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!

Frequency Polygon & Cumulative Frequency Revision

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how to draw both Frequency polygons and cumulative frequency curves. This is done through both worked examples and a few for them to have a go at before checking answers at the board. The lesson also reminds students how the median and Interquartile range are found from the cumulative frequency curve.

These worksheets (and answers) look at solving simple equations moving u to solving equations involving a bracket. I use these worksheets initially to compliment the lesson being taught and subsequent worksheets are follow up through out the year to help with retention.
Sequences

GCSE Mathematics KS4: Stem & Leaf Diagrams

(0)
This lesson and worksheet teaches students how to draw a stem and leaf diagram and also how it can be used to calculate the median and range. As a bonus I have also included an Excel worksheet Generator which allows you to create an infinite number of worksheets on stem & leaf for those who require additional practice. The lesson is mainly aimed at key stage 4 students studying GCSE mathematics, however it can also be used in any key stage 3 maths lesson. (Note available for Both PC and Mac)
Decimals

Decimals

(0)
Suitable for both KS2 and KS3 students. Due to COVID the way we teach has altered somewhat. These days I find it easier to have my examples preprinted with students filling in the gaps between examples in class with the aid of the teacher at the front. A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Note: I tend to print the examples as A4 and the workbook as an A5 booklet. Lesson 1: Examples and workbook on Decimal place value. Lesson 2: Examples and workbook on Addition of decimals Lesson 3: Examples and workbook on Subtraction of decimals Lesson 4: Examples and workbook on Multiplication of decimals The examples are also available to buy as a PowerPoint lesson on the shop.

A workbook is then provided which allows the student to answer directly in the book. Furthermore at home students can access a video example or two with the QR code on the front of the workbook (just in case they are struggling at home) Answers are provided and also answers to the examples
GCSE Graded Resources

GCSE Graded Resources

(0)
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.
