Carefully designed to develop a conceptual understanding of algebraic expansion and factorisation. Firstly it encourages students think carefully about how multiplication works, making links between the "grid method" and the area of rectangles. This leads into a connected understanding of how algebraic expansion and factorisation works with particular regard to algebraic area. Designed to be printed two pages per sheet.

A colourful and engaging PowerPoint to get students thinking about why maths is so important for them personally. Reasons range from classics (more money) to less conventional and more fundamental reasons, including:
🐲 Loans, bills & taxes... 😢
🐲 Increased earnings.
🐲 Understanding just about everything in the world better.
🐲 Improving your ability to succeed in ANY field, with sport given as an example.
🐲 Logic, strategy & problem-solving: basically maths makes you smarter!
🐲 Not letting yourself be fooled by the media and advertising.
🐲 Stopping human society from collapsing!
🐲 Understanding the universe and our place within it!

An extremely different approach to teaching trigonometry that allows high-ability students to truly understand what the sine function is doing. This tried-and-tested guide shows students how to scale up and down right-angled triangles produced by a unit circle in order to solve any trigonometry problem. This is for students and teachers who don't just want to memorise SOHCAHTOA but really want a deeper understanding of trigonometry. Anyone who has had to apply trigonometry in real-life situations such as engineering or computer game design will know that SOHCAHTOA is not appropriate for our high-ability students. This method is advocated by MEI lecturer Tomi Owens, among others. Not only does it develop a deeper understanding of trigonometry but it allows students to practise Pythagoras and complex enlargements. Be warned, this method may only be suitable for the most able of students.

Dinosaurs, planetary orbits, megagons and space diagonals, this trigonometry resource pack has it all! Not to mention a few trigonometry tests with some plain old triangles thrown in for good measure, solutions included. Some resources for practising basic trigonometry with gradually increasing difficulty, and some exceptionally challenging questions that will make even the smartest maths teachers have to think too! Some resources for outdoor trigonometry may have to be adapted for your school grounds.
