Right Angled Trigonometry

(1)
Following on from the lessons which introduce trigonometry to students. These two lessons consist of worked examples using the three trig ratios developed in either year 9 or 8. The introduction lessons are in my shop. I have used this lesson with year 10, having already introduced trigonometry to these students in year 9.

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.

This PowerPoint lesson looks at equivalent fractions through worked examples of areas shaded. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet for pupils to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision

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.
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.
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.
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 Maths : Area & Volume Ratio

(1)
This powerpoint presentation introduces students to the understanding of area ratio and volume ratio when considering similar shapes. Through a series of worked examples students become more confident with answering such questions. The lesson concludes with a worksheet which can be answered in class or given as a homework.

This bundle is all the lessons I use for introducing circle theorems to a class. I have included the proofs of circle theorems which I tend to use with the higher groups only.
Angles in a polygon
sjcoopersjcooper

Angles in a polygon

(1)
This is a lesson which demonstrates to students the sum of the angles in a variety of polygons through the knowledge of the angles in a triangle. The lesson then looks at a method of finding the interior and exterior angles of regular polygons. This resource also contains a worksheet for either classwork or homework (answers to follow!)
Paper 3 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher

Paper 3 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at calculator for foundation and higher. This completes at three paper assessment. 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
sjcoopersjcooper

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!
Revision lessons 2

Revision lessons 2

(1)
Here are a three revision lessons I have used for my foundation students. The lessons consist of Area and Circumference of a circle. Solving Equations : letters on one side & letters on both sides. Probability of a single event. Dividing into a given ratio. This is easily 4 hours of work. I have used this with year 11 students revising topics in one hour blocks.
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.
