This lesson looks closer at the value b^2 - 4ac and the types of roots the outcome would suggest. The lesson then looks at more algebraic problems.
Spreadsheets to accompany the Three Mathematics papers

Spreadsheets to accompany the Three Mathematics papers

(1)
These two spreadsheets have been completed with the three uploaded papers in mind. There are instructions on how to use the spreadsheet. Once the papers have been marked the students individual scores are placed into the spreadsheet question by question. The teacher can then glance to see which topics are class issues and which topics are just problem areas for one or two. There is also the facility to print out an overview per student. Each individual question is RAG rated so that it is easy to identify incorrect answers, partially correct answers and full marks. As I said the spreadsheet is aimed at the three papers I have posted. However it can be modified for other papers used in class. Simply replacing the listed topics an max mark allocation allows the spreadsheet to be used for papers you create or use.

GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

(0)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision

This revision powerpoint looks at worked examples for the topics of Completing the square and solving quadratics inequalities. The second revision lesson looks at iterative formulae and quadratic sequences. The idea is that the member of staff works through 2 or 3 examples before the student attempts one question at a time. The review of the question then reinforces the students understanding of the topics.
