Welcome! Here is this year’s End of Term Summer quiz with all new questions for 2024, to provide you and your students with a little bit of fun. This quiz was built using Genially rather than PPoint which has always has compatability issues. Genially just needs an internet browser :-) It can also be updated without me re-uploading and you re-downloading! The quiz is 8 rounds totalling 80 marks: Picture round (with optional timer) Monthly Roundup Music General Knowledge Movies Subjects (2 Maths, 2 English, 3 Science, 1 Geography, 1 History, 1 Environment) True or False The quiz is aimed at the full range of Secondary School students. It should keep you busy for about one hour depending on your pace (and the class). Printable sheet for students to fill in answers is included. Keep an eye out for offers, I will do an early bird offer to give you the opportunity to buy at the lowest price TES will allow. Have fun, please review if you like it and feel free to contact me with any problems. NB all images used are from Pixabay & free to use.

Here is a complete workbook of Grade 4 topics for GCSE Maths. Answers also included. I created this for my classes this year as they are mixed ability within foundation GCSE. I also made an aiming at grade 2 and aiming at grade 3 workbooks that I will hopefully also upload. They are great for all general work, classwork, homework, revision. To decide on the topics I did some brief analysis of recent papers and what topics came up compared to marks needed for a grade 4. If students are confident on the majority of the topics in this workbook, then they should be able to achieve a grade 4. Note in the top right corner on Page 3 there is a blank space, here I added a QR code to the answers, you could do similar. There are exactly 100 topics covered across: Four Operations Fractions Factors, Multiples and Primes Decimals Percentages Fractions, Decimals & Percentages Rounding Powers and Roots Indices Ratio Algebra Expanding & Factorising Solving Linear Equations Straight Line Graphs Inequalities Angles Angles in Polygons 2D Shapes Perimeter Area 3D Shapes Measure Time Money Compound measure Scale Drawings Transformations Similarity Probability Venn Diagrams Averages & the Range Frequency Tables Scatter Graphs

COMPLETE BUNDLE Since starting the new 9-1 Maths course using the Pearson Higher Textbook (‘Practice, Reasoning and Problem solving Book’) I have been creating these Revision/Consolidation worksheets for my students to revise for end of chapter tests. They have proved very successful and so I have taken the time to pack them all together and provide answers in this bundle resource. Each worksheet is double sided taking about a lesson to complete covering the key skills from each Chapter. They follow the same Scheme as the Pearson textbook but could easily be used more generally, particularly as revision near the end of the year. This resource compiles the two previous resources I had produced covering Chapters 1-8 and Chapters 9-19 respectively. Those resources were each priced at £2, this I am pricing at £3 so that you can save money buying this resource rather than both separately if you wish. So included in this resource are: Chapter 1- Number, Chapter 2 - Algebra, Chapter 3 - Interpreting and representing data, Chapter 4 - Fractions, ratio and percentages, Chapter 5 - Angles and trigonometry, Chapter 6 - Graphs, Chapter 7 - Area and Volume, Chapter 8 - Transformations and Constructions, Chapter 9 - Equations & Inequalities, Chapter 10 - Probability, Chapter 11 - Multiplicative Reasoning, Chapter 12 - Similarity & Congruence, Chapter 13 - More Trigonometry, Chapter 14 - Further Statistics, Chapter 15 - Equations & Graphs, Chapter 16 - Circle Theorems, Chapter 17 - More Algebra, Chapter 18 - Vectors & Geometric Proof, Chapter 19 - Proportion & Graphs. Effectively you are getting a consolidation worksheet for every chapter in a Maths GCSE Higher Textbook for £3 that you can copy and use until your heart’s content representing superb value in my humble opinion ;-p

Get your students a device and set them free on this GCSE Maths ‘escape room’ (which actually has multiple rooms). There are 7 levels, each level has a puzzle and a challenge. The puzzle is not particularly Maths related; the challenges are. This escape room is based around Number (future ones planned around other key areas…), topics covered in the challenges are: Times tables Long multiplication/division & checking answers Definitions (crossword) Equivalent fractions Percentage of amount Adding & Subtracting with negatives Currency conversion There is also a ‘bonus’ at the end which allows a student to catch up if they forgot to write down some key elements whilst moving through the game, this has another 7 Maths questions. Questions are all pitched around GCSE foundation level. I hope students (and maybe teachers) will find this fun, it would be a good light-hearted revision lesson or end of term lesson. I imagine most classes will take around an hour completing the game. If they finish early, they could be encouraged to think about designing their own. There is a ‘login’ on slide 1 which allows teachers to jump to the different levels in one-click with the password. Free sample version available on my author page to try before you buy (or direct > https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12680055)

A complete set of assessments for all Pure and Applied YEAR 1 chapters in the Pearson Edexcel textbook. Note that for the Applied chapters, I have grouped some together, this was due to both the material being quite small and time-management (i.e. trying to complete the course in time). Questions are sourced from a variety of topics but mainly past paper questions and questions from the reviews and mixed exercises in the textbook. Solutions are written by me and complete. Mark schemes are ‘partial’, in that where a question is sourced from past papers I have put the mark scheme at the end of the paper. Where the question is from the textbook, I have just put a reference to find the question. In the first couple of tests for Pure there are a few missing a reference as I had not decided on a system when creating them and cannot now find where they are from! I will be working on the Year 2 assessments through the academic year 24/25 so will be complete for the year 25/26.

Scanned PDFs of my written solutions to the Practice Materials released by Edexcel to support teaching Level 3 CORE Maths in Context. You can download the Practice Materials here from the Pearson website, unfortunately TES does not allow me to give a direct link here. These practice materials are a great help, particularly with a current lack of past paper content available due to this being such a new course.

Introducing the Teacher’s Markbook - Making Excel easy! This Excel file is all you need to bring your Markbook fully into the 21st Century dazzling colleagues and students alike. Microsoft Excel is a fantastic tool, but hard to learn, yet this is unnecessary because I have done ALL of the hard work for you. This is now the 4th Edition and appears pretty bug free, ty for the feedback :-) Features: Classwork Markbook, Homework Markbook, Gap Analysis/Traffic Light sheets for Tests and Level Trackers for GCSE 9-1, GCSE A*-U and National Curriculum (3a etc.). The Report Sheet has also been updated giving you suggested attitude/attainment scores for each pupil automatically. If something isn’t working please contact me.

I’m back with an End of Term Summer quiz to provide you and your students with a little bit of fun. This quiz was built using Genially rather than PPoint which has always has compatability issues. Genially just needs an internet browser :-) It can also be updated without me re-uploading and you re-downloading! The quiz is 8 rounds totalling 80 marks: Picture round (with optional timer) Monthly Roundup Music General Knowledge Movies Subjects (2 Maths, 2 English, 3 Science, 1 Geography, 1 History, 1 Environment) True or False The quiz is aimed at the full range of Secondary School students. It should keep you busy for about one hour depending on your pace (and the class). I’m uploading a little early, but some of us are saying goodbye to GCSE classes in just a few weeks, possibly even earlier if anyone is giving them study leave! Keep an eye out for offers, I will do an early bird offer to give you the opportunity to buy at the lowest price TES will allow. Have fun, please review if you like it and feel free to contact me with any problems.

This resource was originally created for the Summer 2022 exam series. I took the EDUQAS Foundation topic list and provided example questions for each specific topic. Obviously advanced information is now not available for exams, however, I think this resource is still a highly useful collection of questions organised by both topic and paper as well as suggesting difficulty ratings. Students can use this to help prepare for their exams. Although this document was specific to the EDUQAS exam board, note that the EDUQAS, Edexcel, AQA, OCR GCSE Maths exam board syllabus’ are very similar, so would certainly still be highly relevant for each. File attached as PDF and Word for flexibility of use. Update Answers now also included and a couple of minor errors corrected.

Department budget pushed? Reduce your printing bill by up to 75% with these re-configured past papers intended to be printed as A5 booklets. They function as question papers, pupils write their answers on separate paper or in their books. There are 14 past papers in total: 6 of the new specimen papers from the 1-9 syllabus and 8 from the old A*-E syllabus. I have found the old papers helpful in working on pupil’s skill base, before then pushing them onto the new papers.

Its Christmas quiz time! 8 rounds, 90 marks, some fun stuff and a subject round as well. Should keep students busy for an hour or more depending on your pace. Make some good memories in the last lesson of this term. After a very successful Summer quiz using Genially rather than PPoint, here is a Christmas Quiz for your students with Genially again. Genially just needs an internet browser :-) It can also be updated without me re-uploading and you re-downloading! The quiz is 8 rounds totalling 90 marks: Picture round (with optional timer) Top Toys Music Xmas Food Movies Subjects (2 Maths, 2 English, 3 Science, 1 Geography, 1 History, 1 Environment) True or False (Xmas traditions) I hope you enjoy using Genially and I hope you have fun, please review if you like it and feel free to contact me with any problems. NB I have not had time to update from last year, but this none of the questions are exclusive to 2022, so still perfect for this year!

Department budget pushed? Reduce your printing bill by up to 75% with these re-configured past papers intended to be printed as A5 booklets. They function as question papers, pupils write their answers on separate paper or in their books. There are 16 past papers in total: 6 of the new specimen papers from the 1-9 syllabus and 10 from the old A*-E syllabus. I have found the old papers helpful in working on pupil’s skill base, before then pushing them onto the new papers.

This will be my third year of Summer Quizzes on TES, trying hard to make those last few lessons of the year run as smooth as possible for the lowest price. The quiz follows the usual structure, including a Picture Round, 12 Months, Film, General Knowledge, Music, Maths (yes…Maths…so it’s totally educational when your HoD pops by…) and following last year’s Twitter battles, this year it’s Instagram Battles. The Quiz is aimed at Secondary School Age and should last a full lesson. Answers are provided along with an answers sheet that pupils can fill out if you wish. Keep an eye out for offers, I will do an early bird offer to give you the opportunity to buy at the lowest price TES will allow. Also included are detailed information on the copyright information of all images used. If you have any issues with media playback for example feel free to drop me an email and I will do my best to sort it out for you.

Let AI do the hard part of writing reports! With this spreadsheet you can quickly copy over your student names, attendance, grades and target grades etc. Then provide three short descriptors for each student, could be a single word, could be a sentance. The last cell populates with an instruction you can copy into chat gpt which will return a report for that student. You can then refine that report either by asking chat gpt to modify it or manually yourself.

Something a little bit different for an end of term lesson maybe. Students must have internet access for this task. The idea being they use the internet as a resource to try and find answers to all the questions, it is a hunt so teachers should not give anything away, rather point towards a good potential source of information or keywords to ‘google’. I usually ask students to compile their answers in Microsoft Word or similar and email them to me after the lesson so I can find a winner. Question Topics: Famous Mathematicians, Famous Numbers, Famous Objects, People & their work, Mathematical Dates, Phrases, Symbols, Inventions and a bonus round. If pupils answer every question the task can easily take up to and over an hour to complete fully.

In this project students take a leading role designing a new school building to be placed somewhere on their existing school site. The project is split into 6 parts: Initial designs, Final design, Material costing, Labour costing, Fittings Costing and Summary/Presentation. There is a PowerPoint that explains the entire project and a word document with as many of the likely costs that I have managed to think of. I ran this last year and it was very successful, I have made a few tweaks since. You will need to change the google maps image of my school to your own school, but that is all. My students completed the project partly on A3 and partly on Laptops. Mathmetical content involved is Area, Perimeter, Scale Drawing, Unit Conversion and Finance. Though many pupils can extend into things like Pythagoras and Trigonometry if their final design is fairly advanced/in-depth enabling the project to work across KS3 and KS4.

I have found the 1957 O Level Maths Papers produced by the University of London, and put them into a nice A3 display size with an ‘old paper texture’ feel. These could be used in class as some interesting extra practice, or as a display on your walls (like mine). There are 10 A3 portrait pages that cover all the different Pure Maths Papers for 1957 including ‘Arithmetic & Trigonometry’, ‘Algebra’, ‘Geometry’ and ‘History of Mathematics’.

Hoping to make Excel easy! Here is a fully functioning Register to keep track of the attendance of all of your students. You can include multiple classes and even multiple tutors. The spreadsheet also offers some analysis of the data, by class or by tutor. Although I have done all the hard bits for you, it will still take a little understanding to get up and running (5mins tops). So I have written a short guide to take you through it. This is the first in a little series of spreadsheets I hope to produce over the next few months (see my shop).

These are the 6 Assessments that run in tandem with the ‘1 Year SoW GCSE Maths Foundation for Edexcel 9-1 - Including all lessons & resources!’ available in my shop (free). There are 6 assessments: an initial baseline test, 2 Progress Tests (mainly based on recent learning) and then 3 Mock Papers. I have decided to keep these resources free partly because we are planning on re-designing a couple of the tests for this year anyway. If you use them please bear in mind we found that Progress Test 1 and to a certain extent Progress Test 2 appear to be a bit easier than intended so you may need to raise the grade boundaries for them.

In this resource are 6 homeworks of varied past exam paper questions. Each have a front cover sheet indicating the question category, description and number of marks allowing for easy tracking and gap analysis for both teacher and student. Each homework comes with markscheme and scanned written solutions. These homeworks were designed to run alongside the 1 Year SoW GCSE Maths Foundation for Edexcel 9-1 already uploaded to TES (see my shop). But they are perfect stand-alone homework resources as well.
