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 is a starter I wanted to use with higher level GCSE students. 32 questions using a mix of zero, negative and fractional indices. The powerpoint is not locked so that slides may be re-ordered, deleted or added to. This is an big and colourful starter but is also very challenging in places. Questions include : 4 to the power of negative one half 16 to the power of negative three over two 1000 to the power of two thirds etc. Some of the questions are quite demanding !!!

This Powerpoint asks 20 questions “Identify which single tranformation maps…” I have used enlargement by positive, negative and fractional scale factors, Reflection in vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines as well as rotation and translation. This took a tremendous amount of work and is ideal for revision of transformation at GCSE.

The Equation of a Line - Powerpoint Presentation

(0)
This is two Powerpoint presentations, one for foundation level / Key stage 3 and the second is for higher level - they all show a line and asks for the equation of the line. In the first presentation he y intercept is always given so this reduces the it to Foundation Level at GCSE or Key Stage 3. The second presentation is higher level only as the intercept is not given and it includes questions involving perpendicular lines. There are over 30 straight line graphs, different scales have been used as well as negative gradients, vertical and horizontal lines. Great as a starter - slides can be removed if you wish.

Straight line graphs for foundation level - With Answers

This started out as a quiz or lesson starter but I developed it on into something much more useful. There are two questions, each has 26 parts covering everything that a foundation level student needs to know about straight line graphs and their equations. Most students enjoy the short question which are not too demanding but I’ve tried to bring out a salient point with as many questions as I could. In total there are 52 questions which can be used as a starter, homework exercise or a revision exercise. ****Answers are included. I hope you find them useful.

Equally Likely Events - with answers

This is a basic worksheet covering the introduction to Probability I wished to stress the basic facts that examiners expected candidates to know, such as how many cards in a standard deck? which letters are vowels as well as number properties. So I created this worksheet to cover as many of these ideas as possible. I have found it useful for the introduction of Probability and also some revision at foundation level. ****Answers are included.
