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..
Properties of a velocity time graph revision

Properties of a velocity time graph revision

(1)
This revision lesson looks at revising with students the understanding that area under a curve represents distance travelled and the gradient of a tangent represents acceleration when looking at a velocity time graph. The revision lessons is a mixture of worked examples and questions for the students to attempt before reviewing at the board.
Revision lessons 2

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.
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.
GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision

(1)
This revision powerpoint looks at worked examples for the topics of Completing the square and solving quadratics inequalities. The second revision lesson looks at iterative formulae and quadratic sequences. The idea is that the member of staff works through 2 or 3 examples before the student attempts one question at a time. The review of the question then reinforces the students understanding of the topics.
Handling Data Revision booklet
sjcoopersjcooper

Handling Data Revision booklet

(1)
This document is a revision booklet I put together for my students over the years. It contains worked examples and notes describing how certain problems are solved.
Perpendicular Lines
sjcoopersjcooper

Perpendicular Lines

(1)
This lesson is used to introduce students to perpendicular lines. Finding the gradient of a perpendicular line and the equation of such lines. The lesson is followed with a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
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!)
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.
Circle Centre (0,0) radius r
sjcoopersjcooper

Circle Centre (0,0) radius r

(1)
This lesson introduces the students to the circle centre (0,0) radius r. Worked examples look at tangency to the circle and points of intersection.
Spreadsheets to accompany the Three Mathematics papers
sjcoopersjcooper

Spreadsheets to accompany the Three Mathematics papers

(1)
These two spreadsheets have been completed with the three uploaded papers in mind. There are instructions on how to use the spreadsheet. Once the papers have been marked the students individual scores are placed into the spreadsheet question by question. The teacher can then glance to see which topics are class issues and which topics are just problem areas for one or two. There is also the facility to print out an overview per student. Each individual question is RAG rated so that it is easy to identify incorrect answers, partially correct answers and full marks. As I said the spreadsheet is aimed at the three papers I have posted. However it can be modified for other papers used in class. Simply replacing the listed topics an max mark allocation allows the spreadsheet to be used for papers you create or use.
Vertically Opposite angles
sjcoopersjcooper

Vertically Opposite angles

(1)
This lesson and worksheet teaches students, through worked examples, how to work out missing angles when two straight lines cut each other. This Powerpoint can be used for students who struggle with Mathematics or as an introduction for younger students. The worksheet also has an answer sheet provided.
Inverse Functions (GCSE)
sjcoopersjcooper

Inverse Functions (GCSE)

(1)
Lesson and worksheet. The lesson consists of worked examples on how we find the inverse of a function. This lesson continues from the lesson on composite functions. The worksheet allows students to work through a number of questions to show their understanding of inverse functions. Answers are included.
Revision for end of term Assessments
sjcoopersjcooper

Revision for end of term Assessments

(1)
This serious of revision slides has been produced for my students revising for their recent assessments. It can be used with Key stage 2 students, Key stage 3 students and Key stage 4 students studying Foundation at GCSE. The topics covered are Percentages with and without a calculator Fractions with and without a calculator Ratio cancelling down Dividing into a given ratio Algebraic expressions and simplifying Solving simple equations Angles properties. Probability of a single event Area of a rectangle, triangle & Trapezium
Transformations Rotations
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations Rotations

(1)
A lesson demonstrating how to complete the necessary rotations, whether on a grid or involving the xy axis. This lesson also contains a worksheet which can be used in class or as a piece of homework.
Enlargements
sjcoopersjcooper

Enlargements

(1)
These two lessons are used with younger students to introduce Enlargements. The first lesson looks at enlarging shapes with the use of ray lines and compasses. The second lesson looks at the type often seen in the GCSE examination where the enlargement takes place on a set of xy axes.
Right Angled Trigonometry Workbook
sjcoopersjcooper

Right Angled Trigonometry Workbook

(1)
This workbook can be used with the Power point set. It introduces students to labeling up a triangle. Investigate the Sine ratio, Cosine ratio and Tangent ratio. The booklet has a variety of worksheets for each of these individually before mixing it up a little. The booklet then concludes with students having questions where they have to find the labeled angle. The booklet can be printed as an A5 booklet, which I find is easily placed in their books.
Inverse Proportion
sjcoopersjcooper

Inverse Proportion

(1)
This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which an Inverse 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.
Vectors Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Vectors Introduction

(1)
These two lessons are my first two lessons introducing students to a vector. The definition of a vector quantity and knowledge of position vectors, column vector, magnitude of a vector and collinear points. Also through a variety of examples students learn how vectors are used.
The CAST Diagram
sjcoopersjcooper

The CAST Diagram

(0)
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.
