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.

Touching circles

(0)
This is the third of three lessons on circles aimed at Advanced level. This lesson looks at circle touching externally or internally.
Circle Centre (a, b) radius r
sjcoopersjcooper

Circle Centre (a, b) radius r

(0)
This lesson is the second of three lessons on circles. Extending from the circle with centre (0,0) this lesson looks at obtaining the equation of the circle when the centre is elsewhere and a variety of other examples.
Standard Integrals concluded

Standard Integrals concluded

(0)
This second lesson on standard integrals includes the knowledge of integration of trig functions and the use of the "1/a" notation. Worksheet is included fir students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework.
Parametric's : Tangents & Normals
sjcoopersjcooper

Parametric's : Tangents & Normals

(0)
This lesson draws together two earlier lessons. One on Tangents and normals to a curve. The second on Parametric Differentiation. The lesson consists of a few worked examples.

GCSE Graded Resources

(0)
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and recent lock downs, I have designed a series of graded worksheets which can be used to identify gaps in students work throughout the grades. This first batch looks at the material which should cover most topics in the Foundation Tier, graded from 1 to 5. There are approximately 3 to 4 sheets for each grade (with answers). The idea is that a student is given a grade 1 sheet to complete. Once marked and reviewed, the class teacher can then identify class issues, individual student issues and revise accordingly. The a second grade 1 sheet can be given to see if there is improvement. This can be completed for a third and sometimes a forth time. The same approach is then given to grades 2, 3, 4 and 5. This can also be used to seek what worked in lock down with on line learning and what did not.
Transformations Reflections

Transformations Reflections

(2)
A lesson teaching students how to reflect in a given mirror line, including work on the xy axis. Lesson also contains a worksheet for students to work through in class or as a piece of homework.
Right Angled Trigonometry
sjcoopersjcooper

Right Angled Trigonometry

(1)
Following on from the lessons which introduce trigonometry to students. These two lessons consist of worked examples using the three trig ratios developed in either year 9 or 8. The introduction lessons are in my shop. I have used this lesson with year 10, having already introduced trigonometry to these students in year 9.
Conditional Probability
sjcoopersjcooper

Conditional Probability

(2)
This lesson is aimed at the higher level student. It is designed to be taught after the tree diagram lesson. Probably late into year 10 or early year 11. The worked examples demonstrate how the tree diagram can be used to answer some questions, but also demonstrates another quicker method of dealing with repeated events.
Cubics: Expanding and factorising
sjcoopersjcooper

Cubics: Expanding and factorising

(0)
With factorising and removing brackets of cubics being new to the GCSE specifications last year I have introduced these two lesson to my class teaching. Starting with removal of brackets students are able to extend from the two brackets situation to the three brackets. The following lesson looks at the more complicated factorising a cubic. Initially starting with the first factor given style of question before looking at factorising with no hint given. Worksheets are given for both lessons which could be used in class or as a piece of homework.
Inverse functions
sjcoopersjcooper

Inverse functions

(0)
Lesson and worksheet. The lesson consists of worked examples on how we find the inverse of a function. This lesson continues from the lesson on composite functions. The worksheet allows students to work through a number of questions to show their understanding of inverse functions.
Circumference of a cirle
sjcoopersjcooper

Circumference of a cirle

(0)
Lesson introduces students again to pi (as with the area resource). However this time students are able to work out the formula for the Circumference of a circle if they have already used my resource for the Area of a circle. The lesson has a variety of examples to be answered at the board and ends with a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Calculating the mean from a frequency table
sjcoopersjcooper

Calculating the mean from a frequency table

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean by using the "fx" column. The lesson starts with students asked to calculate the mean of a large set of data. Next by placing the data into a tally chart it is easy to show how much quicker it is to calculate the mean when presented in this format rather than a list of numbers.
GCSE revision lessons
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE revision lessons

(0)
Here is a small group of revision lessons I have recently used for my year 11 students. These have been written with them in mind and cover the types of questions they were struggling with. Generally I tend to go through one or two at the board before they attempt the others. Revision lessons included are Probability tree diagrams Distance speed time Ingredient questions Flow diagrams and some general “wordy” questions that can be troubling for many students.
Ratio & Proportion
sjcoopersjcooper

Ratio & Proportion

(0)
These 5 lessons introduce students to Ratio and proportion. Lesson 1: Simplifying a ratio and expressing a ratio as a fraction Lesson 2: Expressing as a ratio and simplifying Lesson 3: Dividing into a ratio using the totals in ratio Lesson 4: Dividing into a ratio using one of the given parts Lesson 5: Dividing into a ratio when using the difference between two ratios or the sum of some parts. Each lesson consists of a PowerPoint, printed examples (if preferred ) and a workbook (which I usually print as an A5 booklet). Solutions are given for the workbooks.
Probability of a Single event
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability of a Single event

(0)
Three lessons on the probability of a single event. First lesson starts with likelihood The next two lessons then look at the probability being expressed as a fraction.
Area & Perimeter of a rectangle
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter of a rectangle

(0)
These two lessons I usually teach to year 7 students. However it could be taught at primary of even higher than year 7, if students struggle with area and perimeter. The powerPoints consist of worked examples demonstrating how we find the area of a rectangle or perimeter.
Right Angled Trigonometry
sjcoopersjcooper

Right Angled Trigonometry

(0)
An introduction for students meeting Trigonometry for the first time. Covering several lessons. Demonstrates how to label the sides of a right angled triangle. Introduces students to the three Trig ratios before looking at finding angles.
