Solving Linear Equations homework or revision resource

(0)
This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to solve linear equations algebraically. The questions include solving simultaneous equations (both equations linear) and some applied contexts, where students are asked to model real life using algebraic terms and equations. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.

Bearings
silvestertimsilvestertim

Bearings

(0)
This is a series of 6 pages that can be printed as an A3 folded booklet for teaching students how to work out bearings. The first page provides a starter which revisits key angle facts based on parallel lines and a transversal, and based on angles on a straight line, at a point and in a triangle. The second page presents the key learning objectives and a section in which notes can be written. This is followed by a simple Task 1 of using bearings diagrams to work out the bearings of one point from another point using angle calculations, rather than scale drawing. Task 2 then requires students to draw diagrams first based on the information provided, and then to work out the required bearing. The lesson sits comfortable in an hour lesson with time for a plenary.
Vector Geometry and Analysis homework or revision resource
silvestertimsilvestertim

Vector Geometry and Analysis homework or revision resource

(0)
This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to understand vector geometry and vector analysis. Students are required to work with column vectors and vectors expressed using letter notation, to understand parallel and perpendicular vectors, to calculate lengths and angles between vectors, to express unit vectors, and to apply an understanding of vectors within a range of geometric contexts. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.

Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource
silvestertimsilvestertim

Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource

(2)
These worksheets are designed as general practice for the basic Grade 4 (core skills) and more advanced Grade 6 (extended skills) ability ranges. There is no 'Use and Application', and they are designed purely to get students to practise the broad range of methods and knowledge required to 'do' Mathematics. They are ordered in respect of Number, Algebra, Statistics and Geometry. The 8 pages are designed to be printed onto A3 folded sheets so that students have a write on resource with minimal printing required. The Mathematics 'Help Booklet' that I offer for free, and the 'Steps for Success' document, provide guidance to students to help with the completion of these papers. The back page of the 'Help Booklet' directly references each question of Core Skills into the booklet; for example, question 1b on the Algebra page is referenced to pages 21 and 26 respectively of the Help Booklet where structured models are available to show the process of factorising linear and quadratic expressions.
Mathematics Help Booklet
silvestertimsilvestertim

Mathematics Help Booklet

(0)
This booklet comprises 55 pages of information and support; each page focuses on a different Maths topic area and it provides the means for students to independently research when they need support. The majority of topics studied up to age 16 are included. They provide a summary of each chapter of the learning plans that I have also written for Number and Algebra, Statistics and Geometry.
Maths: 12 Foundation Number and Algebra assignments

Maths: 12 Foundation Number and Algebra assignments

(0)
This is a series of 12 Foundation homework or revision assignments. They are designed to be used in conjunction with my excel, 'Monitoring' document which allows for all results from the Statistics, Pure and Geometry series to be recorded. These foundation papers are aimed at low to middle ability students. The set can alternatively be purchased to include both Foundation and Higher (for middle to high ability students) versions. They are designed for the new GCSE specification in the UK, and would suit any students within the same age range in other countries. This first series focuses on Number and Algebra and are non-calculator papers. They are easy to mark and provide excellent feedback (the monitoring document allows for results in key topic areas to be analysed, as well as progression as students improve their knowledge and understanding. These assignments have led to sustained improvement of Mathematics results in the College in which the author teaches with students excelling at every ability range.

Mathematics Ages 11 to 14 worksheets

7 Resources
This bundle comprises the summary worksheets that we use to formatively assess our students aged 11 to 14 on the content of our Scheme of Learning for years 7 to 8. I have included a baseline assessment which has been written in a bespoke fashion in the style of the old SAT papers, aimed at 10 to 11 year olds.
22 Maths homework or revision papers for Ages 11 to 16 (over 150 pages)
silvestertimsilvestertim

22 Maths homework or revision papers for Ages 11 to 16 (over 150 pages)

(4)
This is a series of 22 homework assignments. Each page relates to the new GCSE specification grading structure (Page 6 is equivalent to Grade 6) with 15 marks available on each page and a style of questioning that allows for quick marking. For US users, the increasing complexity of the papers will ensure students can demonstrate what they already have learned while challenging themselves to advance their knowledge and understanding. The papers cover a broad range of topics and are designed to get students practising and extending themselves for examination preparation. They can be used successfully with any age, although younger students will naturally focus on the earlier pages of each assignment. The homework assignments are designed so that students can choose any four consecutive pages, or the teacher can designate which four consecutive pages the student should complete, hence targeting the ability of the student and always promoting the opportunity to challenge oneself. The monitoring document, therefore, allows for 4 consecutive page results to be input for each student, generating a percentage result and a ‘Page Progress’ result (which effectively determines the grade that the student achieves). These are easy to use, write on papers that have been used successfully to raise the attainment of Mathematics students at all ability levels at the College within which the author teaches.
