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.

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

(1)
This lesson is used to develop an understanding of the transformations of graphs when given in the format y = f(x). This lesson concentrates on the stretches of curves including reflections. Initially the examples are to develop their understanding. Whereas the further examples are for students to follow the rules developed. The lesson ends with a slide which can be printed for students to attempt on their own.
Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

(1)
This lesson consists of a series of examples which demonstrate how a unit square can be used to determine which transformation a given 2x2 matrix represents. Also the unit square can be used to create a 2x2 matrix. The lesson concludes with a set of questions for the students to answer. I tend to use this lesson when teaching the Further Mathematics GCSE.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to differential equations which is required at Core 4 level and also in the later mechanics work. There are several worked examples which demonstrate how to separate he variables and then use their knowledge of integration.
Probability Tree Diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree Diagrams

(0)
A power point presentation which shows students how to construct and use a Tree diagram through a series of worked examples. Following the presentation there is a worksheet for students to answer either as a piece of classwork or as a homework. Answers are also provided.
Calculating the mean

Calculating the mean

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean. I use this lesson with students who have probably met the topic before but require a revisit to the topic. I usually use this lesson before I introduce student to the "fx" column and therefore questions involving the frequency table.
Angle Properties

Angle Properties

5 Resources
This series of lessons teaches students how to answer questions involving 1. Angles on a straight line 2. Angles at a point. 3. Vertically opposite angles. 4. Corresponding angles & Alternate angles 5. Angles in a triangle & quadrilaterals
Velocity-Time graphs
sjcoopersjcooper

Velocity-Time graphs

(0)
This power point has a series of worked examples to demonstrate how students can find the distance traveled or the acceleration of an object by means of finding the (approximate) area under the curve or the gradient of the tangent drawn to the curve.
Rational and Irrational Numbers
sjcoopersjcooper

Rational and Irrational Numbers

(0)
The power point lesson teaches students the understanding of the works Rational and irrational when it comes to numbers. There is a proof for the square root of 2 being irrational and a number of examples where recurring decimals are expressed as fractions (hence showing that they are rational numbers). I always teach this lesson before introducing the simplifying of surds.
Solving Trig equations continued.
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Trig equations continued.

(0)
This lesson makes continued use of the CAST diagram for solving trig equations in a given range. The lesson is used to introduce the quadratics that we see in trig equations and the necessary trig identities needed to solve them.
Area of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

Area of a circle

(0)
A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.
Expressing recurring decimals as fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Expressing recurring decimals as fractions

(0)
The lesson teaches students how to express a variety of recurring decimals as fractions. The lesson ends with a worksheet which could be printed for students to complete in class or as a piece of homework.
Introduction to solving equations
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to solving equations

(0)
The package here contains both worked examples and printable worksheets. The lessons start with very simple equations and shows how they can be solved. The lessons increase with difficulty to a reasonable standard for students aged 9, 10 or 11. Or for students who struggle with this topic at the higher ages.
Drawing straight line graphs
sjcoopersjcooper

Drawing straight line graphs

(0)
This lesson shows students how to work out the y coordinates for given x coordinates. Then the results are placed onto a given xy axis and the line drawn. The lesson is accompanied with a worksheet for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Percentages revision with a calculator
sjcoopersjcooper

Percentages revision with a calculator

(0)
This revision lesson looks at working out a percentage of a quantity with a calculator. The revision continues then looks at percentage increase, decrease and concludes with compound measures. The lesson is therefore ideal for both foundation or higher level students.

Finding the equation of a straight line revision.
sjcoopersjcooper

Finding the equation of a straight line revision.

(2)
This revision lesson is aimed at higher level students and looks at finding the equation of a straight line and also finding the equations of lines perpendicular to other lines. The lesson consists of both worked examples and questions for the students to answer. The lesson should last approximately one hour. However the extras could take that up to many hours!
