Solving equations graphically

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling solving higher oder equations graphically by adding on a linear line onto a quadratic or cubic graph (as seen in Edexcel 1MA1 GCSE questions). Watch the video for demonstration on how to use. A worksheet to practice is also included. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
Modelling Algebraic fractions

Modelling Algebraic fractions

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that generates GCSE style algebraic fractions questions from simplifying with multiplication/division/addition/subtraction to solving equations with algebraic fractions. Use the slider to differentiate the difficulty of questions and click on the working to reveal the next line of the scaffolded solution. Please see the video to see how to use. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.

Simplifying algebraic expressions

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling working with algebraic expressions. Use the sliders to set the type and difficulty of question. click the hint button to provide scaffolded working (see video demo for how to use). The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.

Defining quadrilaterals using algebraic vectors

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modelling of both vector addition and subtraction with algebraic vectors and using parallel vectors to define quadrilaterals. Please see the video for how the use the teaching aid. I have also included a worksheet of similar questions. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.

Transformations tool (UPDATED)

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that generates examples (carrying out and describing) of all geometric transformations including… ==>reflections ==>translations ==>enlargements (positive and negative SF) ==>rotations Use with an interactive whiteboard to practice carrying out and describing transformations. Use the nagivation buttons to generate examples and carry out the transformation by dragging the green slider (see video for usage). You either need geogebra installed on your machine or use the web link (attached) to use the resource within a web browser without the need to install geogebra. UPDATED: Differentiated worksheets also included.

ward309ward309

Length, area and volume scale factors (including worksheets)

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids the modeling (with full worked solutions) of using length area and volume scale factors to find missing values. Please see the video for how the use the teaching aid. I have also included two differentiated worksheets (one for lengths and areas and one for length, area and volumes) and a scafolding sheet to support students. These are also previewed in the video. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
Adding and subtracting fractions visually
ward309ward309

Adding and subtracting fractions visually

(1)
An interactive and dynamic PowerPoint that models how to add and subtract fractions using pictures. Use the 'fraction' buttons to show the visual representation of each fraction and click on each sector to shade it in. Click on 'add/subtract' once to reveal the common denominator shape and again to visually see the fractions adding together.
Pythagoras and trig in three dimensions
ward309ward309

Pythagoras and trig in three dimensions

(0)
Generates a 3D co-ordinate axes by adding an extra dimension onto a 2D gird. Demonstrates how to plot 2 co-ordinates in three dimensions and considers this as the diagonal of a cuboid. Hover the mouse over the pink and orange triangles and press 'play' to see them in two dimensions. Click the covers to reveal the lengths. Extends to generalising the longest diagonal of a cuboid and includes some exam style questions.
Balancing Equations with subtraction (interactive balancing)

Balancing Equations with subtraction (interactive balancing)

(0)
I've always struggles to show students how subtraction works as a balance as it can't be visulaised, until now!Keep the balance of the scales by adding or subtracting content from both sides. Do this by clicking on the 1's or x's at the top to add on and on each side of the balance to remove them. Pop the balloons by adding weights to both sides (sound effects included!)
Solving by iteration (trial and improvement). Fully dynamic and interactive.
ward309ward309

Solving by iteration (trial and improvement). Fully dynamic and interactive.

(0)
An interactive PowerPoint to model solving quadratic and cubic equations using trial and improvement. Use the +/- buttons on each row to change the input and click on the x number shown to watch it dynamically substitute. Click on the blank parts of the table to reveal the substituted parts evaluated. Using the +/- button on the next row, modify the input and substitute again by clicking on the number shown and repeat the process. If more table is needed, click clear.
