iGCSE 9-1 Edexcel, maths revision checklist

(19)
Based on the CGP new revision guide by CGP for the edexcel iGCSE. I have catergorised the topics for higher and foundation into a checklist. Grades are according to CGP revision guide. Any feedback welcome.
Parallel Lines Investigation
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Parallel Lines Investigation

(2)
This uses Geogebra to investigate the rules of parallel lines. The geogebra file has been set up to allow learners to simply check the angles on and off to answer the questions and does not require any technical knowledge. I have included the worksheet that I use as well as a download of the geogebra file and the work sheet has the link to the online geogebra file as well. http://bit.ly/GeoParallel If you prefer an interactive version that allows learners to submit their answers you can use this web page. http://bit.ly/Geogebra_ParallelLines
Introduction to Pythagoras
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Introduction to Pythagoras

(3)
Starts by using an video clip to demonstrate the process of the area of the two smaller squares being equal to the larger two squares. Then uses cloze procedure to quickly give the formal definition. Teaches the process using square add square root for hypotenuse. Some of the questions where orginally taken from https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-introducing-pythagoras-theorem-lesson-6208261 but have been significantly reworked. On this page however there is also an excellent group work activity that could be used with the lesson.

Mr_FantMr_Fant

Revision Powerpoint 3 10QQ

(1)
The 10 Quick Questions power points all follow the same structure. Bell Task, 10QQ with a variety of times depending upon the question. All answers are animated at the end and then the powerpoint can be navigate to provide extra support to questions that form a difficulty. Hope this proves useful.
Interior and Exterior Angles Assesment/Dirt activity
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Interior and Exterior Angles Assesment/Dirt activity

(1)
This is a low stakes assesment with corresponding dirt activities. I have tended to print these onto coloured paper so that they are clear in learners books. You give the sprint assesment sheet to the class. Collect this in, mark this sheet and code the w3 and ebi according to the feedback powerpoint. Highlight which area they need to work on, print feedback sheets, give them their sprint assesment and feedback sheet back. They copy in their feedback from the powerpoint. They complete their feedforward task, using the worked example to try and improve. I have included full answers on the Marking sheet for all activites as well as all the precompleted codes. If you want more precise feedback simply add it as another bullet point on the feedback pages.
Sample Space Diagrams.
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Sample Space Diagrams.

(1)
A homework or worksheet sheet on sample space diagrams. Addition only but exploring the link between sample space with some thinking questions and forming a hypothesis to the sum of opposite sides on a dice. I have also included a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has editable elements givings sides to create sample space diagrams for addition and multiplication for sides up to 20. It will also output the probability for chosen amounts. Another tab shows the distribution graphically. This could be sent to the learners for them to explore in a lesson or used to support the homework/worksheet.
Algebraic Expressions - Basic
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Algebraic Expressions - Basic

(1)
This 10QQ is ideal as a recap or a check of prior learning. Includes a bell task with animated answers to help settle learners into the lesson first. The questions are all on timers. Follows the same format as my revision 10QQ Includes basic simplifying a collection of letters through to collecting like terms with square numbers. At the end there are examples and questions of each type which can be used as a review.
Differentiated Perimeter Of Semi Circles
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Differentiated Perimeter Of Semi Circles

(1)
This (updated) lesson is based around finding the perimeter of a semi circle. Only covers semi circles. Starter assumes both area and circumference of circles as well as parts of a circle. ( Definitions taken from NCETM glossary) It has been updated to include example problem pairs. A differentiated task by gradually reducing scaffolded support. Extension sees if learners can apply to a quadrant and three quarters of a circle. Ends with a Same Structure different depth set of questions.
Algebraic Expressions 2nd 10QQ - Difficult
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Algebraic Expressions 2nd 10QQ - Difficult

(1)
This is the second 10QQ in the Expressions series. It is ideal as a recap/consolidation or a check of prior learning. Includes a bell task with animated answers to help settle learners into the lesson first. The questions are all on timers. Follows the same format as my revision 10QQ Questions focus around learners use of multiplying expressions as well as collecting to cubes and then addition involving unknowns with powers.
Ten Quick Questions - Revision Powerpoint
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Ten Quick Questions - Revision Powerpoint

(3)
Could be useful as a starter, a refresh or a recap on a variety of topics. It includes a Bell task as a settling activity and then onto 10QQ. After the review there are recap slides on each question if needed via hyperlink buttons. This revision powerpoint includes: Algebra: Solving equations, one and two step. Simplifying Expressions. Expanding Brackets. SSM: Angles on straight lines and in a triangle. Coordinates. Number: Rounding.
Area of Circles
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Area of Circles

(1)
This uses interleaved worked examples, so learners can switch between spotting areas in a worked example and attempting the questions solely on their own. Starter Assumes that learners have already completed work on circumference of a circle.

Cubic and Quadratic Sequence generator. Quadratic solver

(0)
This can be used to generate quadratic and cubic sequences and uses difference table to show the step by step solution. It also has a quadratic solver which will give the nth term of a sequence. On the right hand side there are cells that can be copied and pasted to use the sequence.

Arithmetic Practise, Addition and Subtraction.

(0)
This spreadsheet has been designed to give quick arithmetic practise. If you scroll to the top of the page you can easily adjust the levels of difficulty to include how many digits you would like in each question as well as how many decimal places. The decimal places can be given as a range to increase the variety given. Double clicking a cell changes the background colour to red, revealing the answers if you click on the answer boxes. If you click reset, this will reset all questions and revert the colour scheme to default. Macros must be enabled to work.

Form Report Generator
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Form Report Generator

(0)
I have created a form report generator. The spreadsheet has the ability to input a learners name, attendance data and then various comments. Some comments have access to a comment back or can be manually entered. Others for example attendance are generated automatically. You can also personalise it to your school and year group by entering this data on the Form Info page. I use this in conjunction with a questionnaire that the learners fill it and it dramatically decreases the time taken to do reports. There are quite a lot of protections on the spreadsheet file. In order to paste your comments out then you need to go to the Report output page, then copy and paste out.
