There is at least a weeks material for GCSE lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an overview of the concepts involved. So, far instance, much greater depth would be required for averages. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use.
If you think this is good, think about purchasing the PowerPoint. It allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal.
A spreadsheet that makes clear the links between graphs of quadratic functions and intercepts, turning points and symmetry. It is completely editable.
It works best with a=1 since the aspect of completing the square and bracket factoring need a more sophisticated approach (version 2?).
It includes a blank template for students to complete. Let me know in a review if you have any further suggestions for improvement.
‘Forming and solving equations’ questions for maths lessons.
Includes questions on angles, perimeter, area and a mixture of other topics.
