Vector Proof

Vector Proof

(7)
Linked to the defining vectors activity, using the vectors defined in the image to prove standard results like ratios of line segments, whether points lie on straight lines, etc. For extra challenge take out the image with the pre-defined vectors and add the image from my vector definition activity so that pupils have to define the vectors before using them. Answers can be found on the prezi at link https://prezi.com/lenmenrpi1li/vector-proof/

Factor Grid challenge

(1)
Can you complete the 9 squares using each of the numbers from 1 to 9 only once, so that the factors of the pairs of numbers are correct? Comes with one solution - is it the only one?!?
Invariance Activity Sheet

Invariance Activity Sheet

(17)
A RAG (Red, Amber, Green) worksheet around identifying invariant points on different transformations, incorporating a CLOZE activity (fill in the blanks), a matching activity, and a Venn Diagram activity
Defining vectors

Defining vectors

(4)
Adapted from an image in Back to Back activities, 2 vectors are defined as a and b and the activity asks how many further vectors can be defined in terms of a and b. The image gives all of the other lines defined as vectors in terms of a and b.
Lowest Common Multiple

Lowest Common Multiple

(4)
Use of Venn Diagrams to find LCM, with three grades of challenge (RAG) moving from given multiples, to identifying multiples of 2 numbers, to identifying multiples of 3 numbers - inspired by Craig Barton's love of Venn Diagrams.
Vector Hunt

Vector Hunt

(1)
Given a vector picture, can you identify the vectors that either match, or are multiples of, the given vector a? A nice alternative vector introduction, or way of introducing the ideas of scalar multiple (including negative of a vector)
Adding and Subtracting with Vectors Matching cards

Adding and Subtracting with Vectors Matching cards

(4)
A three way matching card resource in the Standards Unit style - the first cards have images of two vectors labelled either a and b or a and -b, the second set of cards give the column vectors of a and b to match to the pictures (note b is given even when the picture shows -b for added difficulty) and then the third set has the result of the vector addition/subtraction to match to the previous two. There are 6 additions and 6 subtractions altogether. Use an alternative resource to introduce or revise column vectors or adding and subtracting with vectors at GCSE or A-Level.
Ratio Shuttle Team Challenge

Ratio Shuttle Team Challenge

(1)
A UKMT inspired 'shuttle' style challenge; pupils complete one question at a time and bring it to the front to try and 'unlock' the next question. If they get it right first time they get three points, if not they get 1 point provided they subsequently get it right. They don't get the next question until they get the previous one right. Works best in groups of 3 or 4, be prepared to have kids running!

Maths and the Migrant Crisis

(9)
A series of 3 worksheets using the BBC news coverage of the European migrant/refugee crisis in the mediterranean and graphs/statistics from their website.
Venn Diagrams

Venn Diagrams

(2)
A couple of Venn Diagram exam style questions which both bring in areas of maths that are not probability.
Different listing situations
PayphonePayphone

Different listing situations

(1)
Looking at different real life situations that give rise to listing outcomes, how does the situation effect the probability? Can go as far as multiplicative counting introduction.
Area (and possible trigonometry) problem
PayphonePayphone

Area (and possible trigonometry) problem

(0)
Given 3 lengths and 3 perpendiculars, which length is incorrect? If working with non-right-angled trigonometry can also bring in cosine rule and area to check by calculating areas from given lengths. Possibly also some Pythagoras links with the perpendiculars? Is there more than one possible answer?
