This is more of an idea rather than a teaching resource, it certainly has saved me loads of time when planning as well as those vital seconds at the start of a lesson when trying to find which flipchart I intend to use . Again it’s not maths specific and hopefully it will help someone so please share. I never really took to teacher’s planners as they seemed too generic and not really what I wanted. Teaching maths means you see each class three or four times a week so I wanted to plan for the week but keeping the lessons for each class together. So I found myself making my own sheets and printing them out each week. When I saw a colleague using hyperlinks I knew I could just add them to the worksheets I had been using and save myself loads of time. This only really works if you have everything on a single USB stick so that the links you set up on a weekend will work when you get into school.
1. Create an excel file formatted for your timetable. Save one sheet as a Pro forma and then copy this each week allowing you to easily track lessons covered.
2. If you have a Scheme of Work broken down by lesson then you can put hyperlinks to flipcharts on there
3. Insert hyperlinks against each lesson, when clicked the correct flipchart will open immediately – no searching.
4. For any additional information use the comments.
I have attached a zip file with a file structure I use for sorting files, a medium term plan for GCSE and a timetable spreadsheet .

Just in case my instructions weren't clear I also had a play with videos, enjoy.
