This year marks my tenth year as a teacher of Maths. During that time, I've built up a bank of teaching resources and ideas which I want to share with others. Some can be incorporated into lessons and others act as discussion points.

The majority of posts are focused around Maths, but there are some which look at pedagogy and CPD which can be used in other subjects/settings. Search for lesson resources using the tags at the side. Pedagogy has it's own section.

I'm happy for teachers to use my resources in schools, but if they are used for private tuition then I ask that a small portion be donated.

Which Circle Theorems apply?

As part of my medium term plan for teaching Circle Theorems, I like to have an activity dedicated to identifying which Circle Theorems can be used when presented with a diagram. Strip away all the calculations and reduce cognitive load.

Given that this topic can be quite long, I spiced things up by creating a card game. No calculations - just identifying which Circle Theorems are relevant.


There are 40 cards in total, plus some special cards.

An alternative use of these cards is to create a chain, where adjacent cards both illustrate the same Circle Theorem. Is it possible to use all 40? Do they form a loop?
