A whole lesson (powerpoint and resource) that will introduce students in Year 13 to solve differential equations by separating the variables. The powerpoint takes students through the process and the examples are printed with their solutions on the resource which is fully differentiated. The first level guides students through the process of solving and the second level lets them try the equations themselves. There is an examination question and there is a challenge. Answers to the exercise are not supplied

Simple powerpoints to start the lesson which reviews number skills that any students working at the foundation level should be able to cope with. Students have 2 minutes to answer as many questions from the "easy" or "hard" section as they can

Complete lesson on the concept of writing one quantity as a fraction of another. For example, in a room of 20 students, 8 of them wear glasses: write the glasses wearers as a fraction of the room. There is a starter which can be used in your other lessons as it is 10 questions of a general GCSE grade 3 level. The powerpoint takes the students through the procedure and then there is a differentiated resource which students can write on. There is also extension material which require more thinking about the selection of the numbers. There is also a matching puzzle with the questions in the top half and the answers in the bottom.

A simple differentiated booklet to print to get foundation (or early years students) to recall the names of 2D and 3D shapes…often a sticking point of lower ability KS4 students

Complete revision lesson for lower ability GCSE students or higher ability younger students which covers the basics of algebraic manipulation. The topics covered are collection of terms, simplification of powers, expansions of brackets, evaluating and creating expressions. The powerpoint takes you through the basics and then the differentiated write-on resource allows students to select one of two levels of questions. Answers are not included. There is a screen shot of the resource on the last slide of the powerpoint

An introduction to rotational symmetry: a topic for some reason all lower ability students accept and then forget! The fully animated powerpoint shows the tracing of a shape and spinning it around 1 full revolution. Other examples are then shown. The fully differentiated resource goes from 1 star (multi choice) to 3 star (demanding complete the shape so that it has rotational symmetry type questions). All tasks can be printed and written on, although you may have to adjust the dimensions of the sheet so that it prints near perfect square grids (this will affect the quarter turns). Answers are not given

A complete series of lessons which deal with calculating the probabilities of events modelled under the normal distribution. This includes reverse probabilities and finding the parameters when given information about area. Full demonstrations on powerpoint and fully differentiated resources for students to complete, along with solutions

The lesson is a fully differentiated write on resource that reviews classifying angles, measuring angles, angle calculations (point, line, triangle, parallel). The other 3 documents are multi-choice revision which can be used as homeworks. Great for students working at grades 1/2/3

A simple but effective lesson designed to brush up on students basic addition and subtraction skills under the backdrop of money. This is based on the old SATS questions where students would be asked to make different combinations of coins that gave a certain total. The powerpoint contains a variety of questions and then the resource has multiple tasks on different sheets that you can use to differentiate. Some are interactive and will change by pressing F9 on the sheet, thus creating an infinite amount of variations. Surprisingly challenging and always relevant.

This is two lessons in one to allow students to practise the factor theorem. The new specification does not specifically refer to the remainder theorem but the classic problems are still worth looking at to get students to practice the skills involved. The powerpoint (which has a starter) will take students through the types of problem involving finding unknown coefficients. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. The other lesson simply reinforces this work

Multiple lessons and resources to take a KS3/4 class from the very start of simultaneous equations through to more complex examples. I teach it via matching the coefficient of the middle term and then applying different sign add or same sign subtract. The powerpoint takes the students through the phases of the work where, at first the coefficients match. Then students will have to multiply through to enable a match. Finally there is manipulation of both equations required. At least 5 different resources, many of which can be written on and some answers are contained. Homework task is available also.

An entire lesson for students working at grades 1/2/3. There is a starter of 10 multi-choice questions (with answers), a powerpoint which takes students through how to expand brackets of the type a(bx + c), a fully differentiated resource which students can write on. The first level is multi-choice and the other levels are written solutions (note the answers to the questions are not supplied). There is a "check out" which I use as a plenary to assess what learning has taken place.

I deliver the easiest of the measures of data in one lesson. The mode, median and range all obtained from small data sets. The powerpoint is animated and shows the importance of the ordering of the data and then gives definitions. The classic “give me 3 numbers whose median is 4 and range is 5” type problems are also developed during the lesson. The resource can be printed on and is fully differentiated from one star (lots of support and small data sets) through to 3 star (larger data sets, even numbers of data and more challenging questions). Note answers are not given

Two full lessons on the theory of binomial expansions and its applications. Both lessons come with fully animated slide-shows, fully differentiated resources for students to complete and a full set of worked solutions.

The first lesson in Year 13 introduces the concept of conditional probability through use of two-way tables, tree and Venn diagrams. Full demonstration and differentiated resource for students to write on. Answers given.

Lesson 2 in a series of lessons on simplifying expressions. This is a classic scenario where students are asked to find an expression for the perimeter of a shape. The powerpoint walks the students around the shapes and writes out the expression as we go. The fully differentiated resource allows students to write on the sheet (no need for drawing the shapes). One star is very basic with all sides having simple expressions. Two and three star have multi-term expressions on the edges and the rectangles have only the length and breadth shown. Answers not included.

Running off the back of the introductory differential equations lesson, this is a full set of resources to teach the solution of first order separable equations. The powerpoint takes students through the procedure. The resource is leveled and has the answers. The homework sheet consists of 4 questions with model solutions.

Complete lesson that introduces students to the art of finding the derivative of a function defined implicitly. The powerpoint explains the difference between explict and implicit functions and then shows students how, by applying the chain rule, we can differentiate any expression. The lesson sheet that accompanies it is fully differentiated, contains an exam question and a challenge question. The answers are included.

A light hearted assembly that takes students through some of the more bizarre rules and laws from around the world. The school rules are the last slide (you will have to change them for your own school) and the morale of the tale is why we need rules in order to keep a calm productive environment.

A basic assembly I used with sixth form students but could be adapted. The discussion is happiness and the top ten happiest countries are shown. There is then a discussion on the Danish concept of hygge. A prayer is included and a notice board slide. There is a vote which students can take part in which touches on a topical issue of our time
