Simplifying Surds

Click here to download the resource I created this for my class. There’s quite a lot here. A starter, some example problem pairs, some activities etc. The usual. The main activity is a total rip off of an activity I saw on Jo Morgan’s resourceaholic, though (although there’s a strong argument to be made that… Read More »

Reverse Percentages

Download the resource here Again, simple. There’s example problem pairs covering discounts/price increases and three exercises of questions. Not much more to say. Again, if you want to get in contact about collating these somewhere where people will actually see them, hit me up on Twitter. I’m @ticktockmaths.

Dividing Decimals

Download the resource here The words I used in the TES description were ‘simple but comprehensive’. That’s what I’ve tried to aim for here. I’ve started with divisions that produce a decimal answer, which isn’t technically decimal division but I think is an important intro. Again, there’s not much to this, but what is there… Read More »

Solving Equations with brackets

I don’t normally do ‘correct the work’ because I’ve had limited success with it in the past, but I’ve always… Read More »

Bounds

Download the PowerPoint/Worksheet here I’ve massively overhauled my previous bounds PowerPoint, which I think was pretty poor and needed updating. Loads of stuff here. One of things I did was screenshot some of this and put it into mathigon’s Polypad, and use that website’s number lines to really try and dig into the understanding. There’s… Read More »

The Cosine Rule

Download the resources here. I did the Sine Rule ages ago but never got around to doing cosine rule stuff. I think because the Mathspad activities are so good! I didn’t go much into labelling the sides (which maybe I need to in future) or putting it all together. I think I’m going to do… Read More »
