Drawing and naming straight lines in the form y = mx + c!

(5)
Everyone knows that when it comes to teaching straight line graphs there is so much more preparation that needs to be done! But hopefully this helps some people out.. Here is a ready to go lesson on how to draw and name straight lines in the form of y=mx+c! I used this particular lesson with a middle set year 10 as more of a recap, but I have also used the same activities with KS3. It has a full powerpoint with animated instructions on what to do, but also includes, 2 to a page worksheets, with axes already drawn on, for drawing and naming the lines. All you have to do is print! If you like my lessons or think I could do more to make them better, please comment and rate =]!

(4)
Hi Lessons on how to find and prove shapes are similar, with their areas and volumes! And how to find missing lengths, areas and volumes. I used these lessons with a middle ability year 10 class, but can be mixed about for any ability or age. All lessons include: 5 a day starter, differentiated questions WITH answers, animated, simple examples, plenary Lesson 1: Similar shapes. Explains the definition of similar shapes and how to prove they are similar by finding all angles and sides are the same. Examples of how to find an use scale factor to prove this. Independent questions for students to work on with an exam style question for extension work. I have also included some extra slides I did not get round to using on how to use ratio to find missing sides and name the shape game to finish off the lesson. Lesson 2: Finding area of similar shapes. Clear, simple, animated examples on how to use linear scale factor to find area scale factor and therefore missing areas of similar shapes. Worksheet included for students to work on individually, as well as questions which can be displayed on the board. Lesson 3: Finding volume of similar shapes. Extension from last lesson, using the linear scale factor to find the scale factor used for volume of similar shapes. Clear, simple, animated examples with worksheets for students to complete, as well as questions which can be displayed on the board. Includes extension on working backwards to find the linear scale factors from area and volume scale factor, and extra extension activities which I did not get round to using myself. Hope some of you find this helpful and it saves you some time and stress! If you like my resources or think there is something more I can do to make them better, please comment and rate!

Lesson 3: Solving equations with brackets! Introduction into how to solve equations with brackets and challenges with brackets in equations with unknowns on both sides. Lesson 4: Expand and simplify when solving equations! 5 a day starter. Having two sets of brackets on one side and having to expand and simplify to solve as a two step equation. Lesson 5: Solving equations with fractions! Add on to previous knowledge of everything we know on solving equations, but with advanced fractions, up to grade A work. Added tarsia which can be printed from PowerPoint. Lesson 6: Set up and solve! Gone through algebraic terminology. Examples and questions of worded and shape questions where the equation must be set up before solved to find the unknown, then substituted back into the equation to find a missing side, angle etc. Hope that this set of lessons comes in useful for you!
