Estimating the mean from a grouped frequency table

Estimating the mean from a grouped frequency table

(2)
Quite like this. A little discussion on finding the midpoint, followed by an example problem pair, followed by a very scaffolded exercise followed by an activity where pupils have to look at what’s changed, which I think is quite cool. I used Dr Frost to top off a little bit of practice here, too.
Changing the subject by factorisation

Changing the subject by factorisation

(1)
Really simple resource. Changing the subject when you need to factorise. Split into three sections -If your terms are already grouped -If you need to group them -If you need to multiply across and then regroup. Example problem pairs and exercises for all, although the exercises aren’t anything very exciting at all.
Equivalent Fractions

Talks about equivalency before moving onto simplifying Example problem pairs, exercises for both. The PDF here is just a print out of the questions from the PowerPoint
Changing the Subject [No factorisation]
richardtockrichardtock

Changing the Subject [No factorisation]

(0)
Loads of stuff here. (But no rearranging that requires factorisation) Example problem pairs. At least 5 different activities. A discussion about what it means for something to be the subject of an equation. An activity just asking pupils if the first step is correct (I think this is quite important). Some mini whiteboard work. A stardard exercise. An activity where they have to rearrange scientific formulas (is SMSC still a thing?)
Surds and brackets

Surds and brackets

(0)
Example problem pair and an exercise to do. Plus 5 quick questions, two exam questions and some multiple choice shenanigans aimed at hinting at the skills needed to rationalise the denominator.
Surd Addition
richardtockrichardtock

Surd Addition

(0)
A really quick example problem pair and activity. Not a whole lesson. Just wanted to be more explicit about teaching addition of surds, rather than having it as an after thought when I multiplied them.
Simplifying Surds

Simplifying Surds

(0)
CHANGELOG 22/09/2021 - Corrected the second exercise Covers a few cases eg -Root 8 = 2 root 2 -2Root8 = 4Root2 -Simpifying with fractions and canceling a common term. A not huge. A starter. A little activity on what is a surd. A good amount of example/problem pairs. Two question sets. Some exam questions and five quick questions at the end. Included worksheet is merely a copy of what’s on the PowerPoint.
Reverse Percentages

Reverse Percentages

(0)
Simple but comprehensive. Example problem pairs for discounts and increases in prices. 3 exercises for students to do. Worksheet included. Please comment and rate if you find this useful. I feed on the attention.
Dividing Decimals
richardtockrichardtock

Dividing Decimals

(2)
Simple but comprehensive. Goes through dividing integers that make decimal answers all the way up to dividing two decimals. Some example problem pairs, some exercises, a ‘correct the work’ exercise, a little learning check. Use bits you want, chuck out bits you don’t. I wrote the questions to encourage thinking.
Multiplying Decimals
richardtockrichardtock

Multiplying Decimals

(0)
Simple PowerPoint Multiplying decimals both from scratch and using previous facts. Ie 43 x 56 = 2408, what is 4.3 x 5.6? Includes example problem pairs and two exercises. Everything you need to teach this topic.
Bounds

Bounds

(1)
As comprehensive as I could make it (without involving calculations) Rounding starter Upper/Lower Error intervals Discrete bounds Bounds with weird rounding Worksheet is a mirror of the questions on the PowerPoint 5 exercises with answers included
Simultaneous equations and Venn diagrams
richardtockrichardtock

Simultaneous equations and Venn diagrams

(0)
Designed to be used as a starter to get students to understand what a system of equations IS. Place in the Venn diagram pairs of coordinates that fit each section. Hopefully the pupils think it takes ages by trail and improvement. Then you say “Well, I have a method for solving these much more easily” You introduce the substitution or elimination method and they all look on, enraptured by the mathematical knowledge you’re imparting and the ‘short cut’ to doing these questions you’re showing them. No answers are provided as there is a infinite set of answers either side of the intersection.
Half or two?
richardtockrichardtock

Half or two?

(0)
Really simple little starter on something that I picked up on with my class : deciding when a result is two or when it is a half
Converting units of time
richardtockrichardtock

Converting units of time

(4)
Converting between hours and minutes and decimal form. For instance 2 hours 30 minutes and 2.5 hours. Useful intro before tackling speed distance time. Also included is problems like ‘write 99 minutes in hours and minutes’
The Cosine Rule
richardtockrichardtock

The Cosine Rule

(0)
Just the cosine rule. Finding the side Finding the angle Example problem pairs (see https://berwickmaths.com/ for an explanation of this) and some questions. Not much of putting it all together but a quick exercise in picking which rule to use. There is an exam question included, a hard one that involves using cosine and then basic trig to find an angle. I did this over two lessons. Finding the side was one lesson, finding the angle the next lesson
