Factorising Non-Monic Quadratics

Factorising Non-Monic Quadratics

(0)
Quadratics of the form ax^2 + bx + c Example problem pair, some questions, some examples where a and c are not prime and then some exam questions. Personally I use the grid method (Check out Jo Morgan’s Compendium of Mathematical Methods!)
Thinkers

Thinkers

(0)
A collection of 7 starters designed for students to think about things not always explicitly taught. ie Is the result 2 or 1/2 Is the trailing 0 needed? Is a 1 needed?
Perimeter

Perimeter

(2)
Everything you need to teach perimeter. Includes algebraic reasoning, drawing a picture with coordinates and the rest. Maybe 3 lessons here.
Solving two step equations

Solving two step equations

(1)
Does as it says on the tin. There’s probably two lessons in here. Includes a worksheet with the same questions as on the PowerPoint. Answers are provided.
The Sine Rule

The Sine Rule

(5)
Two lessons at least here. Simple sine rule questions and more difficult ‘using the sine rule’ as well as the ambiguous case. Includes a worksheet, some whoteboard work, an exam question, some example problem pairs, a section on doing some timed questions.
Pokemon Go lesson

Pokemon Go lesson

(2)
Starter about hatching eggs and a rich task involving student developing a plan to maximise XP and minimise time spent. Made by a colleague who is shy to upload stuff. I understand none of it. Much thanks to him.
Regular Shape?

Regular Shape?

(3)
Students measure sides of shape to determine if it is regular or not. As always, please comment if you found this useful, have an idea on how to improve it, or want something changed.
Drawn Correctly? - Angles in a triangle

Drawn Correctly? - Angles in a triangle

(2)
Students are shown 8 triangles. They have to assess if the traingles shown are mathematically valid. Some of the triangles do not add up to 180 dregrees. Some triangles have clear acute angles lables as obtuse angles. As an extention, some pupils can give written reasons WHY some of the traingles are not correct. NOTE: These are not drawn to scale, and are not to assess students ability to measure angles with a protractor. They are as a test of student's knowledge about the internal angles of a triangle.
Vary and Twist: Dividing in a ratio
richardtockrichardtock

Vary and Twist: Dividing in a ratio

(1)
A worksheet attempting to combine Craig Barton’s ideas on variation theory (only changing one part at a time) and Dani and Hunal’s ideas around making students make choices. I’ve tried to build up to that. Maybe by trying to combine both I miss the point of each. Would love criticisms and thoughts.
GCSE Quadratic Graphs Card Sort Activity
richardtockrichardtock

GCSE Quadratic Graphs Card Sort Activity

(3)
GCSE algebra card sort. Really simple excel card sort. Cut out the tables, the equations and the graphs. Students have to match them together. As always, please comment and rate with suggestions for improvement.
Areas of triangles
richardtockrichardtock

Areas of triangles

(0)
Includes a worksheet that I think is really good (not blowing my own trumpet) and some random whiteboard questions, along with the usual stuff (example problem pair/questions/answers/learning check). Got some variation theory stuff in there, too. You should check out this resource by @edsouthall to use alongside this PowerPoint. It’s really good NOTE : I change my stuff every time I teach. I add new stuff and correct errors. But I don’t always have time to reupload them to TES. The latest version of the PowerPoint can always be found here.
Find the hypotenuse
richardtockrichardtock

Find the hypotenuse

(0)
Simple finding the hypotenuse worksheet, but I’ve made sure the triangles are rotated. There’s a few little tricks (1-3 are the same to emphasise rotation)
Factorising Linear Expressions
richardtockrichardtock

Factorising Linear Expressions

(4)
Loads of stuff here. Example problem pairs, exercises and other stuff. There’s also a ‘vary and twist’ worksheet here. Trying to use variation theory to draw out a bit of understanding. NOTE: My PowerPoints are updates often, but not always reuploaded to TES. The latest version of this PowerPoint can always be found here.
Completing the square

Completing the square

(0)
Worksheet and matching powerpoint covering -x^2 + bx + c in the form (x+a)^2 + b -a x^2 + bx + c in the form a(x+b)^2 + c Finding turning points Solving with completing the square 3 lessons worth of stuff
