I'm a secondary school maths teacher with a passion for creating high quality resources. All of my complete lesson resources come as single powerpoint files, so everything you need is in one place. Slides have a clean, unfussy layout and I'm not big on plastering learning objectives or acronyms everywhere. My aim is to incorporate interesting, purposeful activities that really make pupils think. I have a website coming soon!

Base arithmetic

FREE
(3)
Looks at switching between different bases and the effect of base on arithmetic and divisibility tests.Plus an excel 'base switch&' calculator. A good enrichment task with a historical/real-life aspect, though probably best for more able pupils.

Times Tables Game

FREE
(1)
A very simple but motivating game where pupils race to complete a grid of times tables. Separate instructions attached. Also a spreadsheet which reveals answers and can be used to keep track of pupil progress (I maintain records of pupils' personal bests on there). A good task for settling a class that requires minimal preparation.
The Maths of Cycling

The Maths of Cycling

FREE
(13)
A brief look at some of the Maths that underpins cycling performance - how gear ratios, gradient, air resistance and power output effect speed. Requires, ideally, some familiarity with ratios, linear & cubic formulae and functions. Includes some worksheets (at end of presentation) for printing. Nicely timed for the Tour de France. Suggestions for improvement welcome as I wonder if the content is a bit dry!
