I used this question as a starter to consolidate learning of simultaneous equations with a top set year 10 class. Would work well as a plenary too? The question gets the students to form the simulatenous equations 1st based on a worded question using the characters from Finding Nemo!

This is the second of 17 Mathematics sheets in the 'Raymond&'s Rovers&'; series of my Mathematics Sheets. I use this sheets with Year 11s for revision purposes. Questions 1-5 are aimed at Foundation Tier & Questions 6-10 are aimed at Higher Tier To find out more about how they can be used follow this link to my blog: http://mrcollinsreflectivejournal.blogspot.com/2011/08/mr-collins-table-sheets.html

A powerpoint to aid revision on the AQA GCSE Science C2 exam. This is part 3 of 6 powerpoints I used with my Year 11s, look out for the others.

Here is a powerpoint I used with my Year 11 tutees to revise with them their P2 exam (part of the AQA Science Double Award). This is part 2 of 10 powerpoints I used - look out for the others! All content is linked directly to the AQA specification!

Here's a revision ppt I used with my Year 11s retaking their AQA B1B Science Exam. All content links directly to the AQA syllabus for the B1B exam.

This is a worksheet I created based on the goals scored of 4 teams in the Premier League during the 2011-2012 season. The class work out the mean, median, mode and range goals scored for each from the frequency tables given. Blank columns are given for the students to use, this could easily be differentiated for lower ability classes.

Students work out the shortest path between A and G on the diagram. I used this with my year 8 class as a starter.

KS2/ KS3 Worksheet. I love this! I was Tweeted a link to the following site: http://mathormagic.com/vedic_square by @toots2106 (Chris Talbot) [TES name: chris2106] This is the Vedic Square. A 9 by 9 grid that reveals patterns from the sums of the mutiplications of the numbers. Students work through the w/sheet that I have created based on the website's activity and produce all the different Vedic patterns for each digit from 1-9. I can&'t wait to use this... UPDATED to include completed grids

This is a ppt I put together for my Y10 class sitting their Edexcel (Linked Pair Pilot) METHODS in Mathematics GCSE examinations. I tried to put on all the key formulae they'd need to remember that is not given on the examination formulae sheet.

Here is an interactive Buzzer I made using the 'Family Fortunes' wrong answer sound clip. There is also a link to a multiple buzzer I found on the web which I use for team games in class with a student from each team up at the IWB answering questions. I also use this for the &'around the world&'; activity I run in class (see my blog for more info http://mrcollinsreflectivejournal.blogspot.com)

Mr. Collins' Maths Table Sheets - Collins City 13 Here is the thirteenth of the 'Collins City&' revision table sheets I use with my Year 11s as GCSE revision. Look out for the other &';Collins City' sheets and the &'Raymond Rovers&'; sheets. Questions 1-5 are aimed at Foundation Tier Questions 6-10 are aimed at Higher Tier

Here is a starter I have used when teaching fractions/fractions of amounts. It involves working out the fraction of the cost of a PS3 various family members will pay towards a present. Could also be used as a plenary.

Here is a set of 4 'Thubbles' that I use every now and again to re-engage my learners. The idea is that the students fill in the thought clouds with an appropriate suggestion of what the characters are thinking! You get some rather interesting ideas! I used to use this in Cover lessons when I was waiting for work.

This is my fake class 'Twittter' page that I use once I have done a class 'Tweets' plenary. In the Class 'Tweets' plenary I get my classes to write in a Tweet (140 characters) on post-it notes something they have learnt during the lesson that they did not know previously. The class then stick their post-it notes on the IWB on the way out. I then type up their 'tweets' on to the powerpoint and show the class at the start of the next lesson to show the class what they learnt in their previous lesson

This is my Mathematics version of the TV show 'Pointless' for information as to how I intend to use this in class visit my blog posts http://mrcollinsreflectivejournal.blogspot.com/2012/02/pointless-powerpoint-to-use-with-data.html & http://mrcollinsreflectivejournal.blogspot.com/2012/02/pointless-datathe-results-are-in.html I am to use this as revision with my classes or as an end of term/topic activity. NOW UPDATED WITH THE INCORRECT ANSWER &'X&'; BOARD!

These are a series of revision lessons I have put together following a literacy exhibition lesson I observed. The idea is that you show the students the 1st slide on each & ask what is implied by the image - what could they be asked to do in a GCSE exam question if they were presented with that image? Following their ideas, there are lots of different questions using the intial image. For more information on how I have used these with my classes see http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.co.uk

This is an IWB resource I created to go with my 'Mr Collins&' Table Sheets&'; resources. The idea is that I split my class into the two teams 'Collins City&' and &';Raymonds Rovers' and then using an inflatable football to play a &'match&'; of football with the class as a plenary activity; students answer questions to 'shoot&' or pass to another player. For more information on how I run this activity see my blog post at http://mrcollinsmaths.blogspot.com Resource can be used without the table sheets by printing and handing out the team shirts on slide 2.
