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.

Introduction to differentiation
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to differentiation

(0)
This lesson introduces students to differentiation by first principles. I have always insisted that students use this as a first stepping stone to differentiation before using the rule.
Velocity-Time graphs
sjcoopersjcooper

Velocity-Time graphs

(0)
This power point has a series of worked examples to demonstrate how students can find the distance traveled or the acceleration of an object by means of finding the (approximate) area under the curve or the gradient of the tangent drawn to the curve.
Introduction to Logarithms

This lesson introduces students to the exponential function and its link with logs. There are a series of worked examples.
Introduction to Matrices
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Matrices

(0)
Power point lesson with worked examples demonstrates to students how we add/subtract matrices. How to multiply matrices together and then several questions for the students to answer. The lesson is aimed at those students covering the Further Maths GCSE
Laws of Logs
sjcoopersjcooper

Laws of Logs

This lesson teaches students what is meant by a tangent and normal to a curve. The lesson then works through some examples finding the equation of a given tangent or a given normal.
Introduction to Projectiles
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Projectiles

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to projectiles. It is assumed that students are already familiar with the standard formulae used in kinematics when a body moves in one direction. I always start this lesson by throwing the board pen horizontally and students witness that it moves in two directions. We discuss the acceleration acting on the body and hence the first example is on this basis. I follow that up with some more worked examples before giving them a standard diagram for projectiles.
Stationary Points
sjcoopersjcooper

Stationary Points

(0)
This lesson is an introductory lesson into finding stationary points for a quadratic or cubic. This lesson looks at finding the nature of the stationary points by change of gradient. The lesson concludes with a couple of slides with questions for the students to answer.
