The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

Area & Perimeter of a rectangle

(0)
These two lessons I usually teach to year 7 students. However it could be taught at primary of even higher than year 7, if students struggle with area and perimeter. The powerPoints consist of worked examples demonstrating how we find the area of a rectangle or perimeter.
Introduction to Algebra

Introduction to Algebra

(0)
This power point presentation is an introduction to Algebra. By the end of the one or two lessons students should have gained a basic understanding for the use of letters and be able to collect together like terms. The structure of the lesson allows the teacher to discuss answers and write them down as the power point in flow.
Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

(0)
These two PowerPoint presentations teach students how we find the area of a triangle and a trapezium. Now that students must learn the formula for the area of a trapezium I have shown how the formula is created through the knowledge of the area of a triangle. Through worked examples students learn how to apply these formulae.
Subtracting Numbers

Subtracting Numbers

(0)
This lesson shows younger children how to subtract numbers when using the column method. Each example is worked through and students can see clearly each step. There are plenty of examples so that children can grasp the techniques involved. The latter examples involve an element of literacy to the question.
Area & Perimeter
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter

7 Resources
A collection of PowerPoints on Area of a rectangle, triangle, trapezium and Circle or part circle. The collection also looks at the Perimeter of a rectangle and the circumference of a circle or part circle. Finally there is a collection of worksheets for the above topics.
Ratio & Proportion

Ratio & Proportion

(0)
These 5 lessons introduce students to Ratio and proportion. Lesson 1: Simplifying a ratio and expressing a ratio as a fraction Lesson 2: Expressing as a ratio and simplifying Lesson 3: Dividing into a ratio using the totals in ratio Lesson 4: Dividing into a ratio using one of the given parts Lesson 5: Dividing into a ratio when using the difference between two ratios or the sum of some parts. Each lesson consists of a PowerPoint, printed examples (if preferred ) and a workbook (which I usually print as an A5 booklet). Solutions are given for the workbooks.

Suitable for both KS2 and KS3 students. Due to COVID the way we teach has altered somewhat. These days I find it easier to have my examples preprinted with students filling in the gaps between examples in class with the aid of the teacher at the front. A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Note: I tend to print the examples as A4 and the workbook as an A5 booklet. Lesson 1: Examples and workbook on Decimal place value. Lesson 2: Examples and workbook on Addition of decimals Lesson 3: Examples and workbook on Subtraction of decimals Lesson 4: Examples and workbook on Multiplication of decimals The examples are also available to buy as a PowerPoint lesson on the shop.
GCSE Graded Resources

GCSE Graded Resources

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and recent lock downs, I have designed a series of graded worksheets which can be used to identify gaps in students work throughout the grades. This first batch looks at the material which should cover most topics in the Foundation Tier, graded from 1 to 5. There are approximately 3 to 4 sheets for each grade (with answers). The idea is that a student is given a grade 1 sheet to complete. Once marked and reviewed, the class teacher can then identify class issues, individual student issues and revise accordingly. The a second grade 1 sheet can be given to see if there is improvement. This can be completed for a third and sometimes a forth time. The same approach is then given to grades 2, 3, 4 and 5. This can also be used to seek what worked in lock down with on line learning and what did not.

This set of exercises can either be used as a starter during the last two weeks of term or all together as a lesson piece. Designed with a Christmas feel, the task involves students either creating mathematical equations or using the process of elimination to find the numerical values attached to each of the Christmas pictures presented. The material is useful for either KS2 or KS3 students, however GCSE foundation students would also have fun with this material.

These GCSE Mathematics revision booklets are aimed at KS4 students who are independently revising for their GCSE. The front cover of each booklet can be scanned with a phone which will then upload a video to be watched. The student is then in a better position to attempt the material inside each booklet. Topics included are 3d Trig & pythagoras Algebraic Fractions Angles in a polygon Arc Length & Area of a sector Area under a curve Best Buys Calculating the mean Change of subject Circle theorems Completing the square Composite & Inverse functions Compound measures Cubics Cumultative frequency Density Mass Volume Direct & Inverse proportion Drawing graphs Equation of a line Error bounds Expanding & Factorising quadratics Forming equations Fractions HCF, LCM & Prime factors Histograms Inequalities Iterative formula Indices Perpendicular lines & Tangents Probability tree Quadratic sequences, formula & inequalities Ratio Recurring decimals Reverse percentages Trigonometry Simultaneous equations linear & quadratic Standard form Surds Transformations Volume

These days I find it easier to have my examples preprinted with students filling in the gaps between examples in class with the aid of the teacher at the front. A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Furthermore at home students can access a video example or two with the QR code on the front of the workbook (just in case they are struggling at home) Answers are provided and also answers to the examples
Calculating the mean from a frequency table

Calculating the mean from a frequency table

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean by using the "fx" column. The lesson starts with students asked to calculate the mean of a large set of data. Next by placing the data into a tally chart it is easy to show how much quicker it is to calculate the mean when presented in this format rather than a list of numbers.
