Dynamically change the problems in this PowerPoint using the up/down buttons. Click on the +/- symbol to add or subtract the equations and click on the green area to see the equations combine. Reveal the solutions by clicking the covers.
Scroll through the examples and press 'start' to start the event scrolling up and down the probability scale. Invite students to the board to click the screen to stop the even in the correct position. Revel the fraction using the buttons and split the probability scale into fractions using the 'fraction' button to see if the even it accurately placed. Includes student activity worksheet.
An interactive PowerPoint that models how the rate of change changes over time in the context of filling containers with water. Select the container set and fill them up using the control buttons to show their corresponding graphs.
An interactive and dynamic PowerPoint that models how to add and subtract fractions using pictures. Use the 'fraction' buttons to show the visual representation of each fraction and click on each sector to shade it in. Click on 'add/subtract' once to reveal the common denominator shape and again to visually see the fractions adding together.
An interactive PowerPoint that models the three views of a 3D object. Use the navigation buttons to scroll through the examples and use the plan, side and front buttons to show the object rotate into the correct position. Before revealing, invite students to the board and ask them what the views might look like by clicking on the square grid. I have attached some questions also.
An interactive PowerPoint and worksheets that model how to complete/create patterns with rotation symmetry using tracing paper. Using the navigation buttons...1)Select the example, 2)Show the tracing paper, 3)Trace the design, 4)Rotate the tracing paper to find the missing parts of the design.
I've always struggles to show students how subtraction works as a balance as it can't be visulaised, until now!Keep the balance of the scales by adding or subtracting content from both sides. Do this by clicking on the 1's or x's at the top to add on and on each side of the balance to remove them. Pop the balloons by adding weights to both sides (sound effects included!)
Starts by finding LCMs and HCFs by listing and extends to using prime factors and Venn diagrams to calculate LCMs and HCFs. Scroll through the PowerPoint using the navigation buttons. Reveal the covered factor trees by clicking on the covers and click the end branches of each tree to select the prime factors. Once all end (prime) numbers have been found use the show/hide button to reveal the Venn diagram. Click on the prime factors again to place them into the Venn diagram. Click on the LCM or HCF to reveal the answers.
An interactive PowerPoint that uses prime factor trees and Venn diagrams to model how to calculate the LCM and HCF. Uncover the end branches by clicking on the covers, click on the end branches to select the prime factors, show the Venn diagram and click on the selected factors to place them in the Venn diagram.
Scroll through the first few slides to introduce a cuboid (hover over the pictures to reveal the properties and click on the boy pushing over the rectangle to revel transform a rectangle into a cuboid). Break down the layers of the cuboid examples by clicking on the x, y, z buttons to see the layers separate and questions students on the associated multiplications and the commutative properties of multiplication. When the cubes can't be seen, hover over the faces of the cuboid examples to reveal the cubes and click the covers to reveal the answers.
A fully interactive presentation that models how to identify and check for rotation symmetry using tracing paper. Use the navigation buttons to....1)Navigate throught the examples, 2)Select tracing paper 3)Trace 4) Rotate.
Generates a 3D co-ordinate axes by adding an extra dimension onto a 2D gird. Demonstrates how to plot 2 co-ordinates in three dimensions and considers this as the diagonal of a cuboid. Hover the mouse over the pink and orange triangles and press 'play' to see them in two dimensions. Click the covers to reveal the lengths. Extends to generalising the longest diagonal of a cuboid and includes some exam style questions.
An interactive PowerPoint that uses partitioning (as with numerical multiplication) to expand the product of two linear brackets. Also includes some simple factorising where you can drag-and-drop the correct factors (must enable macros). Click on show/hide to reveal the grid, click on the factors in the brackets in input these into the grid and unhide the expansion by clicking on the covers.
A set of interactive examples that model how to create a prime factorisation using factor trees. Click on the number in the tree to shown the next level/branches and click the empty branches to reveal the factors. Once the tree have been fully revealed, click on the end branches to show the prime factorisation.
Initially, click on the lego bricks to break them down into smaller percentage proportions. Once all 6 base blocks are revealed, click on them stack up the required percentage. Scroll through the examples and uncover the base building blocks by cliking on the covers. Once all base builing blocks have been revealed, build the required percentage by clicking on each block to stack them up.
A set of interactive geogebra applets that dynamically links displacement, velocity and acceleration graphs. Show or hide the graphs using the controls or click the trace points button and drag the velocity point to slowly reveal the traced graphs. Make as many new examples as your students need.
You will need geogebra installed on your machine but this is not a necessity as I have also attached the web links to use these applets in your choice of web browser.
I have found this useful for both the new A level and GCSE (1-9 higher) specs.
Two student worksheets also included.
