Dividing Decimals

Dividing Decimals

(0)
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

(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?

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

Converting units of time

(3)
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

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
Solving two step equations
richardtockrichardtock

Solving two step equations

(1)
Does as it says on the tin. There’s probably two lessons in here. Includes a worksheet with the same questions as on the PowerPoint. Answers are provided.
Perimeter

Perimeter

(2)
Everything you need to teach perimeter. Includes algebraic reasoning, drawing a picture with coordinates and the rest. Maybe 3 lessons here.

Completing the square

(0)
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
Rounding to significant figures

Rounding to significant figures

(1)
CHANGELOG : Massively updated 23/09/2021 to clean up a lot of stuff and add a section on identifying how many significant figures are in a number. I also collated the activities into a worksheet. 20/9/22 : Changed the worked examples to avoid duplicate digits. Full lesson. Starts with a pattern spot (you could use mini whiteboards), moves on to some increasingly difficult problems, then a lovely pixel puzzle.
