Probability Tree revision lesson

(1)
This revision is pitched mainly at foundation students, however it is also ideal for higher level students. Through worked examples the students revise the fact of multiplying "branches" together in order to obtain an outcome for two event. Further examples look at when there are more than two possible outcomes which would imply we add the solutions together. Nicely broken up for a student who is probably struggling with the grade 5 work. There are also several questions for the students to attempt in-between the examples. Answers are provided.

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

(1)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

Area of a circle

(5)
This worksheet can be used by students who have just been taught how to find the area of a circle. I have a PowerPoint which I use over two lessons which firstly encourages them to find the formula for the area of a circle. Then collectively we write down a better formula with some verbal history thrown in, before attempting some examples at the board. This PowerPoint is available to purchase. On completing the PowerPoint students can then demonstrate their new skills with this worksheet. The answers to this worksheet are included with the PowerPoint.

The CAST Diagram
sjcoopersjcooper

The CAST Diagram

(0)
I use this PowerPoint over two lessons. The first lesson introduces students to the CAST diagram. There is an assumption that students are already aware of the three trig curves. A series of examples follow where students find the exact value for the sin, cos or tan of certain angles. The second lesson looks at the definition of a negative angle. The lessons complete with examples of how the CAST diagram can be used to solve simple trig equations for a given range.

Rational and Irrational Numbers
sjcoopersjcooper

Rational and Irrational Numbers

(0)
The power point lesson teaches students the understanding of the works Rational and irrational when it comes to numbers. There is a proof for the square root of 2 being irrational and a number of examples where recurring decimals are expressed as fractions (hence showing that they are rational numbers). I always teach this lesson before introducing the simplifying of surds.
Best Buys Revision

Best Buys Revision

(2)
With my year 11 foundation group struggling with recent Best Buy questions I put these two slides together for further practice. I worked through the first example and then they attempted the following questions before we checked answers together. It is only a short piece but follows the same pattern as most of my other revision lessons. However the other revision lessons tend to last the length of a lesson.
