With over 20 year's teaching experience, I am now a SLE for Maths and provide consultancy support to a number of schools across the UK and Channel Islands. Many of the schools I support are now implementing a mastery curriculum and are currently trialling some of my resources with great feedback from both staff and students.

A series of lessons on expanding and factorising single brackets and expanding and factorising quadratics. The lessons guide students through each step using intelligent practice and exposes them to all the eventualities they are likely to see when presented with these questions. For eg, when expanding single brackets, I have shown all the eventualities of having all positive terms in and outside the brackets, 1 negative, 2 negatives and all negatives. This can help students to develop a deep understanding of how a negative can affect the different parts of the answer and how it affects what is going on inside the brackets when factorising. It also eliminates questions like âthere is a negative in front of the x, what do i do nowâ. This series of lessons fits well with a mastery curriculum as we can ask âwhatâs the same and whatâs different, how will it affect our answerâ as we go through the slides. I have added the powerpoint and worksheets to print out for the students.
A full lesson on angles in polygons. Home in on the definition of a polygon and expel misconceptions surrounding the word polygon and properties of polygons. Teach exterior angles in polygons first as the majority of exam questions do not need students to have memorised the formula (n-2) x 180 and the majority of questions can indeed be answered without remembering this formula. I have provided some exam question practice using intelligent practice, leading children through scaffolded examples. There is also a short video explaining each of the slides and why they are there. Would suit a mastery curriculum and fit in with any of the White Rose Maths small steps.
One of the most asked questions I hear children say is âwhy mathsâ They often feel they donât use or need maths and only see it for use in temperature or money! Here I have put together some ideas where they or their parent/carers are using maths everyday. Feel free to add more ideas or comment here on where I can add more!
Place Value Moveable Counters for Interactive Whiteboard. Suitable for use with The White Rose Maths SOL, Power Maths or other Mastery or conventional SOL.
I have included 3 separate pages for the teacher to move between questions. Includes Ones, Tens, Hundreds and Thousands.
To use this resource, you will need to use the powerpoint not in presenter mode so that you can drag the counters across the screen and demonstrate exchanges. If you need more counters, simply copy and paste.
A pack of printable resources suitable for use with The White Rose Maths SOL, Power Maths or other mastery or conventional SOL.
Includes: Tens Frames, Place Value Tables (to use with or without place value counters), Hundred Square, Blank Hundred Square, Fact Families, Blank Clock Faces, Part Whole Models, How many different ways, Isometric Paper, Square Dotty Paper, Graph Paper, Bar Models & Number lines for 10ths, 8ths, 5ths, 3rds, 4ths, directed number line, Geologian blank boxes, Blank Bar models.
These resources are designed for teachers to print and put inside plastic wallets for students to write on with dry wipe pens (and save on printing costs). They can of course be used individually and projected onto an Interactive Whiteboard. They are particularly useful as the resources are all together in one place.
A fully animated powerpoint using intelligent practice and bar models to help students gain a deep understanding of fractions of an amount. This work would fit well with the White Rose Maths Secondary Schemes of Learning and suit both a mastery curriculum and a conventional curriculum. I hope you find it useful :-)
An investigation on straight line graphs which can be used as part of a mastery style curriculum such as the White Rose Maths Secondary Scheme or to complement any secondary maths scheme. It has been written to lead students through the different elements of drawing linear graphs. This activity needs to be done hand in hand with a graph plotter. There are many free versions available online or as downloadable apps.
Teachers would circulate the room during this activity and ensure students are able to articulate their findings using the given key words (in blue throughout). There is no mention at this stage of the equation y=mx+c and teachers can use this investigation to lead onto that if appropriate.
I hope you find it useful ï
This animated PowerPoint can be used as part of a mastery style curriculum such as the White Rose Maths Secondary Scheme or to complement any secondary maths scheme. It has been written to lead students through using bar models to solve more complex problems found in KS3 and KS4.
Key words have been highlighted throughout in blue and all worksheets are also provided separately as a pdf for ease of printing.
Please also look out for a separate resource called âratio with bar modelsâ. It is a precursor to this PowerPoint and helps to introduce students to bar models and their uses.

A follow me card game that can be used as a starter activity or during another part of the lesson. It can be used more than once so that students can try to improve their timing, especially if they try to beat another class.
A selection of worksheets, matching cards and follow me cards on equivalence and equality. These resources have been put together from planning I did for the White Rose Maths Secondary scheme of learning. Due to the conceptual variation, these resources will suit a mastery curriculum and a more traditional curriculum.
A bundle of resources on simplifying and collecting like terms. The worksheets can also be found as part of the White Rose Maths Secondary planning for term 1.
The activities contain conceptual variation and would therefore suit a mastery curriculum as well as a more traditional curriculum.
A set of resources using conceptual variation for collecting like terms. They would lend themselves to both a mastery curriculum and a traditional curriculum.
These worksheets can also be found as part of the White Rose Maths Secondary planning for Block 3 week 6.
A set of resources for solving 1 step equations. These resources contain questions with conceptual variation and would therefore suit a mastery curriculum.
A set of worksheets on solving 1 step equations using multiplication and division.
These worksheets are ideal for a mastery curriculum as they contain conceptual and procedural variation and will also fit into other SOW.
These worksheets are also available as part of other packs of resources I have written for the White Rose Scheme (Autumn term block 3 week 5 and week 6 âequality and equivalenceâ) and see below

This unit of work contains approximately 1 weekâs worth of worksheets, activities and a FREE animated powerpoint with a suggested lesson sequence in a mastery style approach to teaching and learning. Suggested activities are given for use of afl (eg miniwhiteboards), the use of manipulatives and pictorial ideas where appropriate. Notes also provide suggestions for carrying out each slide or activity.
Suggestions are given where lessons may start and end dependent on individual teachers and the length and number of lessons per week. Teachers may wish to add extra examples or provide scaffolding where appropriate to ensure all students can access the work.
All worksheets and activities have been provided in pdf format for ease of printing.
It covers the WRM small steps as follows
Solve one-step linear equations involving Ă/Ă· using inverse operations
Understand the meaning of like and unlike terms
Understanding the meaning of equivalence
Simplify algebraic expressions by collecting like terms using the ⥠symbol
I hope you find it useful :-)
A series of at least 2-3 lessons (depending on class and length of lessons) on simplifying and collecting like terms. There are 4 worksheets and an animated powerpoint suggesting steps to use the worksheets. The powerpoint covers the whole lessons and has teacher notes and guidance for following each activity.
