I had a bit of a shocker with my Year 7 class this week when teaching pie chart angles, so i've broken down a task as a backwards faded worksheet - available to download as a .pdf and editable .ppt here: mrchapmanmaths.wordpress.com/2025/03/19/c...

New blog post: Posing Problems with Paper-Folding

It looks at how a single paper-folding activity can be used in various ways by supplementing it with different questions.

Every time I teach fractions to Y7 there are students who already feel they have mastered it. So it was great in #Mathstoday when exploring the relationship between the numerator and denominator, to see that this was new to the whole class as a way to spot equivalent fractions. #MathsChat #Mathtoday

Made a few revision grids. Again aimed at a GCSE Statistics Foundation class but may be helpful for Higher Tier students.

Feel free to use/adapt! Let me know if you use them and spot any errors.

GCSE Statistics - foundation aimed revision worksheet!
10 pages, 15 questions. Focusing on the basics. Made it for my class.
Could be useful for higher tier too.

Aiming to make some more soon

A partial net of a cuboid box together with certain triangles that fill in various diagonals. Specifically, the base and two adjacent sides of the box, then a triangle that lies over the base to give the diagonal of the base, this joins to two triangles that (when assembled) would be vertical with one giving the diagonal of a side and the other the diagonal across the whole box. Finally another triangle to join these last two diagonals together.

Various lengths that become sides of the cuboid are labelled a,b,c so that all lengths can be determined in terms of these three lengths.

Gave my Y9s this diagram for #MathsToday. Picked a few numbers for a,b,c and then their task was to work out all the lengths and angles.

Next lesson we'll cut it out and reassemble it and they'll discover that they've secretly been doing 3D trig!

Building Up Angle Reasoning Isosceles Triangles and Angle Filtering ResourcesDownload My year 11s are really struggling with β€˜seeing’ angles. Even in cases where there are only two or three β€˜steps’ to …

Couldn’t find a balance between β€˜basic’ angle fact reasoning and GCSE exam-style questions, so did this to try and get my yr11s to see what I see when I look a shape: mrdrapermaths.wordpress.com/2025/04/13/b... (Has some labelling up of isosceles triangle practice bits too that I enjoy!)

I made a couple of new revision resources (one for GCSE, two for A level) that maths teachers might find useful. Quick blog post about them here:

Any recommendations for GCSE maths revision resources where students can practice applying the formulae sheet?

Much appreciated!

Around this time of year with my KS4 classes I take them to a computer room and get them to explore the brilliant maths revision resources that are available to them in a computer room. They rate the resources and take their reviews away for reference.

I split all the GCSE Maths past papers into odd and even numbers making the perfect 45min homework paper. Then I filmed a tutorial vid for each, linked it with a QR code on the front of each paper & listed the Sparx codes for each question. They’re free and you can download them here: bit.ly/4jyYz8C

6 questions of the form:

On a copy of this diagram, mark the cointerior/corresponding/alternate angle. 

The solutions have been drawn on, with the transversals highlighted in yellow.

6 diagrams with some angles given, including ones not needed to answer the question, and one missing that has to be found. They have been answered with the transversals highlighted in yellow.

I used to encourage students to highlight F or Z shapes for parallel lines questions, but today I just told Y9 to highlight the transversal. It’s an easier first step, and they were almost always then able to immediately see what to do next.

Also, I love these MathsPad questions!
