All my resources have been created to use with classes I teach. Often I've created resources because, for a particular topic, I haven't been happy with the number/standard of the examples in a textbook. Sometimes I've created worksheets for certain topics (e.g. graph transformations) because I feel my classes will make greater progress on a printed worksheet than trying to work from a textbook. I always aim to produce high-quality resources that improve the students' learning and understanding.

(6)
This simple worksheet can be used to introduce/practise using number lines to represent inequalities. The worksheet starts with a reminder about the different inequality symbols and what they mean. There are then a few examples (to do with your students) of representing inequalities on number lines and writing down the inequalities represented by given diagrams. There is a short exercise with 16 of each type of question - answers are included.

Finding areas by counting squares

(1)
A simple resource to give your class practice of finding the area of a shape by counting squares. It has brief notes and examples at the start, then an exercise with 18 questions for students to attempt (answers included). The shapes are squares, rectangles, triangles and compound shapes using these 3 shapes (so no circles or parts of circles).
Quadratic equations and the discriminant
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Quadratic equations and the discriminant

(0)
The presentation shows examples with graphs to help students realise that a quadratic equation can have 0,1 or 2 (real) solutions. The worksheet has an introductory section intended to be worked through as a class to establish the rules about the value of the discriminant and the number of (real) roots. This is followed by 10 questions for students to practise applying what they have learned. Answers are provided.

Worksheets to practise finding the equation of a quadratic graph

(0)
Three resources to practice finding the equation of quadratic graphs from different types of information. This is a tricky topic and is likely to stretch an able GCSE group. The first resource is intended to be used as examples to work through as a group, the other resources are for additional practice. All solutions are provided. Note that simultaneous equations and solving quadratics by factorising is required prior knowledge.
A "treasure hunt" activity on averages

A "treasure hunt" activity on averages

(0)
Two versions (with/without frequency tables) of a treasure hunt activity for a class to attempt individually or in groups. There are 24 questions, numbered from 1 to 24. Each group chooses a number from 1 to 24 at random (or you can assign them a start number), and this is the number of the first question they should attempt - this should be written in the top-left circle on their answer grid. Their answer to their first question should be a whole number from 1 to 24 - this should be written in the next circle on their grid and this is the number of the next question they should attempt. e.g. if a group starts on Q6 and they think the answer to Q6 is 13 then after Q6 they should attempt Q13 (and they should have 6 -> 13 on their answer grid). If they answer the questions correctly they end up with the same chain of answers as on the solution, if they make a mistake they will repeat an earlier question and at that point you can decide how much help to give them sorting out their error(s). This activity works best if you can stick the 24 questions around a large classroom or sports hall so the groups have to run around to find their next question. All the classes I've done these activities with have loved them.
Introduction to differentiation and finding the gradient of a curve
MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Introduction to differentiation and finding the gradient of a curve

(0)
The presentation and accompanying worksheet introduces the topic of differentiation by considering the gradients of progressively smaller chords that are used to estimate the gradient of the curve/tangent at the point. Students use this method to find the gradient at some points on the y=x^2 curve and then on the y=x^3 curve - from these results they should be able to guess at generalising the method for differentiating x^n and then ax^n. This presentation and worksheet take a while to work through so this may take up a whole lesson. The worksheet starts by reminding students how to differentiate and what dy/dx represents. In section A there are 18 examples of finding dy/dx to work through as a class, and then 30 questions for students to complete on their own. In section B there are a few examples of finding the gradient of a curve at a given point (to do as a class), then 10 questions for students to complete on their own. All answers are provided for the students' questions. Note that this resource was designed specifically for the Level 2 Further Maths qualification, so only covers differentiating functions with positive integer powers such as y=5x^3-4x+2, but can still be used an introduction to differentiation in general.

Worksheets on increasing / decreasing functions and sketching graphs

(0)
The first worksheet has an introduction and explanation about increasing/decreasing functions, a few examples to work through as a class and then an exercise with 11 questions for students to complete. Answers to the exercise are included. The second worksheet gives students some practice at using differentiation to help sketch graphs. There are a couple of examples to go through with your class and then an exercise with 7 questions. Solutions are provided. Note that this resource was designed specifically for the Level 2 Further Maths qualification, so only covers differentiating functions with positive integer powers such as y=5x^3-4x+2, but can still be used an introduction to the general method of increasing/decreasing functions and sketching.

MathsWorksheetMasterMathsWorksheetMaster

Area between curve and y-axis worksheet (integration)

(0)
This worksheet can be used to teach and practise the method for finding the area between a curve and the y-axis using integration. The questions are designed so that students practise rearranging the curve y=f(x) into x=g(y) and then integrate with respect to y. The first page introduces this method and then there are 2 examples to work through as a class. There are then 3 more pages of questions, all with diagrams, for your students to attempt. Answers are provided.

A range of resources for identifying equations, expressions, identities and formulae

(0)
The powerpoint presentation can be used to introduce this topic, containing examples and explanations. The notes and examples sheet can just be handed out as a reminder during the tasks, or later as a revision resource. The first activity just requires the students to indicate on a grid whether each item is an equation, expression, identity or formula. The second activity involves cutting out each item and putting/sticking it into the correct column on the answer table. All answers are included.

Exponential models (new A level maths)

(0)
This resource is designed to help students understand the key properties of exponential models and to give them lots of practice of examination-style questions on the topic. It begins by recalling the key properties of exponential graphs and introduces the form of the equation used in most exponential models. The first section contains examples designed to help students realise that the same proportional change happens over equal time periods. There are a few examples that establish this property and then an exercise of questions for students to attempt. The main section focuses on using exponential models and begins with 2 pages of example questions chosen to show students the typical style and demands of examination questions on this topic. There is then a 17-page exercise with almost 70 questions for students to attempt themselves. The exercise includes questions where students are required to explain the significance of parameters in models, the limitations of models, and to suggest possible improvements. Answers to the exercises are included.
