The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

Angles in a triangle or quadrilateral

Angles in a triangle or quadrilateral

(0)
The power point presentation shows students why angles in a triangle add up to 180. Prior knowledge is required here of the angles on a straight line and/or Alternate angles. The power point has a series of worked examples for the angles in a triangle before looking at the angles in a quadrilateral. Following the angles in a quadrilateral there are a series of cards that can be printed to go with a collection of questions at the board. (a bit like bingo) Students answer each question and should find a number that can be crossed out. The winner being the one who completes their card correctly!
Area of a circle

Area of a circle

(0)
A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Probability

Probability

3 Resources
This bundle puts together lessons on the probability from the basics of a single event up to the probability of more than one event found through a tree diagram
The understanding of f(x)
sjcoopersjcooper

The understanding of f(x)

(1)
This Powerpoint is used to introduce students to the expression f(x). Worked examples demonstrate how f(x) can be used algebraically. Solving equations or substituting x for other quantities.
Decimals Workbook

This workbook consists of 5 worksheets. One for conversion between decimals and fractions and one of each for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. I use this book together with the PowerPoint uploaded on here. Answers included
Area of a Triangle & Trapezium
sjcoopersjcooper

Area of a Triangle & 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.
Calculating the mean
sjcoopersjcooper

Calculating the mean

3 Resources
These three lessons teach students how to find the mean from a set of numbers. Whether it is simply adding the number up and dividing by how many numbers there are or finding an estimate for the mean from a frequency table.
Area & Perimeter
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter

5 Resources
A collection of PowerPoints on Area of a rectangle, triangle, trapezium and Circle or part circle. The collection also looks at the Perimeter of a rectangle and the circumference of a circle or part circle. Finally there is a collection of worksheets for the above topics.
Angle Properties
sjcoopersjcooper

Angle Properties

5 Resources
This series of lessons teaches students how to answer questions involving 1. Angles on a straight line 2. Angles at a point. 3. Vertically opposite angles. 4. Corresponding angles & Alternate angles 5. Angles in a triangle & quadrilaterals
Area an Perimeter of a rectangle
sjcoopersjcooper

Area an Perimeter of a rectangle

(0)
These two lessons I usually teach to year 7 students. However it could be taught at primary of even higher than year 7, if students struggle with area and perimeter. The powerPoints consist of worked examples demonstrating how we find the area of a rectangle or perimeter.

Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Calculus Lesson2: Differentiation by rule
sjcoopersjcooper

Calculus Lesson2: Differentiation by rule

(0)
This lesson is a follow on from the lesson on differentiation by first principles. Following that lesson and homework, students should by now have realised a shorter approach with differentiation. This lesson develops that understanding, whilst still remaining with the positive power. There is an assumption here that they would have met Tangents and Normals to the curve through their geometry work. The lesson also contains a worksheet for students to work through.
GCSE Foundation Mathematics Revision  Game
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Foundation Mathematics Revision Game

(1)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. For this run around calculators are placed on the table for questions 1 to 4 and table for questions 13 to 16 The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!
Paper 1 Mathematics papers for Foundation & Higher
sjcoopersjcooper

Paper 1 Mathematics papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at non calculator for foundation and higher. These papers can not be obtained by students on the internet. Hence are ideal for end of term (or year) assessments. Solutions are included.
The indefinite integral
sjcoopersjcooper

The indefinite integral

(0)
This lesson follows the lessons taught on differentiation. The opening slide introduces integration as the reverse of differentiation. Then through a variety of examples students get used to integration.
Standard Integrals
sjcoopersjcooper

Standard Integrals

(0)
A lesson teaching students the general integrals they need to know for the A2 material of calculus. A worksheet is also attached which can be used as classwork or as a piece of homework.
