This takes students from fairly straightforward area and perimeter questions (trapeziums, circles etc) through compound shapes and on to cones, frustums and hemispheres including finding the height in terms of the radius for a cone. I have tried to cover all bases with it including density and capacity problems.

Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.

This leads students through graphing trigonometric functions, transforming f(x) and transforming a trigonometric function. The graphs are as big as I can make them in the format given so sorry if they are a bit small. I used Desmos for the graphs if you are interested (it’s brilliant!).

Dealing with inequalities from representing on a number line to solving to shading regions.

Working its way up from symmetry to negative and fractional scale factor enlargements; the diagrams are as big as I can make them in the format so sorry if they are a bit small.

This takes students through all the skills required to solve simultaneous equations graphically (only linear graphs), by elimination and by substitution including one linear and one non-linear up to GCSE level. Work from the bottom building the skills up to the most complex style of question.

Working up from simple fraction of a number to adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing mixed numbers with everything in between, including a “Show that” question which always seems to confuse some.

This takes students from simplifying expression, through factorising and up to algebraic fractions.

Work your way up to 3D Pythagoras and trigonometry…

Taking students all the way from pictograms, through bar charts, pie charts, stem-and-leaf, scatter graphs, frequency diagrams, cumulative frequency, box plots and histograms. The graphs are as large as I can make them and should be ok if copied on to A4.

Notes, examples and questions to do on simple powers, simplifying indices, surds, rationalising the denominators and mutliplying out two brackets.

Practice for the skills required to find a percentage of an amount; not difficult but designed for non-calculator use ultimately and checks skills such as multiplying and dividing by 100, decimals, converting between fractions, decimals and percentages before asking a few percentage of an number questions.

The next in the “Building Blocks” series going through all the skills that lead up to different ratio problems. I have included simplifying fractions, unit conversion, HCF before moving on to ratio problems of varying difficulty levels. Hopefully this should provide some useful revision tasks.

I had this idea whilst driving home tonight thinking that I could do with some more stuff on bearings. The idea is for student to practice all the skills involved in bearings problems (angle properties on lines, around a point, triangles and parallel lines as well as scale) and then move on to solving some actual bearing problems. I have designed it in the shape of a wall to show that we build up to the summit. Obviously with this topic, scale is more of an issue but I hope it’s useful… (error corrected)

The “Building Blocks” sequel to “Percentage of an Amount” - this goes through percentage change of all types.

Another in the series taking students through the skills required to solve equations, including simplifying expressions, expanding brackets and reading the question carefully!

This is a 220+ slide PowerPoint with notes, diagrams, examples and questions based around the entire Edexcel A Level Applied course. It is obviously fully editable.

This is a powerpoint covering shapes and their properties, angles facts including circle theorems and bearings. It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in; each one is given an approximate grade in both new (2017 onwards) and old system in England. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practise.

This is around 580 slides including notes, worked examples and questions for students to do on all topics in Edexcel’s Year 13/Book 2 including all the differentiation, integration, trigonometric identities, functions, logarithms/exponentials work as well as everything else. examples and solutions are animated so that each step can be looked at and discussed as is your and/or your students’ preference. Fully editable obviously. Now without differentiating arcsin, arccos and arctan and a rearranged series chapter.

These are all available for free individually but if you want them without searching then this is for you. The activities are designed to create discussion in class and make the students think. Each file has a minimum of 4 spiders to complete.
