A series of nicely presented questions each with some money coming in and some expenses. It's quite simple but gives pupils plenty of practice dealing with the terminology and some simple numeracy.
Three standard questions testing pupils can correctly use the Wilxocon test, for determining if there is a difference between two sets of data. There are also two extension questions.
Provided with full solutions.
A set of five challenging questions testing the link between length, area, and volume scale factor.
Full solutions provided.
These questions were created by my pupils, so have a relatively real life context!
A Powerpoint of Pythagoras questions covering the following topics:
Squaring and square rooting
Solving the equations that result from Pythagoras equations
Finding long and short sides on triangles(with and without a calculator)
‘Double Pythagoras’ with two applications
3D Pythagoras with a space diagonal
Distance between co-ordinates
Converse of Pythagoras
Answers at the bottom of each slide
Two sets of questions (non-calculator and calculator) practicing
Fractions -equivalent adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying
Order of Operations
Highest common factor
Prime factorisation
Expressing as a percentage and finding a percentage
Square roots, and cube roots and squaring
Algebra - solving simple equations, simplifying, substitution
Rounding to one decimal place
Answers provided too.
Nine provocative questions to get pupils thinking about infinity.
Each one has footnotes on the Powerpoint to guide towards the answer.
What are Zeno’s paradoxes?
Is 0.9999999999999999999… the same as 1?
What is the smallest decimal number more than 3?
What is infinity plus one?
What is Hilbert’s Hotel?
If something is true for the first million numbers, is it true for all the numbers?
What is 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 … equal to?
Are some infinities bigger than others?
Are there more: numbers, fractions, or decimals?
A worksheet with five real-life problems that require using very big or very small numbers
- How far does the Earth travel in one second
- How many Earth's fit in the sun
- How long does it take for the Sun's light to reach us
- How long does it take to get a radio signal to Mars
- How many atoms are in the Earth
These require a bit of other basic mathematical knowledge (e.g. area of circle) but mostly pupils are lead through each problem in stages.
Full solutions included at the end.
A series of examples and full solutions on the following topics
- Volume of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms)
- Surface Area of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and other prisms)
Worked examples and questions on these four topics:
Substitute values into expressions and evaluate
Multiply two brackets
Solve inequalities
Create and solve inequalities for problems in words
Solutions included
An introduction to Game Theory that I gave to a class of smart 16 year olds.
Introduces the idea of a game, and gives some examples of simple two player games and up to zero sum games.
Some fun examples of games you can play in class!
A worksheet with four pre-printed distance-time graphs for pupils to interpret.
Their answers should be sentences such as "go at 4 metres per second for 3 seconds, then pause for 2 seconds, then ..."
A series of four worksheets to progressively introduce pupils to the idea of adding and subtracting fractions by matching the denominators. Rather than just presenting it to them as a rule, they work through simple examples to gain an understanding of what is happening.
I wrote this out of frustration with a poor class who simply didn't seem to understand how fractions worked, and although they could memorise a method, would then misapply it (for example, trying to add three fractions with them was a disaster, until they actually understood what they were doing)
A series of four worksheets about domain, range and composite functions. There is many lessons work here with lots of practice.
The four parts are:
- Domain and Range
- Composite Functions
- Further Functions (combining domain, range, composite)
- Extension (proofs about linear functions)
All provided with full solutions
A series of four worksheets to give some background algebra, do plenty of examples finding a limit, then for advanced pupils go on to find a general formula for a linear sequence.
If you follow this through you will be able to instantly work out the value of the 50th term of u_n+1 = 0.4 u_n +3 (for example).
The four worksheets are:
- Indices (practice on this)
- Algebra (rearranging formula)
- Sequences (standard questions on finding limits, and graphing the results)
- Investigation (putting it all together to get a general formula)
All provided with full solutions.
A set of worksheets building up to an investigation about the time it takes for an object to drop that can be done in the classroom to practice the skills learned.
The sections are:
- Basic Skills (factorising, simplifying fractions, solving equations)
- Questions (rearranging linear formulas, quadratic formulas, and more difficult formulas too)
- Investigation (how long it takes a ball to drop, using a formula and testing it)
All provided with full solutions
