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.

Direct Proportion

(1)
This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which a direct proportion question could be worded. Then through a series of worked examples, students learn how to answer questions involving direct proportion. The lesson contains a worksheet and answers which can be completed in class or set as a piece of homework.
Calculating the mean

Calculating the mean

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean. I use this lesson with students who have probably met the topic before but require a revisit to the topic. I usually use this lesson before I introduce student to the "fx" column and therefore questions involving the frequency table.
Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

(0)
Here are two powerpoint lessons which give information and properties to all the types of triangles and quadrilaterals which younger students need to know about. The first lesson looks at equilateral, isosceles, right angled and scalene triangles and lists other properties such lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. The second lesson then looks at the quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, the parallelogram, trapezium and kite. This is concluded with a worksheet and answers. The recent edit now includes examples where students must plot coordinates and then name the polygon drawn.
Surface Area
sjcoopersjcooper

Surface Area

(0)
This lesson looks at finding the surface area of shapes such as cuboids, square based pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres. The lesson also shows a proof for the surface area formula of a cone. However for this students to understand this proof it is essential that they have already met arc length and area of a sector. The lesson contains a number of worked examples.
Standard Form with the Calculator
sjcoopersjcooper

Standard Form with the Calculator

(0)
Introduces students to the designated button on the calculator for Standard form questions. After a series of examples there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

(1)
This lesson is used to develop an understanding of the transformations of graphs when given in the format y = f(x). This lesson concentrates on the stretches of curves including reflections. Initially the examples are to develop their understanding. Whereas the further examples are for students to follow the rules developed. The lesson ends with a slide which can be printed for students to attempt on their own.
Complex Numbers

Complex Numbers

4 Resources
A group of lessons which cover the contents required to cover complex numbers for most A level courses.
Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.
sjcoopersjcooper

Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.

(1)
This lesson is taught once students have a firm understanding of solving simultaneous equations through elimination. Through worked examples students learn how to solve simultaneous equations by the substitution method. Further examples demonstrate its use when looking at points of intersection with a curve and a line. The lesson is completed with a worksheet which can be answered in class or as a piece of homework. (Answers are included)
The indefinite integral
sjcoopersjcooper

The indefinite integral

(0)
This lesson follows the lessons taught on differentiation. The opening slide introduces integration as the reverse of differentiation. Then through a variety of examples students get used to integration.
Trigonometry: Double angle formulae
sjcoopersjcooper

Trigonometry: Double angle formulae

(0)
Having taught the Compound Angles the next lesson is this lesson which looks at the double angle formulae and examples of situations where the knowledge is required.
Introduction to Distance, Speed, Time
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Distance, Speed, Time

(0)
This lesson is aimed at introducing students to the three formula involving Distance, Speed and Time. There are plenty of worked examples and a worksheet to accompany the lesson.
Introduction to plotting coordinates
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to plotting coordinates

(0)
This bundle consists of two lessons and two worksheets which introduce students to plotting coordinates. The first lesson looks at plotting coordinates in the positive quadrant only. The second lesson then looks at plotting coordinates involving negative quantities.
Solving Inequalities
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Inequalities

(0)
Lesson on solving inequalities, including quadratics. Lesson includes a worksheet for students to complete.
Decimal Search
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal Search

(1)

Logarithms & Exponentials
sjcoopersjcooper

Logarithms & Exponentials

4 Resources
These three lessons I usually teach towards the end of year 12 in preparation for the introduction of natural logs in calculus. The lessons introduce students to Logs, the laws of logs. The Algebra used in logs and the Natural log and exponential.
Types of roots : The Discriminant
sjcoopersjcooper

Types of roots : The Discriminant

(0)
This lesson looks closer at the value b^2 - 4ac and the types of roots the outcome would suggest. The lesson then looks at more algebraic problems.
