Starter sheet to be done to introduce questionnaires topic. Students should try to answer the questionnaire honestly, then discuss why each question is not a good one for statistical purposes.
Excel spreadsheet for students to complete. There is plenty here to take a full lesson. Students need to extend the linear sequences, spot the term to term rule, find the nth term rule and use it to find terms in the sequence. This includes some exploration of Fibonacci numbers and triangular numbers.
Excel spreadsheet for students to complete, where they investigate triangular numbers. This includes extending the sequence manually, and then exploring the structure to find an expression for the nth term. This is self-marking, and by the end, students should be able to generalise how to find any triangular number.
A full sixth form assembly on young driver safety, including evidence, research, linked videos, case studies and anecdotes. There is a full script written in the notes to accompany the slides. There is plenty of material here for a full assembly for years 12 /13, covering the risks for young drivers and how they can mitigate them. This is the number one cause of deaths for young people globally.
This quiz in the style of TV’s House Of Games is a great end of term activity for a class of students to play in pairs. First to buzz (hand up) gets a point for each question. These are all new questions, with 203 slides which play on maths vocabulary and definitions.
Rounds include Answer Smash, Rhyme Time, Z to A, Games House of, Picture This, and many more.
This is suitable for GCSE and beyond, my A level students loved it too. It was rated by my students as the best end of term activity they have ever done!! This should fill at least an hour’s lesson, and I get asked to do it again every year.
An assembly on Protected Characteristics and the Equality Act 2010, most suitable to older students/6th form. This covers the nine protected characteristics, direct and indirect discrimination, and positive discrimination and positive action.
The design of these slides is stripped back so you can adapt it for your school.
These 106 quiz questions cover the whole Edexcel Year 12 Mechanics course for the current specification launched in 2017. Students can print them out and use them as pre-made revision cards for the course. Teachers can use these as a lesson activity where students can self-quiz, work with their peers, and categorise cards by their priorities for revision. Students can also test themselves by writing their responses on the back of the cards, and checking against the answer sheets.
These 152 quiz questions cover the whole Edexcel Year 12 Statistics course for the current specification launched in 2017. Students can print them out and use them as pre-made revision cards for the course. Teachers can use these as a lesson activity where students can self-quiz, work with their peers, and categorise cards by their priorities for revision. Students can also test themselves by writing their responses on the back of the cards, and checking against the answer sheets.
These 258 quiz questions and responses cover the whole Edexcel Year 12 Statistics and Mechanics course for the current specification (2017 onwards).
How to use them
Print out the cards and use them for self-quizzing, checking answers as you go.
Alternatively, a peer can test you on the required responses.
To aid recall, sort the cards into categories, based on how much revision you need to do on each topic.
The mode and range seem simple, but this worksheet shows how they can be asked for in different ways, and it can appear complicated when the data is presented in different forms.
A complete model question on finding a missing side of a triangle using the sine rule. Students need to cut out the cards and arrange the steps in order.
Tarsia activity: students need to match up the simple vector formulae and properties for FP3. Includes cross product, dot product, area of a triangle and a paralellogram, volume of a paralellepiped, and definition of the triple scalar product. Part 2 with perpendicular distances to follow.
This is just a simple little resource. Pupils need to complete the circle theorem using the precise vocabulary and draw the diagram to match. They can then use these as revision cards.
Very straightforward activity creating simple sequences from simple nth term rules and plotting the inputs and outputs on a graph. Pupils could create their own function machines as extension, and see if the result is what they expect.
This activity is about drawing, interpreting and correctly labelling simple histograms. Here, the class widths are all the same so we are not focussing on area, but on what the data tells us, and that we have lost some detail by grouping it.
This is not a worksheet but a teacher instruction sheet. This activity is a simple starting point for a rich task which allows pupils to practise multiplying algebraic terms. They are then encouraged to make links between the terms and the products they are getting, and create further examples for themselves to test their conjectures
