The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

This lesson shows younger children how to subtract numbers when using the column method. Each example is worked through and students can see clearly each step. There are plenty of examples so that children can grasp the techniques involved. The latter examples involve an element of literacy to the question.

A series of slides which help students learn as a class their multiplcation tables. A teacher can jump to a particular times table for students to watch has the times tables pop up when directed. Also there is a final slide which I've found useful for some students.

Area & Perimeter of a rectangle

These two lessons I usually teach to year 7 students. However it could be taught at primary of even higher than year 7, if students struggle with area and perimeter. The powerPoints consist of worked examples demonstrating how we find the area of a rectangle or perimeter.

Area & Perimeter

7 Resources
A collection of PowerPoints on Area of a rectangle, triangle, trapezium and Circle or part circle. The collection also looks at the Perimeter of a rectangle and the circumference of a circle or part circle. Finally there is a collection of worksheets for the above topics.
Area of a circle

Area of a circle

A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Inverse Functions (GCSE)

Inverse Functions (GCSE)

(1)
Lesson and worksheet. The lesson consists of worked examples on how we find the inverse of a function. This lesson continues from the lesson on composite functions. The worksheet allows students to work through a number of questions to show their understanding of inverse functions. Answers are included.
Calculating the mean from a frequency table

Calculating the mean from a frequency table

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean by using the "fx" column. The lesson starts with students asked to calculate the mean of a large set of data. Next by placing the data into a tally chart it is easy to show how much quicker it is to calculate the mean when presented in this format rather than a list of numbers.
Decimals

This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate an estimate for the mean by using the "fx" column. This lesson is usually taught after the lesson which introduces students to the "fx" column.
Subtraction of Fractions

This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to subtract fractions. This lesson is taught once I have covered addition of fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students are given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.

Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the foundation level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.
Vectors Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Vectors Introduction

(1)
These two lessons are my first two lessons introducing students to a vector. The definition of a vector quantity and knowledge of position vectors, column vector, magnitude of a vector and collinear points. Also through a variety of examples students learn how vectors are used.
Multiplication Tables Game

Multiplication Tables Game

(0)
Snap or Pairs Here is a printable set of cards which can be used for one of two games. Snap The 54 cards are shuffled and divided equally between two students. Students then turn the cards up one at a time and work out the multiplication (or division) on that card. If that card matches the card on top of another player’s pile, the player who says “snap” first wins the pile of cards. The winner is the person who ends up with the entire pile of cards. Or if you choose to end the game earlier, the player with the most cards. Pairs Alternatively, all 54 cards are placed face down. Players then take it in turns to turn over two cards and work out the value for each card. If the two cards have matching answers the player puts the two cards in front of them as winning cards. This process is continued until all cards have been matched. The winner of the game is the person with the most cards in front of them.
GCSE Higher level Mathematics revision game

GCSE Higher level Mathematics revision game

GCSE Higher level Mathematics run around game This activity is aimed at Higher level 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. (For a higher level set this may need printing more than once) 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 Higher level 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!
