A lesson on sketching quadratic graphs by finding the roots and turning points. Included are scaffolded worksheets for breaking down the steps (solving the quadratic, completing the square etc.).
This is a collection of starters that I used for my third set Year 10s as a way to retain knowledge and revise foundation tier GCSE topics. There are 107 slides, each with 4-6 questions featuring a mixture of topics and problem solving exam style questions. Students became used to the routine and their confidence noticeably improved over time doing these every lesson.
A complete lesson on factorising quadratics. The starter recaps expanding expressions, before moving on to an explanation of how to factorise quadratics. There is a sequence of questions to be used with mini-whiteboards until students are confident. Included in the powerpoint is a slide with questions that are to be printed and cut out, so students can attempt two questions at a time and check with you in the form of a relay. There are also extension questions and help sheets towards the end of the powerpoint.
This is a collection of starters that I used for my second set Year 11s as a way to retain knowledge and revise higher tier GCSE topics. There are 79 slides, each with 4-6 questions featuring a mixture of topics and problem solving exam style questions. Students became used to the routine and their confidence noticeably improved over time doing these every lesson.
A lesson on finding the area of shaded regions formed from rectangles, circles and shapes based on circles. Includes scaffolded questions that encourage the student to think about what they are trying to find out at each stage and how they are going to get to their answer.
