Lesson looks at using surds with within questions such as finding areas and perimeters of shapes. Finding missing sides in right-angled triangles. Finding surface areas and volumes. Worked examples. All answers included.
Lesson explores rationalising involving single expression denominators, denominators with the surd multiplied by a coefficient and the use of a conjugate where the denominator expression requires the difference of two squares method to remove the square root. All skills are demonstrated by worked examples and differentiated question slides are included. Exam style questions included. All answers included.
Lesson exploring expanding single brackets involving surds. Then looks at expanding two brackets, including a single bracket squared. All explanations include worked examples and all question slides include answers.
Lesson looking at conventions of naming straight lines and angles. Starter examines pupils understanding of types of angles.
Fully worked examples and questions to consolidate and demonstrate understanding.
Lesson looking at finding missing angles on a straight line.
Starter looks at sums to 180, and simple equations to 180. Explanation of why 360 degrees in a circle and thus why 180 on a straight line. Examples finding missing angles with numbers and then with algebra. All examples and question slides include fully-worked answers
Lesson uses alternate angles and angles on a straight line to explain why angles in a triangle up to 180 degrees.
Worked examples and questions on finding missing angles. Extends to include isosceles triangles, then exterior angles and opposite angles. All answers included.

Plotting Quadratic Graphs using tables of values. Review of straight line graphs and substitution. Worked examples of different quadratic curves and what is meant by “appropriate axis”. Questions and all answers all included.
Lesson explores solving non-linear equations graphically. Examples look at adding horizontal lines [y=4 etc] and then sloping lines [y=x+2] to solve different problems.
Multiple Choice starter identifying linear and quadratic functions. Reminder of solving linear simultaneous equations graphically. Follows similar process to solve quadratic and linear simultaneous equations. Also looks at styles of questions and manipulations of equations to find which graphs to plot.
Starter using Pythagoras to find diagonals of quadrilaterals. Use of Pythagoras to explain equation of a circle based on the origin. Extends to look at circles not centred on the origin.
