Completing the square and circle centre the origin

(1)
This lesson I teach students sometime after completing the square introduction and before the equation of circle centre (a,b) The start of the lesson looks at revision of completing the square and some uses to it. The latter part of the lesson looks at the circle centre (0,0) and several aspects which will become useful in time. The lesson concludes with some questions for the students to answer.

GCSE Foundation Mathematics revision game 2

GCSE Foundation Mathematics revision game 2

(1)
GCSE Foundation Mathematics run around game 2 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. For this run around calculators are placed on the table for questions 5 to 8, table for questions 13 to 16 and table for questions 21 to 24. 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!
