I made this for a set 2 Year 11 group taking the higher GCSE. The worksheets are aimed to guide them towards their own conclusions of the effect of y=AcosBx and y=AsinBx on the amplitude and period of the graphs of sin and cos.

The activity is a consolidation of percentage increase and decrease. Each 'shop&' is located in a different section of the room. Pupils must visit each one and decide whether a percentage increase or decrease is needed on the items, and then work these out using the attached worksheet. The worksheet is designed to encourage pupils to work without calculators until the bank and bills section, which should be left until last (or used as an extension). I had calculators available at these stations, but some were confident enough by then to do without.

This is a powerpoint explaining some of the applications of trigonometry to answer that age old question 'But Miss, why would we need to know this?&' Content taken from http://www.mathworksheetscenter.com/mathtips/trigonometry.html

This starts with a look at an application of Area of a Sector and Arc Length and uses discussion to discover the formula for each. It then goes onto a discovery of the link between a cone and a sector, before applying the surface area and volume of a cone formula.

Made this for a Year 8 set 3 of 4 L4/5.

<p>An independent exploration for students to investigate the shape and properties of quadratics, cubics and reciprocal functions, as well as a recap section for linear equations.</p> <p>The explorations looks at:</p> <ul> <li>Plotting points to discover the shape of a quadratic</li> <li>Quadratics: shape, roots, solving equations using graphs, minimum/maximum, line of symmetry.</li> <li>Cubics: shape, turning points, solving equations using graphs</li> <li>Reciprocals: shape, asymptotes (brief)</li> </ul> <p>I made this for my Year 9 class to complete during remote learning. I have also attached the worksheets I plan to use afterwards. I will then use this Desmos resource to encourage the use of their new quadratics vocabulary <a href="https://teacher.desmos.com/polygraph-parabolas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://teacher.desmos.com/polygraph-parabolas</a></p> <p>I must credit :</p> <ul> <li>mrsmorgan1 whose desmos activity I shamelessly used as a starting point for my exploration and whose section on Linear Graphs Review remains unchanged in my resource.</li> <li>Piximaths and alexwoodforth1 whose resources I combined to form my first worksheet.</li> </ul>
