Laws of Indices

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.

Scatter Graphs

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

“Mastering” the March 2013 H papers …

I know as a teacher when you have a great resource, sometimes … Read more

Expanding and simplify 2

The attached (and solution) has been put together as an extension to an earlier connect 4 I made for this subject. The idea is that students can be pushed on once they are confident with simple expanding and simplifying  – if I get through both of these in one lesson with my year 10s I’ll be a happy … Read more

I’m planning on doing some basic numeracy skills with my year 9’s over  the next few weeks and working with negatives is one thing that I know needs constantly refreshing, so I’ve put together the attached “followme” style worksheet and solution.
