Introduction to circle theorems, year 10

(0)
A whole lesson I designed for an interview lesson for year 10 state school in the UK, second set. A great visual way for introducing students into the topic of circle theorems. This lesson specifically focuses on two circle theorems: Angles in the same segment are equal Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference. The most engaging part of this lesson is the gifs used during the lesson, and the opportunity for students to really master the topic through the use of pictures. Slideshow is many slides long and includes a very nice linked starter. Please watch video for lesson in full. This resource includes: Lesson plan Worksheet Powerpoint

29 Worksheet Tabs Included! Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available. FOUR files are attached as a part of this resource, yet you can create an infinite number of worksheets all with attached solutions. The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers which need to go through two operations, subsequently creating an output. There are a total of four operation pairs, so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided. You click on the arrow tab for a new worksheet OR alternatively the ‘delete’ button. Topics included are four operations (including negative numbers); percentages of amount, and percentage increase decrease; fractions of amounts, and fraction increase and decrease; and standard. form. Has been used many times successfully within classrooms for year 7s, 8s, and year 9s. Please leave reviews if you found this resource helpful!

14 slide powerpoint presentation, in which every other slide includes a video. Every other slide is a video of a venn diagram being shaded in, and the remaining slides are videos of the notational answers. You could use this resource in several ways. Firstly you could use the turquoise colour slides to give a Venn diagram notation, such as P(AnB’) and then you could get students to demonstrate their answers in their book. Alternatively you could use the pictoral videos, and ask the students what you think the equivalent notation is.
SCALE FACTOR / PROPORTION worksheet involving interesting PHOTOGRAPHS

SCALE FACTOR / PROPORTION worksheet involving interesting PHOTOGRAPHS

(0)
This worksheet is designed for KS3 and KS4 to understand length scale factor problems, which typically involve using a calculator. The worksheet is suitable for most types of children, but is targetted for the more able learner. Children need to use the numbers already provided for the dimensions of the photographs to work out the scale facctor of enlargement. To make this worksheet more challenge written dimensions can be removed, and children can measure the pictures themselves. Workhseet contains 6 problems, multiple extension questions, and links to real life such as Instagram. In addition to this the worksheet has an example on how to complete the questions. I often find teaching the topic of scale factor quite dull. As a result I have tried to make it more exciting by using images I have taken from various trips to different countries, and relating the worksheet to real life experiences of the students. Comes with DETAILED solutions. Length scale factor requires you to work out what is the multiplicative factor you need in order to get from one length to another.
KS3, KS4, Number Ordering Plenary Game, Ideal for low ability for learners but great for all

KS3, KS4, Number Ordering Plenary Game, Ideal for low ability for learners but great for all

(0)
The idea of this game is for students to put the numbers 1-15 in their exercise book, and write the number 1 on line 1 and the number 1000 on line 15. They are then revealed numbers one by one, and their aim is to try and fit all the numbers onto the number line in a chronological order. Once this process is complete you can ask the class who obtained the largest number of correctly ordered numbers. You can change the maximum number to something greater i.e. ‘10000’ or something smaller i.e. ‘300’. Also due to this being an excel worksheet generator there are an infinite number of answers that can be available. This is a great game to end the lesson with and always engages students.

This resource comes with EIGHT different times tables grids which you need to fill out the missing entries. There are both smaller grids (6x6) and larger grids (12x12) which involve a variety of differentiated problems. Some of the grids have row and column headings, whereas other involve a challenge to work out what the row and column headings are. Great way to revise times tables, or a settler in a lesson. The challenge problems involve loads of other sub topics, such as deducing ‘factors’, ‘solving equations’ and more. Please review if you found helpful.

Function Machine Style Worksheets, Differentiated, Engaging, with Solutions

(4)
Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available. The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers which need to go through two operations, subsequently creating an output. The operation for this specific function machine involves four operations, and negative numbers. So you start with 6 and then ‘x6 +2’. There are a total of four operation pairs, so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided.

This resource is based upon the popular idea of a crossword. However instead of using words, numbers are used instead. Clues are given by the yellow boxes in the forms of expressions. Some of the clues involve one step, whereas others involve two steps. Could use sheet with or without calculator depending on ability of the class. You get two diferentiated resources for each worksheet, as both the easier and harder worksheets provided give the same answers, whilst usefully giving different questions allowing differentiation within a class.

For both sheets: the first 5 problems are solely involving positive numbers when adding from the bottom of the pyramid upwards. The 6th problem involves decimals. The 7th, 8th and 9th involving negative numbers, with the 9th dealing with smaller negative numbers. Finally the 10th problem involves both negative numbers and decimals. The hard worksheet involves the same pyramid as the easy worksheet, however, instead of having to solely add from the bottom of the pyramid, and work your way upwards, you have work down and up through the pyramid using both subtraction and addition.

Simultaneous Equations Worksheet, Linear / Quadratic, 3 Levels Difficulty, Differentiated, Answers
skierkrowlandsskierkrowlands

Simultaneous Equations Worksheet, Linear / Quadratic, 3 Levels Difficulty, Differentiated, Answers

(1)
This is a worksheet including 18 simultaneous equations questions for linear and quadratic equations. This is a differentiated resource containing three levels of difficulty. Section 1 only has the variables ‘a’ and ‘b’, and for all 6 questions, a few decimal answers and a matching coefficient in each pair of eqautions. Section 2 has varying variables and unmatching coefficients. Whereas section 3 involves quadratic and linear equation, which touches on the topics ‘changing the subject of the formula’, ‘substitution’, ‘expanding brackets’, ‘factorising’ and ‘solving’. All three questions make this topic more interesting because of the use of ‘negative numbers’ as answers, as well as understanding the importance of the relationship between different signs.

Relay Race Excel Spreadsheet used to input answers to ANY relay race to save time for the teacher

Relay Race Excel Spreadsheet used to input answers to ANY relay race to save time for the teacher

(1)
Whenever I am doing a relay race I always find it quite monotonous that students are constantly getting me to check their answers during a lesson. Therefore, I’ve devised a spreadsheet to enable me to facilitate learning of questions rather than constantly spending the lesson to check if 100 answers are correct. Also this is good at limiting cheating when answers just become chinese whispers. Basically you input the questions’ answers at the bottom of the spreadsheet and then click hide. Students then use your keyboard to input there answers for individual or sets of questions and if there answer is correct the cell will be hilighted in green. This gives a great way for students and teachers alike to monitor their progress throughout the answer. Beware you may need to set out some rules about how often they can input answers to prevent a queue from forming at the computer.
Function Machine Style Worksheets for Percentages of Amounts, Differentiated, Engaging, Solutions
skierkrowlandsskierkrowlands

Function Machine Style Worksheets for Percentages of Amounts, Differentiated, Engaging, Solutions

(1)
This is a choice of 4 different worksheets testing on the topic of percentages of amounts, through the mode of a function machine. Two of the worksheet are ‘Easy Questions’ whereas the other two worksheets are 'Hard Questions. For the easy questions students start with with a red grid in the central of the worksheet containing 9 different numbers, which is the input. They then need to find a percentage of all 9 of these numbers, such as finding ‘20%’ of the original numbers, obtaining an output number. This process is repeated four times, for four differing percentages which are both greater and smaller than 100%. The difficult worksheets differently start with output numbers, so students need to understand how to reverse the process, and to be able to divide by a multiplier ratehr than multiply by the multiplier. A resource which is ‘ready to go’, and both the easy and difficult worksheets are linked usefully by the same solutions. Please leave a review if you found this helpful.
