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.

Completing the square and circle centre the origin

(1)
This lesson I teach students sometime after completing the square introduction and before the equation of circle centre (a,b) The start of the lesson looks at revision of completing the square and some uses to it. The latter part of the lesson looks at the circle centre (0,0) and several aspects which will become useful in time. The lesson concludes with some questions for the students to answer.

Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

(1)
This lesson consists of a series of examples which demonstrate how a unit square can be used to determine which transformation a given 2x2 matrix represents. Also the unit square can be used to create a 2x2 matrix. The lesson concludes with a set of questions for the students to answer. I tend to use this lesson when teaching the Further Mathematics GCSE.
Introduction to Projectiles
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Projectiles

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to projectiles. It is assumed that students are already familiar with the standard formulae used in kinematics when a body moves in one direction. I always start this lesson by throwing the board pen horizontally and students witness that it moves in two directions. We discuss the acceleration acting on the body and hence the first example is on this basis. I follow that up with some more worked examples before giving them a standard diagram for projectiles.
Solving simultaneous equations

Solving simultaneous equations

(0)
This lesson revises with students how we can solve simultaneous equations by elimination and by substitution through worked examples. I have used this lesson in the past for year 12 AS students, however I have also used it as a revision lesson for year 11 students.

New GCSE grade 7 material: Test 2

(0)
This is a Test I will use to check whether my students have met the standards required for topics which have been labelled as grade 7 in the new GCSE. Clearly I have listed which topics are tested and students are given this list in advance so that they can revise the highlighted topics. More tests will follow as I prepare them and then bundles will become available.
Mathematics: Collection of like terms

Mathematics: Collection of like terms

(0)
This is a short revision lesson I use with my low ability students at KS4. However it could be used with KS3 students. The aim is to quickly revise through a few examples and then for them to have ago at a few on the algebra topic collection of like terms.
Linear Sequences revision

Linear Sequences revision

(0)
This lesson is aimed at Foundation students struggling to understand the Linear sequence questions found on the GCSE examination papers. Every revision slide consists of a couple of examples followed by a set of questions for the students to attempt. There are additional questions which can be printed out for the students and also the excel document allows you to generate as many questions as you like!

An Excellent Christmas resource to keep the students busy with their four rules of number before the Christmas break. Answers to the crossnumber are included.
Converting Fractions or Decimals into Percentages
sjcoopersjcooper

Converting Fractions or Decimals into Percentages

(5)
This short lesson I use with KS2/KS3 students when looking at converting Fractions into Percentages or Decimals into Percentages. The lesson is accompanied with a Worksheet for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework. It demonstrates the style I use in class which is to work through examples in class with students pitching in ideas of how to answer the question along the way. Followed by the student then tackling questions on their own. My shop is full of lessons like this (however longer than this lesson). Hence a bought lesson will give you plenty of worked examples as board work with a worksheet to conclude, lasting the student beyond your lesson.

The set contains a worked set of examples in a PowerPoint. There is also a printable set of the examples which might be used in class where students copy the worked solutions as and when delivered by the teacher. The Powerpoint is then followed by a small workbook of seven questions which can easily by sent as an A5 booklet to most printers. The lesson should last up to 1 hour dependent on where you have the students copy out the examples in their entirety or print the prepopulated examples.
Fractions, Proportion & percentage questions

Fractions, Proportion & percentage questions

(10)
Resource with fractions, proportion and percentages. Resource includes worked examples followed by questions, also includes answers. The lesson also includes a worksheet which students could use in class or complete as a piece of homework. This resource should last a full hours lesson or more. This resource is also very useful for students that struggle answering questions involving both fractions and percentages or fractions and ratio in the same question.
Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Tests
sjcoopersjcooper

Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Tests

(0)
The Grade 1 & 2 Tests are based on the type of questions that tend to appear at the beginning of examination papers at GCSE. You may disagree with my positioning of such topics, but I have created Tests papers for what I consider to be the other grades as well. The Grade 3 & 4 Tests are based on topics tested since 2017 and again you might think that one or two topics should be in the grade higher or lower. The aim of these tests is to first identify which topics are causing concern before fixing the issue and further tests are available to see if improvements have been made. Contents Five Grade 1 Tests Five Grade 2 Tests Two Grade 3 Tests. Two Grade 4 Tests. Two Grade 5 Tests.
Error bounds for continuous or Discrete data
sjcoopersjcooper

Error bounds for continuous or Discrete data

(4)
These two lessons consists of worked examples on error bounds for discrete or continuous data. After each lesson there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
