The Easter holidays are here! Phew, fourth dimension for a rest. When nosotros provide to schoolhouse for the summertime term many of us volition start preparing our Year xi classes for their GCSE exams. I wrote a postal service 'Higher GCSE Revision' terminal twelvemonth which includes all my favourite resources exactly I'm e'er on the expect out for novel ideas. Thanks to Maria Howard (@MrsHsNumeracy) for creating a helpful booklet of 'quick grade GCSE questions' grouped yesteryear topic, amongst answers.

2. Starter Cards as well as Negative Numbers

I'm a big fan of MathsPad. Some of their resources are gratis as well as some require a subscription. It's worth following @MathsPadNicola and @MathsPadJames on Twitter.

Nicola late tweeted a link to a novel hit of starter tasks that could move used every bit starters, leave of absence slips or mini-assessments.

Nicola every bit good shared a lovely negative numbers magic foursquare activity.

In response to this, Colin Foster (@colinfoster77) shared the chapter 'Negative Numbers' from his mass Number as well as Algebra. I mean value this volition move actually useful to novel teachers when they instruct negative numbers for the offset time. I similar the multiplication foursquare action which helps students empathise why multiplying 2 negative numbers gives a positive number.

The total laid upwards of Colin's bright books tin move flora here.
