A simple resource covering simultaneous equations and solving by elimination, substitution and use of graphical methods.

Practice questions covering a range of problems mainly involving compound growth. There are three questions at the beginning specifying 'simple' interest to remind students that there is a difference between simple growth and compound growth, but the bulk of the worksheet asks students to practice compounding interest over a specified number of time periods, and to apply reasoning to reverse the compounded growth in order to find the original amount.

This is a series of questions which assess understanding of linear graphs, tangents, the equations of a circle, and the ability to find points of intersection. It is a useful summary worksheet for AS level students to complete after studying the first chapter on coordinate geometry as part of the Core course. It also provides a useful guide to the content of the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths course, and provides extension material for GCSE students.

A variety of practice worksheets covering decimals and box method for multiplying, addition, subtraction and division of decimals, factorising and multiplying out brackets for linear expressions, Pythagoras and basic Trigonometry, proportions of amounts and average and spread with continuous or grouped data.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to solve problems involving quadratics, both algebraically and graphically. The questions included require students to be able to plot graphs, factorise, complete the square, use the quadratic formula, understand the meaning of solve f(x) = 0, solve simultaneous equations where one equation is quadratic, solve equations involving quotients which lead to a quadratic, and so on. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.

The questions include work on the four operations, rounding, approximations, calculating with bounds and converting terminating and recurring decimals to fractions. Several different contexts are used, including calculating the mean and working out perimeter and area.

A variety of worksheets covering proportions of amounts (including sharing in a given ratio), box method for multiplying, bar charts, stem and leaf diagrams and pie charts, scatter diagrams, transformations, functions and function machines, formulae, and probability.

This excel document summarises the key learning objectives for Mathematics from ages 11 to 16; the objectives are carefully organised and allow for students to self-assess and teachers to record their progress in a simple, visual way. Each topic area can be printed as a single sheet to share objectives with students, evaluate prior knowledge, and evaluate progress at the end of a taught topic.

This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions, and to deal with mixed numbers and improper fractions. The questions include applications within geometry (with perimeter, area and volume) and some surd form, where students will be stretched to apply their basic understanding to wider concepts. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks.

Variety of worksheets covering fractions and the 4 operations, average and spread of data, real life graphs and use of formulae, index notation, 3D shapes, factorising and multiplying out brackets for linear expressions, and solving simultaneous linear equations.

A variety of summary worksheets covering collecting terms and solving simple equations, basic coordinate geometry, frequency diagrams, pictograms, two way tables, equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages and simple probability.

These documents are replicas of the Core Skills 1 model, albeit with different values to keep the students practising the 'core skill' areas of Mathematics that require students to learn methods and understand basic notation. There is no 'use and application' and the worksheets are designed to identify areas of weakness for targeted intervention. They are really useful as cover work, revision work, homework, and targeted class work.

These rubrics allow students to review and evaluate their own work. The 'RS Checklist for Success' is more appropriate for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners who are middle to lower ability, and need to learn to scaffold their own work and check for completeness, SPAG, and general presentation. We use the rubric as a support for those students who are prone to making the same basic literacy errors, and who need to develop their basic written responses. The 'RS GCSE Checklist for Success provides two tables; one for Edexcel GCSE Part c) style responses (usually requiring two points that are clearly expressed and sufficiently developed, and where a source of authority is referred to); and one for Part d) style responses which require greater depth of argument with points FOR, points AGAINST and a general balanced conclusion. While developed for RS Edexcel Specification B, the tables can easily be edited and adapted to suit any essay writing needs, to encourage self-assessment and ensure students have a framework that will support progress and success.

These worksheets are designed as general practice for the basic Grade 4 (core skills) and more advanced Grade 6 (extended skills) ability ranges. There is no 'Use and Application', and they are designed purely to get students to practise the broad range of methods and knowledge required to 'do' Mathematics. They are ordered in respect of Number, Algebra, Statistics and Geometry. The 8 pages are designed to be printed onto A3 folded sheets so that students have a write on resource with minimal printing required. The Mathematics 'Help Booklet' that I offer for free, and the 'Steps for Success' document, provide guidance to students to help with the completion of these papers. The back page of the 'Help Booklet' directly references each question of Core Skills into the booklet; for example, question 1b on the Algebra page is referenced to pages 21 and 26 respectively of the Help Booklet where structured models are available to show the process of factorising linear and quadratic expressions.

These write-on papers cover a wide range of problems that are well presented and easy to mark; they comprise non-calculator and calculator assessments with questions ranging in difficulty from old Level 3 to old Level 6 based on the UK levelling system that has now been replaced. While 'levels' have been replaced, the monitoring document provides a means to evaluate the progress of a cohort or class of students, to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate progress. For the age group, results which are determined as 'level 5c' or above are above national average. Level 6 would indicate 'Gifted and Talented' students in comparison to the year group, and Level 3 would identify students in need of further support and intervention.
