Trigonometry

Trigonometry

(0)
A resource that took me 5 lessons to go through. So there’s a unit here. (Adding in a few little worksheets I found online for some extra questions) Introduces sin and cos separately, using similar triangles. Then moves onto trig tables, so students aren’t just pressing a ‘magic’ button on their calculator. Then a little exercise choosing between them. Then tan. Then choosing sin/cos/tan. Then angles. Lots here. Lots of questions, lots of examples. No challenging or problem solving questions. This was meant as an introduction.
Writing Expressions

Writing Expressions

(0)
A subject that lots of my students have struggled with in the past. Includes an insane amount of whiteboard work to get students used to the concept. Also includes some GCSE questions and a bit around the parts of an equation.

Needs a lot of printing (due to the nature of the topic) NOTE : I update stuff often, chopping and changing or correcting errors or general improvements. The latest version of this PowerPoint can always be found here.

A lesson focusing on learning the names of polygons (with a Quizlet link) and saying if something IS a Polygon or not
Regular Shape?
richardtockrichardtock

Regular Shape?

(3)
Students measure sides of shape to determine if it is regular or not. As always, please comment if you found this useful, have an idea on how to improve it, or want something changed.

It’s CHRISTTTTTMMMAAAAATHSSSS All you need to run a full lesson with a mathematical cristmaths quiz. Designed to be accessible to all. Starts with a bit of Shakin’ Stevens asking students to tally various things he sings and notice bits of the really creepy video : - ) Goes onto a bit of converting time, some Suduku stuff, some Chris moyles Maths quizes and a bit of spot the mathematician. Have fun and have a wonderful Christmas Richard

Differentiating Functions iGCSE

(0)
Covers the basics of differentiation. Designed for iGCSE but I will probably use this with my AS classes too. *A warm up *An interactive geogebra widget *An example problem pair *Some whiteboard work *An exercise *Another example problem pair covering things like 1/x and root x *Another exercise with some more difficult examples *A plenary with 5 quick questions.

Introduction to Vector Geometry

Introduction to vector geometry. Includes examples and two exercises. One on simple questions where you just have to add the vector ‘routes’ and one that throws in some mid point stuff. NO PARALLEL LINES, COLINEAR POINTS OR PROOF HERE
Vary and Twist: Simplifying Ratio

Vary and Twist: Simplifying Ratio

(1)
An attempt at some variation theory This one was hard. I spent ages rearranging questions and looking at what should be added. Specifically, I had a massive dilemma when it came to introducing fractions. I was trying to point out the ways in which simplifying fractions and simplifying ratio were similar, but I’m not sure that I haven’t just led students down the wrong path thinking they’re equivalent. For instance 5 : 6 is 5/11 and 6/11, not 5/6. Hmmmm. The variations I used for section A. An example where you can use a prime divisor The opposite way around. What happens to our answer. Order is important! Half one side. 8 : 5 becomes 4 : 5 One that’s already as simple as possible. Time for some questioning? How do you know you can’t simplify it? It’s not just reducing the numbers down. Here you have to multiply up. Deals with what simple is. I have changed this from the picture to make only one number vary from the previous question. Needs a non prime divisor. This isn’t really a variation, though. It has nothing really to do with the previous questions! Again, double one side Double both. Our answer does not double! Adding a third part of the ratio. Changes the answer significantly. Doubling two parts here. Our parts don’t double in our answer! If you amend this and it works better, please let me know.

Simplifying Surds

(0)
CHANGELOG 22/09/2021 - Corrected the second exercise Covers a few cases eg -Root 8 = 2 root 2 -2Root8 = 4Root2 -Simpifying with fractions and canceling a common term. A not huge. A starter. A little activity on what is a surd. A good amount of example/problem pairs. Two question sets. Some exam questions and five quick questions at the end. Included worksheet is merely a copy of what’s on the PowerPoint.
Surds and brackets
richardtockrichardtock

Surds and brackets

(0)
Example problem pair and an exercise to do. Plus 5 quick questions, two exam questions and some multiple choice shenanigans aimed at hinting at the skills needed to rationalise the denominator.
Frequency Tables and Mode
richardtockrichardtock

Frequency Tables and Mode

(0)
Covers how to draw a frequency table, continuous and discrete data and finding the mode from grouped and ungrouped frequency tables. Has a starter, some example problem pairs, some questions (that aren’t amazing tbh) and a plenary.
The Cosine Rule
richardtockrichardtock

The Cosine Rule

(0)
Just the cosine rule. Finding the side Finding the angle Example problem pairs (see https://berwickmaths.com/ for an explanation of this) and some questions. Not much of putting it all together but a quick exercise in picking which rule to use. There is an exam question included, a hard one that involves using cosine and then basic trig to find an angle. I did this over two lessons. Finding the side was one lesson, finding the angle the next lesson
