Some graphs Are they bad? Why are they bad? What could be improved? Updated 11/5/17

CHANGELOG 22/09/2021 - Corrected the second exercise Covers a few cases eg -Root 8 = 2 root 2 -2Root8 = 4Root2 -Simpifying with fractions and canceling a common term. A not huge. A starter. A little activity on what is a surd. A good amount of example/problem pairs. Two question sets. Some exam questions and five quick questions at the end. Included worksheet is merely a copy of what’s on the PowerPoint.

Talks about equivalency before moving onto simplifying Example problem pairs, exercises for both. The PDF here is just a print out of the questions from the PowerPoint

Loads of stuff here. (But no rearranging that requires factorisation) Example problem pairs. At least 5 different activities. A discussion about what it means for something to be the subject of an equation. An activity just asking pupils if the first step is correct (I think this is quite important). Some mini whiteboard work. A stardard exercise. An activity where they have to rearrange scientific formulas (is SMSC still a thing?)

A really quick example problem pair and activity. Not a whole lesson. Just wanted to be more explicit about teaching addition of surds, rather than having it as an after thought when I multiplied them.

Really quick PowerPoint with two activities. I wrote this to introduce tables of values separately from straight line graphs, as I found some students got really muddled when jumping too quickly into this topic.

It’s CHRISTTTTTMMMAAAAATHSSSS All you need to run a full lesson with a mathematical cristmaths quiz. Designed to be accessible to all. Starts with a bit of Shakin’ Stevens asking students to tally various things he sings and notice bits of the really creepy video : - ) Goes onto a bit of converting time, some Suduku stuff, some Chris moyles Maths quizes and a bit of spot the mathematician. Have fun and have a wonderful Christmas Richard

Covers the basics of differentiation. Designed for iGCSE but I will probably use this with my AS classes too. *A warm up *An interactive geogebra widget *An example problem pair *Some whiteboard work *An exercise *Another example problem pair covering things like 1/x and root x *Another exercise with some more difficult examples *A plenary with 5 quick questions.

CHANGELOG : Massively updated 23/09/2021 to clean up a lot of stuff and add a section on identifying how many significant figures are in a number. I also collated the activities into a worksheet. 20/9/22 : Changed the worked examples to avoid duplicate digits. Full lesson. Starts with a pattern spot (you could use mini whiteboards), moves on to some increasingly difficult problems, then a lovely pixel puzzle.

A little PowerPoint on division with whole number outcomes. A starter, example problem pair, an exercise, a problem solving bit and a plenary.

Simple PowerPoint. Starter Example/Problem Pair Some whiteboard work Two exercises (one probably needs printing, the worksheet is included in this pack) and a plenary Veers into decimals, but not too heavily. Enough to push, but also little enough to ignore if you’re not quite there yet.

Powerpoint covers everything. There’s a starter, some pattern spotting, an exercises for both multiplying and dividing (but no mixed exercise) and a plenary. Maybe there’s not enough drill practice here. But you can use mathsbot for that. Enough for two lessons I think. We don’t spend enough time on negatives.

Ungrouped. Starter Example problem pair Two sets of questions, one thinking about symmetry in the data Plenary Does not include using the average to find missing values in the table.

Starter Some example problem pairs Some whiteboard work and an exercise on plotting coordinates and making shapes. Then an exercise on translating coordinates (ie 1 right , 3 up from (8,7)) and an exercise on reading x and y values from coordinates. Then a plenary. About 2 lessons worth.

Simple little powerpoint A little prior knowledge starter, an example problem pair, some questions I wrote, some exam questions and a plenary.

Nothing ground breaking A starter An example problem pair Some whiteboard work An exercise A problem solving question Finishes with a plenary.

Some exercises. Some example problem pairs. Quite like the fill in the gaps exercise here.

ppt on collecting like terms. Includes: Discussion on what a like term is Some basic questions Questions about algebraic perimeter Questions on algebra pyramids A problem solving task involving an algebraic magic square Two learning checks.

Simple but comprehensive. Example problem pairs for discounts and increases in prices. 3 exercises for students to do. Worksheet included. Please comment and rate if you find this useful. I feed on the attention.

A subject that lots of my students have struggled with in the past. Includes an insane amount of whiteboard work to get students used to the concept. Also includes some GCSE questions and a bit around the parts of an equation.
