This is the first in a series of posters trying to promote mathematics through a different avenue - SCUBA diving. I’ll try and compile an area of SCUBA diving alongside with a relevant area of mathematics in the National Curriculum, how far I can get will depend, but there is a high amount of mathematics in SCUBA diving. This week I’ve started with a nice gas law called Dalton’s Law - it requires a bit of understanding of how pressure in BAR increases with depth underwater. (I’ll release something on this at a later point). But this could be a nice research topic for yourself and your class - maybe even come up with a formula relating depth to BAR. I hope this is of use to some people - please rate/review if it is. Sorry for the shameless plug of my little Mat Duxbury Diving logo. Trying to promote the sport to others too!

A basic lesson on income tax for the year 18/19. It doesn’t run over National Insurance Tax in the calculations, I just wanted to keep it simple and try and get kids interested during Careers Week. I hope you find some use in it, there is a worksheet with answers and a scaffolding sheet for those who may struggle with it. Also included is a 19/20 tax bracket scaffolding sheet. I’ll update the powerpoint when the new tax year arrives, but the idea is the same. If you found it useful please rate and review.

A small presentation you can include in a lesson about 3D shapes. I’ve found useful for a mixture of classes ranging from high ability Y7s to lower ability Y10/11s. There is a PPT and a Word Document included. Please note the teacher notes at the end of the powerpoint just clarifying why the answers are incomplete regarding some of the shapes. I hope you find it to be of some use, if you did please rate/review. Dux

A worksheet trying to apply some semi-circles in real life, some examples a bit stretched! It’s scaffolded at each step, along with a little stretch question at the end to promote a bit of problem solving. Hope this is of use to some, if so, please rate / review. ** Now with answers **

Diagnostic questions based on those created by Mr Barton Maths. These have been created and edited to be used with the new A Level. They are only the AS Exponentiation and Logarithms. Note this does contain some differentiation, however this is the only time differentiation is mentioned for logarithms. I will update with more as and when I have time. Answers are minimal, will update over the next half term. If these were useful to you please rate and review. Dux

A worksheet scaffolded to aid students in understanding how to find the area of an annulus. Extra challenge at the bottom, which involves a bit of problem solving and an inverse step. Hope you find this useful, it’s in a Word document so you can change the names to pupils in your classes! Now with answers Please rate / review!

This is the second in a new series of worksheets I’d like to create, each being Really Specific to a certain topic. For example this one is expanding brackets with a(bx-c) where a,b are positive, c is negative. Let me know if you use it - and would like more creating.

This is the first in a new series of worksheets I’d like to create, each being Really Specific to a certain topic. For example this one is expanding brackets with a(bx+c) where a,b,c are all positive integers. Let me know if you use it - and would like more creating.

Plain old pair of axes with an x-y table to accompany it.

A game based on the very popular Cards Against Humanity game. This is game for students to play to increase their confidence with calculus. Included in the pack is a mixture of calculus seen across first and second year A Level Mathematics. Included in the file is a set of empty cards should you wish to use these to make your own. I haven’t actually used these with my class yet, so if there any improvements or adjustments please do let me know!
