Simple set of matching cards to help students understand demand and supply graph shifts. (Simply cut them up and get the pupils to work out how they go together.) Hope they save somebody ten minutes work.

Students very much enjoy discussing topics in Economics that are relevant to then. This little cluster of resources enables teachers to discuss the recent launch of the Kindle Fire and how it affects demand and supply for the iPad. It includes a student made poster as well in Publisher and PDF Format. Do students think this is the correct interpretation or do thet think they could do it better? (This resource could also be used for ICT when discussing new technology.)

Students really enjoy making a Top Trumps Database and its a nice way to introduce them to basic Databasing concepts. (Designed for MS Access 2007 & 2010)

This presentation provides practical advice on how to deal with students who have Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome. It is based on a classroom study and I hope it is helpful.

This is a printable ICT GCSE Glossary to help students with the Edexcel GCSE in ICT. Annoyingly there is not one in the back of the students book, so I’ve tried to create this one for students folders. I’ve also included an Excel version, which can be used for resource development and on-screen viewing. Please let me know if there are any words missing.

This resource is a handout that enables students to create their own money board game. It is useful for revising personal finance in PSHE. In Business studies it can be used to revise Marketing and Competition. Students will need paper, colouring pencils, sellotape and scissors to make the game.

This survey shows how not to do it! A great lesson for students to see that even adults make very silly mistakes and a real confidence builder for them to note how they could do it better. This resource now includes a detailed lesson plan and Worksheet for making your own survey.

This assembly was given to Key stage 4 & 5 to illustrate the importance of acknowledging sources and how important it becomes when doing UCAS applications and in university.

Due to popular demand, here is a copy of the 'comprehensive' lesson plan I used during my PGCE. It is a blank plan designed to be very comprehensive and it ensured that I covered as many of the standards as possible. With the template, each lesson took about 15 minutes to make. Of course feel free to take a Pick and Mix approach. I&'ve also included a link to my page on seating layouts for those who are interested, which includes a zipped set of WMF drawing files for use in Microsoft Office.

This little platform game uses the least code, I could possibly get away with. Nice for newbies to code a 'Mario' style game. Also my students tell me its actually quite a challenging little game. Easy coding doesn't necessarily mean an easy game...

This tutorial introduces infographics, which are used widely by communication professionals to share information and in some cases argue their case persuasively. I set this up to encourage year 7's to use Spreadsheets effectively, but this is even more useful for introducing staff to the idea of processing information into digestible chunks especially for Mathematics. Very useful for dyscalculia students.

The link is a great little tool to show how fast somebody can read from Staples. I've also included a printable version from my Website, so that you can share with your class. This could be a nice little starter to lead into a discussion about how to improve reading and how the purpose changes the speed and technique used to read.

Although Matilda was supposed to be 5, I'd challenge any 5 year old to actually do this maths in their heads! If you are reading Matilda to a class, this is a very nice way to introduce Spreadsheets in KS2 or could be used as an exercise in KS3. You will need the book Matilda by Roald Dahl (Pages 45 - 47) to make full use of this exercise, but could be done as a standalone. Also a good example of real life Maths for a Maths lesson. (I would stress this is based on the book rather than the film, which has different Maths)

To encourage others to understand what a Dyslexic person might be going through. Ideal for raising awareness of the condition and encouraging discussion. If you can't read the mirrored text in Adobe Reader you can just copy and paste it or I have provided text file for easy reference.

This handy little worksheet is designed as a refresher for Spreadsheet Formulae and can be used whilst PCs are booting up or as a plenary to ensure understanding. I've used it from Year 7 through to year 11. There is also an Excel Spreadsheet with all the formulae and answers. It should be zoomed, so that you can scroll down and reveal the answers one by one.

This encourages students to think about what they are good at, what they need to improve on, the opportunities available to them and what might stop them achieving them. Very handy for PSHE, Drama or Business studies.

In my role as Internet Safety Officer, I originally did this presentation for an assembly, but have since used it to guide parents. As a workshop with questions it takes about 45 minutes, but as an assembly you might need to take out some of the slides to fit your assembly timings. There are notes in the slides if this is being presented by somebody who is not technical and the aim is to encourage discussion between parents and children.

This little PowerPoint generates random interview questions that can be asked for school magazines, speaking and listening skills and idea generators for interview pieces. (Made it for Performing Arts enrichment, so that students can interview the cast.)

This little lesson encourages students to design their own magazine cover and think about what is required to make something that is attractive enough to buy.

This little Spreadsheet instantly generates problems and answers, so that students can work hard whilst you enjoy a few moments respite. The Spreadsheet formulae have been kept as simple as humanly possible. So once in a while it might try to divide by 0 or throw up ridiculous figures that are most unlikely to occur in real life. If it happens, just press F9 and you will get a new puzzle. Please let me know if there's any gremlins, you like it or if it could be extended in anyway.
