I have added two new topic collections of exam questions (from various exam boards) to the free stuff section – compound interest (in Number) and collecting like terms (in Algebra) . The latter is simple and more suited to Foundation students, but with this weeks publication of the consultation for the programme of study at KS4 … Read more
I know it isn’t what really happens, but in the deepest darkest months of the year it sometimes feels like “Teach – test – mark – teach – test –mark”. This is not a gripe about assessment or the amount we test out students as I genuinely think that we have the right balance, but … Read more
WOW!!! We’ve made the news. Check it out … here … Chuffed to bits to see lots of our resources featured. What started off as us sharing resources through the blog has shown that there is a demand for innovative resources, rather than a plain old worksheet. Make sure you check in regularly as we are in … Read more
I know! I know! I know! Its the Christmas holidays! I don’t need anyone else nagging me … if I wanted that I would actually listen to my husband. The next half term is a real short one, and I know that its going to be a busy one; so far the list reads like … Read more
I’ve put the attached worksheet together for PRODUCT OF PRIME FACTORS. We have been using similar differentiated worksheets for a while at school, and I am trying to put them together for most KS3 and KS4 topics; the idea is that they get progressively harder and you allow the students to make the decision as to whether … Read more

I have recently put together some activities for two way tables, and as I said on the last blog, many exam boards now include questions that involve more than finishing a partially completed two-way table. This activity involves the students working through the questions to form the actual worded part of the question, which then gives … Read more
How do you incorporate some of the higher-order thinking skills into a lesson about two-way tables? Rather than just getting the students to do “more of the same” I have produced the attached activity that initially involves them completing a worksheet with five partially completed tables, but they then have to use this information to … Read more
Now that I’ve been relocated some of you may have noticed that my last week of posts have disappeared; if you haven’t noticed take my word for it! We all know how stressful moving is – its said to be one of the most stressful things that people go through – but I am pleased … Read more
Mrs Ms Christmas Quiz. Every term I put together a different quiz lesson (Xmas – Quiz – 2012) that the whole department uses. Usually I let the students choose their own teams (its the only time of the year that I let them do this and they know that to be the case) and they spend a … Read more
