Combining transformations

(6)
Worksheet on some simple combined transformations. Final task requires the student to describe the combined transformations as a single transformation. Designed for low ability GCSE group but could make a good introduction for any level.

Plotting linear and quadratic graphs

(3)
Can be used as a starter for AFL. Easily differentiated by doing either the linear or quadratic questions. Could extend the top end by asking about the significance of the intersections between the graphs.

Describing an enlargement

(2)
Lots of examples going up to fractional negative enlargements. Could be extended by asking the students to reverse the image and object.

Angles in polygons

(3)
Basic worksheet for students to think about external angles, internal angles and the sum of the internal angles.
Matching a quadratic equation to its graphQuick View

Matching a quadratic equation to its graph

(1)
Designed to help students visualise why they have solved a quadratic equation. Some can be factorised but mainly solved using the quadratic formula. Student then uses their solutions to find the roots on the graph.

Matching graphs to simple linear equations

(0)
Designed for a foundation group that have been plotting linear graphs and introduced to y=mx+c. This is a starter activity is to try and build fluency with how a graph matches its equation and how some of the options can easily be discarded when thinking about gradients and y intercepts etc.

Simple percentage of an amount

(0)
Heavily scaffolded to try and get students to think about using "building blocks" of simple percentages of an amount to find the actual percentage.

Plotting f(x) funtions and their inverse

(1)
Sheet is designed to get students plotting a function, finding its inverse and then plotting that on the same axis. By adding the y-x line, they should see that it creates a line of reflection. The extension task is working out why the inverse of some functions is the same as the original function (two examples on this worksheet).

Reflection in a given line

(1)
Some simple examples to help students reflect a shape in a given line. More challenging questions on the second sheet.

Area of 2D shapes increasing challenge

(0)
Worksheet designed to be used in a mixed group where students are studying both foundation and higher. Starts with a standard example then builds to include problem solving, Pythagoras, basic trig, forming and solving an equation.
