more complex sequences. Aimed at high ability KS2 and suitable for all year 7. Planned for a mixed ability class so many challenge questions to stretch most able and includes hints to scaffold for less able students. Worksheet includes intelligently varied questions so first questions build confidence and are accessible for all. Includes ‘relay’ plenary activity to review learning and encourage problem solving.

Full mastery lesson about finding missing terms in linear sequences. Focuses on using the constant difference of linear sequences to find one missing term and leads on to finding two consecutive missing terms in a sequence. Includes intelligently varied worksheet which gets progressively more difficult to stretch all students. Powerpoint includes many challenge questions to stretch most able and hints to support less able learners, making it accessible for most abilities across late KS2 and early KS3. Includes ‘quiz, quiz, trade’ activity to review all sequences work as this was taught as the last lesson in a topic.

Full mastery lesson on representing sequences, focusing on students’ ability to recognise and represent the same sequence in number, diagram, tabular and graphical form. Includes intelligently varied worksheets, as well as sheets of images from the powerpoint helpful for students to go through as examples. Planned for a mixed ability class, this resource includes challenge questions to stretch the most able and hints to scaffold for less able students, which also makes it accessible for late KS2 and early KS3 classes.

Powerpoint for introducing translations of shapes.The powerpoint includes teacher explanation of describing translations, including some challenge questions for more able students. Also covers vector notation for translations and includes multi-choice diagnostic-style questions. Powerpoint goes on to drawing translations. I do not own worksheets so not included. Designed for KS3 but also appropriate for KS4, to be taught as part of the transformations topic.

Complete lesson including examples, independent questions and answers. Builds on previous lessons that include substituting values into a table to produce a linear equation graphically. Includes step-by-step guidance about how to solve linear equations graphically. Designed for use with KS3 but could be suitable for some KS4.

Murder mystery resource, ideal for remote learning, includes clues and suspect list. Answers now also included. Designed for upper KS3 or KS4 as a retrieval activity. Clues include working with numbers in standard form, factorising quadratic expressions, fractions, decimals and percentages and general geometry questions.

Full lesson and mastery- style worksheet (including answers). Intended to be used after introducing and simplifying fractions. Uses bar modelling to show how fractions can be compared. Aimed at middle ability year 7 but also appropriate for KS2.

Full lesson on relating ratio to linear functions with worksheet and self/ peer assessment grids included. Brought in for the new AQA GCSE spec, it includes a model solution to a past AQA exam question but resource is also suitable for high ability year 9. Uses bar modelling to teach for understanding. Linked to sketching graph of linear functions for added challenge.

Whole lesson to introduce solving simultaneous equations (by bar model, moving onto just algebraic methods). Created for middle ability GCSE class who responded very well. Designed to be taught to students who have an understanding of solving basic linear equations. Step-by-step to explain process using bar model and algebra. Examples and a few questions for students to try.

Full mastery-style lesson covering division involving remainders (as decimals and fractions) which includes intelligently varied questions and challenges throughout. Designed to be used following a lesson on short division. Suitable for Key Stage 2 or 3, possibly even for lower ability KS4.

Complete lesson covering box plots. Designed for Year 9 but suitable for all of KS3 and KS4. This lesson covers everything about box plots, including drawing them from data, drawing from cumulative frequency curves and comparing box plots. All questions included are past exam questions.

Lesson based on using tables of values to find co-ordinates and plot linear graphs. Designed for KS3 who had already covered substitution into algebra and formulae. Could possibly be useful for KS4 classes.

Mastery-style worksheet aimed at simplifying expressions using algebra tiles. Ideal to introduce students to using algebra tiles. Questions are intelligently varied, getting progressively more difficult and include a ‘challenge’ section where answers are then substituted into more complex questions. Images of algebra tiles are shown so no need to have the physical manipulatives to hand. Designed for upper KS2 and KS3 with little knowledge of algebra.

Full lesson but worksheets not included (not owned by me). Begins with KS2 level, moving through to equivalent fractions. Mastery style lesson.

Full lesson including questions built in. More mastery-style questions provided as extension worksheet (including answers). Intended to be used following collecting like terms and simplifying algebraic expressions. Suitable for KS3 and lower ability KS4.

Full lesson including worksheet. Aimed at middle ability year 7.
