Used with an able Year 10 group as a way to revise factorising into single brackets. Students are given a partially completed multiplication grid with algebra, and must deduce what expressions go in the remaining boxes. As a starting point, look at the 3rd column: by factorising 6x + 8 and 15x + 20, we deduce that (3x + 4) must go at the top of this column. Solutions are provided.
This resource is for students who are confident with Linear and Quadratic Sequences. It covers:
Finding the nth term of a linear sequence
Finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence
Generating sequences
Verifying whether a given number is in the sequence
Finding missing terms in linear sequences
Full answers are provided.
This worksheet (with 15 questions) guides students through the process of finding the equation of a tangent to a circle. I used this with a class of grade 5/6 Higher students, who I thought would probably struggle with the topic without any support.
I’ve tried to make the worksheet gradually harder as students work their way through the questions - e.g. the y-intercept is mostly an integer, except for the final few questions.
