Building Blocks - Perimeter, Area, Volume

Building Blocks - Perimeter, Area, Volume

(4)
This takes students from fairly straightforward area and perimeter questions (trapeziums, circles etc) through compound shapes and on to cones, frustums and hemispheres including finding the height in terms of the radius for a cone. I have tried to cover all bases with it including density and capacity problems.
The Best Deal
alutwychealutwyche

The Best Deal

(2)
This is an exercise in finding the best way of buying what a customer wants given four different “deals” on pricing. You can buy more than required but not less which should add an extra bit of challenge. Workings are essential and I have provided answers on a separate slide each time. There are five to work out and this should lead to nice mathematical discussions. I have also put this in a format that could be used easily online if this is desirable.
Mathematical Reasoning Tasks

Mathematical Reasoning Tasks

(0)
Having been over a load of exam papers recently I decided to put together some statements regarding number (odd, even, primes), use of the identity sign, graphs, ratio; there are seven slides in total (plus answers) with increasingly difficult statements to cater for a whole class. The idea is to generate discussion and mathematical thinking, probably at the start of a lesson but use it when you like (if at all).
Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Manipulation

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Manipulation

(0)
Various calculations involving fractions, decimals and percentages; students need to change an element of each to meet the requirements listed. Many of the answers can be achieved in numerous ways so this should create discussion and challenge. Answer slide that wasn’t complete is now complete…
Distance-Time Graph Spiders

Distance-Time Graph Spiders

(12)
Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.
Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

(10)
This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.
Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

(22)
Three "spiders" containing increasingly difficult questions moving from just reading the graph through calculating distance travelled to calculating acceleration.
Indices Trees
alutwychealutwyche

Indices Trees

(0)
Eight trees that students can climb based on their knowledge of indices. The idea is to continually ramp up the difficulty and allow students to choose their start point. They start from the most basic writing using powers, laws of indices up to simplifying using fractional and negative indices.
Recognising Graphs
alutwychealutwyche

Recognising Graphs

(4)
A PowerPoint with three graphs drawn on each of 8 slides of increasing challenge, moving from linear through to quadratics, cubics, reciprocals and exponential graphs. On each slide there are equations to match to each graph plus extra equations so that it adds more challenge; there is a blank grid so that the equations that don’t match can be sketched.
GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation

GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation

(115)
This is a revision activity either to be done in small groups or individually. There are the following rounds: Number, Algebra, Shape and Space, Date Handling, Using and Applying. All have 10 questions worth one point each except the Using and Applying round where there are 5 questions worth 3 points each, where workings must be given.
Surds Spiders

Surds Spiders

(13)
These spiders (there are seven of them in total) take you through simplifying, calculating, rationalising denominators, expanding brackets and rationalising "tough" surds.
Inequalities Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Inequalities Spiders

(13)
This is designed to make students think about representing inequalities on a number line, listing integers (directly and having simplified) and regions. They are split this way to allow you to start/stop wherever you feel your class needs to. The number lines and graphs are as big as I can make them!
The Number Games
alutwychealutwyche

The Number Games

(7)
A student gave me the title (pun on 'The Hunger Games'), I did the rest. Five different sets of questions in a functional style for students to work through either individually or in pairs/teams. It's supposed to be non-calculator! I may do a sequel for this as there are a few topics I haven't covered.
Constructions

Constructions

(1)
This (hopefully) does what it says on the tin: I wanted some sheets for students to construct triangles and bisectors so produced this. The constructions all fit in the boxes provided as long as you print them out on A4 paper. We start with constructing triangles, then bisectors, then a rhombus and a perpendicular line from a given point before finishing with couple of challenges (Yin-yang, incircle and circumcircle). Like I say, it is not designed to be flashy just practical.
Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation
alutwychealutwyche

Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation

(11)
This was designed as a "taster" session to A Level mathematics for Year10s/11s and builds on what they should know regarding expanding brackets until they discover that you can use Pascal's Triangle to expand brackets. It gives them the chance to investigate their theories and what effect a negative sign makes.
