Angry Birds: Quadratics Project
Here is a great activity to do as a group, pairs or individually. I haven’t created it but wanted to share it with others. This activity looks at quadratics given in different forms; table of values, graphically, in words, and in standard form. The idea is to see which birds hit the pigs. There are 5 versions of this activity which is great. Students don’t need to know about vertex form (completing the square) for this activity, but do need to understand that the axis of symmetry is half way between the roots.

Bungee Barbie - Scatter Graphs and Line of Best Fit
This activity requires students to gather data to construct a scatter graph. After students have constructed the scatter graph they then have to find the equation of the line of best fit and use that to make a prediction of how many bands are needed for the bungee jump. Calculations will be off which lead to the discussion of interpolation and extrapolation and why maths in the real world does not always match up with theoretical predictions.
The PowerPoint comes with a worksheet that students will use to fill in. I have also attached an egg version. The activity will take at least 2 days. One day to gather their information and the second to test their predictions.
Embedded Linear Simultaneous Equations
30+ linear simultaneous equation problems. The PowerPoint starts with a quick recap on how to solve using either substitution or elimination. Most problems require students to transfer skills from other contexts in order to solve the problem. Problems include, linear and quadratic sequence, equations of quadratic graphs, angle properties, equation of a line, area and perimeter, index rules, HCF & LCM, pressure and density, etc.
Quadratic Sequences - Complete Lesson
The lesson looks at the differences between a linear and quadratic sequences graphically and focusing on finite differences, thus leading to the nth term. The lesson identifies two methods for finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence with multiple questions in different contexts. Questions also have students transferring skills from other topics such as area, solving equations, simultaneous equations, etc.
This lesson can also be used with AQA Further Maths students as the PowerPoint ens with limiting value of a sequence.
Common Factoring - Introductory Lesson
The Following lesson introduces the concept of common factoring through numerical calculators where students find quicker and easier ways to mental calculator sums through the use of common factoring. It then moves on to algebraic factoring with visual displays (algebraic tiles) and finishes with piecewise factoring. The idea is to move from piecewise factoring onto expanding double brackets.
Higher GCSE Maths Starters (Target 5 - 9)
Th bundle contains 32 days worth of starters. Each stater comprises of 2 questions. One being of level 4 or 5 and the other of level 7 to 9. The idea is that students will practice both questions from the beginning and ending of the exam. I find higher level students tend to make mistakes early of in the exam and this allows them to practice these types of questions in class. Thus helping to improve results.
GCSE 9-1 Maths Digit Proofs
For those higher achieving students looking to get a grade 9. As proofs is new to the Edexcel specification, digit proofs is not common but has shown up on a Mock Exam.
