Summing an arithmetic series

(3)
Practice in using the two formulae related to arithmetic series - values of three variables are given and the other two have to be calculated by substitution into the appropriate formula. If printed two sheets to a page, will produce four student copies per A4 sheet.

Algebraic surface area and volume - three bracket expansions

(1)
Two 3-d shapes with lengths given algebraically. Challenge is to find surface area and volume for each shape in terms of x. Requires bracket expansions of two and three bracket expressions and significant simplification of expressions. Created for top set year 9 as classwork. Worked solutions on separate slides.

Equations of parallel and perpendicular lines

(1)
Complete the table by rearranging the equations into y=mx+c form. Then establish which pairs of lines are parallel and perpendicular. Finally, complete the last two rows by entering equations of two new lines parallel to the suggested lines.

Scale models - Olympic Stadium / James Bond car

(0)
Activity for pupils to consider and calculate the length, area and volume dimensions of scale models of the Olympic Stadium and James Bond's Aston Martin Db5. Should emphasise difference between length, area and volume scale factors.
