Gradient of a line and y intercept

(1)
This lesson is used in lower school to introduce students to the gradient of a straight line by calculation. The lesson then looks at the general equation of the line. Acknowledging that m stands for the gradient and c the y intercept. There is a worksheet attached to this lesson which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.

Types of Solids

(1)
There are approximately four lessons of work here which include the knowledge of Prisms, Pyramids and Spheres. I tend to get the students to copy the examples into their books. Then when they start the worksheet they have something to look back at for guidance.
GCSE Algebra: Drawing straight line graph revision

GCSE Algebra: Drawing straight line graph revision

(1)
This Revision lesson reminds students how we draw graph from an equation in the form y=mx+c. Firstly the member of staff goes through two worked examples before the students tackle one or two on their own before checking the solution at the board. The examples then get more complicated. This revision lesson is aimed at Foundation students.

Paper 2 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at calculator for foundation and higher. These papers can not be obtained by students on the internet. Hence are ideal for end of term (or year) assessments. Solutions are included.

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

(1)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

Constructions: Bisecting lines and Angles & constructing Angles

(1)
These two lessons teach students how to 1. Bisect a line 2. Bisect an Angle 3. Drop a perpendicular to a line 4. construct a 60 degree angle 5. construct a 90 degree angle 6. construct the 30 and 45 degree angle 7. construct 75 and 120 degree angles. The lessons also include worksheets for the students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
Revision starters for GCSE topics.

Revision starters for GCSE topics.

(1)
Here I have created a group of starter questions for my foundation students to tackle at the beginning of the lesson. This powerpoint includes questions on fractions into decimals sequences the nth term solving simple equations dividing into a given ratio simplifying expressions factorising multiplying decimals
GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision

(1)
This revision powerpoint looks at worked examples for the topics of Completing the square and solving quadratics inequalities. The second revision lesson looks at iterative formulae and quadratic sequences. The idea is that the member of staff works through 2 or 3 examples before the student attempts one question at a time. The review of the question then reinforces the students understanding of the topics.
Properties of a velocity time graph revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Properties of a velocity time graph revision

(1)
This revision lesson looks at revising with students the understanding that area under a curve represents distance travelled and the gradient of a tangent represents acceleration when looking at a velocity time graph. The revision lessons is a mixture of worked examples and questions for the students to attempt before reviewing at the board.
Probability Tree revision lesson
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree revision lesson

(1)
This revision is pitched mainly at foundation students, however it is also ideal for higher level students. Through worked examples the students revise the fact of multiplying "branches" together in order to obtain an outcome for two event. Further examples look at when there are more than two possible outcomes which would imply we add the solutions together. Nicely broken up for a student who is probably struggling with the grade 5 work. There are also several questions for the students to attempt in-between the examples. Answers are provided.
Perpendicular Lines
sjcoopersjcooper

Perpendicular Lines

(1)
This lesson is used to introduce students to perpendicular lines. Finding the gradient of a perpendicular line and the equation of such lines. The lesson is followed with a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.

GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions

(1)
Each revision lessons last approximately an hour each with my classes. I work through the worked examples before students then attempt the set questions. We then discuss the answers and correct any mistakes made. The revision lessons in this collection are Transformations: Describing transformations that have been done. Fractions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & division of..
Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how we can convert decimals into either fractions or percentages. Fractions into decimals or percentages and percentages into decimals or fractions. These revision lessons work with the teacher going through a couple of examples, which I get the students to copy down into their books, so that they have something to refer back to later. Then the students answer a number of questions to ensure they understand the work. The I move to the next slide and do much the same. I find that this has really helped with the low ability students moving their learning form short term to long term.
Frequency Polygon & Cumulative Frequency Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Frequency Polygon & Cumulative Frequency Revision

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how to draw both Frequency polygons and cumulative frequency curves. This is done through both worked examples and a few for them to have a go at before checking answers at the board. The lesson also reminds students how the median and Interquartile range are found from the cumulative frequency curve.
