Decision Maths 1 Algorithms Videos

(1)
This sheet gives links to videos on all 14 of the algorithms that are required for the Edexcel Decision Maths 1 module. Each video gives a demonstration of an individual algorithm, and can be shared with students as a revision resource or used as part of a teaching lesson. Each video can obviously be paused whilst the students work out what is coming next, or rewound to hear an explanation again. The algorithms are: Full Bin, First Fit, First Fit Decreasing, Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Binary Search, Kruskal's, Prim's, Prim's - Matrix Method, Dijkstra's, Route Inspection, Maximum Matching, Finding Critical Paths and the Scheduling Procedure.

The Greek Alphabet - large

(0)
Upper and lower case forms for all letters of the Greek alphabet, with their names. I find this useful to have up in Maths classrooms, but obviously can be used for languages or any other suitable subject. This is scaled to fit with two letters per A4 page and is 12 pages in length.

Incorrect Mathematical Proofs Posters

(0)
This is a collection of three posters, each containing an incorrect conclusion from a seemingly correct proof. I have used them as good starter activities with classes to get them thinking about how they prove concepts and how to find errors. The proofs included show that 1=2, 3=0 and 1+2+3+4+…=-1/12.

This file is a collection of posters to be printed out and displayed in your room or around the Maths department. There are 32 posters, each being half an A4 sheet, with examples shown in the cover image photo. The posters cover a wide range of topics with suitable ideas for KS3, 4 and 5. There are numbers at the top of each poster, intended to encourage students to seek out others that they have not seen - we put 5 or so non-sequential posters in each teaching room.

Front Side Plan View activity, with answers

A simple activity where the student is presented with the front side and plan elevations of a block-based shape, which they must create. This has proved to be quite challenging for many students and some of the shapes are demanding for even the most able.

25 Challenging Maths Puzzles for KS3, 4 and 5

(0)
This document contains 25 different Maths puzzles, with answers, that provide good challenges to students of all levels. All are accessible to the weakest students, but challenging to even the highest performers. I regularly use them as fillers, homeworks and conversation starters.

Large Data Set Quiz - Edexcel A Level Maths

(0)
This is a quiz, split into three rounds, on the Large Data Set from Edexcel for the A Level Mathematics course. The 3 rounds are: • Round 1 = Locations. Questions ensure that students know which locations are covered by the large data set and where these locations are found. • Round 2 = Variables. Which variables are given for each of the different locations? • Round 3 = Units and Data Which units are used for each of the variables and some specific questions on some anomalies in the weather or data? The quiz is presented in a variety of formats to allow for different methods of delivery to a class: • Just The Questions Suitable for administering the quiz in a test format. One file has all rounds in it, and there are three separate files for individual rounds. • PowerPoints Two versions of each round have been provided. One where each question is given followed immediately by the answer, and one where all answers are saved until the end of the PowerPoint. • Answer Sheets These can be used alongside the PowerPoints, or if the test is being delivered orally. • Questions And Answers All questions and answers provided together, either on multiple sheets, or all on one sheet.
