Perimeter, Area and Volume

Perimeter, Area and Volume

(59)
Taking you through counting squares, to rectangle/triangles/parallelograms/trapeziums to compound shapes, circles, cuboids, prisms, sectors/arc lengths, cones, spheres and frustums (phew!). Complete with success criteria etc.
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.
Recognising Graphs

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.
Surds Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

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!
Simplifying Expressions Trees
alutwychealutwyche

Simplifying Expressions Trees

(0)
There are four trees where students can work from bottom to top, choosing an appropriately challenging start point if they wish. This is “introduction to algebra” stuff, I will do expanding and factorising on a separate file but these could offer nice starters or plenaries. It contains adding/subtracting as well as multiplying variables and collecting like terms.
Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.
alutwychealutwyche

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.
GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation
alutwychealutwyche

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.
Speed-Time Graphs Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

(22)
Three "spiders" containing increasingly difficult questions moving from just reading the graph through calculating distance travelled to calculating acceleration.
Distance-Time Graph Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

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.
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.
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.
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.
Percentage Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Percentage Spiders

(3)
This takes students through percentage of an amount, one number as a percentage of another, percentage increase and decrease (including multipliers), percentage change, repeated percentage change and the reverse. This should be more challenging as the students go through it and should produce discussion.
Surface Area and Volume Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Surface Area and Volume Spiders

(6)
Six spiders on surface area and volume (3 of each) and a final "problems" spider. They are of increasing difficulty, moving from cubes and cuboids to prisms to cones, spheres and pyramids. These are designed to avoid students getting into a rut of performing a mathematical recipe by asking a mixture of finding surface area/volume to working backwards. These usually encourage discussion in class.
Types of Graph
alutwychealutwyche

Types of Graph

(4)
I did this having seen numerous poor attempts at sketches in books on recognising types of graph.
