Lesson on Maths skills needed for the new Combined Science GCSE (9-1) with a focus on Biology content, although many of the skills are needed across all three Sciences.
The lesson is intended to be a circus activity with all of the topics around the room (information sheet and exam question sheet for each that I printed back to back) for students to move around between and then mark at the end of the lesson. It could easily be done as a teacher lead lesson as well though and even slotted into other lessons as needed.
The maths skills included are:
Comparing Data
Analysing Graphs
Drawing Tables
Calculating the Mean
Mode & Median
Calculating Percentages
Calculating Percentage Changes
Percentile Charts
Converting Units
Standard Form
Ratios & Fractions
Variation
Magnification Equation
Cardiac Output Equation
BMI Equation
Estimating Population Size Equation
There is an information sheet and exam question sheet for each, as well as answers to all the questions.
