This is the 8th lesson in the AS course devised by myself. The lesson powerpoint will show students how to factorise and solve quadratic equations; a staple of the course and a vital skill that must be mastered. The powerpoint also includes a lesson starter and plenary to complete your lesson. The fully differentiated resource that accompanies the lesson will allow them to practise this new skill. The powerpoint includes a starter and plenary and the resource is directed differentiated. Resources can be printed so that students can have their own files of notes and examples. This lesson can also be used with high ability KS4 students in their revision.

This is the 11th lesson in the AS course devised by myself. The lesson powerpoint will show students how to write a quadratic expression in the completed square form, although this terminology will not be used as it is not used in examinations. Students will apply this knowledge in the next lesson. A 5 minute starter on recent material students should know is included and there is a generic plenary on the last slide. The resource that accompanies the lesson will allow students to practise the lesson's objective, with the questions matching those explained by you in your exposition. There are 3 levels of differentiation on the resource and this will help your planning of directed differentiation. Resources can be printed so that students can have their own files of notes and examples. This can also be used with KS4 students.

This is the 12th lesson in the AS course devised by myself. The lesson powerpoint will show students how to apply the knowledge of the last lesson and use completed square quadratic functions to find maximum and minumum values. A 5 minute starter on recent material students should know is included and there is a generic plenary on the last slide. The resource that accompanies the lesson will allow students to practise the lesson's objective, with the questions matching those explained by you in your exposition. There are 3 levels of differentiation on the resource and this will help your planning of directed differentiation. Resources can be printed so that students can have their own files of notes and examples. This can also be used with KS4.

An entire lesson taking students through powers of numbers and letters and the simple application of the three main power laws with positive integral powers. The starter is a 10 question true or false activity to warm students up with basic facts that they should know. The powerpoint talks students through the concept of a power of a number and then of a variable. There is a justificiation of the addition law of powers and then there is use of the division law and the power of a power. The resource that accomanies the lesson is differentiated from 1 to 3 stars and can be written on by your students. There are notes at the top of each page so that students can review what they have learned. Stuck in the students' books this becomes a learning tool.

This entire lesson will talk through the algorithm of division. Typically a cubic is divided by a linear term. The powerpoint (which contains a starter) will show how each term is generated and its place in the division process. Students will also see how the answer (quotient and remainder) fit together and can be used to check. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated

This complete lesson will guide your students through the often perceived difficulty of using the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx +c to deduce the gradient and the intercept. There is no plotting of the lines but more an algebraic manipulation. The lesson incorporates when lines can be parallel and perpendicular and students are encouraged to think about setting one variable to zero to find where the line crosses the other axis. The resource that accompanies the lesson is fully differentiated. This lesson can be used for gifted KS3 or 4 students

Two lessons which slowly take students through the basics of curve sketching. The powerpoints show students how to get a hold of the shape of each curve (quadratic, cubic, quartic, reciprocal), the role the sign of the dominant terms plays and the effect of repeated roots (tangency). The powerpoints contain a starter of basic material in the A level course so far and the worksheets are fully differentiated. One of these can easily be used with KS4, the other should only be used for high achievers

A complete series of lessons which deal with calculating the probabilities of events modelled under the normal distribution. This includes reverse probabilities and finding the parameters when given information about area. Full demonstrations on powerpoint and fully differentiated resources for students to complete, along with solutions
