I wanted some more interesting recurring decimals problems to use with one of my GCSE groups and I couldn’t find many online, so I wrote my own! Harder Recurring Decimals Problems (editable Word document)

I’m starting differentiation with my Year 12 group, and before we get started with the process of differentiating algebraically, I wanted to make sure they have a solid understanding of what the gradient function actually is, and how its graph links to the graph of the original function. Original functions are in red, and derivatives

A fill in the blank activity for hidden quadratics. All the quadratics are monic and factorisable, and the index equations have integer solutions (so no logarithms needed). Hidden Quadratics Fill in the Blank (Editable Word document)
After the success of the core pure practice papers, I have written a further mechanics 1 practice paper (based on the Edexcel specification). Please do let me know of any errors! Further Mechanics 1 Practice Paper (Solutions)

My Year 13 further maths group have diligently worked through all of the past papers (often more than once). To keep them going up to the first core pure exam (and to stop them getting bored!) I wrote two brand new practice papers, with solutions (this is for the Edexcel specification). I think the difficulty

After the enhanced content guidance was released for Edexcel Further Maths, I saw that the equation of the line of intersection is required. I could find very few questions for this and didn’t want to spent a long time writing some, so I wrote a generator in HTML and JavaScript to generate questions (guaranteed to

Another revision request from my Year 13 group was domain and range of functions. This seems to be a topic that students always find tricky. I created this matching activity (only one page is shown in the picture). It worked really well – the most difficult bit for them was distinguishing between the various reciprocal

Another thing my Year 13 group found tricky was using a binomial expansion to approximate surds. I wrote this fill in the blanks activity, starting off fairly straightforward and ending with them needing to work backwards. Binomial Expansion

When revising numerical methods, my Year 13 group found the final part of trapezium rule questions, where you need to use the previous part, difficult. I wrote this worksheet for them to do. Trapezium Rule
