Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations.
We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal.
Provided with solutions.
How much does a squirrel weigh? Use the scales to find out!
This is a nice way to introduce algebra equations. Each seesaw is perfectly in balance, which leads to a simple equation to find the weight of an animal. This is very intuitive and pupils will have no trouble 'seeing' the first few, then will need to start using algebra to solve the harder ones.
Answers provided.
A rare chance to see the first ever use of an equals sign "for what could be more equal than two parallel lines" and therefore the first ever equation.
Pupils can read the Olde English, translate it into modern equations, then solve them. The first two are linear, the remaining four quadratic.
Provided with full solutions.
A fun activity to practice learning about the straight line.
Includes
- drawing graph from data points
- working out the gradient
- working out the y-intercept
- working out the equation of a line from the graph
- using the equation to interpolate missing points
Solutions included
This resource is designed to give pupils much-needed practice on where points move after a transformation, for example: Where does the point (2,4) on the graph f(x) appear on the graph 3f(x)+1?
The first questions are basic practice then pupils look at progressively more complicated graphs, including some practice finding the turning points and range and domain.
Provided with 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 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 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
This will introduce the topics of 3D volume and surface area, and also provide some challenging extension questions.
A set of four worksheets on
- Basic Skills (rounding, 2D perimeter and area, 3D volume and surface area)
- Problems (real life problems involving volume and surface area of cuboids, cylinders, cones and spheres)
- Units (converting between e.g. square metres and square centimetres)
- Extensions to the Problems (revisiting the problems with converting units and more in-depth calculations)
All provided with solutions.
Four sets of practice questions.
Includes:
- determining if numbers are prime (and odd or square numbers)
- multiples and least common multiples
- factors and highest common factor
Solutions included
Includes
- converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages
- ordering a mixed list of all three
- equivalent fractions
- adding fractions
- mixed numbers and improper fractions
Solutions included.
This is to introduce pupils to decimals, using a context they are probably already familiar with (the time to run the 100 metres). Pupils work in pairs to complete some exercises looking up times, then get familiar with a stopwatch, then compare some decimal times.
A selection of questions (with full solutions) each asking 'how many ways' can something happen.
Begins with simple problems that are small enough that they can be done without any special technique, then problems that require the 'multiplication principle' then on to permutations and combinations.
A series of extension projects about counting. Each question is a seemingly simple problem that introduces pupils to combinatorics. For example:
- how many ways can you make change for a pound?
- how many four digit numbers have digits that sum to 9?
A series of worksheets exploring the link between door codes, Euler Graphs and also De Brujn Graphs. This will introduce pupils to the concepts of
- vertices
- edges
- degree of vertices
- directed graphs
Two sets of worksheets with solutions on
- writing numbers in words
- adding and subtracting whole numbers
- time intervals and 24 hour time
- order of operations (BODMAS)
- multiplication and division by e.g. 10, 200, 3000
- long multiplication
- rounding with significant figures
Two sets of worksheets with solutions on
- recognising and drawing fractions
- finding simple fractions of an amount
- simplifying fractions
- equivalent fractions
And one further worksheet with more routine practice, plus a Power Point with some simple questions
