GCSE Maths Gradient Presentation

This GCSE Maths Gradient Presentation is a full lesson resource that introduces gradient through clear visuals, worked examples and step by step explanations.

It supports learners in understanding steepness, calculating gradient from two points and interpreting gradients in real contexts such as distance–time graphs.

The resource begins with an engaging investigation using A series paper to explore aspect ratios and ratio reasoning. This leads into warm up activities linking steepness to gradient before introducing the formal definition of gradient as change in y over change in x. Students then practise calculating gradients through structured examples, guided practice and problem solving tasks. Later slides revisit key angle facts, helping learners strengthen core geometry knowledge.

This presentation works well for Foundation GCSE Maths classes and resit groups who need support developing confidence and accuracy with gradient. It is ideal for whole class teaching, modelling or revision sessions. Teachers will find the structure easy to follow, with opportunities for questioning, discussion and reflection.
