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.

Completing the Square & Quadratic Formula

(0)
These two lessons cover the topics of completing the square and using the quadratic formula solving quadratics. The worked examples also include a proof of the quadratic formula through completing the square. After a series of worked examples there are questions for the students to complete.
Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)

Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)

(0)
This short series of examples demonstrates how we can use the coverup rule to quickly place a given algebraic fraction into partial fractions. The examples also includes areas where partial fractions is useful.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to differential equations which is required at Core 4 level and also in the later mechanics work. There are several worked examples which demonstrate how to separate he variables and then use their knowledge of integration.
Circumference of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

Circumference of a circle

(0)
Lesson introduces students again to pi (as with the area resource). However this time students are able to work out the formula for the Circumference of a circle if they have already used my resource for the Area of a circle. The lesson has a variety of examples to be answered at the board and ends with a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
Pythagoras Theorem Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Pythagoras Theorem Introduction

(0)
This is a power point presentation which introduces students to the knowledge of Pythagoras' Theorem. It includes many worked examples. I usually teach this over two lessons.
Area of a Triangle and Trapezium
sjcoopersjcooper

Area of a Triangle and Trapezium

(0)
These two PowerPoint presentations teach students how we find the area of a triangle and a trapezium. Now that students must learn the formula for the area of a trapezium I have shown how the formula is created through the knowledge of the area of a triangle. Through worked examples students learn how to apply these formulae.
Subtraction of Fractions

Subtraction of Fractions

(0)
This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to subtract fractions. This lesson is taught once I have covered addition of fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students are given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.
Division of Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Division of Fractions

(0)
This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to divide fractions. This lesson is taught once I have covered multiplication of fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students are given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.
The Parabola
sjcoopersjcooper

The Parabola

(0)
This lesson looks at the Parabola from a Geometric point of view. Sketching the curve from knowing the vertex and key coordinates. The examples also involve some algebraic operations involved with the parabola.
Introduction to Projectiles

Introduction to Projectiles

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to projectiles. It is assumed that students are already familiar with the standard formulae used in kinematics when a body moves in one direction. I always start this lesson by throwing the board pen horizontally and students witness that it moves in two directions. We discuss the acceleration acting on the body and hence the first example is on this basis. I follow that up with some more worked examples before giving them a standard diagram for projectiles.
Solving Equations (more complicated)
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Equations (more complicated)

(0)
This lesson has a series of worked examples showing students how to solve more complicated linear equations and also quadratics. The lesson has been used in the past for year 12 students in September. However it can also be used for the more complicated questions required in year 11 work.
Area of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

Area of a circle

(0)
A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.
Drawing the Quadratic Curve
sjcoopersjcooper

Drawing the Quadratic Curve

(0)
Introduction into how to draw the quadratic curve. Lesson demonstrates how to work out coordinates and the how to place them onto a set of axes.
Expressing recurring decimals as fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Expressing recurring decimals as fractions

(0)
The lesson teaches students how to express a variety of recurring decimals as fractions. The lesson ends with a worksheet which could be printed for students to complete in class or as a piece of homework.
Introduction to Standard Form
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Standard Form

(0)
Lesson introduces students to standard form. Examples demonstrate how to express a number in standard form or as an ordinary number. Lesson ends with a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Transformations and Matrices
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations and Matrices

(0)
This Power point demonstrates to students that several 2 x 2 matrices can be used to complete certain transformations. Following from the examples there are several questions that the students can attempt.
Introduction to solving equations
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to solving equations

(0)
The package here contains both worked examples and printable worksheets. The lessons start with very simple equations and shows how they can be solved. The lessons increase with difficulty to a reasonable standard for students aged 9, 10 or 11. Or for students who struggle with this topic at the higher ages.
Types of Angles
