This lesson is designed for my Key stage 4 classes. Through a series of worked examples the class revise how to find the number of sides for a regular polygon or the size of interior and exterior angles. Plus further problems. The lesson also contains a worksheet with solutions.

This lesson teaches students how to first differentiate a variety of trig functions followed by integration of trig functions.

This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and 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 the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!

Here I have created a group of starter questions for my foundation students to tackle at the beginning of the lesson. This powerpoint includes questions on fractions into decimals sequences the nth term solving simple equations dividing into a given ratio simplifying expressions factorising multiplying decimals

Introduces students to the designated button on the calculator for Standard form questions. After a series of examples there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.

This power point presentation is an introduction to Algebra. By the end of the one or two lessons students should have gained a basic understanding for the use of letters and be able to collect together like terms. The structure of the lesson allows the teacher to discuss answers and write them down as the power point in flow.

These worked examples revise drawing quadratic curves and then teaches how we can draw a tangent by eye on the curve for different values of x. The examples then demonstrate how we can find the gradient of the tangents drawn. The lesson is accompanied with two worksheets for the students to complete in class or as a piece of homework.

I use this PowerPoint over two lessons. The first lesson introduces students to the CAST diagram. There is an assumption that students are already aware of the three trig curves. A series of examples follow where students find the exact value for the sin, cos or tan of certain angles. The second lesson looks at the definition of a negative angle. The lessons complete with examples of how the CAST diagram can be used to solve simple trig equations for a given range.

An introduction for students meeting Trigonometry for the first time. Covering several lessons. Demonstrates how to label the sides of a right angled triangle. Introduces students to the three Trig ratios before looking at finding angles.

A series of worksheets involving solving equations. Designed for students meeting Algebra in the early stages.

This lesson and worksheets looks at algebraic problems which involve constructing equations based on the knowledge of either angles in a triangle angles in a quadrilateral ands associated with parallel lines angles in a parallelogram angles associated with circle theorems. There are two worksheets to backup the worked examples. The second worksheet is similar to the first just in case you need a review and want student to "have another go" Solutions are provided.

Circle Theorems revision is a PowerPoint presentation which can be used over two lessons or more. The lesson starts with the six theorems required at GCSE followed by a series of examples and questions for the students to attempt.

These revision lessons are designed for students studying GCSE mathematics and cover the following: Volume of a prism Volume of a sphere Volume of a pyramid Volume of a cone Surface area of a cuboid Surface area of a cone Surface area of a cylinder

Here are two revision lessons I have used throughout the year with foundation students. The lessons consist of worked examples followed by questions for the students to answer. The PowerPoint is broken down so that any foundation student can access the material.

This lesson shows younger children how to subtract numbers when using the column method. Each example is worked through and students can see clearly each step. There are plenty of examples so that children can grasp the techniques involved. The latter examples involve an element of literacy to the question.

These two PowerPoints are designed for students at GCSE level. Through worked examples students learn how to work out the area of a sector or the length of an arc. The lessons are accompanied with two worksheets one for each lesson. Answers are included.

With my year 11 foundation group struggling with recent Best Buy questions I put these two slides together for further practice. I worked through the first example and then they attempted the following questions before we checked answers together. It is only a short piece but follows the same pattern as most of my other revision lessons. However the other revision lessons tend to last the length of a lesson.

Keeping with the theme of the revision lessons already on here this lesson looks at the ability of students being able to write as a standard form, or as an ordinary number. It also looks at multiplication or division of numbers written in standard form. This lesson is part of the bundle I am currently putting together for both my higher level and foundation level students. The bundle can be found from the following link. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-revision-lessons-11733758

I put this on the site because I’ve used this since 1988 and its proved successful. Since the introduction of National curriculum, with its 15 attainment targets, I divided it into 5 sections. The four you see on each specification sheet plus one for investigations. What I like about this presentation is whenever I have seen a change to the syllabus such as in 1994, 2000, 2010 and more recently in 2015 I have only had to alter a little of what I do. Each year I print the specifications onto A3 paper. In a meeting, at the beginning of the year, we discuss what went well what do we think should be added to the year 7, 8, 9 scheme of work so that the work in year 10 and 11 can be reduced. I’ve been invited to several school to implement this and each school had sightly different schemes to each other. So for example with the introduction of the iterative formula I decided to introduce this in year 9 so that when students study this in years 10 or 11 they have already met it once. Years ago I decided that students in years 10 and 11 were struggling with Circle Theorems. Hence I introduced students to circle theorems in year 7 with two introduced. In year 8 we revised these two theorems and introduced 2 more. Then in year 9 all 6 theorems. This proved successful. Now don’t get me wrong some years we added to a curriculum to find at the end of the year we were criticising ourselves with “theres too much to get through”; so the yearly debate is essential.Plus if nothing else it shows you are working as a team. The scheme for year 7 is aimed at everyone. Each student having the same opportunity to flourish. The schemes for year 8 and 9 are taken at the teachers discretion. That is to say with some classes the teacher will touch on a topic listed whereas other classes with totally master the said topic. The scheme in year 10 and 11 is what is required for the new specifications. Again a teacher decides where to start what they feel they can omit from the classroom learning, etc… Some might say what materials do I need to cover the topics you have listed or resources. I have always left that up to the individual teacher (treating them as a professional) however if someone did ask for advise on covering say Decimals I would give them access to the power points and worksheets I use for that year group. I have demonstrated this with a hyperlink on many of the topics. I will add to these hyperlinks as I upgrade my lessons from PowerPoint/board work.
