This is a complete SoW mainly aimed at resit students in FE environment, though the resources are very versatile and could easily fit into any Maths GCSE SoW. Our whole department has come together to create this SoW throughout the year and we are very proud of it. There are things we plan on tweaking and improving for next year for sure, but it has been very successful and we hope for some excellent grades in Summer! There are a whopping total of 36 lessons with all resources included, all for free! Many have been made from scratch though here and there you will see influence from sources such as Pixi Maths (Amazing). There are 6 assessment available separately from my shop. There are some recurring themes through the lessons such as a 1-10 starter (10 quick questions based on simple 1 mark GCSE questions and encouraging good memory of core topics), differentiated resources and a good mix of strategies including the odd game and video. Update 25/02/2022 To be released at some point over the next few months is a massive update and overhaul version of this scheme of work that was developed over lockdown and this year. I will release a few lessons for free, the whole scheme of work will be a paid for resource.

Scanned PDFs of the GCSE Maths Foundation Specimen Papers produced by Edexcel for the 9-1 release. These papers also have my own design front page rather than the Edexcel version. If you just want these papers without the solutions you will find this in my shop. Our students found these useful for revision. Once a paper is complete and marked they can identify topics that they need to work on and improve. Equally, if using a paper for revision, students can quickly navigate to the topics they need to focus on first.

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.

Here are the lessons I have made so far that run alongside the ‘Edexcel Level 3 Maths in Context Project Book’ for Core Maths. There is one PPoint for each Investigation in the textbook from Chapters 1-4. Answers also cropped in from the free to download answers PDF for the textbook. Chapters 5-8 available in my shop.

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’.
