Worksheets should be worked through with the video, ideally by printing off first. There are times in each video where I will tell the students to pause the video to complete questions independently, I then go through the answers when the video is resumed. I give additional work from the below textbooks at the end of each session. Also available from amazon.

CGP has other textbooks for KS3/Year 9, and there's also resources from https://corbettmaths.com/contents/ to supplement any additional work.
Welcome to week 1! This week we'll start our first unit. This is a non calculator unit. You'll need to have your maths set all ready; notes, pen, pencil and your targeted workbook and student book.
Lets get going!
Welcome to week 2! We are continuing with our first unit. This week we'll be looking at standard form and highest common factors and lowest common multiples!
Don't forget you can upload your plenary tasks to podia to share with the community. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Hi Year 9! This week we'll be taking a look at expanding brackets! You'll be revising expanding single brackets, simplifying expressions featuring more than one set of single brackets and looking at different methods to expand double brackets!
Let's get going! :)
Welcome to week 4. Last week we expanded brackets, now we are putting the brackets back in and factorising! Don't forget to get yourself on to our community to show us all of your plenary tasks!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you've all been working on!
Unit 2.4 Factorising Double Brackets
https://corbettmaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Factorising-Quadratics-pdf.pdf
Hi Year 9, you're doing so well with your algebra so far. This week we are going to go over solving equations and extend our knowledge into solving equations with unknowns on both sides, negatives and fractions!
Ready, set, Maths!
This week we are finishing off unit 2 and starting unit 3! They do fit very well together though. We'll finish our solving equations by tackling some really tricky ones with fractions in. Make sure your method is following the steps I've suggested and that you are keeping the focus on inverse operations.
Unit 3 is on inequalities. In the second lesson this week we'll look at what inequalities are, why we may use them, and learn how to represent them.
Hi Year 9! Last week we looked at what inequalities were and how to represent them. This week we'll put that together with the solving equations skills from unit 2 and solve inequalities and represent their solutions.
Ready? Lets go!
Hi Year 9, I'm so excited to start unit 4 with you. Angles is one of my favourite topics and I'm sure you'll love it too. We'll start off with an angle fact recap - see what you can remember from previous years - and then we'll look at interior angles in polygons.
Here are some worksheets for you to print before the session.

Welcome back after half term. Lest keep going with our angles module. We looked at how we find an interior angle before half term, but now it's time to solve for exterior angles and combine our angle skills to problem solve.
Okay year 9, something very different for you now! You'll need your protractor and compass for this module and get ready to use up lots of paper whilst you practice scale drawing and constructions.
This week will be a lovely brain break after all the algebra and number we've been working on. Enjoy!
Okay! Time to add to our constructions knowledge from last week and work on constructing triangles. We'll also start looking at loci and will use some of our construction knowledge to solve loci problems.
Don't forget to keep asking questions in the community and sharing your plenary tasks!
It's going to be a mix of topics this week. We'll finish off our problem solving with loci and have a recap on percentages. Let me know how you find the recap lesson and I can add in some more examples for you if needed.
Lets go for it!
I can't believe we've almost finished a full term! Lets get our teeth properly into unit 6. This week we'll look at how we can perform increases and decreases as well as find the percentage change.
Enjoy!
Last two lessons of unit 6 here. We'll look at finding the original amount when we have a percentage of a number and how to calculate simple interest on an account.
Last two lessons before the holidays! Have an excellent time. Before you clock off lets start the next module - this time we'll be working on probability!
We'll take a look at experimental and theoretical probability in preparation for looking at tree diagrams in January :)
Welcome back everyone! Lets get back into our maths with a gentle topic this week. Get ready to draw some tree diagrams! We'll look at unconditional and conditional probability with combinations of events this week.
Unit 8.2 - https://interwovenmaths.com/Files/_StarWarsPythagoras.pdf
Only do page 1 with the answers on page 2. It relates to the challenge at the end of video 8.2. The rest of the questions are far too hard for Year 9 students.
Unit 8.3 - These are for their additional practice.
Worksheet: https://www.draustinmaths.com/_files/ugd/7ac124_1af2915b116847aaa77357f235503eaf.pdf

Year 9 lets get going on trig! I'm super excited to introduce this topic as it's one of my favourites! We'll introduce the trigonometric functions this week and use them to find missing sides in right angled triangles.
Next week we'll take it one step further and look to find missing angles!
Continuing on with our formulae module, this week we'll look at how we can rearrange different formulae. We'll look at how to rearrange with the four operations, and then add in some difficulty in lesson 2 by looking at powers and roots and exploring how to deal with brackets!
This week we'll build on our previous work on sequences - (if you haven't worked on this topic before you'll need to take a look at finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence).
We'll explore geometric sequences and find the common ratio. Using this we'll find the nth term of a geometric sequence. We'll then start our work on straight line graphs and explore the gradient of a line.
I'm so excited to start our first statistics module of year 9! We'll look at how to represent data using frequency charts and frequency polygons. We'll also use stem and leaf diagrams and interpret and compare data sets displayed in all of these formats.
More data this week! Lets get going on scatter graphs and finding averages from discrete and grouped frequency tables. Enjoy!
We are doing amazingly year 9! Great job keeping up with me! This week we'll be looking at simplifying ratios and sharing quantities in a ratio.
Lets go!
This week we'll be looking at direct and inverse proportion and solving both wordy questions and graphical questions involving these concepts.
Only one more week until we break for Easter!
Back to graphs this week for the start of unit 13. We're going to start off with plotting some quadratic graphs and I'll show you how to do this both without a calculator and with a calculator. I suggest you practice both methods to help gain the most understanding.
We'll then look at how we can solve equations using graphs. If you don't usually, I'd recommend you use the print outs for this one as you'll need to draw directly on the graphs I've provided.
This week we'll be looking at solving simultaneous equations by plotting graphs. We'll also draw trickier graphs such as cubic and reciprocal ones!
Do you want to try graph dance? Bonus dance lesson included!
Very cryptic title for this weeks content! We'll be looking at interpreting and plotting graphs to represent real life situations. We'll also start our transformations module and get going with some translations.
As last week, definitely print the sheets for this week! Enjoy!
Two more types of transformations this week for you. We'll look at reflections and also rotations. Again, definitely printout the sheets before starting these lessons, you'll want to write straight on!
Remember to keep sharing your plenary tasks!
Almost there on transformations, it is a monster topic so well done for sticking with me! We are now going to look at combinations of translations, reflections and rotations. Once we're happy with that we'll move onto enlargements.
Ready? Go!
Bit of a mix of topics this week! We'll finish off our work on enlargements by looking at negative enlargements and recap how to describe the full range of enlargements.
We'll then move onto unit 15 and work on speed, distance and time calculations!
Continuing on from speed, distance and time last week we'll be looking at density mass and volume calculations. We'll also look at best buys and use a unitary method to compare prices and quantities of goods.
Last half term of year 9! Well done for sticking with this! I'm super proud of everyones progress and have so enjoyed looking through your plenary tasks.
We're starting off with a bit of a dry topic, but a very important one! Unit conversions! We'll look at metric conversions and then also look at conversions between metric and imperial units. We'll also take a look at map scales and how to use bearings.
Year 9 - we've made it to the last unit! Well done to everyone!
We'll take a look at both congruency and similarity this week with a particular focus on triangles. Enjoy!
Last week of new content everyone! Lets go for it! This week we'll recap some areas and volumes and apply them to finding volumes and surface area of prisms.
