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.

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

GCSE Foundation Run around game 5

(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. 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!

Scatter Diagrams

Scatter Diagrams

(1)
This lesson and worksheet I have used as an introduction to scatter diagrams. Through worked examples students learn how to draw a scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit and use the line of best fit to answer further questions. The worksheet can then be used as a piece of classwork or as a piece of homework. Answers are included. New addition to this lesson: Printable two example sheet and Printable four page booklet containing three questions. The new addition was created during COVID times to ensure that students covered as much work as possible during school time. The two worked examples (worked through at the board) ensured that students moved onto the set questions quicker. The three question booklet was also a quick way to assess whether the students understood what was taught.
Circle Centre (0,0) radius r

Circle Centre (0,0) radius r

(1)
This lesson introduces the students to the circle centre (0,0) radius r. Worked examples look at tangency to the circle and points of intersection.
Revision starters for GCSE topics.
sjcoopersjcooper

Revision starters for GCSE topics.

(1)
Here I have created a group of starter questions for my foundation students to tackle at the beginning of the lesson. This powerpoint includes questions on fractions into decimals sequences the nth term solving simple equations dividing into a given ratio simplifying expressions factorising multiplying decimals
Unitary Methods for direct and Inverse proportions
sjcoopersjcooper

Unitary Methods for direct and Inverse proportions

(1)
These two lessons have worked examples which demonstrate the methods used for direct proportion and Inverse proportion. Attached to each lesson is a worksheet which can be printed out for students to either answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)
sjcoopersjcooper

Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)

(0)
This short series of examples demonstrates how we can use the coverup rule to quickly place a given algebraic fraction into partial fractions. The examples also includes areas where partial fractions is useful.
Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

(1)
This lesson is used to develop an understanding of the transformations of graphs when given in the format y = f(x). This lesson concentrates on the stretches of curves including reflections. Initially the examples are to develop their understanding. Whereas the further examples are for students to follow the rules developed. The lesson ends with a slide which can be printed for students to attempt on their own.
Differential Equations
sjcoopersjcooper

Differential Equations

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to differential equations which is required at Core 4 level and also in the later mechanics work. There are several worked examples which demonstrate how to separate he variables and then use their knowledge of integration.
Probability Tree Diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree Diagrams

(0)
A power point presentation which shows students how to construct and use a Tree diagram through a series of worked examples. Following the presentation there is a worksheet for students to answer either as a piece of classwork or as a homework. Answers are also provided.
Further Trigonometry worksheets
sjcoopersjcooper

Further Trigonometry worksheets

(0)
This booklet extends from the introduction of trigonometry. The book has a series of worksheets covering Pythagoras or Right angled trigonometry for 3D objects. The booklet then has worksheets on the Sine rule, The Cosine rule and then The area of a triangle.
Velocity-Time graphs
sjcoopersjcooper

Velocity-Time graphs

(0)
This power point has a series of worked examples to demonstrate how students can find the distance traveled or the acceleration of an object by means of finding the (approximate) area under the curve or the gradient of the tangent drawn to the curve.
Rational and Irrational Numbers
sjcoopersjcooper

Rational and Irrational Numbers

(0)
The power point lesson teaches students the understanding of the works Rational and irrational when it comes to numbers. There is a proof for the square root of 2 being irrational and a number of examples where recurring decimals are expressed as fractions (hence showing that they are rational numbers). I always teach this lesson before introducing the simplifying of surds.
Solving Trig equations continued.
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Trig equations continued.

(0)
This lesson makes continued use of the CAST diagram for solving trig equations in a given range. The lesson is used to introduce the quadratics that we see in trig equations and the necessary trig identities needed to solve them.
Area of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

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. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.
GCSE Revision: Circle problems
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Revision: Circle problems

(1)
This lesson and worksheet looks at three types of questions I have seen involving the equation of a circle. The worksheet comes with the answers. The examples are not worked through. It is something I’ve just put together during a snow day! Worked examples will be added at a later date.
A dozen Questions 2

A Dozen Questions

(2)
This worksheet can be used as a lesson check or piece of homework. It is designed so that the student or teacher can identify from the twelve topics which they CAN do and which topics need further work. The piece of work has been designed with the new GCSE grading 1 to 9 in mind. Also available from the shop is a gross of higher level questions https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-dozen-11481534 And more dozen questions for the foundation range labelled 2, 3, 4 and 5.
