GCSE Maths, bearings. A set of PowerPoint slides to introduce the topic, teaching enough for learners to try some themselves. All images (c) Colin Billett 2017 A follow on from this, introducing the geometric aspect, is also free. And a couple of worksheets plus a plenary/revision quid are available for two pounds only! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-gcse-bearings-two-differentiated-worksheets-plus-plenary-quiz-in-pp-all-with-answers-11505938

Typical GCSE questions put into a powerpoint for group discussion, and worksheets for learners.

Can't say it is an introduction, but it is for post 16 learners, who I throw in at the deep end, or somewhere near it. An assortment of functions, formulas and some simplification, mostly copied from exam papers with a bit of poetic license. Later ones will be more specific in the topics.

Powepoint accompanyment to exploring a variety of concepts using tetrominoes - symmetry, tesselations, transformations. The learners explore the shapes, and discover the five tetrominoes, then explore the concepts.

A serious of simple tasks that lead to identifying primes, then GCSE questions on products of primes, LCM and HCF etc.

A brief warm up/review activitiy using numbered cards to find mean, median, mode and range, with simple starter questions followed by learners selecting numbers to fit the conditions. Some are not possible, I might add. Colourful and kinaesthetic, as my learners like it to be. Enjoy.

A PowerPoint display with coloured creation of square numbers and triangular numbers, with a couple of other patterns thrown in for fun. An ideal activity for KS3 students.

Some typical GCSE style questions, plus some more extended ones to generate discussion. Difficulty is from around A to D.

A few slides to generate thought and discussion on the issues of inclusion and exclusion, and how we embrace diversity.

A brief introduction using PowerPoint and real data from my adult learners.

A powerpoint quiz covering all the aspects of KS2 algebra, and great for revision in KS3 or older. Pupils should be taught to: • use simple formulae • generate and describe linear number sequences • express missing number problems algebraically • find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns • enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables.

Simple worksheet of GCSE style questions.

A handful of activities I did to get the topics started for my adult GCSE and re-sit classes, largely so I could introduce them whilst seated during my convalescence. At the same time they might be useful for younger learners and for quick revision. After years of laying out cards I realised it was just as easy to print PowerPoint slides as handouts, six to a page, and do that on card. So there are equations to match to solutions, and a few other PowerPoints. Enjoy.

GCSE style questions on linear equations. If you have trouble with the Word, I hope the pdf has all the images/equations.

I teach 16 plus learners in a thirty or so week programme for GCSE - some retake and some new learners. What I have done here is put the Edexcel Linear A new scheme into the weekly slots, and devided all the criteria/spec statements into Aims and Objectives. I wouldn't expect anyone to follow the same order, or keep my jokes, but please copy slides as you want. Inspectors love to see the aims pasted up, so I use PowerPoint.

Solid shapes come up with reassuring regularity on GCSE papers, yet are often done badly, accoring to examiner's reports. Each time we struggle with a concept I make a net for the learners to cut out and hence aid understanding. The prism is very useful - I get the learners to write down as many questions as they can - volume, surface area, faces, vertices, edges, and so on. It works for us!

In this PowerPoint are a few questions to get learners to look at percentages from puzzles - the mathematics is not difficult, the learners simply need to consider creative approaches. The questions give everyday examples.

A set of patterns to complete to illustrate the consistency of the four rules of operation as applied to negative numbers, and hopefully remove the mystery.

A set of cards, to be double sided, with statistical data and assorted good/bad/rubbish ways of representing the data. Some of it from old exam papers, other from real data.

Exactly what it says - a single page of formulae to be memorised for 2017 maths exams.
