Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics
alutwychealutwyche

Expanding, Factorising and Solving Quadratics

(73)
This is designed to take the students from simple expanding a bracket to simple factorising to multiplying out two brackets to factorising quadratics to simplifying algebraic fractions to solving quadratics by completing the square to solving quadratics using the quadratic formula and simultaneous equations involving quadratics. There are questions for each as well as examples and explanations. Between each section there is a 'Where are you now?' section to show progress.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Spiders

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Spiders

(8)
Four sheets (two with mixed numbers, two without) to practise multiplying and dividing fractions. This is just a different way of doing some questions and depending on how it's run can involve plenty of discussion.
Solving Equations In Places You Wouldn't Expect

Solving Equations In Places You Wouldn't Expect

(0)
Eight situations where forming and solving an equation could be required; topics include Perimeter, angles, averages, percentages, fractions, compound measures, probability and ratio (the final two involve quadratics). Read the instructions and from that form and solve. I have done solutions should you need them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
