A PowerPoint explanation (proof) of the methodology for using the “pattern matching” method to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence. Plus an quadratic sequence question generator in EXCEL that has all the solution /method for finding the nth term. The complexity of the question/solution can be adjusted by changing the max and min values. A different question every time by recalculating the worksheet (usually by pressing F9)

3 levels of difficultly with increasing difficulty within each level. Full set of answers. All the puzzles have been provided as individual pieces of clip-art so you can use in your own PowerPoint and Notebook files etc. I have also included LARGE grids and PIPE PIECES that can be cut out so that students can ‘BUILD’ their solutions. If this resource proves popular I will make up some more puzzles and add them to the upload. Just let me know!

If you download please comment/follow so if the resource is updated I will be able to notify you. this resource is PART OF a SET that I have split into single items SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES INCLUDED a set of dominoes with the ADDITION Symbol FOR PRINTABLE SETS OF DOMINOES with ADDITION, MULTIPLICATION symbols on the dominoes or just PLAIN - SEE MY OTHER UPLOADS There is a worksheet for INEQUALITES ( <,> and =) for NUMBER WORK 0-0 to 12-12 approx (5cm x 10cm at 100%) I printed these on CARD and laminated them, other sets were printed on different coloured card Remember to just print Page 1 or yo will print the example/instructions on page 2

10 CHRISTMAS themed SPOT THE DIFFERENCE PUZZLES 10 DIFFERENCES to find on each puzzle A colleague I made them for is intending to LAMINATE the print version of the puzzles so the pupils can use a dry wipe pen on them and they can be reused. The POWERPOINT could be used as a class activity where all the pupils are trying to spot the differences on a puzzle on the interactive whiteboard. All the separate elements of this resource are included as png files. All the separate puzzles are included as JPG files SOME OF THESE PUZZLES MAY BE MORE CHALLENGING THAN YOU THINK! A good exercise in observation skills?

A follow on from my ‘SETS A ,B, C and D’ resources where students have to use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find the missing side near the top of a 'Pythagorean STACK’ 4 worksheets + ANSWERS given are FULL CALC. - Rounded to 1.d.p - and SURD form. See other my FREE resources in this set

PLEASE COMMENT/FOLLOW so if there are any more associated uploads/upgrades I can let you know* File include One in FULL COLOUR and one on white background at two different sizes Also included - sticking the printed tiles together advice/instructions BANNER Approx w 2.7m x h 0.3m POSTER Approx w 1.4m x h 0.65m Best results printed on Laser printer (designed to tile A4 PORTRAIT or A3 Landscape Sheets) Suggest set page over lap to 2.5 cm/1in and set crop marks Will print all tiles from the PDF to Inkjet printer with appropriate settings Most printers leave a white border around the edge. I printed a colour version, stuck it together and cut the white edge off (but that’s a personal preference) Please follow/comment so that you’ll get notified of any upgrades or amendments. I can send you a version with your school logo or department if required ,on request. (Free) I have also included **A PRIME FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM **to use on WHITE BOARDS I have used this with all year groups / all abilities as both a starter activity and a lesson resource when covering this topic. It can be used by student or staff on a computer by hovering/rolling/clicking a specific number They can come to the interactive whiteboard and touch one of the numbers to give them the prime factor/index notation for that number. It can be used to check sets of questions from worksheets or as part of a prime factor bingo game. It needs Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer it is being used on. ( Most computers do have this) If anyone can think of other uses please make a comment. ALSO AVAILABLE A FACTORS POSTER/BANNER (FREE)- see my other uploads

A follow on from my ‘SET A’ worksheet where students have to use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find the missing side in a right-angled triangle give two of the sides. Separate worksheets or one double-sided. 11 questions with Some scaffolding + ANSWERS See other my FREE resources in this set.

SET B - Slightly more difficult version of Reading Scales SET A Uses 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12, and 20 divisions With CLIP-ART to create your own blank worksheets/PowerPoints etc

BOTH set A and set B have 32 questions + answers Set A - Colour blank fraction diagram to show given fraction Set B - State fraction in given fraction diagram I have also included over 700 + pieces of clip-art. Images for every fraction up to 20th’s to use in your own worksheets or Powerpoint’s etc I started with the idea to make every possible variation you could have without reflection or rotational copies and it proved quite a challenge. After get to the 12th’s and making 183 diagrams and with thinking the 13th’s would have even more a just did a few variations for those up to 20th’s. I hope what I have done will be of use to some one. SETS A and B are part of a larger collection of fraction resources

POLYGONS - INTERIOR and EXTERIOR ANGLES INFORMATION POSTER PDF’s ready to print at A4, A3 and A2 sizes (although the latter will need to be printed as tiles and stuck together) PRINTING and TILING ADVICE INCLUDED Also included. The poster and all the individual artwork use in this resource as high quality PNG and PDF files.'s This will enable you to print almost any size (use the PDF on really big sizes as you should not get any pixelation at all) USE with PowerPoints, Notebook files etc

32 questions across 4 worksheets +ANSWERS Given INTEGER values of a, b and c construct a magic square using by substituting them into the expressions on the template. By collecting like terms an expression could be found for the magic number Either answer worksheet can be reversed into a question worksheet where the students have to work out a,b and c There are 4 worksheets in this set so that each student on a ‘table’ or seated near each other could have a different set of questions

In 3 different sizes - Part of a PYTHAGORAS set of 4 different posters. See my other uploads for the others.

The title is Magic Squares of Squares but this is really another way to look at substituting values into expressions, multiplying out double brackets and collecting like terms together before solving a quadratic equation. Also deciding, in some cases, if both values or just one of the values found from solving the quadratic are valid. Just something, I hope that is a bit different from the usual. ANSWERS included
