The third lesson in a series slowly allowing students to master the simplification of expressions. The powerpoint talks students through what we do when we simplify expressions such as 3a multiplied by 2b. The fully differentiated resource which can be written on starts with one star (easy) which is multi-choice and progresses through more advanced expressions which need simplifying. Answers not included.

Complete lesson: powerpoint to show how tow write the probability of an event as a fraction. The fully differentiated write-on resource goes from 1 star (simple shape questions with no reduction) through 2 star (more common context) to 3 star (problems involving simple conditional). There is also a multi-choice homework to accompany the lesson.

Running off the back of the introductory differential equations lesson, this is a full set of resources to teach the solution of first order separable equations. The powerpoint takes students through the procedure. The resource is leveled and has the answers. The homework sheet consists of 4 questions with model solutions.

The lesson is a fully differentiated write on resource that reviews classifying angles, measuring angles, angle calculations (point, line, triangle, parallel). The other 3 documents are multi-choice revision which can be used as homeworks. Great for students working at grades 1/2/3

Whole lesson on interior, alternate, corresponding angles. There is a multi-choice starter reviewing the angle sum of a triangle. The main presentation is animated to show where corresponding angles come from. There are then some basic definitions and some worked examples with geometric reasoning. The last few slides are just questions for you to annotate at the board with your class. The spreadsheet contains multiple tasks and so can be differentiated to suit your students. Easier tasks are multi-choice and harder questions will challenge the more able

Aimed at very young and/or low ability foundation students, this is a lesson where students will simply be told how Pythagoras allows us to calculate the missing side on a right angled triangle. The powerpoint takes them through step by step and the resource that accompanies it is fully differentiated and write-on so that no time is wasted drawing diagrams

An entire lesson on measuring angles. The starter is a simple differentiated number chain. The powerpoint includes a fully animated protractor and steps on how to use it correctly. The resource that accompanies can be printed to an A4 booklet and should allow a standard school protractor to fit on each angle nicely. The task is differentiated with the easiest angles all being read from the right hand scale. As some students will grasp this quicker I have included a simple coins and totals exercises for those who finish early. Note this lesson does not include measuring reflex angles, as this is rare to examination papers. Perhaps this could be shown in a plenary

A whole fully differentiated lesson which introduces students to simple proportional problems such as "3 cakes cost £4.50, how much will 5 cost?" The powerpoint takes students through the unitary method. The fully differentiated resource (1 star, 2 star, 3 star) can be printed and students can write on the sheet. The resource contains a notes section which, when stuck in their books, gives them a reference. The students select which level of work they wish to work on. Answers are not supplied.

An entire lesson for any student starting to round a number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000. The starter is 10 simple questions which are true or false (5 minutes). The powerpoint takes the students through the method of rounding a number of any size to the nearest 10,100 or 1000. The resource that accompanies the lesson is a fully differentiated book (1 star:supported to 3 star: no help needed) which students can write on.

An entire lesson on the often examined topic of product of primes. The powerpoint introduces prime numbers and then goes onto using the tree method to write a whole number as a product of primes. The resources is fully differentiated using a star system and students can write on the resource, ensuring that their work is neat and easy to assess.

This is a daily task we are going to use in our centre to help our Year 13 students start to think about last year’s content. There are 6 pure, 2 mechanics and 2 statistics questions. Questions have been devised by myself and based on classic examination style questions. Model solutions are provided, although staff may want to check for errors!

A simple differentiated 5 minute starter for any student of any age who needs regular practise of basic facts. Answers are shown

5 minute warm up with three different tiers of questions. Students select the tier of questions and have 5 minutes to answer as many as they can. Answers are on the next slide. Great for lesson starters with any students working at basic level (GCSE grades 1/2/3)

One a day. Multi choice for students aiming for a grade 4 at foundation GCSE.

Complete first lesson on partial fraction decomposition. Fully differentiated resource which students can complete. Full solutions given. Full demo included.

An entire lesson that shows students the value of the digits in a decimal number. There is a differentiated starter where students have to recall simple doubles. The powerpoint then shows students which label we attach to which digit. It goes into an extension of converting decimals to fractions if so interested. The fully differentiated resource contains 3 bonus worksheets which can all be printed off and written on by the students

A lesson to introduce negative number and where they arise. The starter is a differentiated student choice mental addition and subtraction exercise where students must work out the missing number in a chain that gives a certain total. The answers are shown on this. The main powerpoint shows an animated use of a number line as a thermometer but also as a height indicator and as profit and loss. The spreadsheet contains multiple resources which you can chose, many of which are differentiated and all of which are write-on so that students do not have to spend tim drawing things

A simple but effective lesson designed to brush up on students basic addition and subtraction skills under the backdrop of money. This is based on the old SATS questions where students would be asked to make different combinations of coins that gave a certain total. The powerpoint contains a variety of questions and then the resource has multiple tasks on different sheets that you can use to differentiate. Some are interactive and will change by pressing F9 on the sheet, thus creating an infinite amount of variations. Surprisingly challenging and always relevant.

This is really two lessons in one. I use it over two successive lessons. The first lesson covers basic angle sum of a triangle and the second the special case of the isosceles triangle. The starter gets students to estimate 10 angles and then the powerpoint takes students through how to calculate the missing angle in a diagram. The resource contains two booklets that can be printed off in booklet form for the students to write on....thus no time wasted drawing diagrams. The numbers are normally multiples of 5 and so this can be done mentally

This is two lessons in one to allow students to practise the factor theorem. The new specification does not specifically refer to the remainder theorem but the classic problems are still worth looking at to get students to practice the skills involved. The powerpoint (which has a starter) will take students through the types of problem involving finding unknown coefficients. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. The other lesson simply reinforces this work
