I have included instructions on the slides of where to click to show the questions please deleted them off before you use it.

Here is a complete lesson on Pythagoras' theorem with included assessment opportunities and printable differentiated worksheets on the IWB. Extension tasks using Pythagoras to find perimeters and areas of shapes too. There is a quality activity which I printed out where pupils have to role 2 dice to select the base and height of a right angled triangle then use the information to calculate the hypotenuse. I have included teacher hints on the slides which need deleting out because there are a lot of things that need clicking or pulling out. Enjoy!

KS3 Algebra activity. Class game where pupils have to answer questions in teams to win a game of blockbusters. (Template is easy to edit to make your own)

An activity for pupils to play in pairs based on blooms or a way to provide differentiated questioning to pupils. Just as in normal noughts and crosses pupils need to make a line of 3, but instead of nought and crosses they must write their answer in a noughts and crosses grid. As an extension for those who finish I get them to work as a pair to complete the rest of the grid.

Feedback and improvements welcome!

A collection of 10 problems complete with solutions which I used with some high ability Y9 pupils. Good lesson starter. It gave them all something to think about and work on in small groups.

A smartboard file with area and perimeter questions. Nice plenary at the end with pupils having to sort sorts into two boxes on area and perimeter.

A collection of 6 linear foundation catchphrase puzzles looking at a range of key topics including algebra, shape and space, number and some data. Great way to make revision a little bit different!

This is a complete lesson on calculating the area of compound shapes. It is a great introduction to compound area starting by looking at counting squares before moving onto rectangles and triangles before then compound areas. It also contains a nice thoughts and crosses activity on area and a fantastic functional problem.

Here is an activity I used to consolidate finding areas of circles 'Usain's Insane Circle Race'. Pupils answer questions to move their runner down the track. My pupils loved it! Feel free to switch the picture of me.

Here is a full lesson on calculating the areas of compound shapes made from rectangles. The lesson contains examples, spot the error task, a differentiated worksheet. All answers included on the slides. Hope it helps and have fun teaching!

Here is a set of blank top trump cards on pop stars on pop stars along with a rating sheet. Pupils had to complete the rating sheet ranking each star out of 20 on various categories then design questions on the cards which had the same answer as the rating.

I used them for BIDMAS/BODMAS but they could also be used for anything such as percentages, fractions, rounding or basic number.

SImple catchphrase puzzle on smart notebook covering some basic elements of substitution.

Here is a lesson on similar triangles where pupils need to calculate scale factors. It starts with pupils using it to calculate the height of a building and looking at some examples. Before pupils trying some differentiated questions then applying the skills to 2D and 3D objects. I have included teacher hints on the IWB showing where to click things please delete these out.

Here is a full lesson on calculating a percentage increase and decrease using the multiplier method. It recaps converting between decimals and percentages, it looks at using the multiplier method to find a percentage before moving onto percentage increases and decrease using the multiplier method. It contains examples, questions, a true or false activity, a differentiated worksheet, a plenary and all solutions are included on the slides. Hope it helps and I hope you enjoy teaching it!

Think of a number (algebraic proof)This is a collection of resources I made for a lesson to introduce the idea of algebraic proof to a year 7 class. I gave prep sheet for homework, then we completed proof as class. Using 'blob and dot algebra' then real algebra. Pupils then made their own puzzles and a poster. They really enjoyed it!
