The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

Circle Centre (a, b) radius r

(0)
This lesson is the second of three lessons on circles. Extending from the circle with centre (0,0) this lesson looks at obtaining the equation of the circle when the centre is elsewhere and a variety of other examples.

GCSE Mathematics revision

7 Resources
These resources can be used for revision with year 10 or year 11 students whilst at the same time being fun! Likewise the foundation set can be used with students in year 9 and possibly year 8 towards the end of year. Each game consists of 24 questions. Each table has a theme, such as Handling Data or Percentages or trigonometry, etc…

A dozen questions foundation 4&5

(0)
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 foundation level new GCSE specification Grades (1 - 5). Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.

GCSE Mathematics Revision Game 6

(0)
GCSE Run around Game 6 This game is aimed at foundation students who have just been revising certain topics. Topics covered in this game are Sequences nth term Solving equations Dividing into a given ratio Factorising Decimals. This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!
Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

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

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.

GCSE 9-1 : A gross of questions for revision at KS4 maths

7 Resources
This brings together a group of worksheets I’ve been using at school as a means of identifying which topics my higher level students are good at and which topics require further work. It consists of 12 sheets each having 12 questions pitched at the higher level for the GCSE mathematics exam.

Probability: Rules of

(0)
This lesson makes use of the Venn diagram and introduces students to the probability of A union B and A intersection B. The students then make use of these formulae in other examples.
