A couple of quesions scaffolded to help pupils see how quadratic graphs can be drawn using completing the square and factorising techniques. Pupils fill in the steps and sketch the graphs. Could be used as teaching notes, homework, starter, test, revision.
A collection of bitesize notes and examples on control groups, extraneous variables, estimating population size using capture/recapture method, misleading graphs.
Asks pupils to find the equations of straight lines from points on a graph and substitute into formula. Also some extension tasks. Made fun by asking the questions in the context of earth under attack from cheese.
Pupils can record their findings on the sheet as they are guided to discover the effects of changing the equation on straight line graphs. Designed for use with autograoh or equivalent.
In order to get a pass at A’Level Maths you MUST put in at least one hour of independent work for every one hour of class time. Just attending class and doing the homework IS NOT ENOUGH except in very exceptional cases.
So what could you be doing in those hours…
-how, hints , why - for each suggestion.
A four page handout outlining in detail what students need to be doing.
A collection of key words that can be cut up and spread around the classroom to help with literacy in maths classrooms. Or used as an easy lesson activity - have them cut up in a bag and pupils take one out and try to explain it/ ask someone to spell it...
Activity sheets for pupils and guidance notes for teacher which outlines how to plan a statistical enquiry. Pupils are invited to consider how they would ascertain which form is the 'fittest' using templates and discussion questions. The ideas could be taken further - data collection sheets are included if you choose to actully collect and go on to analyse the data as appropriate to your group. The resources could be used collaboratively with PE dept.
Worksheet with a few numbers in the middle and then pupils calculate averages on their own as a revision/starter/plenary or could be used as a notes/example sheet.
