Drawing other standard graphs

(0)
This lesson is a follow on from the lessons involving drawing the quadratic curve. The lesson consists of a couple of worked examples on drawing standard curves, followed by information about some standard graphs and their shape. The lesson also has an worksheet for students to tackle in class or as a piece of homework.
Sequences

Sequences

(0)
This series of worksheets looks at sequences. Continuing a sequence, the nth term of a linear sequence and the nth term of a quadratic sequence. I use these worksheets initially to accompany the lessons being taught and then as followup work to help with retention.

Problems with Quadratics (including Fractions)

(0)
The series of worked examples look at factorising and its uses. The examples address the ability to simplify algebraic fractions by factorising. There are then several questions for the students to then answer.

PowerPoint which helps teach students times tables.

(0)
A series of slides which help students learn as a class their multiplcation tables. A teacher can jump to a particular times table for students to watch has the times tables pop up when directed. Also there is a final slide which I've found useful for some students.
Multiplication Tables Game

Multiplication Tables Game

(0)
Snap or Pairs Here is a printable set of cards which can be used for one of two games. Snap The 54 cards are shuffled and divided equally between two students. Students then turn the cards up one at a time and work out the multiplication (or division) on that card. If that card matches the card on top of another player’s pile, the player who says “snap” first wins the pile of cards. The winner is the person who ends up with the entire pile of cards. Or if you choose to end the game earlier, the player with the most cards. Pairs Alternatively, all 54 cards are placed face down. Players then take it in turns to turn over two cards and work out the value for each card. If the two cards have matching answers the player puts the two cards in front of them as winning cards. This process is continued until all cards have been matched. The winner of the game is the person with the most cards in front of them.
Percentages

Percentages

(0)
This spreadsheet will generate infinite worksheets for percentage questions. The spreadsheet will also provide the answers. Once the sheet is generated print the sheet and print the answers. Then change the worksheet number to 2 or 3, extra and watch a completely new worksheet get generated. Alternatively the spreadsheet can be projected onto the board and students answer from the board. Then at an appropriate time the answers can be shown by changing the column hiding the answers back to black font.

Constructing Equations

(0)
This lesson teaches students, through worked examples, how we construct equations. The lessons quickly moves onto solving the constructed equations. A worksheet is also provided which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. I usually teach this lesson after a series of lessons on solving equations. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/introduction-to-solving-equations-11225938

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.

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.

Calculating the mean

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean. I use this lesson with students who have probably met the topic before but require a revisit to the topic. I usually use this lesson before I introduce student to the "fx" column and therefore questions involving the frequency table.
