Trigonometric Ratios - Unit Circle
Trigonometric Ratios – Unit Circle
One of the new topics of the reformed GCSE Mathematics (9-1) syllabus is trigonometric ratios: students need to memorise the trig ratios for 0˚, 30˚, 45˚, 60˚ and 90˚. At A-level, students tend to find it difficult to learn these ratios by heart and GCSE students are most likely to struggle even more with this.
The 'Unit Circle' shows the trig ratios (sine, cosine and tangent) in context and it has been my experience that students find it much easier to learn these ratios by heart using the unit circle rather than the traditional table used by most teachers. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the ‘Unit Circle’’ as most of us are so used to the table in conjunction with the graphs. However, once you have made the transition, your will see that the students will memorise the trig ratios very quickly. It works best if the ‘Unit Circle’ is used from the very start when the trigonometric ratios are being introduced.
This resource consists of 11 pages: a blank ‘Unit Circle’, a completed ‘Unit Circle’ in degrees (both in colour and black and white), a completed ‘Unit Circle’ in radians (both in colour and black and white), four examples on how to find the ratios, using the sine-line, cosine-line and tangent-line, and for GCSE students just the first quadrant blank, completed, in colour and in black and white.

Fluency in Number Work - No Calculator
The reformed GCSE Mathematics (9-1) curriculum demands from students a higher degree of fluency in number work. This worksheet is aimed at showing students a variety of skills to evaluate numerical expressions more effectively and to solve multi-step number work problems more fluently. This worksheet has a total of 100 questions (80 numerical expressions and 20 number problems), involving the four operations, fractions, decimal numbers, percentages, indices, surds, standard form, multiplication factors, proportion, ratio, percentage change, simple interest and compound interest.
Most of these questions can be solved in a variety of ways and students should try to pick methods which they feel comfortable with. The worked answers accompanying this worksheet have been written with the emphasis on accuracy, trying to show students methods of how to evaluate expressions without making calculation errors.
This worksheet is excellent revision for all students sitting the non-calculator paper of the reformed GCSE Mathematics examination.

Identifying simple sequences and finding their nth term
This download consists of two worksheets on sequences.
The first worksheet, ‘Recognising Sequences’, shows 24 sequences and students should establish the type of sequence (linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential, prime numbers) and write down the next two terms of each of these sequences.
The second worksheet, ‘The nth Term of a Sequence’, consist of 45 sequences and students need to write down the nth term of each of these sequences. The first page has only linear sequences, the second page has only quadratic sequences and on the third page there is a mixture of different types of sequences: linear, quadratic and cubic.
