All answers are provided I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of rounding to 10, 100 and 1000. It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer 4 questions based around place value. The lesson follows with two activities involving the number line. a) students have to type on the where the numbers are on the number line/complete the number line. (When in presentation mode, click on the text boxes and type using the key board) b) Students need to explain which nearest 10 to their number and why. Following this we look at the rules of rounding and use a Roundacoaster. Roundacoaster activity Students should answer on on whiteboards what they believe the number rounds to. Then click for the number cart to move. It will either roll back down the hill or go over to the other side. Nearest 10 a) 6 Roundacoasters Examples b) 3 Formal Examples c) Your Turn - 9 progressively harder questions Nearest 100 a) 7 Roundacoasters Examples b) 3 Formal Examples c) Your Turn - 9 progressively harder questions Nearest 10 a) 5 Roundacoasters Examples b) 2 Formal Examples c) Your Turn - 9 progressively harder questions Tarsia Follow Me - mixed loop card activity for rounding to 10, 100 and 1000. Matching activity Then there is an interactive pairing activity where students need to come to the board and select two cards. If they are a matching question and answer then leave them turned over, if not turn them back over and start again. (Snap) The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 4 separate sections a skill 1& 2 and a stretch 1 &2. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with 2 exam style questions including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have.

(27/11/17) Updated (All answers are provided) I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of iteration and iterative processes. It begins with a quick stop clock starter to review skills they should already know and will need to use throughout the lesson. The it leads to a discussion about what iteration is using real life concepts such as painting a door. This leads into a slide and discussion on the maths definition of what iterative processes are. Non calculator section Students shouldn't use a calculator/ ans button for these first questions so they can grasp the concept of iteration by physically doing substituting the previous answer in. 1) There are two basic iteration examples, fully animated, for students to follow through with yourself. 2) This the leads to 3 questions for the students to try for them selves. Calculator section Finding x1, x2 and x3 1) Explanation of where to find the ans button on your calculator and how it works. It's useful to get the students to do it on their calculators along with the PowerPoint. 2) 2 examples of iterative process questions that require a calculate. 3) 5 Multiple Choice Questions. Estimating a solution 1) 2 fully animated examples on estimating a solution to a required number of decimal places. 2) 2 questions for the students to try themselves. Rearranging to make an iterative formula 1) 3 different example rearrangements of the same formula 2) Odd one out. Students need to spot which iterative formula isn't a rearrangement of the equation. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1, 2 & 3 and a stretch. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use, however these questions are quite wordy and it may be worth while to print the slide off as a worksheet. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with exam style questions including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Miss B

All answers are provided I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of calculating with bounds to find the upper and lower bounds. It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer 4 questions based around rounding. A class discussion over how limits of accuracy could affect a consumer buying goods by weight. This leads to a recap on error intervals and a class discussion around why 3.4999... would be written as 3.5 with a less than symbol for the upper bound. Error Intervals - 2 examples - 6 Mini Whiteboard Questions - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section Multiplying and Adding with Bounds - 2 Examples - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section Dividing and Subtracting with Bounds - 2 Examples - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 4 separate sections: skills 1, 2 and 3 and stretch 1. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use, however could be printed as a worksheet. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with 2 exam style questions including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Any of the the slides could be printed as worksheets if you feel that would be easier for your class. Miss B

All answers are provided I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of evaluating indices. The resource includes activities on Simplifying 2x2x2, Evaluating 2^3, Evaluating index sums 2^3 + 2^4, Power of 0, Reciprocals (Power of -1) and square roots (Power of a half). It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer 4 questions based around squaring numbers and roots. This then leads to discussion slides over what an index number is. Including identification of the base number and the index number. We then look at the difference between simplifying and evaluating. Simplifying 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 - 2 examples - 4 Mini Whiteboard Questions Evaluating 3^2 and 2^2 + 5^2 - 2 examples - 4 Mini Whiteboard Questions - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section on the above two categories. Evaluating power of 0 - 2 examples - 2 Mini Whiteboard Questions Evaluating power of -1 / reciprocal - 2 examples - 3 Mini Whiteboard Questions Evaluating power of a half - 2 examples - 2 Mini Whiteboard Questions - Bronze, Silver & Gold Your Turn Section on power of -1 and power of a half. The resource then includes a discussion slide on the pattern of indices. work through powers of 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2. This will then be a nice link into harder indices lessons. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections: skills 1, 2 & 3 and a stretch 1 & 2. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use, however could be printed as a worksheet.

GCSE Maths revision resource follows a building house structure. To be able to access the harder problem solving questions students must be secure in the foundations. Foundations It starts with simple areas of shapes, as well as some circumference and area of a circle. Walls Basic Surface Area Examples with step by step solutions Followed by three similar questions for the students to try. It is useful to (Walk and talk/ Model the examples) House Roof Contains one problem solving model type which then leads into a worksheet on problem solving with surface area. This sheet can be used as calculator or none calculator practise. Any issues please email me missbsresources@gmail.com

Catchphrase quizzing activity on writing error intervals. Answers and catchphrase are provided. Students need to write the error intervals for the rounded numbers. I sometimes change the image below to a picture of famous person to add more variation to the game. Students either as individuals or small groups answers questions to reveal part of an image. The more questions the students answer the more of the image is revealed. The winner is the person who manages to say what they see and guess the catch phrase. I’ve included the answer to each catchphrase in the notes box, as well as answers on the second page.

I've designed this resource to allow students to discover through the trigonometric ratio's the exact trig values they now need to remember for their GCSE examinations. Afterwards there is a quick memory technique I use with students to help them quickly find the trig value in an exam situation. The resource then in includes a catch phrase activity where the students have to state either the trig values, ratios or key facts about the trig ratios. The answers are on the slide that follow it. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my current year 10 and 11 students have. Miss B

This is a 10 question quiz and 1 tie breaker question. The questions are all based around order of operations (BIDMAS / BODMAS) and start simple with no brackets, then with brackets and then insert the brackets. Every slide has two questions on, one for team 1 and another for team 2. Each question has 3 possible answers. Click the answer the team has chosen for it to highlight green if correct or red if incorrect. This allows you to open the question up to the other team to steal the point if you wish. I've design it so both teams have similar questions with different numbers at the same time to help prevent any students from being sat there not doing anything. I often ask all students to write their answer for their teams question on a whiteboard and take the majority answer from the team. This again means every student is participating. Each slide also has a star timer at the top. Each star represents 10 seconds and they gradually disappear. I hope you enjoy the quiz Miss B

(All answers are provided) I've designed this Lesson to allow students to explore adding and subtracting negative numbers building up from the basic pictorial through the use of counters and coming to identifying quicker methods/ rules. It begins with a look a counters and there meaning and different ways of representing numbers and a mini whiteboard activity. This then leads to 4 basic examples of questions such as -2 + 3, followed by four questions for students to try. Answers are given with full pictorial and written solutions here. This then leads to 4 examples of questions such as -2 - -3, again followed by four questions for the students to try. Answers are given with full pictorial and written solutions here. This leads to a class discussion on quicker methods now that they why is understood. Student have the pictorial to fall back on if they get stuck. There is a pointless quiz activity with two rounds which can be used to help stop misconceptions before the main differentiated activity. (Teacher Guidance notes are within the slides for this activity, however it's pretty straight forward if you have seen the TV show.) The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1, 2 & 3 and a stretch 1 & 2. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Miss B Bonus Materials There is an extra challenge slide of an additions grid of negative numbers. There is also a mixed challenge activity to be used with students once they have learnt how to multiply and divide negative numbers also. I have attached printable versions of the grid I use throughout the slides. I often laminate them for the students to do the examples with me in lessons)

This is a 10 question quiz and 1 tie breaker question. The questions are all based around expanding single brackets and start simple at 2(x+3) and progress to 3(x+4)-2(x-5). Every slide has two questions on, one for team 1 and another for team 2. Each question has 3 possible answers. Click the answer the team has chosen for it to highlight green if correct or red if incorrect. This allows you to open the question up to the other team to steal the point if you wish.

Catchphrase quizzing strategy on adding and subtracting negative numbers. (Available in bundle of three catchphrases) I sometimes change the image below to a picture of famous person to add more variation to the game. Students either as individuals or small groups answers questions to reveal part of an image. The more questions the students answer the more of the image is revealed. The winner is the person who manages to say what they see and guess the catch phrase. I’ve included the answer to each catchphrase in the notes box, as well as answers on the second page.

(All answers are provided) I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of simplifying algebraic expressions by collecting like terms. It begins with a stock take scenario after a robbery and students having to find an expression for the value of missing items to give to the police. This is built up slowly with having to categorise the items not taken, think about quicker ways they could do this and then look at the difference between two stock takes of the items. This then leads into a discussion of the definitions a variable, term and expression. Leading to a discussion opportunity as to whether some expressions displayed on the board could be written differently. There is then a true false activity to discuss and hammer out algebraic notation misconceptions. Leading to 8 different examples of increasing difficulty fully modelled (Delete as appropriate for the class level) After each pair of examples there are two miniature whiteboard questions (16 mini white board questions in total) This then leads to an interactive board game where the students have to come to the board or work in teams to select the expressions which simplify to make a certain expression. There is then a tarsia activity attached. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1& 2 and a stretch 1 and 2. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Miss B

All answers are provided I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of rounding to decimal places . It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer 4 questions based around rounding to the nearest whole, ten and hundred. This is then followed by a class discussion and definition of what rounding is and why we might round. Leading into the main part of the lesson. Rounding to 1 decimal place - 3 examples - Code breaker activity where students have to round the numbers and equate these to a letter in the key. It makes a maths joke. Rounding to 2 decimal places - 3 examples - Multiple choice mini whiteboard quiz (6 questions) This then leads into an exercise including 15 questions which get progressively harder. - 5 x 1 decimal place - 5 x 2 decimal place - 5 x 3 decimal place The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 3 separate sections a skill 1& 2 and a stretch 1. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use.
