Christmas Mathematics Advent Calendar

(0)
Give your classroom a festive look this December. The two advent calendars are designed to be displayed around the classroom in the run up to the Christmas holiday, or as set pieces of work each day. Students can search the classroom walls for the question of the day and answer the question on their sheet. Ideal as a starter or a good conclusion to the lesson. Questions range from Algebra, number work, fractions, decimals, ratio and much more. There are two calendars which can be mixed and matched as you require. Excellent resource to include a little bit of festive fun and revision.
Christmas End of Term Games

Christmas End of Term Games

(0)
These activities are aimed at key stage 3 students. They could also be used as revision for GCSE students. The pack contains GCSE foundation style questions including standard form, ratio, number work, fractions, algebra and much more. Answers are included. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table Put students into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) Each are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed each set of questions. The exercise should take no longer than 30 minutes At the end students remain at their final table and swap answer sheets with the nearest table. Go through each question with the class before revealing the answers. Finally, students ad up their score and the highest score gets a prize! This exercise gives students a chance to try GCSE style foundation questions and see a demonstration on how they should be answered.

GCSE Mathematics : Exact Trig Values

(0)
This lesson teaches students the exact trig values for the sin cos and tan of 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees. The lesson shows two ways to remember the values by either table or triangles. The lesson is also accompanied with several worksheets. The idea being that one worksheet is given at the end of teaching the lesson for students to demonstrate what they now know. Then throughout the year or two further worksheets can be given to check on them retaining the information taught.

Christmas Workout

(0)
This set of exercises can either be used as a starter during the last two weeks of term or all together as a lesson piece. Designed with a Christmas feel, the task involves students either creating mathematical equations or using the process of elimination to find the numerical values attached to each of the Christmas pictures presented. The material is useful for either KS2 or KS3 students, however GCSE foundation students would also have fun with this material.

Algebra : Collection of like terms, Simplifying expressions and Substitution

(0)
This bundle of work consists of three lessons with worksheets. Lesson one : Collection of like terms. This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to collect like terms when simplifying a series of terms. Lesson two : Simplifying expressions This lesson and two worksheets looks at multiplying terms together where algebra is involved. (At the same time revising the knowledge of - x - or - x +, etc) Lesson three : Substitution into formulae This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to substitute numerical values into simple algebraic expressions Two worksheets have been given per lesson so that if the class has an issue with the first worksheet, then a review of the work can take place with the follow up worksheet used to demonstrate improvement. These lessons are suitable as an introduction to Algebra or for the younger students who have little knowledge in Algebra.

Dividing into a given Ratio

Dividing into a given Ratio

(0)
Due to COVID the way we teach has altered somewhat. These days I find it easier to have my examples preprinted with students filling in the gaps between examples in class with the aid of the teacher at the front. A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Furthermore at home students can access a video example or two with the QR code on the front of the workbook (just in case they are struggling at home) Answers are provided and also answers to the examples

GCSE Mathematics 9-1: Sequences: Continuing a sequence, using the nth term and finding the nth term
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Mathematics 9-1: Sequences: Continuing a sequence, using the nth term and finding the nth term

(0)
Lesson 1: Continuing a sequence This lesson looks at students being able to continue a sequence from a given rule, or obtaining a pattern from the numbers already given in the sequence. Through worked examples students get their first insight to the work involved with sequences. Lesson 2: Continuing a pattern This lesson concentrates around continuing patterns. Several worked examples look at numerical responses to the patterns generated. I usually teach this lesson after continuing a sequence and before the lesson on using the nth term. Lesson 3: Using the nth term This lesson is always taught after the introduce to continuing sequences. This lesson demonstrates how sequences can be generated by formulae. Also I point out along the way how the sequence going up by a certain number doesn’t imply that we add whatever each time but that it belongs in some way to a particular multiplication table. This, I find, helps with the next lesson on finding the nth term. Lesson 4: Finding the nth term This lesson is mainly about finding the nth term of any linear sequence. Through worked examples students very quickly learn how to find the nth term of sequence such as 5, 8, 11, 14, etc… The lesson also touches on other sequences but through their new found understanding of the linear sequence. This lesson is taught after the lesson on using the nth term and, dependent on age or ability, before the lesson on sequences which involve quadratic solutions. Sequence Workbook This selection of work can easily be printed as an A5 booklet. The booklet consists of questions for students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework and compliment the lessons on sequences I use yearly.
