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.

GCSE 9-1 : Maths Assessment revision Bundle
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE 9-1 : Maths Assessment revision Bundle

4 Resources
A total of six GCSE Mathematics examination papers and solutions. Three foundation papers Three Higher papers with overlap from the foundation. Making it easier to assess movements between sets. The bundle also includes a spreadsheet which makes it easier to 1. collate all the students data 2. identify student weakness either individually, as a class or as a department. 3. give thorough feedback to individual students regarding topics and overall progress. Finally these questions are not available to students on the internet. Hence no chance of them cheating the night before! Finally the spreadsheet RAG rates each question per student.
Algebraic Problems involving Angles

Algebraic Problems involving Angles

(0)
This lesson and worksheets looks at algebraic problems which involve constructing equations based on the knowledge of either angles in a triangle angles in a quadrilateral ands associated with parallel lines angles in a parallelogram angles associated with circle theorems. There are two worksheets to backup the worked examples. The second worksheet is similar to the first just in case you need a review and want student to "have another go" Solutions are provided.

Area of irregular shapes

(0)
This lesson is designed for irregular shapes which makes use of students knowledge of rectangles and triangles. The lesson consists of many worked examples plus a worksheet.
GCSE Maths : Factorising trinomials
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Maths : Factorising trinomials

(0)
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.
Transformations of graphs Introduction

Transformations of graphs Introduction

(0)
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.
GCSE Mathematics 9-1: Sequences: Continuing a sequence, using the nth term and finding the nth term

GCSE Mathematics 9-1: Sequences: Continuing a sequence, using the nth term and finding the nth term

(0)
Lesson 1: Continuing a sequence This lesson looks at students being able to continue a sequence from a given rule, or obtaining a pattern from the numbers already given in the sequence. Through worked examples students get their first insight to the work involved with sequences. Lesson 2: Continuing a pattern This lesson concentrates around continuing patterns. Several worked examples look at numerical responses to the patterns generated. I usually teach this lesson after continuing a sequence and before the lesson on using the nth term. Lesson 3: Using the nth term This lesson is always taught after the introduce to continuing sequences. This lesson demonstrates how sequences can be generated by formulae. Also I point out along the way how the sequence going up by a certain number doesn’t imply that we add whatever each time but that it belongs in some way to a particular multiplication table. This, I find, helps with the next lesson on finding the nth term. Lesson 4: Finding the nth term This lesson is mainly about finding the nth term of any linear sequence. Through worked examples students very quickly learn how to find the nth term of sequence such as 5, 8, 11, 14, etc… The lesson also touches on other sequences but through their new found understanding of the linear sequence. This lesson is taught after the lesson on using the nth term and, dependent on age or ability, before the lesson on sequences which involve quadratic solutions. Sequence Workbook This selection of work can easily be printed as an A5 booklet. The booklet consists of questions for students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework and compliment the lessons on sequences I use yearly.
Christmas Mathematics Advent Calendar

Christmas Mathematics Advent Calendar

(0)
Give your classroom a festive look this December. The two advent calendars are designed to be displayed around the classroom in the run up to the Christmas holiday, or as set pieces of work each day. Students can search the classroom walls for the question of the day and answer the question on their sheet. Ideal as a starter or a good conclusion to the lesson. Questions range from Algebra, number work, fractions, decimals, ratio and much more. There are two calendars which can be mixed and matched as you require. Excellent resource to include a little bit of festive fun and revision.

GCSE Graded Resources

GCSE Graded Resources

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and recent lock downs, I have designed a series of graded worksheets which can be used to identify gaps in students work throughout the grades. This first batch looks at the material which should cover most topics in the Foundation Tier, graded from 1 to 5. There are approximately 3 to 4 sheets for each grade (with answers). The idea is that a student is given a grade 1 sheet to complete. Once marked and reviewed, the class teacher can then identify class issues, individual student issues and revise accordingly. The a second grade 1 sheet can be given to see if there is improvement. This can be completed for a third and sometimes a forth time. The same approach is then given to grades 2, 3, 4 and 5. This can also be used to seek what worked in lock down with on line learning and what did not.
Integration by Parts
sjcoopersjcooper

Integration by Parts

(0)
This PowerPoint is a lesson on integration by parts. I first demonstrate how the formula is a rearrangement of the product rule. I show the formula also in words as I find that students generally find this the easiest way to remember it. The lesson contains a number of worked examples for students to follow.
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.
Volume of revolution

Volume of revolution

(0)
This lesson teaches the students how to find the volume of a curve that has been rotated through four right angles about the x-axis. This is done through a series of worked examples.
Surface Area
sjcoopersjcooper

Surface Area

(0)
This lesson looks at finding the surface area of shapes such as cuboids, square based pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres. The lesson also shows a proof for the surface area formula of a cone. However for this students to understand this proof it is essential that they have already met arc length and area of a sector. The lesson contains a number of worked examples.
The Cosine Rule
sjcoopersjcooper

The Cosine Rule

(0)
Lesson introduces students to the Cosine Rule formula which can be used for a variety of triangles. The lesson then has a series of worked examples before ending with a a number of questions for students to complete.

Right Angled Trigonometry question booklet

(0)
This workbook can be used with the Power point set. It introduces students to labeling up a triangle. Investigate the Sine ratio, Cosine ratio and Tangent ratio. The booklet has a variety of worksheets for each of these individually before mixing it up a little. The booklet then concludes with students having questions where they have to find the labeled angle. The booklet can be printed as an A5 booklet, which I find is easily placed in their books.
The Sine Rule
