This lessons introduces the younger students to the first three laws of indices. Through worked examples students develop their understanding of the quick methods used. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework. I used this lesson with a very low ability year 8 class this week and it worked really well.

This is a lesson I usually use for year 7 or low ability classes in year 8 or 9. The aim of the lesson is to demonstrate how we change the symbols when working backwards. I teach this lesson before I move onto the solving of simple equations. After the worked examples there is a worksheet which students can complete in class or as a piece of homework.

Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the higher level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.

This revision lesson looks at revising with students the understanding that area under a curve represents distance travelled and the gradient of a tangent represents acceleration when looking at a velocity time graph. The revision lessons is a mixture of worked examples and questions for the students to attempt before reviewing at the board.

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.

This worksheet can be used by students who have just been taught how to find the area of a circle. I have a PowerPoint which I use over two lessons which firstly encourages them to find the formula for the area of a circle. Then collectively we write down a better formula with some verbal history thrown in, before attempting some examples at the board. This PowerPoint is available to purchase. On completing the PowerPoint students can then demonstrate their new skills with this worksheet. The answers to this worksheet are included with the PowerPoint.

These two lessons consists of worked examples on error bounds for discrete or continuous data. After each lesson there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.

With my year 11 foundation group struggling with recent Best Buy questions I put these two slides together for further practice. I worked through the first example and then they attempted the following questions before we checked answers together. It is only a short piece but follows the same pattern as most of my other revision lessons. However the other revision lessons tend to last the length of a lesson.

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.

This lesson and worksheet looks at three types of questions I have seen involving the equation of a circle. The worksheet comes with the answers. The examples are not worked through. It is something I’ve just put together during a snow day! Worked examples will be added at a later date.

This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which an Inverse proportion question could be worded. Then through a series of worked examples, students learn how to answer questions involving direct proportion. The lesson contains a worksheet and answers which can be completed in class or set as a piece of homework.

Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the higher level new GCSE specification in Mathematics. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.

These two lessons are used with younger students to introduce Enlargements. The first lesson looks at enlarging shapes with the use of ray lines and compasses. The second lesson looks at the type often seen in the GCSE examination where the enlargement takes place on a set of xy axes.

This lesson is a lesson of two halves. The powerpoint consists of worked examples. The first part of the lesson demonstrates how we remove a bracket. The second half of the lesson introducing students to factorisation by means of a common factor. The resource also contains a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.

This serious of revision slides has been produced for my students revising for their recent assessments. It can be used with Key stage 2 students, Key stage 3 students and Key stage 4 students studying Foundation at GCSE. The topics covered are Percentages with and without a calculator Fractions with and without a calculator Ratio cancelling down Dividing into a given ratio Algebraic expressions and simplifying Solving simple equations Angles properties. Probability of a single event Area of a rectangle, triangle & Trapezium

These two lessons are my first two lessons introducing students to a vector. The definition of a vector quantity and knowledge of position vectors, column vector, magnitude of a vector and collinear points. Also through a variety of examples students learn how vectors are used.

This lesson I teach to student in key stage 3 who have never met the definition of the mode or median before. The lesson is accompanied with a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.

A lesson demonstrating how to complete the necessary rotations, whether on a grid or involving the xy axis. This lesson also contains a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.
