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.
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.
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.
A grid that encourages the practice of think/pair/share to lead to discussion about how to use a stem and leaf diagram to find mean median mode and range.
Activity that encourages pupils to think about real world statistics. They have to list upto ten data sets for each category. e.g. something that increases over time: height of a tree. Good for initiating discussion or homework.
Pupils can complete the grid in advance of a discussion with form tutor. To identify or enable discussion of issues around organisation, self directed study or getting help.
A self evaluation for pupils to fill in in order to evaluate their strengths and suggested improvements mainly directed at maths lessons but could easily be adapted.
A template to be handed out to groups to enable them to organised themselves into a study group and accomplish a research task. . NB the teacher needs to choose a meaty chapter/assignment for pupils to tackle.
