Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

(0)
These two PowerPoint presentations teach students how we find the area of a triangle and a trapezium. Now that students must learn the formula for the area of a trapezium I have shown how the formula is created through the knowledge of the area of a triangle. Through worked examples students learn how to apply these formulae.
Area of a sector and Arc length

Scatter Diagrams

(1)
This lesson and worksheet I have used as an introduction to scatter diagrams. Through worked examples students learn how to draw a scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit and use the line of best fit to answer further questions. The worksheet can then be used as a piece of classwork or as a piece of homework. Answers are included. New addition to this lesson: Printable two example sheet and Printable four page booklet containing three questions. The new addition was created during COVID times to ensure that students covered as much work as possible during school time. The two worked examples (worked through at the board) ensured that students moved onto the set questions quicker. The three question booklet was also a quick way to assess whether the students understood what was taught.

Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

(1)
This lesson consists of a series of examples which demonstrate how a unit square can be used to determine which transformation a given 2x2 matrix represents. Also the unit square can be used to create a 2x2 matrix. The lesson concludes with a set of questions for the students to answer. I tend to use this lesson when teaching the Further Mathematics GCSE.
Probability Tree Diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree Diagrams

(0)
A power point presentation which shows students how to construct and use a Tree diagram through a series of worked examples. Following the presentation there is a worksheet for students to answer either as a piece of classwork or as a homework. Answers are also provided.
Area & Perimeter
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter

5 Resources

Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction

(1)
This lessons introduces the younger students to the first three laws of indices. Through worked examples students develop their understanding of the quick methods used. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework. I used this lesson with a very low ability year 8 class this week and it worked really well.
