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.

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.

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.

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.

Section A - Worksheet 1 is all about reading scales found on typical graphs where the scale isn't increasing by 1. Here we have 14 questions with structure to help your students get this part right. Section B - Here are 6 questions for interpreting from a distance time graph. Before students start the question, they have to work out what each division is worth for both Distance and Time for the question (what it's increasing by each time). This is structure to help them access the common distance time graph questions found on exams. For each question are a set of good quality questions. Powerpoint with starter and all answers to both worksheets. Very suitable for higher ability classes.

Excellent worksheet for measuring bearings. Included is a PowerPoint and activInspire flipchart. Suitable for KS4. Contains a starter, explanations and all answers are included.

Student friendly worksheets Section A - 14 questions to get your students reading scales before attempting distance time graphs Section B - consists of 6 questions for interpreting distance time graphs. Suitable for both KS3 and KS4

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.

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 :)

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)

Here is a constructive lesson on constructing angles (60 degrees, 45 degrees, 30 degrees, 15 degrees) and perpendicular bisectors (of a line, at a point on a line, from a point to a line). For the second part of the lesson, I created videos for the students to watch which demonstrates the constructions (It can be a lot to listen too and this works well). I have taught this several times and once during an observation and it was a good solid lesson. Here you have to chance to assess learning outcomes with an assessment sheet and its fully differentiated. The worksheet is structured with steps and gives students questions to attempt.

Interpreting line graphs can be a tricky skill for students when the scale isn't straight forward. I have firstly focused the lesson on reading scales and working out divisions (what it's increasing by). The second half is to apply this skill to interpret and access the sorts of questions they will come across. Both worksheets are student friendly and are aimed at KS3 and KS4 The flipchart contains a starter, explanations and worksheet answers. Please see my other lesson on plotting and interpreting line graphs.

Contains a starter, an activ inspire flipchart, explanations and worksheets with answers. This focuses on calculating the mean, mode and range from bar charts.

Teaching direct proportion can be confusing for students. I have carefully thought about the introduction to this and have broken it down into manageable chunks. The lesson leads up to the complex questions (i.e. x is directly proportional to y). The new GCSE (1-9) requires students to draw the proportions on graphs and use them. I have added 6 questions on this. Answers and solutions are available for all work set. Includes detailed step by step explanations, my students really benefited from this. PowerPoint presentation and ActivInspire flipchart available.

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!

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

Contains a starter, active inspire flipchart, 3 x worksheets which are also differentiated by outcomes. Assessments at different points in the lesson and a plenary. I used this for both KS3 and KS4, very suitable for a lesson observation.

Here are 3 lessons on place value. The worksheets are differentiated and student friendly. They follow on from each other. I have taught this several times and students have responded well to it.

Venn diagrams is new on the 1 - 9 GCSE spec this year and I have thought about a good solid constructive lesson that will win students understanding with this. Firstly, I have based each question around two visual events (i.e. even numbers and prime numbers). The idea here is that students say which numbers are which and then place them into the Venn diagram. Then they are asked to calculate one probability question from it, they will struggle with this but that's where you step in to make sense of them with the example ready at the board. See the cover image as an example, I have made up 8 questions, each with a different probability. The lesson is an ActivInspire flipchart, explanations and answers. Students can work from a friendly worksheet. I have put in a suitable starter (listing multiple, factors, primes, cube numbers etc). I have also included in this lesson blank diagrams with the probabilities they need to be able to shade (answers included).
