A student support document to assist with revision and with tackling home assignments independently. The document covers a range of topic areas and specifies stepped approaches for applying mathematical methods such as estimated means, factorising quadratics, applying basic and more advanced Trig, dealing with direct and inverse proportion etc.
A simple worksheet covering factors, multiples and primes and prime factor decomposition with some applied questions and slightly more challenging problems involving decomposition on the second side. Should take around 30 to 40 minutes for students to complete.
This is an example of a Foundation 'Geometry' practice assignment, one of the 12 differentiated assignments available as part of the series on offer. There are both Foundation and Higher versions of each assignment and answer papers.
This is an example of a Foundation 'Statistics' practice assignment, one of the 12 differentiated assignments available as part of the series on offer. There are both Foundation and Higher versions of each assignment and answer papers.
Resource to allow students to practise finding equivalent fractions and ratios, and to encourage students to apply how the process of finding equivalent fractions is the same as the process of finding equivalent ratios
This simple document proposes a structure or framework for developing a numeracy overview and potential scheme of work. It covers the basic numeracy and applied mathematics skills that students who pursue more vocational routes in the long term are likely to need.
If you like these, consider purchasing my full set of 22 papers available through my shop! These are the first 5 papers of my series, best used as SAT homework practice, but easily used to challenge students in class, cover a comprehensive range of the curriculum at Key Stages 2 and 3. Each page contains questions of increasing difficulty, and each page correlates closely to the equivalent grade of work for the new GCSE specifications (Page 2 is grade 2 content). The papers are write-on. I print them as an A3 folded booklet and ask students to choose any 4 consecutive pages - this allows students to differentiate for themselves, although I will sometimes give them guidance. The papers are quick and easy to mark and they evaluate general understanding, ability to interpret, and ability to derive answers using a range of taught methods. They don't cover 'use and application'. My Pure, Statistics and Geometry series, and my topic-based series both do that.
Results can be recorded for each of the 12 assignments for the three categories; Statistics, Pure and Geometry. By inputting results for each question on the paper in the worksheet labelled with the number of each assignment, and specifying whether the student completed the Foundation or Higher paper, overall results are calculated (with a grade based on the new GCSE specification), and topic areas are analysed so that weaknesses can be targeted. Input names for each group in the lead worksheet and these will automatically appear in each subsequent worksheet. Track results over time with this monitoring document. The author has used the series and tracking successfully to ensure sustained success in Mathematics examinations for the students at his College.
This excel document summarises the key learning objectives for Mathematics from ages 11 to 16; the objectives are carefully organised and allow for students to self-assess and teachers to record their progress in a simple, visual way. Each topic area can be printed as a single sheet to share objectives with students, evaluate prior knowledge, and evaluate progress at the end of a taught topic.
A variety of worksheets covering proportions of amounts (including sharing in a given ratio), box method for multiplying, bar charts, stem and leaf diagrams and pie charts, scatter diagrams, transformations, functions and function machines, formulae, and probability.
Worksheets covering negative numbers, angles and line segments, properties of 2D shapes, averages and spread of discrete data, factors, multiples and primes, equivalent fractions and ratios, fractions and the 4 operations, transformations (not including enlargement) and basic coordinate geometry.
A variety of summary worksheets covering collecting terms and solving simple equations, basic coordinate geometry, frequency diagrams, pictograms, two way tables, equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages and simple probability.
Variety of worksheets covering fractions and the 4 operations, average and spread of data, real life graphs and use of formulae, index notation, 3D shapes, factorising and multiplying out brackets for linear expressions, and solving simultaneous linear equations.
A variety of practice worksheets covering decimals and box method for multiplying, addition, subtraction and division of decimals, factorising and multiplying out brackets for linear expressions, Pythagoras and basic Trigonometry, proportions of amounts and average and spread with continuous or grouped data.
This worksheet comprises 3 sections over 3 pages with an answer sheet on the fourth page. It can be printed to a single A3 folded booklet. Section A provides 20 function machines with up to 3 operations to be converted into equations. An example is provided first. Section B provides 12 equations with up to 3 steps to be converted into function machines. An example is provided first. Section C provides 18 functions to be converted into function machines so that inverse function machines can be drawn, and finally the inverse function can be written. The sections contain plenty of practice and will provide at least 2 to 3 lessons of independent study. Each section is intended to develop student understanding towards the ability to write inverse functions. The relationship between a function and its inverse can then be discussed.
These documents provide detailed teaching pedagogy for Shape, Space and Measure topics taught from ages 11 to 16. They provide learning objectives and explanations of how to approach topics from first principles to secure long term understanding, and to avoid teaching tricks! Area, for example, is commonly associated with length times width, without developing a pure understanding of what area actually means.
