GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

(0)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!
Introduction to solving equations

Introduction to Standard Form

(0)
Lesson introduces students to standard form. Examples demonstrate how to express a number in standard form or as an ordinary number. Lesson ends with a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)
sjcoopersjcooper

Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)

(0)
This short series of examples demonstrates how we can use the coverup rule to quickly place a given algebraic fraction into partial fractions. The examples also includes areas where partial fractions is useful.
Completing the Square & Quadratic Formula
sjcoopersjcooper

Completing the Square & Quadratic Formula

(0)
These two lessons cover the topics of completing the square and using the quadratic formula solving quadratics. The worked examples also include a proof of the quadratic formula through completing the square. After a series of worked examples there are questions for the students to complete.
Circumference of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

Circumference of a circle

(0)
Lesson introduces students again to pi (as with the area resource). However this time students are able to work out the formula for the Circumference of a circle if they have already used my resource for the Area of a circle. The lesson has a variety of examples to be answered at the board and ends with a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
The Cosine Rule
sjcoopersjcooper

The Cosine Rule

(0)
Lesson introduces students to the Cosine Rule formula which can be used for a variety of triangles. The lesson then has a series of worked examples before ending with a a number of questions for students to complete.
Pythagoras Theorem Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Pythagoras Theorem Introduction

(0)
This is a power point presentation which introduces students to the knowledge of Pythagoras' Theorem. It includes many worked examples. I usually teach this over two lessons.
Probability Sample Space
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Sample Space

(0)
A power point presentation covering examples of two event represented in a sample space diagram. Including how to use the diagrams to find the probabilities of two events occurring.
Area of a Triangle and Trapezium
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Area & Perimeter
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter

(0)
This work book consists of worksheets which are used with the lessons on Area of a rectangle Perimeter of a rectangle Area of a triangle Area of a circle Circumference Area of a Sector Arc Length
Equivalent Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Equivalent Fractions

(0)
This lesson is intended for younger students, when first meeting the notion of equivalent fractions. The powerpoint consists of examples where shapes have the same amount shaded areas but divided into different amounts. Hence students can see equivalent fractions as being "the same" or better still equal through area shaded. The lesson also contains a worksheet with answers to backup the lesson.
Area of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
The Parabola
sjcoopersjcooper

The Parabola

(0)
This lesson looks at the Parabola from a Geometric point of view. Sketching the curve from knowing the vertex and key coordinates. The examples also involve some algebraic operations involved with the parabola.
Stationary Points
sjcoopersjcooper

Stationary Points

(0)
This lesson is an introductory lesson into finding stationary points for a quadratic or cubic. This lesson looks at finding the nature of the stationary points by change of gradient. The lesson concludes with a couple of slides with questions for the students to answer.
Solving Equations (more complicated)
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Equations (more complicated)

(0)
This lesson has a series of worked examples showing students how to solve more complicated linear equations and also quadratics. The lesson has been used in the past for year 12 students in September. However it can also be used for the more complicated questions required in year 11 work.
