Angles in a polygon

Angles in a polygon

(1)
This is a lesson which demonstrates to students the sum of the angles in a variety of polygons through the knowledge of the angles in a triangle. The lesson then looks at a method of finding the interior and exterior angles of regular polygons. This resource also contains a worksheet for either classwork or homework (answers to follow!)
Scatter Diagrams

Scatter Diagrams

(1)
This lesson and worksheet I have used as an introduction to scatter diagrams. Through worked examples students learn how to draw a scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit and use the line of best fit to answer further questions. The worksheet can then be used as a piece of classwork or as a piece of homework. Answers are included. New addition to this lesson: Printable two example sheet and Printable four page booklet containing three questions. The new addition was created during COVID times to ensure that students covered as much work as possible during school time. The two worked examples (worked through at the board) ensured that students moved onto the set questions quicker. The three question booklet was also a quick way to assess whether the students understood what was taught.
Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.
sjcoopersjcooper

Simultaneous equations with one linear and one quadratic equation.

(1)
This lesson is taught once students have a firm understanding of solving simultaneous equations through elimination. Through worked examples students learn how to solve simultaneous equations by the substitution method. Further examples demonstrate its use when looking at points of intersection with a curve and a line. The lesson is completed with a worksheet which can be answered in class or as a piece of homework. (Answers are included)
Unitary Methods for direct and Inverse proportions
sjcoopersjcooper

Unitary Methods for direct and Inverse proportions

(1)
These two lessons have worked examples which demonstrate the methods used for direct proportion and Inverse proportion. Attached to each lesson is a worksheet which can be printed out for students to either answer in class or as a piece of homework.
New GCSE Test Material grades 6 & 7
sjcoopersjcooper

New GCSE Test Material grades 6 & 7

4 Resources
These tests can be used to check whether students have met the standards required for topics which have been labelled as grade 6 or 7 in the new GCSE. Clearly I have listed which topics are tested and students are given this list in advance so that they can revise the highlighted topics. The idea is that students will answer the questions on paper and/or graph paper.
Algebraic Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

Algebraic Fractions

(1)
This lesson consists of a powerpoint of worked examples, which demonstrate how Algebraic fractions are simplified. The collection contains examples of factorising numerator and denominator before cancelling common factors and also includes multiplying and dividing algebraic fractions. The lesson also contains a worksheet, with answers.
A Dozen GCSE Maths Questions worksheet 3 & 4
sjcoopersjcooper

A Dozen GCSE Maths Questions worksheet 3 & 4

(1)
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 higher level new GCSE specification. Answers are also attached. A great way to identify whether students are solid on the topics selected.
Handling Data Revision booklet
sjcoopersjcooper

Handling Data Revision booklet

(1)
This document is a revision booklet I put together for my students over the years. It contains worked examples and notes describing how certain problems are solved.
Flow diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Flow diagrams

(1)
This is a lesson I usually use for year 7 or low ability classes in year 8 or 9. The aim of the lesson is to demonstrate how we change the symbols when working backwards. I teach this lesson before I move onto the solving of simple equations. After the worked examples there is a worksheet which students can complete in class or as a piece of homework.
Circle Theorems

Circle Theorems

7 Resources
This bundle is all the lessons I use for introducing circle theorems to a class. I have included the proofs of circle theorems which I tend to use with the higher groups only.
GCSE Algebra: Drawing straight line graph revision
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Algebra: Drawing straight line graph revision

(1)
This Revision lesson reminds students how we draw graph from an equation in the form y=mx+c. Firstly the member of staff goes through two worked examples before the students tackle one or two on their own before checking the solution at the board. The examples then get more complicated. This revision lesson is aimed at Foundation students.
GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Higher level Algebra Revision

(1)
This revision powerpoint looks at worked examples for the topics of Completing the square and solving quadratics inequalities. The second revision lesson looks at iterative formulae and quadratic sequences. The idea is that the member of staff works through 2 or 3 examples before the student attempts one question at a time. The review of the question then reinforces the students understanding of the topics.
Frequency Polygon & Cumulative Frequency Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how we can convert decimals into either fractions or percentages. Fractions into decimals or percentages and percentages into decimals or fractions. These revision lessons work with the teacher going through a couple of examples, which I get the students to copy down into their books, so that they have something to refer back to later. Then the students answer a number of questions to ensure they understand the work. The I move to the next slide and do much the same. I find that this has really helped with the low ability students moving their learning form short term to long term.
Properties of a velocity time graph revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Properties of a velocity time graph revision

(1)
This revision lesson looks at revising with students the understanding that area under a curve represents distance travelled and the gradient of a tangent represents acceleration when looking at a velocity time graph. The revision lessons is a mixture of worked examples and questions for the students to attempt before reviewing at the board.
Gradient of a line and y intercept
sjcoopersjcooper

Gradient of a line and y intercept

(1)
This lesson is used in lower school to introduce students to the gradient of a straight line by calculation. The lesson then looks at the general equation of the line. Acknowledging that m stands for the gradient and c the y intercept. There is a worksheet attached to this lesson which can be used in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
Fraction: The four rules of number
sjcoopersjcooper

Fraction: The four rules of number

4 Resources
This bundle consists of the four lessons on Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and division of fractions. Each lesson consists of a powerpoint lesson, worksheet and Answers.
Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction
sjcoopersjcooper

Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction

(1)
This lessons introduces the younger students to the first three laws of indices. Through worked examples students develop their understanding of the quick methods used. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework. I used this lesson with a very low ability year 8 class this week and it worked really well.
GCSE Maths : Area & Volume Ratio
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Maths : Area & Volume Ratio

(1)
This powerpoint presentation introduces students to the understanding of area ratio and volume ratio when considering similar shapes. Through a series of worked examples students become more confident with answering such questions. The lesson concludes with a worksheet which can be answered in class or given as a homework.
