Revision starters for GCSE topics.

(1)
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
Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how we can convert decimals into either fractions or percentages. Fractions into decimals or percentages and percentages into decimals or fractions. These revision lessons work with the teacher going through a couple of examples, which I get the students to copy down into their books, so that they have something to refer back to later. Then the students answer a number of questions to ensure they understand the work. The I move to the next slide and do much the same. I find that this has really helped with the low ability students moving their learning form short term to long term.
Fraction: The four rules of number

Fraction: The four rules of number

4 Resources
This bundle consists of the four lessons on Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and division of fractions. Each lesson consists of a powerpoint lesson, worksheet and Answers.
Circle Theorems
sjcoopersjcooper

Circle Theorems

7 Resources
This bundle is all the lessons I use for introducing circle theorems to a class. I have included the proofs of circle theorems which I tend to use with the higher groups only.
A Dozen GCSE Maths Questions worksheets 9 & 10

A Dozen GCSE Maths Questions worksheets 9 & 10

(1)
Following the Dozen questions theme, attached here are two more worksheets with the same theme. Each worksheet has 12 questions based on the material for the higher level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.
Venn Diagrams & Probability
sjcoopersjcooper

Venn Diagrams & Probability

(1)
This lesson is demonstrates through worked examples how Venn diagrams can be used to obtain the probability of a given event. The lesson also has a worksheet attached.
Revision questions for New GCSE Mathematics
sjcoopersjcooper

Revision questions for New GCSE Mathematics

(1)
These examination papers have been written in the style of the new GCSE Mathematics Papers. There are 41 questions and Answers helping students revise Algebraic Fractions Arc length and Area of a sector Area under the graph Calculating the mean Completing the square Composite and Inverse functions Compound Percentage questions.
Direct Proportion
sjcoopersjcooper

Direct Proportion

(1)
This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which a direct proportion question could be worded. Then through a series of worked examples, students learn how to answer questions involving direct proportion. The lesson contains a worksheet and answers which can be completed in class or set as a piece of homework.
Constructing Triangles
sjcoopersjcooper

Constructing Triangles

(1)
Three lessons on how to construct Triangles. Each lesson has a relevant worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. Each worksheet also has a solution sheet. First lesson looks at constructing triangles when given all three sides. Second lesson looks at constructing triangles when given one side and two angles. Third lesson looks at constructing triangles when given two sides and one angle.
Frequency polygons and Histograms
sjcoopersjcooper

Frequency polygons and Histograms

(1)
These two lessons and two worksheets I have used to introduce the basic knowledge of a histogram and then use this knowledge to draw a frequency polygon. The histogram powerpoint and worksheet leaves the class widths at equal intervals. The frequency polygon powerpoint is then taught the next lesson to show students that it is quicker to draw a frequency polygon (and use it for comparisons) rather than a histogram. The worksheets can be used in class or given as a piece of homework.
Angles in a polygon
sjcoopersjcooper

Angles in a polygon

(1)
This is a lesson which demonstrates to students the sum of the angles in a variety of polygons through the knowledge of the angles in a triangle. The lesson then looks at a method of finding the interior and exterior angles of regular polygons. This resource also contains a worksheet for either classwork or homework (answers to follow!)
Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.
sjcoopersjcooper

Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.

(1)
This lesson is taught once students have a firm understanding of solving simultaneous equations through elimination. Through worked examples students learn how to solve simultaneous equations by the substitution method. Further examples demonstrate its use when looking at points of intersection with a curve and a line. The lesson is completed with a worksheet which can be answered in class or as a piece of homework. (Answers are included)
GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions

(1)
Each revision lessons last approximately an hour each with my classes. I work through the worked examples before students then attempt the set questions. We then discuss the answers and correct any mistakes made. The revision lessons in this collection are Transformations: Describing transformations that have been done. Fractions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & division of..
Revision lessons 2
sjcoopersjcooper

Revision lessons 2

(1)
Here are a three revision lessons I have used for my foundation students. The lessons consist of Area and Circumference of a circle. Solving Equations : letters on one side & letters on both sides. Probability of a single event. Dividing into a given ratio. This is easily 4 hours of work. I have used this with year 11 students revising topics in one hour blocks.
Probability Tree revision lesson
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree revision lesson

(1)
This revision is pitched mainly at foundation students, however it is also ideal for higher level students. Through worked examples the students revise the fact of multiplying "branches" together in order to obtain an outcome for two event. Further examples look at when there are more than two possible outcomes which would imply we add the solutions together. Nicely broken up for a student who is probably struggling with the grade 5 work. There are also several questions for the students to attempt in-between the examples. Answers are provided.
Gradient of a line and y intercept
sjcoopersjcooper

Gradient of a line and y intercept

(1)
This lesson is used in lower school to introduce students to the gradient of a straight line by calculation. The lesson then looks at the general equation of the line. Acknowledging that m stands for the gradient and c the y intercept. There is a worksheet attached to this lesson which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
Types of Solids
sjcoopersjcooper

Types of Solids

(1)
There are approximately four lessons of work here which include the knowledge of Prisms, Pyramids and Spheres. I tend to get the students to copy the examples into their books. Then when they start the worksheet they have something to look back at for guidance.
