This investigation (includes teacher notes and worksheets) is suited to very able KS4 groups and those in KS5 studying Maths. It covers the topics of convergence, subject of a formula and even can be expanded to iteration for more advanced learners.
Pupils are given a starting value of a sequence, which they multiply by 3, add 10 to then and finally divide by 4 to generate the next term in the sequence. They then multiply this value by 3, add ten to it and divide by 4 to get the next term and so forth, generating the sequence in an iterative manner until the sequence converges.
The goal of this investigation is to find a relationship between the initial starting value of the sequence and that which it converges to. This can be explained in a satisfying algebraic way using subject of the formula although pupils may offer other alternative explanations.
A selection of 8 starters on probability related to real life which are suitable for KS3 and GCSE students. The starters encourage students to think laterally, being similar to brainteasers. Topics covered include: experimental probability, listing outcomes, sample space diagrams, relative frequency, tree diagrams, probability scales and permutations/combinations.
Each starter begins with a problem or statement which the children must decide is true or false through investigation, giving reasons why this is the case. This exercise would be perfect for encouraging discussions as students may present a wide variety of explanations.
This is a set of excellent resources which cover geometry in KS3 maths/GCSE foundation.
The 2-D shapes formulae sheet contains all of the area formulae for 2-D shapes as well as 3 diagrams illustrating the parts of a circle. The 2-D shapes revision sheet includes details of all the properties of 2-D shapes and contains a section on polygons.
Also included in the resource is a revision aid on how to work out the circumference and area of a circle with worked examples and questions for students to attempt. There is also some worded questions on circumference and area which go beyond simply just asking them to calculate the area and circumference of a circle. Instead it gets them to draw on their literacy skills to decode the question and problem-solving abilities to attempt a style of question they may not have encountered before or be familiar with.
This bundle contains some very useful revision aids for KS3 maths pupils.
It contains a glossary of all the mathematical terms used on the course which they can use for reference and to boost literacy skills and a formulae sheet of all the areas of 2-D shapes used on the syllabus. There is also a handy test on all the essential skills they need to use on the course.
This pack includes resources which are ideal to use at the start of lesson to get pupils engaged and motivated.
In the pack is a simple addition starter which is great for group-working, a set of 8 thought-provoking probability starters (covering the topics of tree diagrams, sample space diagrams, probability scales, relative frequency and listing outcomes) to get students thinking in a different way and a set of questions which cover the essential skills pupils need at GCSE Maths: working with fractions, decimals and percentages, area and perimeter of 2-D shape and multiplication.
A set of 6 investigations (complete with teacher notes and worksheets) where students are set a challenging problem and work to find the solution. Each investigation should take up a whole lesson.
The first investigation focuses mainly on probability and gets pupils to find the total possible number of half-time scores if given the full-time score, eventually finding a formula connecting the two. The second connects geometry and algebra, getting pupils to generate a formula which links the total possible number of triangles with a given perimeter. The third investigation gets pupils to discover the origins of square numbers whilst the fourth gets students to calculate the optimum rate (using compound interest) at which interest should be added to money in order to achieve maximum interest. The bundle concludes with a pair of investigations on triangular numbers, the first helping pupils to appreciate the properties of the sequence and the second which gets pupils to discover the derivation for the nth term of the triangular number sequence.
This bundle is extremely useful as a revision aid for students taking GCSE Foundation Maths exam and to help teachers deliver it. As well as being used to assist in revision in the build-up to the exam, it could also be used as a resource to regularly consult throughout the course. It contains a glossary of all key terms and vocabulary used throughout the course, a baseline test of all the key skills students need to have to pass the course as well as three whole lessons (on Powerpoint with differentiated questions) on three of the main topics on the syllabus: Constructing and Solving Linear Equations, Interior and Exterior Angles in a Polygon and Ratios. The bundle also contains a handy worksheet on worded questions on finding the area and circumference of a circle.
A set of revision sheets (each including worked examples of exam questions) which can be used in lessons and for pupils to store for revision in the future.
Topics covered are area and properties of 2-D shapes, Triangular Numbers, Area and Circumference of a Circle and simplifying and dividing ratios.
The sheets are set out in the style of a textbook, but in a much more concise manner, not only reminding pupils of the key points of the topic, but also providing an explanation of the maths behind them. There are strong cross-curricular links with literacy, with pupils encouraged to learn mathematical terminology.
This bundle is excellent in helping teachers to prepare students for their GCSE Maths Foundation exam.
In the pack is 5 full lessons, revision materials on 2-D shapes and ratios, a glossary of all terms used on the course, a formula sheet to help pupils remember formulae and a short test on all the essential skills they need to master in the GCSE Maths Foundation course.
