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.

Removal of Two brackets multiplied together

(0)
This lesson is an extension from the first lesson on removing a bracket with a common factor outside. The lesson starts with more complicated examples from the previous lesson, before moving onto the trinomial problems. The lesson also contains a worksheet with answers.
Multiplication of Number

Multiplication of Number

(0)
The worksheet can be used in class or as a piece of homework for student to demonstrate their ability to multiply two numbers together. Students could write on the sheet, however I often have them answer on paper or in their books.
Hyperbolic Functions

Hyperbolic Functions

(0)
This lesson introduces students to the understanding of Hyperbolic functions through a series of worked examples. Including the curves.
3D objects
sjcoopersjcooper

3D objects

(0)
Lessons which teach students the properties of Prisms, Pyramids and the Sphere. Including symmetry. This purchase also includes a worksheet for the students to complete.
GCSE Graded Resources

GCSE Graded Resources

(0)
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.

Drawing other standard graphs

(0)
This lesson is a follow on from the lessons involving drawing the quadratic curve. The lesson consists of a couple of worked examples on drawing standard curves, followed by information about some standard graphs and their shape. The lesson also has an worksheet for students to tackle in class or as a piece of homework.
Transformations Reflections

Transformations Reflections

(2)
A lesson teaching students how to reflect in a given mirror line, including work on the xy axis. Lesson also contains a worksheet for students to work through in class or as a piece of homework.
Right Angled Trigonometry
sjcoopersjcooper

Right Angled Trigonometry

(1)
Following on from the lessons which introduce trigonometry to students. These two lessons consist of worked examples using the three trig ratios developed in either year 9 or 8. The introduction lessons are in my shop. I have used this lesson with year 10, having already introduced trigonometry to these students in year 9.
Conditional Probability
sjcoopersjcooper

Conditional Probability

(2)
This lesson is aimed at the higher level student. It is designed to be taught after the tree diagram lesson. Probably late into year 10 or early year 11. The worked examples demonstrate how the tree diagram can be used to answer some questions, but also demonstrates another quicker method of dealing with repeated events.
Multiplying Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Multiplying Fractions

(0)
This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to multiply fractions. This lesson is taught once I have covered addition and subtraction of fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students are given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.
Inverse functions
sjcoopersjcooper

Inverse functions

(0)
Lesson and worksheet. The lesson consists of worked examples on how we find the inverse of a function. This lesson continues from the lesson on composite functions. The worksheet allows students to work through a number of questions to show their understanding of inverse functions.
Cubics: Expanding and factorising

Cubics: Expanding and factorising

(0)
With factorising and removing brackets of cubics being new to the GCSE specifications last year I have introduced these two lesson to my class teaching. Starting with removal of brackets students are able to extend from the two brackets situation to the three brackets. The following lesson looks at the more complicated factorising a cubic. Initially starting with the first factor given style of question before looking at factorising with no hint given. Worksheets are given for both lessons which could be used in class or as a piece of homework.
Circumference of a cirle
sjcoopersjcooper

Circumference of a cirle

(0)
Lesson introduces students again to pi (as with the area resource). However this time students are able to work out the formula for the Circumference of a circle if they have already used my resource for the Area of a circle. The lesson has a variety of examples to be answered at the board and ends with a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Calculating the mean from a frequency table
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
GCSE revision lessons

GCSE revision lessons

Here is a small group of revision lessons I have recently used for my year 11 students. These have been written with them in mind and cover the types of questions they were struggling with. Generally I tend to go through one or two at the board before they attempt the others. Revision lessons included are Probability tree diagrams Distance speed time Ingredient questions Flow diagrams and some general “wordy” questions that can be troubling for many students.
Angles on a straight line
sjcoopersjcooper

Angles on a straight line

(1)
This lesson and worksheet teaches students, through worked examples, how to work out missing angles on a straight line by calculation. This Powerpoint is used for students who struggle with Mathematics or as an introduction for younger students. The worksheet also has an answer sheet provided. I have updated the background of the slides to be more user friendly for students with dyslexia. Many more lessons available in the shop https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/sjcooper
