Circle Theorems - Complete Lesson 2
A lesson to consolidate and expand upon grade 'B' circle theorems. Extension work into 'A' Grade problems and an exam question as a plenary
Averages and Cumulative Frequency - Complete Unit of Work
A complete unit of work covering averages from a table, estimated average, cumulative frequency and box plos
Straight Line Graphs - Three Lesson Block
A series of notebook files for teaching straight line graphs, with a homework and some starter activities. See me "Alien Zapping" resource for further straight line graph activities
Probability Trees Revision
A revision PowerPoint designed for KS4 students. The starter concerns the product rule which is now included in the 9-1 scheme. The lesson progresses through basic completion of trees to wordy "without replacement" style questions. A simple plenary to draw out a misconception and to reinforce multiplication of independent events.
Codebreaker Activity - Factors, Multiples, Squares, Primes
An exercise designed to recap or revise all areas of number work that involves HCF, LCM, Powers, Roots etc suitable for GCSE or KS3 students. I use this as an end of unit assessment and either make A3 sheets to share or individually as a homework. The answers will spell a question that then needs to be answered and can be modelled at the end of the lesson as a plenary. A simple extension task is to ask students to test each other and make their own codes - I have also set this for homework in the past.
Factors, Multiples, Primes into Venn Diagrams
A lesson to remind students how to classify types of number ideal for Ks3 or Ks4 Foundation GCSE.
See my Free "Bingo" resource for an ideal starter or plenary depending on the group.
The worksheets allows students to do a bit of fun shading, and likewise also introduces Venn Diagrams which have been added into the GCSE curriculum.
Codebreaker - Algebraic Substitution
Suitable for a lesson activity or homework for a Foundation GCSE or KS3 teaching group. Students find the values, convert to letters and an easy progress check can be made by asking the students what it spells!
Finding the nth term
A simple sheet to enable practice on finding the nth term of a linear sequence, the 10th, 50th and hundredth terms. Ideal for supporting GCSe foundation or as a revision homework for higher ability groups
Solving Quadratics By Factorising
A straightforward lesson on this essential skill with a differentiated worksheet, with a few non-monic equations, and some equations that need to be rearranged into the correct form first.
Area and Volume of Similar Shapes
A complete lesson worksheet and starter activity for students to discover the link between length scale factor and the area/volume of similar shapes and/or solids. Could be split into Area for one lesson and then volume for the second.
Generating Quadratic Sequences - Investigation
A lesson to introduce Quadratic sequences as part of the new 9-1 GCSE Content. I approach this topic by getting the students to generate n squared, 2n squared etc and find the second level difference for themselves rather than demonstrating this from the outset.
Pythagoras Investigation
An investigative lesson where students can "discover" Pythagoras' theorem. Note - you will need to give each group of students a large number of accurately cut squares eg 6 x 6, 9 x 9 which I have not supplied. With prompting students should be able to establish and generalise not only that when the three squares form a right angled triangle, then when they dont form a right angle what this means with regards to the opposite angle!
Direct Proportion
A complete lesson on direct proportion including a starter and some GCSE style questions.
Collecting Like Terms - Differentiated Lesson
A fully differentiated lesson on powerpoint and Word with notes to teach this topic from the ground up.
Fun element of aligning algebra to the McDonald’s drive through and why we make terms simpler.
Suitable for Year 6 upto GCSE foundation. With a misconception busting plenary.
Product of Three Binomials - New GCSE
A Note book file and starter to introduce students to this new skill which is part of the new Spec GCSE
BIDMAS / Order of Operations
Differentiated lesson to establish the correct order of operations. Students can usually start anywhere on the first three columns, then brackets will need some explaining! Plenary of target number gives students the ability to be as easy or as complicated as they can with the "Target Number" sum to demonstrate learning
Algebraic Expressions and Equations - Team Activity
An activity designed for students working in teams. Initial starter on Whiteboard, then students must enter the correct codes into the excel spreadsheet (correct answers turn cells green) in order to be the best performing team. I only let the students input their answers into the spreadsheet three times during the lesson and only make one correction.
Bundle
GCSE / KS3 - Big Value Algebra Bundle - Save 40%
All of my Algebra resources from simple expressions, equations and including ore complex formulae, all in one bundle so you can make a saving of over 25%!
Enjoy.
Evaluating Zero and Negative Powers
A clear and straightforward Notebook file to explain what these indices represent. Can be used in conjunction with GCSE textbook or suitable worksheet although there are plenty of examples on screen
Currency Exchange GCSE Questions Revision
A lesson focussed on answering these common questions, with some reverse rate questions thrown in to keep things interesting!
