Frequency polygons and Histograms

Frequency polygons and Histograms

(1)
These two lessons and two worksheets I have used to introduce the basic knowledge of a histogram and then use this knowledge to draw a frequency polygon. The histogram powerpoint and worksheet leaves the class widths at equal intervals. The frequency polygon powerpoint is then taught the next lesson to show students that it is quicker to draw a frequency polygon (and use it for comparisons) rather than a histogram. The worksheets can be used in class or given as a piece of homework.
Paper 2 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher
sjcoopersjcooper

Paper 2 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at calculator for foundation and higher. These papers can not be obtained by students on the internet. Hence are ideal for end of term (or year) assessments. Solutions are included.
Probability Tree revision lesson
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree revision lesson

(1)
This revision is pitched mainly at foundation students, however it is also ideal for higher level students. Through worked examples the students revise the fact of multiplying "branches" together in order to obtain an outcome for two event. Further examples look at when there are more than two possible outcomes which would imply we add the solutions together. Nicely broken up for a student who is probably struggling with the grade 5 work. There are also several questions for the students to attempt in-between the examples. Answers are provided.

Perpendicular Lines

(1)
This lesson is used to introduce students to perpendicular lines. Finding the gradient of a perpendicular line and the equation of such lines. The lesson is followed with a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
Area of a circle

Area of a circle

(5)
This worksheet can be used by students who have just been taught how to find the area of a circle. I have a PowerPoint which I use over two lessons which firstly encourages them to find the formula for the area of a circle. Then collectively we write down a better formula with some verbal history thrown in, before attempting some examples at the board. This PowerPoint is available to purchase. On completing the PowerPoint students can then demonstrate their new skills with this worksheet. The answers to this worksheet are included with the PowerPoint.
Error bounds for continuous or Discrete data

Error bounds for continuous or Discrete data

(3)
These two lessons consists of worked examples on error bounds for discrete or continuous data. After each lesson there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Best Buys Revision

Best Buys Revision

(2)
With my year 11 foundation group struggling with recent Best Buy questions I put these two slides together for further practice. I worked through the first example and then they attempted the following questions before we checked answers together. It is only a short piece but follows the same pattern as most of my other revision lessons. However the other revision lessons tend to last the length of a lesson.
Conditional Probability
sjcoopersjcooper

Conditional Probability

(2)
This lesson is aimed at the higher level student. It is designed to be taught after the tree diagram lesson. Probably late into year 10 or early year 11. The worked examples demonstrate how the tree diagram can be used to answer some questions, but also demonstrates another quicker method of dealing with repeated events.
GCSE Revision: Circle problems
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Revision: Circle problems

(1)
This lesson and worksheet looks at three types of questions I have seen involving the equation of a circle. The worksheet comes with the answers. The examples are not worked through. It is something I’ve just put together during a snow day! Worked examples will be added at a later date.
Inverse Proportion
sjcoopersjcooper

Inverse Proportion

(1)
This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which an Inverse proportion question could be worded. Then through a series of worked examples, students learn how to answer questions involving direct proportion. The lesson contains a worksheet and answers which can be completed in class or set as a piece of homework.
Vectors Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Vectors Introduction

(1)
These two lessons are my first two lessons introducing students to a vector. The definition of a vector quantity and knowledge of position vectors, column vector, magnitude of a vector and collinear points. Also through a variety of examples students learn how vectors are used.

Right Angled Trigonometry Workbook

(1)
This workbook can be used with the Power point set. It introduces students to labeling up a triangle. Investigate the Sine ratio, Cosine ratio and Tangent ratio. The booklet has a variety of worksheets for each of these individually before mixing it up a little. The booklet then concludes with students having questions where they have to find the labeled angle. The booklet can be printed as an A5 booklet, which I find is easily placed in their books.
The Cosine Rule
