Lesson and questions showing students how to solve inequalities involving quadratics. This topic is relatively new to the GCSE grading 1 to 9.

This activities are aimed at key stage 3 students but could be used as revision for 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!

This lesson has been used over the years as an introduction to factorising initially the basic trinomials before looking at the more complicated trinomials. The lesson also consists of a worksheet with solutions for students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework.

These two lessons and worksheets are lessons which cover the translations of graphs and the knowledge of stretching a graph by a given scale factor. The lesson is aimed at the students working out the translation which takes place by initially drawing certain graphs and then linking them the original graph drawn. This is then followed by a series of examples. The second lesson is similar in that the students are encouraged to draw a series of graphs before linking them to the original as a stretch. The lesson then continues with a series of worked examples. Both lessons have a worksheet with solutions.

This bundle of work consists of three lessons with worksheets. Lesson one : Collection of like terms. This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to collect like terms when simplifying a series of terms. Lesson two : Simplifying expressions This lesson and two worksheets looks at multiplying terms together where algebra is involved. (At the same time revising the knowledge of - x - or - x +, etc) Lesson three : Substitution into formulae This lesson and two worksheets covers the ability to substitute numerical values into simple algebraic expressions Two worksheets have been given per lesson so that if the class has an issue with the first worksheet, then a review of the work can take place with the follow up worksheet used to demonstrate improvement. These lessons are suitable as an introduction to Algebra or for the younger students who have little knowledge in Algebra.

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.

These two lessons are used to revise the variety of methods we have for calculating the probability of some event.

This short lesson demonstrates to students the methods available when testing whether two events are independent or not.

This is the third of three lessons on circles aimed at Advanced level. This lesson looks at circle touching externally or internally.

A series of slides which help students learn as a class their multiplcation tables. A teacher can jump to a particular times table for students to watch has the times tables pop up when directed. Also there is a final slide which I've found useful for some students.

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.

A lesson teaching students the general integrals they need to know for the A2 material of calculus. A worksheet is also attached which can be used as classwork or as a piece of homework.

Snap or Pairs Here is a printable set of cards which can be used for one of two games. Snap The 54 cards are shuffled and divided equally between two students. Students then turn the cards up one at a time and work out the multiplication (or division) on that card. If that card matches the card on top of another player’s pile, the player who says “snap” first wins the pile of cards. The winner is the person who ends up with the entire pile of cards. Or if you choose to end the game earlier, the player with the most cards. Pairs Alternatively, all 54 cards are placed face down. Players then take it in turns to turn over two cards and work out the value for each card. If the two cards have matching answers the player puts the two cards in front of them as winning cards. This process is continued until all cards have been matched. The winner of the game is the person with the most cards in front of them.

This lesson follows the lessons taught on differentiation. The opening slide introduces integration as the reverse of differentiation. Then through a variety of examples students get used to integration.

This second lesson on standard integrals includes the knowledge of integration of trig functions and the use of the "1/a" notation. Worksheet is included fir students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework.

This lesson draws together two earlier lessons. One on Tangents and normals to a curve. The second on Parametric Differentiation. The lesson consists of a few worked examples.

A power point which helps students learn their timestables.

The series of worked examples look at factorising and its uses. The examples address the ability to simplify algebraic fractions by factorising. There are then several questions for the students to then answer.

The worksheet can be used in class or as a piece of homework for student to demonstrate their ability to add number together. Students could write on the sheet, however I often have them answer on paper or in their books.

This lesson looks at the integration required when finding the length of section of curve. Through worked examples students will be able understand how the formula is used.
