My year 7 class struggled to learn the rules for doing calculations that involved negative numbers so I created these resources to try to help them understand the rules and to give them lots of practice. The first resource focuses on addition and subtraction, with explanations of how the calculations can be understood with reference to a number line, and then exercises with lots of practice (over 150 questions). The second resource focuses on multiplication and division, with a page dedicated to them just practising determining whether the answer of a calculation should be positive or negative, and then an exercise with lots of practice calculations (over 80 questions). The third resource contains mixed questions with all 4 operations (over 60 questions). Answers to all the questions are included. The final resource is a spreadsheet where pupils can practise calculations and get instant feedback on their accuracy. Note that the spreadsheet contains macros so when opening the file users may need to click on “Enable editing” or “Enable macros” for it to function correctly.

This resource was designed to help students learn how graphs with logarithmic scales are connected to models of the form y=ab^x and y=ax^n. The first section focuses on models of the form y=ab^x. There are examples to work through as a class, with axes provided, to establish that if y=ab^x then there is a linear relationship between log(y) and x. There is then a page of examples to practice changing from y=ab^x into the linear equation, and vice versa. The examples conclude with 2 questions where students are given experimental data and required to use a graph to estimate the values of a and b in the model y=ab^x - which is typical of an examination-style question. There is then an exercise with 11 questions for students to complete on their own (again, all axes are provided). The second section focuses on models of the form y=ax^n. There are examples to work through as a class, with axes provided, to establish that if y=ax^n then there is a linear relationship between log(y) and log(x). There is then a page of examples to practice changing from y=ax^n into the linear equation, and vice versa. The examples conclude with 2 questions where students are given experimental data and required to use a graph to estimate the values of a and n in the model y=ax^n - which is typical of an examination-style question. There is then an exercise with 11 questions for students to complete on their own (again, all axes are provided). Answers to all questions in the exercises are included.

This resource is designed to introduce the key properties of exponential and logarithmic graphs that students need to understand for the topic of exponential models. Explaining the key properties of exponential graphs to students who haven’t learned chain rule is tricky so this printable/projectable resource may be a good way to help improve your students’ understanding and save you time as it has examples and exercises already prepared. It begins with learning the shape of exponential graphs by plotting points, drawing the curves and then summarising the properties of each graph (first y=a^x and then y=a x b^x). There is then a short exercise (23 questions) where they practice sketching exponential graphs and determining the equation of a given graph. The next section involves sketching the gradient function for different types of graph (linear, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal) and this work leads towards the idea that the gradient function of an exponential graph is itself exponential. To build on this the students are then given the result for the gradient of y=a^x. The exercise that follows allows them to establish by themselves that for dy/dx=y we require that a = e. Students can then prove (without use of chain rule) that the gradient of y=e^(kx) is y=ke^(kx), a key property of exponential models. There are then some examples and an exercise for students to practise using this result. The final section gets students to plot the graph of y=ln(x) and summarise its properties. Some examples and an exercise of questions connected the graph of y=ln(x) then follow. Answers to all the exercises are included.

This 19-page resource covers all the required knowledge and techniques for using the Newton Raphson method to find roots of an equation, as required for the new A level. In each section it contains notes, explanations and examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included). Also included is multiple-choice assessment that can be used as a plenary or brief homework. The sections/topics are: 1.Introduction to the method (a) the iterative formula and a graphical interpretation of the process (b) using the method to find successive approximations or an estimate of a root © different ways in which the formula may be written © illustrating the method on a diagram 2.Conditions where the Newton Raphson method fails (a) what happens if an approximation occurs at a stationary point of f(x) (b) situations where successive approximations converge to a different root © situations where successive approximations do not converge to a root (d) what happens if an approximation is outside the domain of f(x) This projectable and printable resource will save you having to create or write out any notes/examples when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given spaces provided for solutions. The exercises contains 35 questions for your students to complete. Answers to all exercises are included.

These resources will give your class plenty of practice of using the factor theorem and the common questions that follow finding a factor of a cubic polynomial. The first resource focuses on showing that (ax+b) is a factor of f(x) and then using it to write f(x) as a product of a linear and quadratic factor. There is an example to work through as a group and then an exercise with 14 questions - answers are provided. The second resource has 2 sections. The first section focuses on factorising cubics fully, either as a product of a linear and quadratic factor, or as a product of 3 linear factors. The second section focuses on solving f(x)=0 and, in later questions, relates the solutions to the graph of f(x). In total there are 26 questions - answers are provided.

These resources are a good way to quickly cover/revise the whole topic of linear equations. The first resource begins with a few notes on what forms linear equations can take and some of the steps or methods that may be required to solve them. There are some parts of the notes that need to be completed with your students, to practise the algebraic steps involved in solving linear equations. There are then several sections, each section focussing on a particular form of linear equation. There are a few examples to complete with your students as practice, then an exercise for students to complete on their own. There is also an exercise of mixed questions at the end. Answers to all the exercises are included. Section A - Solving x+a=b, x-a=b, a-x=b Section B - Solving ax=b Section C - Solving x/a=b and a/x=b Section D - Solving ax+b=c, ax-b=c, a-bx=c Section E - Solving x/a+b=c, x/a-b=c, a-x/b=c, a-b/x=c Section F - Solving (ax+b)/c=d, (ax-b)/c=d, (a-bx)/c=d Section G - Solving a(bx+c)=d, a(bx-c)=d, a(b-cx)=d Section H - Solving ax+b=cx+d, ax+b=c-dx Section I - Solving a(bx+c)=dx+e, a(bx+c)=d-ex Section J - Solving (ax+b)/c=dx+e, (ax-b)/c=dx+e, (a-bx)/c=d-ex Section K - Mixed exercise The second resource gives your students practice of solving linear equations using a graph.

Worked solutions are included.

This resource is a great way to cover this whole topic using prepared notes and examples to explain it to your students. Projecting the notes/examples will save you a lot of work on the board and your students will save time by working on the provided spaces and axes when doing sketches. You could also email/print some or all of this for students who have missed lessons or need additional notes/practice/revision. The sections cover the following: 1. Sketching graphs of the form y=mod(f(x)) e.g. y=mod(x-2) 2. Sketching simple transformations of y=mod(f(x)) e.g. y=mod(x)+4 3. Solving equations involving the modulus function. This covers the different types of equations and explains when a sketch may/must be used. e.g. mod(x-4)=6 vs 2x+3=mod(x-1) 4. Solving inequalities involving the modulus function. This covers the different types of inequalities and explains when a sketch may/must be used. e.g. mod(x-4)=mod(2x+1) vs 3x-1=4-mod(x) There are almost 100 questions in total across the different exercises. Answers to all questions in the exercises are provided, including sketches. Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/differentiation-and-integration-with-exponential-and-trigonometric-functions-new-a-level-11981186

This worksheet covers how to solve single and double-sided inequalities and includes representing the solution on a number line as well as considering examples where integer solutions are required. The introduction covers what the solution to a linear inequality should look like and, by means of a few examples, explores the similarities and differences between solving equations and inequalities. The first exercise (52 Qs) then gives students practice solving inequalties of the form ax+b>c, x/a+b The second section focuses on double-sided inequalities such as 3 The final section is designed to help students consider the integer solutions to an inequality. In the examples students need to find the smallest possible integer value of n if n>p, the largest possible integer value of n if n Answers to all the exercises are provided, including the solutions on number lines.

This 12 page resource covers the solution of 2nd order differential equations by finding the roots of its auxiliary equation, and its particular integral. The first section focuses on cases where the auxiliary equation has real roots (distinct or repeated). It begins by concentrating on finding only the complementary function - there are several examples to work through with your class and then an exercise with 14 questions for students to attempt. There are then a few examples that involve finding both the complementary function and the particular integral. The second section focuses on cases where the auxiliary equation has complex roots (a+/-bi or +/-bi). There are several examples to work through with your class and then an exercise with 18 questions for students to attempt. The exercise includes questions where students are required to consider the behaviour of the solution (bounded/unbounded oscillations) when x becomes large, as well as the function to which the solution approximates when x becomes large. Answers to both exercises are included.

These are two different tests I created to assess the whole of the statistics element of the new AS level. Each test contains 16/17 examination-style questions, based on exemplar questions, specimen papers, topic tests or textbook questions, The tests cover the following: Cumulative frequency diagrams Box and whisker diagrams Histograms Scatter diagrams and correlation Finding/estimating averages or measures of spread from grouped/ungrouped data or from summary statistics Probability (two-way tables, tree diagrams, venn diagrams, independent and mutually exclusive events) Probability density functions Binomial distribution Sampling methods Hypothesis testing Both tests come with fully-worked solutions. Having two different tests is useful if, like me, you have two different A level groups and want to set them different tests, or you could give out one as a practice test or revision and use the other for an actual test. Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/differentiation-and-integration-with-exponential-and-trigonometric-functions-new-a-level-11981186

This set of resources covers evaluating and simplifying expressions with powers. The first resource is 18 multiple choice questions on evaluating powers for students to attempt (I usually get my class to do this in pairs/small groups). The second resource is a worksheet with different sections that focus on evaluating with postive integer powers and 0, negative integer powers, then fractional powers. Each section contains examples to work through as a class and then an exercise for students to attempt. Answers are included. The third and fourth resource cover simplifying expressions, following the same format and the 1st and 2nd. The powerpoint contains slides that revise how to evaluate and simplify expressions with powers - useful as a plenary or as a refresher at the start of a lesson. The multiple choice questions cover both evaluating and simplifying - useful as a revision resource or a quick assessment. Solutions provided. The final resource is a set of questions to cover the whole powers topic, some of which are examination style questions. Answers are included.

It used to be quite easy to come up with examples to teach/practise trial and improvement, but using iteration is a very different beast and needs some carefully chosen and prepared questions. This worksheet contains a brief introduction/reminder about iterative formulae and their use in sequences, then has one example of using iteration to find a root of an equation, to work through as a class. The following exercise has 7 questions for students to attempt on their own. Answers are included.

This worksheet focuses on using the sum of angles in a quadrilateral to find missing angles. It assumes that students are already familiar with angles in triangles, on a straight line, vertically opposite angles, and angles in parallel lines. The first section covers different types of quadrilaterals and their properties. There is a short exercise where students practise choosing the correct type(s) of quadrilateral based on the information given. The second section begins with the result for the sum of angles in a quadrilateral. There are then some examples of finding angles - these are to be completed with your class. The exercise that follows is for students to attempt themselves. Answers to both exercises are included.

This worksheet will give your class a bit of practice of finding the reciprocal of different types of numbers.
