Comprehensive SATs lesson plans covering key Maths and English topics aligned with AQA and Edexcel specifications, complete with learning objectives, teaching activities, and curated revision resources.

Pupils progress from right-angled SOHCAHTOA through exact values to Sine/Cosine Rules for any triangle. Builds spatial reasoning, exact-value fluency, and multi-step problem-solving for Higher Tier exam questions.

Pupils classify quadratics, master three solving methods (factorising, completing the square, formula), interpret the discriminant graphically, and evaluate which method suits each problem. Builds algebraic fluency and exam technique.

This lesson develops students' ability to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages fluently. Students explore equivalence through visual models and apply their understanding to solve percentage problems in real-world contexts.

Students are introduced to Shakespeare's Macbeth, exploring the opening scenes and key themes of ambition, fate, and the supernatural. They develop confidence with Shakespearean language and analyze character motivation through quotation analysis.

Students learn to identify and analyze poetic techniques such as metaphor, simile, and personification. Through close reading and annotation, they explore how poets use language and structure to create meaning and effect.

This lesson teaches students to identify and use persuasive techniques including rhetorical questions, rule of three, and emotive language. Students structure convincing arguments and deliver persuasive speeches on topics that matter to them

Students develop their descriptive writing skills by exploring sensory language and figurative techniques. Through 'show, don't tell' activities, they learn to create vivid imagery and atmospheric settings that engage readers.

A "What's in the Box?" starter demystifies variables. Pupils progress through 5 levels: one-step equations, two-step equations, pattern sequences, creating puzzles for partners, and a Boss Level escape room where algebra unlocks a combination code.

A "Terrible Baker" disaster starter shows what happens when you don't scale proportionally. Groups then scale recipes through 4 progressive challenges: halving, tripling, non-simple multiples, and reverse proportion ("you have 300g flour — how many can you feed?").

A "Dodgy Data!" starter teaches pupils to spot misleading graphs. Groups then choose a genuine question, collect data via tally charts, create accurate graphs, write 3 conclusions, and deliver a 2-minute "Data Detective Report

A "Would You Rather?" starter explores the relationship between area and perimeter. Pupils design a bedroom to scale, fit furniture within their floor area budget, calculate costs (carpet per m², skirting per metre), and deliver a 30-second estate agent pitch.

A "Price is Wrong!" starter leads into a multi-round shop simulation where pupils rotate as shopkeeper, customer and accountant. Rounds progress from simple change to 10% sale calculations and exact-budget challenges.

Pupils rotate through 5 game stations: Multiplication War (card game), Array City (building with cubes), Times Table Treasure Hunt (QR codes), Beat the Clock (personal bests), and Create-a-Game. Focuses on 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables.

Pupils learn to recognise and write fractions (1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 3/4) through a pizza party simulation. They fold, cut and label paper plates, solve group sharing challenges, and play Fraction Bingo

A research-focused worksheet where pupils reflect on the Stroop task, record findings from their chosen research focus, and complete an exit ticket.

Pupils read Jamie's case study and create a support plan covering school, friends and self-help strategies, plus a myth/fact quiz.

A structured debate prep and reflection sheet where Year 6 pupils build arguments about testing fairness and propose school-level changes.

Pupils identify struggles and suggest adaptations for a scenario card character with dyscalculia, then plan their Maths Buddy poster.

A hands-on KS2 lesson helping Year 4 pupils understand that brains work differently with numbers. Includes a gloves simulation activity and a Maths Kindness Charter.

Students learn to use descriptive and figurative language to create engaging writing, applying structure, sensory detail, and varied sentences, then plan, write, and reflect on a creative piece.
