The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

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.
Properties of a velocity time graph revision

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.

GCSE revision lessons 2

14 Resources
This bundle continues with the revision lessons for year 11 students at Higher and/or foundation level. This initial bundle contains roughly 14 hours of revision lessons on Standard Form Percentages of a quantity Properties of a velocity time graph (area under a graph & gradient of a tangent to the curve) Factorising and removing brackets for up to three brackets. Pie charts & Scatter diagrams Inverse & direct proportion Circle problems Simultaneous equations Dividing into a ratio and others...
Factorising & Removal of brackets Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Factorising & Removal of brackets Revision

(0)
This powerpoint can be used over two or three lessons as revision for removal of one bracket, two brackets and three brackets. Also it can be used to revise factorising through the use of one bracket, two brackets. Each section consists of two or three worked examples followed by several questions for the students to answer. I get the students to copy down the worked examples as we work through them and then they are left to attempt the given questions before we run through the solutions at the board. All answers are given.
GCSE Algebra: Drawing straight line graph revision
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Drawing Quadratic Curves Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Drawing Quadratic Curves Revision

(0)
This PowerPoint is a revision lesson were students revise the ability to work out y coordinates for a given quadratic curve and then draw the curve. The lesson is structured so that they follow two examples at the board before attempting the next two by themselves, before looking at a couple of more complicated questions. Then once again having a go at a couple. The revision lesson (as with most of my revision lessons) are designed to last at least one hour in length. I tend to get the students to copy the examples in their book.

This series of over 20 tests (and answers) helps students retain the ability to answer questions on a range of topics. The topics consist of Dividing into a given ratio nth term of a linear sequence Converting decimals into fractions Fractions (add, multiply and divide) Area of triangles, rectangles and circles Converting between mm, cm, m and km Collecting like terms. Removing brackets Solving simple equations Multiplying decimals Percentages of a quantity Expressing as a percentage Compound percentages Probability of a single event.

Mathematics Sequences worksheet generator

(0)
This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for either linear sequences or quadratic sequences. The spreadsheet will also provide the answers. Once the sheet is generated print the sheet. The cover the answers and send the font to white (this hides the answers) print this sheet. Repeat for newly generated worksheets. Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.

This lesson was used with a Key stage 3 class. we worked through each example using the calculators this time. Another lesson available in the shop addresses finding the fraction of a quantity without a calculator. The class then complete the worksheet in class or as a piece of homework.

Paper 1 Mathematics papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at non 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 Revision game 3

GCSE Foundation Revision game 3

(0)
GCSE Foundation Run around game 3 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!

Conditional Probability

(2)
This lesson is aimed at the higher level student. It is designed to be taught after the tree diagram lesson. Probably late into year 10 or early year 11. The worked examples demonstrate how the tree diagram can be used to answer some questions, but also demonstrates another quicker method of dealing with repeated events.

This is an assembly that I put together for my form to deliver to their year group in assembly. Each student was given a sentence to deliver and the slides were advanced at the appropriate speed. The picture of William and is family was taken in 1915 prior to him leaving to join the battle. William was killed in action in 1917.

This spreadsheet is set up to produce nine questions for students to answer on a variety of foundation topics. The spreadsheet also generates the answers. To generate a new list simply alter week 1 for week 2 etc and a new sheet is generated. That is the numbers are replaced or a different algebraic expression is generated. The topics on this sheet include: Dividing into a given ratio Multiplying fractions together nth term of a linear sequence collection of like terms solving simple equations decimal conversions metric conversions decimal multiplication
Fractions of a quantity

Fractions of a quantity

(0)
Introduction lessons to fractions of a quantity ideal for Key stage 2 or key stage 3 children. The first lesson looks at one half, one third, etc... of a quantity followed by one or two worksheets if required. The second lesson then looks at slightly more complicated fractions of a quantity. Again with worksheets to accompany the lesson.
