Constructing ASA (angle-side-angle) and SAS (side-angle-side) triangles worksheet. Ruler, protractor and pencil required.

Two posters that can also be turned into flashcards to help y11 foundation students revise for their Foundation Mathematics Edexcel GCSE 9-1 exams. Enjoy! Created with R. Jones.

An illustration for first and second derivatives.

This worksheet should help students notice that Sine, Cosine and Tangent are ratios in right angled triangles and that triangles with the same ratios are similar.

Based on the great blog post by https://thirdspacelearning.com/blog/gcse-maths-paper-2-2022/, these are the crossover questions that she has mentioned. All rights to the resources belong to Edexcel.

The students are meant to work column by column (sin, then cos, then tan). They’ll start by tracing to get a feeling for the shape of the graph and will be guided through to sketching their own with less and less scaffolds. Print on A4 and set the print quality to high. Enjoy!

These are taken from the incredible website mathsgenie.co.uk. I have used them in a lesson where I printed off the attached .pdf with the question on top and the worked solution on the bottom and folded the sheet so that the question would be on one side and the worked solution on the other. I then placed a selection of these at the back of the classroom and one student per table would get up and pick out one question. The students would work in pairs to answer the question in their exercise books and then mark their own work with the worked solutions. If they feel confident, they can put themselves down as experts. After that, they bring the question back and pick a new one. This works also well with a mixture of topics.

Game for a class of up to 35 students about finding and using the nth term. This requires everyone’s focus and works best when it’s snappy. Does not need to involve all cards, but they need to be consecutive. 2 or more cards per student in smaller classes also works. Make sure to print off a copy for yourself to follow along if the class gets stuck.

A set of diagrams to illustrate fractions.

A story to introduce the nth term. Works best if adapted and read to your students.

A guided investigation into interior and exterior angles of polygons.
