A great introductory or revision lesson on factors, primes and multiples.
Lots of interactive activities and good explanations.
Includes a grid puzzle and a worksheet / homework sheet.
A couple of lessons on related calculations (e.g. if we know 4 x 6 = 24 what is 0.4 x 6?) Presentation is fully animated. Also contains worksheets with practice questions
Full lesson on risk. Includes talk-inducing starter, risk diagrams, practice questions, risk matrix and problem solving questions. Great for students who like to work in groups or pairs.
An activity where students must decide which graph is best to represent different types of data (comparing bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts). A great opportunity to help students get into the habit of justifying their answers with mathematical reasoning.
A presentation and worksheet introducing matrix transformations of points.
The worksheet is particularly useful as it will help students in future to help identify the relationship between the matrix and the geometrical transformation.
I used this with Y11 Level 2 Further Maths students but would be great for Y12 too.
A presentation recapping negative and fractional indices and introducing solving equations with negative and fractional indices. Lots of example questions WITH ANSWERS!
A resource for teaching or revising multiplication of decimals by integers. includes a starter on multiplying numbers by a single digit, some example questions and worded problems.
A lesson including worksheets for estimating with measurements. Suitable for low ability KS3 but would also suit KS2. A really fun and interactive lesson which many of my students have enjoyed in the past - especially great for students who work well in small groups and while moving around the classroom.
A resource for memorising the averages mean, median, mode and also range (the classic poem). Presentation is set up to cover up a few words at a time so students can learn it by heart. Works great getting them to recite it aloud. Also a few practice questions at the end.
A handy worksheet on converting FDP which reminds students of the method used to do each skill an some practice questions. Works great as a "pick and mix" i.e. the students choose which sheets to do depending on which skill they need to practice. Also includes a section on ordering decimals and an extension task.
A really fun and unusual lesson using a piece of sheet music to collect data using a tally chart, interpret from a tally chart, present the data in a bar chart and pie chart and further interpret the data using a real-life question. Very enjoyable and no knowledge or prior understanding of sheet music needed. Also Christmas themed (the song used is Jingle Bells) so great for engaging students at that time of year.
A resource for teaching or revising addition and subtraction of decimals. Includes a section to be done on whiteboards, animated explanations for different situations, practice questions and problem solving question to finish.
A resource for teaching or revising multiplication by a single digit (e.g. 24 x 5, 128 x 3) . Was written for short multiplication method but could easily be adapted to other methods. Includes explanation, example questions and worded problems.
A resource for teaching or revising short division. Written with the Bus Stop Method in mind but could easily be adapted to other methods. Includes a starter, division rules, practice questions (for use with whiteboards) each of which has an extension, and RAG Test Yourself. Great differentiation throughout.
Resource for teaching income tax. Works well if (before this lesson) you ask students to research Income Tax as homework an bring their findings. For activity 1 I gave each student a card with a job title and salary on it (easy to recreate or they could make one up themselves, or look it up if in a computer room or they are allowed to use phones). Also includes some interpretation and evaluation and an exam question plenary.
