Deal or No Dealgebra

Deal or No Dealgebra

(0)
Quiz, loosely based on Deal or No Deal. #1 has brackets but easier numbers; #2 has (simple) algebraic fractions; #3 negative and decimal answers. The player has an amount of money. The boxes contain algebraic expressions that say what that box is worth. So, if the player has £100, 2x+50 gives a box value of £250. It could equally be played as a quiz between two teams or individual players trying to get the highest value box. Original idea inspired by CrazyTalk clips on YouTube linked by Keith Ennis.

Add/subtract mixed with multiply/divide, seeking to clarify which signs you need to look at when deciding how to use signs in the answer. Straight-forward worksheet (2 copies per sheet - chop in half!). (12/7/16) Answers uploaded
Place value - use scales to find intermediate decimal values

Place value - use scales to find intermediate decimal values

(0)
20 quick questions. Use scale on left to get middle value (eg. between 5 and 6) or to establish the increments on the scale. 2nd question, fill in two more values on scale on right based on that answer. Repeat x 10. (Most increments are 10, but some are just five 'per unit'. One, two and 3 decimal places.)
Divide by a simple decimal

Divide by a simple decimal

(1)
A presentation showing how to divide by (say) 0.2 or 0.5. Introduces idea at the end of rewriting the sum by increasing both dividend and divisor by power of ten. Supporting file has decimal number lines (0-5, 3 different sets of scale markings) for printing on A3 for students to use - you may want to cut up and laminate. [15/7/15 improved from user feedback]

Angles and geometric reasons - intro

(0)
Fill-in worksheet introducing correct way to name angles/lines and identifying alternate/corresponding angles. Goes on to get students to identify and then write correct geometric reasons. Answer sheet to match (although student sheet slightly reconfigured since to give correct names for angles). Meant as a reasonably easy introductory resource once key ideas have been explained from the board. Hopefully accessible to my Y7s (Yup!) Second worksheet (with answers) emphasises reasons for each angle

Factorising, functions and graphs

Factorising, functions and graphs

(0)
This links factorisation of linear expressions (where the term in the bracket is in the form y=m(x + c/m)) to the intercept with the x-axis. It lays the foundation for the same concept when factorising quadratics. It could be developed by examining y = c - mx or y=m(ax + c/m).
