A lesson focusing on learning the names of polygons (with a Quizlet link) and saying if something IS a Polygon or not

Just some practice questions on applying the Sine Rule

Trying to aim for a mastery/in depth lesson, rather than getting all the index laws done in one lesson. Huge credit to Jo Morgan (@mathsjem). Nicked a lot from her for this resource.

Full (couple of) lesson (s). Lots of stuff.

I do this with decimals, to highlight the importance of using the balancing method. You might find it not to your taste.

Worksheet and matching powerpoint covering -x^2 + bx + c in the form (x+a)^2 + b -a x^2 + bx + c in the form a(x+b)^2 + c Finding turning points Solving with completing the square 3 lessons worth of stuff

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

Lesson on measuring and constructing bearings. No calculations here, making that as a separate lesson. Covers compass points as well.

Quite an unweildy title. Some example problem pairs and quite a lot of discussion work. Maybe needs another ‘regular’ drill exercise, but there’s a million websites that will generate those for you

Just a quick little PowerPoint and worksheet. Finding percentage increase/decrease. There’s no multipliers here. I teach that as a separate lesson usually.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?)

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.
