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
Simultaneous equations and Venn diagrams
richardtockrichardtock

Simultaneous equations and Venn diagrams

(0)
Designed to be used as a starter to get students to understand what a system of equations IS. Place in the Venn diagram pairs of coordinates that fit each section. Hopefully the pupils think it takes ages by trail and improvement. Then you say “Well, I have a method for solving these much more easily” You introduce the substitution or elimination method and they all look on, enraptured by the mathematical knowledge you’re imparting and the ‘short cut’ to doing these questions you’re showing them. No answers are provided as there is a infinite set of answers either side of the intersection.
Half or two?

Half or two?

(0)
Really simple little starter on something that I picked up on with my class : deciding when a result is two or when it is a half
Multiplying Decimals
richardtockrichardtock

Multiplying Decimals

(0)
Simple PowerPoint Multiplying decimals both from scratch and using previous facts. Ie 43 x 56 = 2408, what is 4.3 x 5.6? Includes example problem pairs and two exercises. Everything you need to teach this topic.
Simplifying Surds

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.
Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent Fractions

(0)
Talks about equivalency before moving onto simplifying Example problem pairs, exercises for both. The PDF here is just a print out of the questions from the PowerPoint
Changing the Subject [No factorisation]
richardtockrichardtock

Changing the Subject [No factorisation]

(0)
Loads of stuff here. (But no rearranging that requires factorisation) Example problem pairs. At least 5 different activities. A discussion about what it means for something to be the subject of an equation. An activity just asking pupils if the first step is correct (I think this is quite important). Some mini whiteboard work. A stardard exercise. An activity where they have to rearrange scientific formulas (is SMSC still a thing?)
Surd Addition
richardtockrichardtock

Surd Addition

(0)
A really quick example problem pair and activity. Not a whole lesson. Just wanted to be more explicit about teaching addition of surds, rather than having it as an after thought when I multiplied them.
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.
Tables of values
richardtockrichardtock

Tables of values

(0)
Really quick PowerPoint with two activities. I wrote this to introduce tables of values separately from straight line graphs, as I found some students got really muddled when jumping too quickly into this topic.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
richardtockrichardtock

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

(0)
CHANGELOG 4/10/21 Fixed some formatting errors Simple stuff. Example problem pairs, so exercises. I’m sure there’s loads more interesting things you can do here. I used some extra stuff I found on resourceaholic for some practice. Probably at least 3/4 lessons in these slides.
Trigonometry
richardtockrichardtock

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.
ChristMATHS 2021

ChristMATHS 2021

(0)
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
richardtockrichardtock

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.
Column addition and subtraction
richardtockrichardtock

Column addition and subtraction

(0)
Lots and lots of stuff on Column addition and subtraction along with talk about efficient calculations like shifts, using the correct language talk about association and commutativity. Some example problem pairs, loads of exercises with answers and some plenaries. Enough for 2/3 lessons here.
