A student friendly resource for drawing and interpreting line graphs which progresses. There are 6 available typical questions to plot and interpret. There is enough here for a lesson. This is suitable for KS3 and KS4.

A very student friendly resource solving simultaneous equations graphically (8 questions). I made this because I was struggling to find any resource that just allow the students to practice the skill without having to get them to draw a graph or having the issue with the equations not crossing. I taught this by setting x = 0 and finding the y value. The equations are nice to work with when set to zero. This resource will save you a lot of time and effort.

This lesson is suitable for lower and upper ability students. The work is differentiated and I have taught this to a mixed ability class. I have put bar model into the questions (its a fantastic method of teaching ratio). Suitable for both KS3 and KS4 The lesson focus's on the following skills and the worksheet is structured this way: First section - Sharing out amounts - boxes are used for visual representation (bar model) Section section - Given the ratio and the quantity, students are to find the other quantity (bar model) Third section - Students are to find the totals given the ratio and a quantity (bar model) Fourth section - This is a mixture of questions and students are to construct bar models There is assessment opportunities to measure the progress at the start and at the end of the lesson. The starter Is basic division which I find works very well to settle students down quickly at the start of a lesson. A lesson plan is attached explaining how I have gone about it.

Here are two very structured worksheets on compound area. The first worksheet is for only rectangles. The first section focuses on finding the area of plain rectangles. The second section puts two rectangles together and students are to fill in the missing lengths. The third section, students are to split up the rectangles themselves. The second worksheet is for rectangles and triangles with the same structure as the first worksheet. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 This resource will help any ability student. Attached is the answers. Please leave feedback :)

A very constructed first lesson on surds. I had a lesson observation and needed to teach surds, due to its nature, it can be difficult to think about differentiation, progress, teamwork and at the same time, keeping it constructive. I thought about all of this and the lesson was a success ensuring every student achieved something from my set learning outcomes. I recently taught it again for another lesson observation and it didn't disappoint me. Starter - Square roots and factors (prior knowledge) Pair activity - Identifying surds Main worksheet activity - Fully differentiated Lesson plan - I have put lots of thought and detail into this lesson. Assessment - Progress is checked at the start of the lesson and at the end (use mini whiteboards) ppt - activInspire. All answers to worksheet are included. This lesson will focus on rewriting surds, simplifying surds and progressing to add/subtract them.

A constructive worksheet for calculating the surface area of a cylinder. This can be used as a handout that students do whilst your explaining the steps. What do you think? Please leave feedback.

Everything you need for a lesson observation is here. This is a very constructive lesson that you will not be disappointed with. This is an active inspire flipchart with worksheets. Starter - Basic Scale Factor for enlargement of squares, rectangles and triangles with answers provided. Discussion 1 - The starter links for discussing what similarity is from the shapes they enlarged. Students are shown two shapes and are asked if they are similar and why. This being that the lengths have been multiplied by the same number (SF) meaning they are similar. Identifying similarity, congruency and none is discussed here. Activity 1 - Pair activity identifying similarity, congruency and none + answers Discussion 2 - Identifying Scale factor from two shapes given they are similar. Working out SF and finding missing lengths. Challenging similar triangle shapes included for discussion. Activity 2 - Differentiated worksheet task covering all of the above. - Calculating SF - Finding missing lengths using SF - Finding missing lengths for complex triangle similar shapes Answers included Plenary - Provides a link to the real world or to test them against the GCSE question at the start to demonstrate good progress

I have started with simple calculations by making numbers the subject first and then progressing onto letters. There is a good 3 to 4 lessons here which I believe covers everything to do with rearranging (including factorising expressions). Please see the preview, this will show you what the slides will look like for the tasks the pupils will be doing. This is fully loaded with examples for you, tasks for the students and of course, answers for everything! Please note that this is an activ-inspire flipchart, you will require Promethean boards in your school to allow this to work. There are no worksheets because everything is on this flipchart, 50 slides!

Contains a starter, explanations, worksheets and answers. Questions get progressively harder.

Here is a very constructive differentiated student resource that contains visual representations for how we divide fractions. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 Starter - Prior knowledge for multiplying fractions and converting mixed fractions to top heavy Assessment opportunities to measure the progress at the start of the lesson to the end. ActivInspire slides demonstrating the visual representations, explanations and answers (fractional parts can be visually moved to show one fitting into another) Paired activity - they get the chance to work on questions that contain dividing fractions with pictures. It offers a great opportunity for coming up with their own rule, they come so close working in pairs but sharing with the class, they figure it out which is what you and your observer wants, not you telling them the rule. Differentiated worksheet task - Suitable for all learners. Contains mixed fractions division and written questions higher ability as well as basic questions for weaker students. The Plenary is used to measure the progress from the start of the lesson - mini white board. This activity is also done at the start to show your observer what the students have learnt from the lesson. A descriptive lesson plan explaining everything you need to do. I have used this several times and hasn't disappointed me.

I was fed up of just telling my students to multiply across, add this column, add that column, divide this column by the total of that one and there is the mean... This is what I ended up making: Starter - Students are asked to calculate the mean from a set of numbers (10 people who were asked how many pets they owned). Easy numbers to divide, straight forward. At this point, I like to demonstrate exactly what mean is How many pets do these people have? "Instead of saying this person has 2 pets, this person has 3 pets, this person has 1 pet etc... we just want one number, an average number called the mean which we just worked out" Main - The starter links straight into the main where the data is sorted into a frequency table and it's demonstrated how we get the same answer working from this table. I really break up the process and go through the whole "add them up" highlighting each of the same numbers and showing that we multiply across, students clearly see where things come from (see my cover image). On top of this, I have included 5 questions where students sort data into the frequency tables and find the mean (very structured and you can explain why they are multiplying across, adding and dividing). I have a section for just finding the mean from numbers in case some students need to work on finding mean from numbers. I also have a section for calculating mean from a plain frequency tables when your students really get the idea (so there is differentiation). I did this lesson with a weak year 8 class and they got a lot out of it. I highly recommend this, you won't be disappointed. One of my best resources. Answers are all included. Attached is an activInspire flipchart and worksheets.

These worksheets will give your students good practice for drawing box plots from given data.

10 questions to keep your students busy. Students are to sort data into frequency tables, then draw a bar chart from the table. They are then to use the bar chart to find the mode and the range. These worksheets progress from ungrouped data to grouped data. The tables use tally charts to keep track of sorting. Excellent resource to use with any class.

Constructive lesson observation, friendly explanations, worksheets and lesson plan. As the students work through the polygons finding the number of triangles, they will clearly be able to identify and spot the pattern for subtracting 2. Starter - Prior knowledge and keywords (word search) Main worksheet 1 - finding sides, triangles and angle sum Main worksheet 2a - Puzzle for matching 'written polygons' with triangles and angle sum (Get your form to cut them out for the last 3 minutes) Main worksheet 2b - Extension tasks - finding missing angles, finding regular interior angles, working backwards and expressions. ppt/activinspire - constructive solid lesson with learning outcomes, explanations and answers The lesson consists of 3 assessment opportunities (beginning, middle and end/plenary to measure progress from the start)

Everything you need for a lesson observation lesson is here. You won't be disappointed. Lesson plan Starter and extension Assessment card sort activity (differentiated) Further assessment Worksheet activity Plenary All this is attached including the ppt. I taught this to a mixed ability class and every student achieved for my set learning outcomes. This resource is aimed at all KS3 and KS4 students.

Here is a few lessons with many resources for constructing frequency tables. The slides show how we can construct a frequency table from paragraphs. The starter gets the students working straight away and progresses from ungrouped to grouped data. I have attached some more worksheets that you students can do with you whilst your going through the problems on the board. I have done all the hard work for you. Many, many questions and click button answers at the ready. Suitable for both KS3 and KS4 Starter Main worksheet A Main worksheet B Go through resources ActivInspire flipchart Lesson plan - Teep new format

Here is a lesson I put together for a lesson observation and received lots of credit. There are two options of starters (I personally would pick the T-shirt starter). The lesson is differentiated to ensure all learners progress. The lesson is suitable for both KS3 and KS4. Starter Starter 2 optional Main worksheet differentiated Extra challenge questions Flipchart with suitable examples, assess and show progression Detailed lesson plan

Differentiated worksheet First page - Plotting equations (positive), i.e y = 3x + 2 Second page - Plotting equations (negatives), i.e y = -2x + 1 Third page - Plotting equations (fractions), i.e. y = -1/2x + 3 I have also attached some past GCSE questions

Constructive lesson that is student friendly. Starter - This is asking the students to write down what whole numbered co-ordinates are passing through an equation of a line. Prior knowledge to help. Section A - Simple with no axes and just focuses on positive gradient to build students confidence Section B - progresses with axes but still focuses on positive gradient Section C - This section focuses on negative gradient with axes Section D - This is a mixture for positive and negative gradient with axes Section E - This section is about finding gradient when the scales change, students need to think more about what they are doing. ActivInspire flipchart consisting of examples, explanations and answers to all worksheet questions. Suitable for KS3 and KS4

Starter - Prior knowledge The first part of the lesson focus’s on the rule for a parallelogram and calculating its area. The second part of the lesson includes algebra to find missing lengths. The plenary is a typical GCSE question. Please leave me your thoughts and comments as I can make improvements. I have used activ-inspire flipchart for the lesson but managed to screen shot all the slides onto powerpoint. Enjoy.
