A complete collection of resources to teach Circle Theorems to a higher GCSE Maths class. Bundle includes: Full explanatory lesson slides, designated questions worksheet, done-for-you flash cards, DIY flash card templates, student information posters and a fun, festive themed circle theorems challenge worksheet.
Individual resources valued at over £8
Circle theorems are an essential part of the Higher Tier Maths GCSE, students often love flash cards for this topic because there are so many parts they need to know to maximise their potential for success. Take the stress of creating your own flashcards away by using these aesthetic done-for-you flashcards. Designed to use 2 A4 pages only, so extremely printer friendly!
BONUS: Let the students do the work whilst also keeping cards neat and make use of the blank circle theorems flash card templates (ideal for higher acheiving students to complete independently).
BONUS 2: A matching-aesthetic student information cover sheet that students can use in their exercise books or have as an extra revision resource.
BONUS 3: A3 classroom poster of all the circle theorems.
Circle theorems are an essential tool in the Higher Tier Maths GCSE so it is important for students to get clear and precise explanations, along with integrated pratise questions, from the start. This complete lesson has been designed to serve as an introduction to the topic of circle theorems, and slides are fully animated with step-by-step definitions and examples. Each circle theorem is covered in depth with key vocabulary and examples of “special cases”, when the circle theorem may look different or be hidden. Sections have been created to allow for easy searching, and “test your knowledge” breaks throughout. As this resource covers all 8 theorems you can expect this to span several lesson-times according to your students’ needs.
Slides can also be used as a revision resource, either in class or in a revision workshop or drop in. There is a relevant starter/settler activity provided at the beginning and all answers to questions are available throughout.
BONUS: along with the 57 fully animated slides, there are also 20+ original circle theorems questions including classic style questions, circle theorems with algebra and “hidden” problem-solving style questions. Also highlighted are key skills that examiners love to interweave into circle theorem questions!
BONUS 2: a printer-friendly, questions-only, student worksheet that gives space for annotations and calculations. Designed to be used as a ‘follow along’ to the lesson but a worthy stand-alone resource in its own right.
With an appealing modern aesthetic, this has everything you need to cover the circle theorems topic in full.
Circle Theorems are an essential part of the Higher Tier Maths GCSE, yet often overlooked when thinking of “fun”. This pair of worksheets is perfect for giving your students a festive-themed challenge practising their discernment of circle theorems, execution of problem solving and ability to state reasons for answers.
Challenge your students further with a bit of competition - as all questions can be awarded marks (and why not add in bonus points for excellent explanations!?).
Worksheets include a reindeer and snowman theme, and the slides are equipped with a relevant starter activity and full answers. You can expect this activity to take around 30 minutes if done as designed, allowing for a margin of time at the start and end of your maths period.
Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students practicing key skills without using drill questions, and they are self-checking! Follow the trail of questions and answers to form a complete loop around the classroom. This mini-scavenger hunt is ideal for EAL, lower ability or as a quick starter activity. The questions include key mathematical vocabulary such as “more than” or “less than” and have a number line visual on each station, with solutions ranging from negative to positive ten.
