Fractions and percentages with a calculator
Covers a little revision on metric conversion and finding the HCF of two numbers to motivate cancelling down (section A, B). Then finding value of a fraction using a calculator (C) and writing one quantity as a fraction of another (D). Moves into finding the value of a percentage (E) and then writing one quantity as a percentage of another (F). Brief look at percentage increase and decrease (G) and Index numbers, new on the GCSE syllabus (H). This handout is used to focus a lesson delivered in a community centre with a small flip-chart. There are card sorting activities and worksheets to go with it.

Quick module 5 questions
These questions were written to go with a set of revision flashcards downloaded from TES net. I selected the flashcards relevant to Module 5 of the AQA GCSE (most of them apart from the data handling ones).

The questions on this worksheet are designed to mix some of the 'tricky' questions that are found on the Module 5 with the more straightforward calculation questions.

Angle property flashcards
As below printed 6 up on two sides of A4 as a PDF for use as a handout. Students have to add certain basic facts as they go along.

Angle property screens with questions
18 flashcards about angle properties including naming the angles (acute, obtuse &c) and angles at a point, line, two lines crossing, and on parallel lines. Also triangles, quadrilaterals and (other) polygons. With 6 slides with questions aimed at gcse Foundation at the end.

Regular polygons investigation table
Just an A4 sheet with a table to capture data about regular polygons. The columns are headed Name, Number of sides, Total interior angle, Interior angle, Exterior angle. There are six rows, and my lesson plan is to look at the equilateral triangle, the square, the pentagon, the hexagon, the heptagon and the octagon and then go for a formula based on the patterns.

One side A4 handout with regular polygons
A triangle, a square, a pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and an octagon. The polygons with the larger sides are scaled up. Designed for partitioning into triangles, and for working out interior and exterior angles.

Quadrilaterals example sheet
Just a pdf with a selection of quadrilaterals including a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a kite (upside down but not rotated), an isosceles trapezium, a trapezium with one end at right angles to the parallel lines, and a couple of 'random' quadrilaterals. Designed for use with the quadrilaterals property table and the quadrilaterals 'true/false' sheet.

Module 1 probability practice questions for GCSE
Two sides A4 with a summary of the basic formulas/ideas in a table (probability formula, expected frequency formula, probabilities add to one formula).

Four questions: complete the table on a spinner with expected frequency, balls in a bag, fraction line question (find events that will have a probability of a given fraction), and a two way frequency table question.

The fraction line question went down very well tonight,

Number paper practice questions for gcse
22 questions about basic number work (no ratio or fractions addition, they come later) with little vocabulary or context, mostly symbols including the 'fill in the gaps' questions.

Then 10 story questions, including a two stage percentage change question and a reverse percentage question.

Both with numerical answers, two sides A4.

Data: box and whisker plot summary and question
Just a quick summary of the box and whisker plot and a question with the min, lq, median, uq and max given and a scaled grid to draw the chart.

Meant as a quick 10 minute revision task and a summary for revision by the students nearer the Module 1 exam.

Data: scatter diagram question
Another one side 10 minute question to check recall of the vocabulary, spotting the outliers and drawing line of best fit. Data set about age and blood pressure after exercise. One data point has been fiddled so it is clearly an outlier. Asks for how removing this point would change the correlation. Line of best fit and a prediction question.

Data: Cumulative Frequency Diagram question
One side A4 with a frequency table, a spare column for the cumulative frequencies and a grid with scales to plot the curve on. Questions ask for median, quartiles and iqr. Also a question about what percentage more than a certain value of the variable.

Meant for a quick 10 minute revision exercise for Module 1 exam soon, and so the students have (another) one side summary of cumulative frequency.

Data: frequency diagram question
Just for revision for the module 1 exams soon. A frequency diagram question with grid and data set all on one side of A4.

I quickly sketch the answers on the interactive whiteboard using 'overlay', then we make some revision notes based on what each student finds they need to remember.

Probability basics
Two side worksheet with the definition of an event, and an outcome and some questions based on coins, dice and packs of cards.

The first activity was designed to get people talking. A much better talking point was the National Lottery!

Graphs and coordinates part 1
Three sides introducing (x,y) notation and the patterns associated with a straight line graph. Some work on coordinate geometry (i.e. find the coordinate to complete the rectangle/isosceles triangle/kite). Plotting from formulas for simple cases. Idea that the constant in the y=3x +1 type formula controls how far up the Y axis the line is...

Graph grids with points and labels produced using pyxplot 8.01, and nice they look as well. Page about using this software coming soon.

Box multiply worksheet
A 'vertical multiplication' worksheet with box multiplication examples for whole numbers, fractions and algebraic expressions including quadratics. 30 questions with answers on page 3 and 4. This is meant as a bit of consolidation after the holiday and an attempt to build a bit of a schema about multiplying.
