Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

Speed-Time Graphs Spiders

(22)
Three "spiders" containing increasingly difficult questions moving from just reading the graph through calculating distance travelled to calculating acceleration.
Recognising Graphs
alutwychealutwyche

Recognising Graphs

(4)
A PowerPoint with three graphs drawn on each of 8 slides of increasing challenge, moving from linear through to quadratics, cubics, reciprocals and exponential graphs. On each slide there are equations to match to each graph plus extra equations so that it adds more challenge; there is a blank grid so that the equations that don’t match can be sketched.
Inequalities Spiders

Inequalities Spiders

(13)
This is designed to make students think about representing inequalities on a number line, listing integers (directly and having simplified) and regions. They are split this way to allow you to start/stop wherever you feel your class needs to. The number lines and graphs are as big as I can make them!
Probability Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Probability Spiders

(8)
Six "spiders" on probability. The first two are basic, the middle two are two events (independent) and the final two are two events (dependent). Some "legs" answer questions, some legs give the answer and ask for the question. They have been split this way so that you can use different "spiders" with different classes. These should encourage discussion and questions such as "Is that the only answer?" which should demonstrate understanding. Typos corrected.
Mean, Median and Mode Girls
alutwychealutwyche

Mean, Median and Mode Girls

(9)
This was an idea one of my Year 10s gave me using the "Mean Girls" films. This covers basic mean, median and mode before moving on to stem-and-leaf (including IQR) and grouped data - there are three very distinct sections moving up in difficulty to enable you to start/end where you like. It's all on the powerpoint to save the planet (no worksheet) but everything can be copied and pasted to create a worksheet.
Function Machines Puzzles

Function Machines Puzzles

(3)
Can you calculate what the workers in each box are doing on the mathematical building site? It's essentially function machines but where you have the answers but need to find the rules.
Rearranging Explosions
alutwychealutwyche

Rearranging Explosions

(8)
I am about to tackle rearranging formulae (a topic so many find difficult) with my Year 10 class so came up with this in an attempt to make them more comfortable with playing with algebra; it should also encourage discussion about different ways of doing it.
Averages Matching
alutwychealutwyche

Averages Matching

(2)
Six matching activities: 1 mode, 1 median, 1 mean, 1 mixture (all include frequency tables), 2 grouped data. These are designed to be starters or plenaries but could be used as a whole lesson activity if you wish.
What Was The Question? 4
alutwychealutwyche

What Was The Question? 4

(5)
This is designed to get students thinking rather than just blindly following a mathematical recipe. There a four sets of 4 problems which all have the same answer (given in the centre of the screen). Each question has a blank for the students to fill in and sometimes there is more than one answer for the blank. This particular one covers fractions, decimals, percentages, sequences, probability, expressions (algebra), quadratics, standard form, indices and other topics. I will be using these as starters to get students thinking.
GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation
alutwychealutwyche

GCSE Revision Pub Quiz - Higher and Foundation

(115)
This is a revision activity either to be done in small groups or individually. There are the following rounds: Number, Algebra, Shape and Space, Date Handling, Using and Applying. All have 10 questions worth one point each except the Using and Applying round where there are 5 questions worth 3 points each, where workings must be given.
Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

Maths Revision: Quiz Lesson - powerpoint.

(10)
This powerpoint is for classes to do in teams. Each summer related question takes 30 seconds to answer (an alarm goes off and the link to the answer appears). There are 5 topics areas: Number, Algebra, Shape & Space, Data Handling, Pot Luck. Each topic has 5 questions worth a different amount of points based upon difficulty.
Distance-Time Graph Spiders
alutwychealutwyche

Distance-Time Graph Spiders

(12)
Three "spiders" involving three different distance-time graphs and questions involving read them and speed. Hopefully this has covered most, if not all possible questions from a distance-time graph.
Constructions
alutwychealutwyche

Constructions

(1)
This (hopefully) does what it says on the tin: I wanted some sheets for students to construct triangles and bisectors so produced this. The constructions all fit in the boxes provided as long as you print them out on A4 paper. We start with constructing triangles, then bisectors, then a rhombus and a perpendicular line from a given point before finishing with couple of challenges (Yin-yang, incircle and circumcircle). Like I say, it is not designed to be flashy just practical.
Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation
alutwychealutwyche

Pascal's Triangle To Binomial Expansion Investigation

(11)
This was designed as a "taster" session to A Level mathematics for Year10s/11s and builds on what they should know regarding expanding brackets until they discover that you can use Pascal's Triangle to expand brackets. It gives them the chance to investigate their theories and what effect a negative sign makes.
Indices Trees
alutwychealutwyche

Indices Trees

(0)
Eight trees that students can climb based on their knowledge of indices. The idea is to continually ramp up the difficulty and allow students to choose their start point. They start from the most basic writing using powers, laws of indices up to simplifying using fractional and negative indices.
