Resources

Though I am firmly of the thinking ‘do not reinvent the wheel‘ and magpie lots of my resources from others, I have created a nice little bundle of things myself over the years. I’ll be updating this space with things I’ve made myself in the hope that I can be even a tiny bit as helpful as everyone else I’ve been stealing from the past few years.

To save repeating myself, I have borrowed a lot from the following resource creators that share a huge amount of brilliant stuff, often for FREE or for a very small fee! A huge thank you to (A-Z):

Boss Maths, Corbett Maths,Diagnostic Questions, Don Steward, Dr Frost Maths, GoTeachMaths, MathsBot, mathsHKO, MathsPad, PixiMaths, SketchCPD, Starting Points Maths, TaylorDa01,Variation Theory

Please let me know if anything on the shared resources belongs to you and I will make sure you are credited above or that particular slides are removed if you wish. I’ve tried to only upload things that are free or totally mine, but there’s always that little worry! 

Resources (A-Z)

Angles in Parallel Lines – Missing Angles Gap Fill  (Answers) – Focus on justifications for missing angles in parallel lines.

Angles in Polygons (Interior Only) – SlidesSheet

Expanding Single Brackets

Expanding Binomials

Factorising (Single Brackets)

Multiplicative Counting – Questions covering counting principle and basic permutations and combinations with 2 variables. No knowledge of factorials or A Level formulas required – all build from multiplicative counting principle.

Surds Lessons – From simplification to rationalising denominators. (These are now quite old as from 2019, but I still like the progression!)

Types of Sequence slides including gap fill notes – Introduction to linear, geometric, quadratic and Fibonnaci-type sequences.

Venn Diagram and Set Notation Handout & Associated Slides – Introduction to set notation and venn diragrams from the new GCSE, produced alongside AQA guidance documents.

Completion Tables

Please read Completion Tables (feat. Jonny Hall) to hear about how obsessed I am with them.

Some of my own here:

Index Laws Completion Table

Plans and Elevations Completion Table

Median and Range Completion Table

I can’t take credit for these completion tables from the lovely @StudyMaths (MathsBot.com/Tables), as I didn’t code them… but I contributed some of the mathematical ideas behind these ones:

Functions

Laws of Indices (this one is an automation of my slides above)

Line Segments

Percentages

All Through Scheme of Work

Ihave talked to a lot of people over the past few years about a huge piece of work I did over the COVID lockdowns to map an ‘All Through’ Scheme of Work for students in Secondary School.

This project needs a huge blog to go alongside it, or even a series of them, but there are a number of elements I think are worth sharing before this all gets written up:

  • National Curriculum Mapping (KS1-KS4) – Shows where students first see and idea, and where it fits in KS3/4 curricula
  • SoW order – Including interleaving/spacing of topics for “Recall Do Now” and homework tasks. By no means is this perfect but did take a couple of hundred hours!
  • Year 7 baseline and associated QLA to aid with setting based on gap analysis
