There are THREE of us involved in JustMaths ….. trust me (I’m a maths teacher!) there are definitely three of us … 1. There’s me! 2. Many of you that drop by this blog met Seager (sorry I should call him Christian, but can’t bring myself to do it … he’s just Seager!) last weekend when … Read more
As part of my “mastery” (not sure if that’s the right word!) series of lessons with my year 10’s – I’ve put this worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q5 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching sequences. Only another 18 questions left on … Read more
Further to my post yesterday I’ve put this worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q9 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching indices – it includes a “must. should and could” style exercise before the students attempt the exam questions on the reverse. I’m … Read more
Been a bit busy today .. attached is a connect 4 – along with the solution – that I’ve done weeks ago – its the first in a series of worksheets for solving equations that I’m doing for my year 9’s. This one I’m adapting for one of the worksheets for my test review lessons (see below blogs) … so … Read more
Further to my post yesterday I’ve put the attached worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q2 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper (which we used as an internal test) correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching scatter graphs. I’m going to use it as part of my “mastery” lessons … Read more

Last night I had every intention of this worksheet (and solution) being purely for standard form, but I got thinking about how teaching in discrete topics sometimes means that the students are able to demonstrate their understanding at that moment in time, but a couple of weeks later its gone! (its probably the same for every topic with some … Read more
This is topic that I find students need reminding about – it just doesn’t seem to stick for some of them. Its also a topic that isn’t worth a great deal of marks on an exam BUT seems to make an appearance every exam session, and every mark counts so I’ve put the attached Connect … Read more
For the last 4 or 5 months or so I’ve been tweeting using a separate Twitter account (@ReviseJustMaths) that is used purely to tweet past GCSE exam questions from all the major exam boards – these are then shortly followed by a worked solution and sometimes with a little hint or tip (maybe they are just my ramblings … Read more
A recent tweet from Tom Riley (@riley_ed) reminded me that I’ve been meaning to blog (I’ve been all over the place for the last couple of weeks!!) about the worked solutions we’ll be doing for any future resources I put on the website. I know as a teacher when you have a great resource, sometimes … Read more
