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.

The series of worksheets and worksheet generator looks at a variety of ratio questions students could meet in the new GCSE examination. The first worksheets look at the more basic dividing into a given ratio. subsequent worksheets look at the more complicated ratio questions that appear on the papers and many students struggle to answer. The reason behind the generated question excel package is that you can generate an infinite number of worksheets. Hence students can have endless practice at this questions. Alternatively you can generate a complete set of different questions so that each member of the class has their own set to answer!

This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to add fractions together. This lesson is taught once I have covered equivalent fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students should be given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. A Brexit question involving a village turn out for the referendum is a recent addition. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.
Equivalent Fractions

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.
Bar Charts
sjcoopersjcooper

Bar Charts

(0)
This lesson I usually teach to the younger students. I prefer to drawn horizontal bar charts as the labelling is much easier to represent. However there are examples of vertical bar charts in the powerpoint and worksheet. One of the slides is designed to carry out a tally chart in class. Once the tally has been collected you can place the information into the next slide and a horizontal bar chart for the live data will be presented.
