The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

Probability

5 Resources
These three presentations cover lessons from the basics of probability of one event up to the probability of more than one event represented on tree diagrams or on a sample space.
Introduction to Algebra

Introduction to Algebra

(0)
This power point presentation is an introduction to Algebra. By the end of the one or two lessons students should have gained a basic understanding for the use of letters and be able to collect together like terms. The structure of the lesson allows the teacher to discuss answers and write them down as the power point in flow.
Area of a sector and Arc length

Area of a sector and Arc length

(0)
These two PowerPoints are designed for students at GCSE level. Through worked examples students learn how to work out the area of a sector or the length of an arc. The lessons are accompanied with two worksheets one for each lesson. Answers are included.
Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

(0)
These two PowerPoint presentations teach students how we find the area of a triangle and a trapezium. Now that students must learn the formula for the area of a trapezium I have shown how the formula is created through the knowledge of the area of a triangle. Through worked examples students learn how to apply these formulae.

A Dozen GCSE Maths Questions worksheets 5 & 6

(1)
Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the higher level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.
Drawing straight line graphs

Drawing straight line graphs

(0)
This lesson shows students how to work out the y coordinates for given x coordinates. Then the results are placed onto a given xy axis and the line drawn. The lesson is accompanied with a worksheet for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Area of a circle

Area of a circle

(0)
A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.
Velocity-Time graphs

Velocity-Time graphs

(0)
This power point has a series of worked examples to demonstrate how students can find the distance traveled or the acceleration of an object by means of finding the (approximate) area under the curve or the gradient of the tangent drawn to the curve.
Solving Simple Equations

A series of worksheets involving solving equations. Designed for students meeting Algebra in the early stages.
Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

(1)
This lesson is used to develop an understanding of the transformations of graphs when given in the format y = f(x). This lesson concentrates on the stretches of curves including reflections. Initially the examples are to develop their understanding. Whereas the further examples are for students to follow the rules developed. The lesson ends with a slide which can be printed for students to attempt on their own.
Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

(1)
This lesson consists of a series of examples which demonstrate how a unit square can be used to determine which transformation a given 2x2 matrix represents. Also the unit square can be used to create a 2x2 matrix. The lesson concludes with a set of questions for the students to answer. I tend to use this lesson when teaching the Further Mathematics GCSE.
Integration by Parts
sjcoopersjcooper

Integration by Parts

(0)
This PowerPoint is a lesson on integration by parts. I first demonstrate how the formula is a rearrangement of the product rule. I show the formula also in words as I find that students generally find this the easiest way to remember it. The lesson contains a number of worked examples for students to follow.
Multiplication of Decimals
sjcoopersjcooper

Multiplication of Decimals

(0)
This PowerPoint demonstrates through a series of worked examples how we can multiply a given decimal by a given integer.
Angle Properties

Angle Properties

5 Resources
This series of lessons teaches students how to answer questions involving 1. Angles on a straight line 2. Angles at a point. 3. Vertically opposite angles. 4. Corresponding angles & Alternate angles 5. Angles in a triangle & quadrilaterals
Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction

(1)
This lessons introduces the younger students to the first three laws of indices. Through worked examples students develop their understanding of the quick methods used. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework. I used this lesson with a very low ability year 8 class this week and it worked really well.

Finding the equation of a straight line revision.
sjcoopersjcooper

Finding the equation of a straight line revision.

(2)
This revision lesson is aimed at higher level students and looks at finding the equation of a straight line and also finding the equations of lines perpendicular to other lines. The lesson consists of both worked examples and questions for the students to answer. The lesson should last approximately one hour. However the extras could take that up to many hours!
