Frequency polygons and Histograms

Frequency polygons and Histograms

(1)
These two lessons and two worksheets I have used to introduce the basic knowledge of a histogram and then use this knowledge to draw a frequency polygon. The histogram powerpoint and worksheet leaves the class widths at equal intervals. The frequency polygon powerpoint is then taught the next lesson to show students that it is quicker to draw a frequency polygon (and use it for comparisons) rather than a histogram. The worksheets can be used in class or given as a piece of homework.
GCSE Foundation Mathematics Revision  Game

GCSE Foundation Mathematics Revision Game

(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. For this run around calculators are placed on the table for questions 1 to 4 and table for questions 13 to 16 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!

General GCSE Maths grade 1 to 3 revision

(0)
This revision lesson I put together based on material I found most year 11 foundation students were struggling with. The revision mainly focuses on the students ability to apply the four rules of number to some literacy based question. The second revision lesson I have added is on number machines as I found that students were fine with using the number machine one way but poor on reverse. Hence practice makes perfect!

This workbook can be used with the Power point set. It introduces students to labeling up a triangle. Investigate the Sine ratio, Cosine ratio and Tangent ratio. The booklet has a variety of worksheets for each of these individually before mixing it up a little. The booklet then concludes with students having questions where they have to find the labeled angle. The booklet can be printed as an A5 booklet, which I find is easily placed in their books.
The CAST Diagram

The CAST Diagram

(0)
I use this PowerPoint over two lessons. The first lesson introduces students to the CAST diagram. There is an assumption that students are already aware of the three trig curves. A series of examples follow where students find the exact value for the sin, cos or tan of certain angles. The second lesson looks at the definition of a negative angle. The lessons complete with examples of how the CAST diagram can be used to solve simple trig equations for a given range.
