I am now a retired teacher having taught for over 40 years in the UK at secondary level. I wanted to share my love of Mathematics and teaching by providing a good set of resources which will more than cover all your needs for as many topics as I can and at good value for money. I am trying to cover many topics from foundation level GCSE up to grade 9 at higher level in a way that is interesting and relevant. I hope you like my style !

This pdf covers everything needed to teach, practice or revise G.P.'s for ‘A’ level. 20 full questions (30+ questions including sub-questions in total) getting progressively harder over two pages. I always found G.P. questions difficult to write as the numbers get so big / small so quickly and become unmanageable so I wrote this one and it has done a great job over the years. Formulae needed are given on the sheet and answers are included. This is as good as they get before attempting full ‘A’ level questions. Answers are included Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

Volume and Surface area of simple prisms for KS3 - with answers

(0)
This is a set of questions that I wrote to teach volume and / or surface area of cubes, cuboids and triangular prisms. The first few questions are essential for all students but the latter ones become difficult and I would set these as a challenge or maybe give each question to a group of children to discuss. I have included a simple table of densities as I would use the same set of questions when covering densities. - Which is heavier solid A made of Brass or solid B made of Steel etc. A simple worksheet but it will save you hours in preparation. Answers are provided as usual Please give feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you

Miscellaneous Series for Grade A / B with Answers

(0)
This is a bonus sheet of around 20 questions that I felt was necessary for higher grades at A level. Each question needs a bit more thought than simply following the routines and applying formulae. This set of questions are tricky but really well thought out - I have avoided large text problems - you need to get these from past papers so kept them brief but searching. Included is the A.Ps and G.Ps fact sheet too. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

Problems involving A.P.s and G.P.s + Answers

(0)
This pdf consists of 7 problems with Arithmetic and / or Geometric series in context. I have included an A.P and G.P fact sheet which may prove useful. Problems like this are not too common at ‘A’ level but they need to be taught so I always covered these 7 main points. A problem in context throws up interpretation problems which cannot occur with just algebra. I think this is an invaluable lesson. Answers are included.

Sampling and Sampling Methods - Notes for teachers and students with Questions

(0)
I have taught Statistics from GCSE level all the way up to Undergraduate level and have files of notes and questions that I have accumulated over the years and recently was asked to post my notes on Sampling as many students don’t get the finer points and most textbooks don’t cover them either. So here they are - I don’t think that the telephone directory is relevant so much to todays methods but have left it in for completeness. Hope that you find them useful.

Integration Using Logarithms - 20 Questions With Answers
happymathematicianhappymathematician

Integration Using Logarithms - 20 Questions With Answers

(0)
This is a useful set of questions that every ‘A’ level student should be aware of. Although they can all be integrated by substitution, every student should be aware that f’(x)/f(x) integrates to give ln(fx) - and I always taught this as a sideline to the method of substitution - this crops up on exam papers every year without fail and students should be able to recognise it immediately. I have written 20 questions to practice this and all have answers - of the form that I would expect my students to give. I hope you find it useful. Please give feedback. particularly if you like my work - thank you. Answers are provided.

Not a wonderful resource but some may find a use for it. Write two numbers in the circles and see if they can score a goal by identifying anything between those numbers. I used it for fractions but don’t forget decimals and negatives. Obviously try to miss the goalkeeper !!

GCSE Calculator Practice (challenge) - With Answers

(0)
This is a great challenge aimed at higher level students who need to know how to use all the functions on their calculator. This is a PDF of 2 questions, each with 26 parts, which I set as a challenge to all students sitting higher level GCSE. Although the focus is on the use of a calculator I couldn’t resist including some estimation (throughout Q1) and approximations Q1 and Q2 just to top it off. No student has ever achieved 100% on these questions though I was always really pedantic in marking. Answers are included. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you
