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.

Surface Area

(1)
This lesson looks at finding the surface area of shapes such as cuboids, square based pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres. The lesson also shows a proof for the surface area formula of a cone. However for this students to understand this proof it is essential that they have already met arc length and area of a sector. The lesson contains a number of worked examples.
Calculating the mean from a grouped Distribution

Calculating the mean from a grouped Distribution

(1)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate an estimate for the mean by using the "fx" column. This lesson is usually taught after the lesson which introduces students to the "fx" column.
Vertically Opposite angles

Vertically Opposite angles

(1)
This lesson and worksheet teaches students, through worked examples, how to work out missing angles when two straight lines cut each other. This Powerpoint can be used for students who struggle with Mathematics or as an introduction for younger students. The worksheet also has an answer sheet provided.
Introduction to Bearings

Introduction to Bearings

(1)
This lesson introduces students to Bearings. The lesson demonstrates how we measure a bearing through a series of examples. Followed by a number of examples where students will draw bearings. The last set of examples are more detailed with a set of instructions to follow in order to answer the question. The lessons are accompanied with two worksheets which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework.
Standard Form calculations without calculators

Logarithms & Exponentials worksheets

(1)
The worksheets here are to accompany the lessons on 1. an introduction to Logarithms 2. Laws of Logs 3. Exponentials In the past I have given them as classwork/homework. Answers included.
The understanding of f(x)
sjcoopersjcooper

The understanding of f(x)

(1)
This Powerpoint is used to introduce students to the expression f(x). Worked examples demonstrate how f(x) can be used algebraically. Solving equations or substituting x for other quantities.
Circle Theorem: Angle between a tangent and its radius
sjcoopersjcooper

Circle Theorem: Angle between a tangent and its radius

(1)
This lesson and worksheet looks at the knowledge of the angle knowledge between a tangent and its radius through worked examples. The lesson also consists of two worksheets covering this theorem. (Whilst also using some of the earlier theorems taught)
Equation of a circle centre (a, b)
sjcoopersjcooper

Equation of a circle centre (a, b)

(1)
This lesson teaches students the general format for the equation of a circle. This follows with a series of examples which either find the equation of a circle or uses the equation of a circle.
Rearranging Formulae Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Rearranging Formulae Revision

(1)
This lesson looks at rearranging formulae pitched at higher level. This lesson also includes the finding the inverse function of f(x) by rearrangement.
Geometric Mean and Index numbers
sjcoopersjcooper

Geometric Mean and Index numbers

(1)
This lesson was created to help students with the Edexcel level 3 examination. Students learn the formula for the geometric mean and look at some worked examples.
Introduction to Algebra
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Algebra

(1)
This power point presentation is an introduction to Algebra. By the end of the one or two lessons students should have gained a basic understanding for the use of letters and be able to collect together like terms. The structure of the lesson allows the teacher to discuss answers and write them down as the power point in flow.
Decimal Search
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal Search

(1)
A lesson showing students how to find the solution to an algebraic expression through decimal search. The lesson also includes two questions for students to attempt.
Differentiation by first principles
sjcoopersjcooper

Differentiation by first principles

(1)
This is a second lesson on this topic. This method approaches the topic using f(x) and f(x+h). The worksheet can be given to the students in the form “y = " or as " f(x) =”, depending on the exam board used.
Mathematics: Collection of like terms
sjcoopersjcooper

Mathematics: Collection of like terms

(0)
This is a short revision lesson I use with my low ability students at KS4. However it could be used with KS3 students. The aim is to quickly revise through a few examples and then for them to have ago at a few on the algebra topic collection of like terms.
Linear Sequences revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Linear Sequences revision

(0)
This lesson is aimed at Foundation students struggling to understand the Linear sequence questions found on the GCSE examination papers. Every revision slide consists of a couple of examples followed by a set of questions for the students to attempt. There are additional questions which can be printed out for the students and also the excel document allows you to generate as many questions as you like!
Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Tests
sjcoopersjcooper

Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Tests

(0)
The Grade 1 & 2 Tests are based on the type of questions that tend to appear at the beginning of examination papers at GCSE. You may disagree with my positioning of such topics, but I have created Tests papers for what I consider to be the other grades as well. The Grade 3 & 4 Tests are based on topics tested since 2017 and again you might think that one or two topics should be in the grade higher or lower. The aim of these tests is to first identify which topics are causing concern before fixing the issue and further tests are available to see if improvements have been made. Contents Five Grade 1 Tests Five Grade 2 Tests Two Grade 3 Tests. Two Grade 4 Tests. Two Grade 5 Tests.
