Equivalent Fractions

(0)
This lesson is intended for younger students, when first meeting the notion of equivalent fractions. The powerpoint consists of examples where shapes have the same amount shaded areas but divided into different amounts. Hence students can see equivalent fractions as being "the same" or better still equal through area shaded. The lesson also contains a worksheet with answers to backup the lesson.

Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

(0)
Here are two powerpoint lessons which give information and properties to all the types of triangles and quadrilaterals which younger students need to know about. The first lesson looks at equilateral, isosceles, right angled and scalene triangles and lists other properties such lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. The second lesson then looks at the quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, the parallelogram, trapezium and kite. This is concluded with a worksheet and answers. The recent edit now includes examples where students must plot coordinates and then name the polygon drawn.

Calculus Lesson2: Differentiation by rule

(0)
This lesson is a follow on from the lesson on differentiation by first principles. Following that lesson and homework, students should by now have realised a shorter approach with differentiation. This lesson develops that understanding, whilst still remaining with the positive power. There is an assumption here that they would have met Tangents and Normals to the curve through their geometry work. The lesson also contains a worksheet for students to work through.
