Useful Information
CRB Check and Qualifications
Copies of my CRB check and my professional
qualifications are available on request. Please contact
me via the contact page.
Examination Boards
*AQA. www.aqa.org.uk
*OCR. www.ocr.org.uk
*Edexcel. www.edexcel.com
The three sites above are useful for providing
information about examination subjects and as a source of
specifications, past papers and mark schemes. AQA seems
to offer the most past papers for free download.
Graph Paper
If you need some graph paper you can print
it off from:
* www.gcse.com/downloads.htm
OR,
* www.mathsphere.co.uk/resources/
For plotting graphs I find the 2mm graph
paper easiest to use. From this latter site, there are many
types of graph paper to download; including the ’dotty’
isometric paper that is used sometimes in maths when drawing
’3D’ objects.
Times Tables
www.teachingtables.co.uk
various games involving times tables.
Some games involve two players competing.
www.mathsisfun.com
In this site you can test your tables
and do many other activities associated with maths.
www.mathschase.com
Maths Chase provides free maths games
to help students learn. Test your times tables, addition
and other maths skills in a fun and engaging way.
Useful Websites
From the vast majority of these websites
downloads are free or there are some free downloads and
you have to subscribe to get access to all the downloads.
Usually you have pay to subscribe, but sometimes you can
register/subscribe for nothing.
Obviously I have not had time to explore
all these sites, but I have looked at them all and thought
that they had some merit. The sites that I have used myself
and found useful are marked with a *.
Some websites appear more than once in
the list. That is because they contain material suitable
for more than one Key stage.
Key Stages 1-2 (Pre-Secondary School)
Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9)
Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11, GCSE)
Key Stage 5 (Years 12-13, AS, A2 Level)
