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.

Logarithms & Exponentials

4 Resources
These three lessons I usually teach towards the end of year 12 in preparation for the introduction of natural logs in calculus. The lessons introduce students to Logs, the laws of logs. The Algebra used in logs and the Natural log and exponential.
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.
Unitary Methods for direct and Inverse proportions

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.
Probability Tree Diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability Tree Diagrams

(0)
A power point presentation which shows students how to construct and use a Tree diagram through a series of worked examples. Following the presentation there is a worksheet for students to answer either as a piece of classwork or as a homework. Answers are also provided.
GCSE Mathematics : Exact Trig Values
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Mathematics : Exact Trig Values

(0)
This lesson teaches students the exact trig values for the sin cos and tan of 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees. The lesson shows two ways to remember the values by either table or triangles. The lesson is also accompanied with several worksheets. The idea being that one worksheet is given at the end of teaching the lesson for students to demonstrate what they now know. Then throughout the year or two further worksheets can be given to check on them retaining the information taught.
Weekly GCSE Mathematics Mini Test
sjcoopersjcooper

Weekly GCSE Mathematics Mini Test

(0)
This series of over 20 tests (and answers) helps students retain the ability to answer questions on a range of topics. The topics consist of Dividing into a given ratio nth term of a linear sequence Converting decimals into fractions Fractions (add, multiply and divide) Area of triangles, rectangles and circles Converting between mm, cm, m and km Collecting like terms. Removing brackets Solving simple equations Multiplying decimals Percentages of a quantity Expressing as a percentage Compound percentages Probability of a single event. Probability of two events when two spinners are spun Distance/Speed/Time Density/Mass/Volume
Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations with Matrices: Using the unit square

(1)
This lesson consists of a series of examples which demonstrate how a unit square can be used to determine which transformation a given 2x2 matrix represents. Also the unit square can be used to create a 2x2 matrix. The lesson concludes with a set of questions for the students to answer. I tend to use this lesson when teaching the Further Mathematics GCSE.

Drawing straight line graphs

(0)
This lesson shows students how to work out the y coordinates for given x coordinates. Then the results are placed onto a given xy axis and the line drawn. The lesson is accompanied with a worksheet for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Probability

Probability

5 Resources
These three presentations cover lessons from the basics of probability of one event up to the probability of more than one event represented on tree diagrams or on a sample space.
Introduction to Algebra
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Algebra

(0)
This power point presentation is an introduction to Algebra. By the end of the one or two lessons students should have gained a basic understanding for the use of letters and be able to collect together like terms. The structure of the lesson allows the teacher to discuss answers and write them down as the power point in flow.
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.
Arc length & Area of a sector
sjcoopersjcooper

Arc length & Area of a sector

(0)
These two PowerPoints are designed to teach students how to find the arc length of a circle or the area of a sector. The assumption is that students will already know how tho find the area of a circle and the circumference of a circle. Through worked examples students learn how to work out the area of a sector or the length of an arc.
Mathematics: Collection of like terms
sjcoopersjcooper

Mathematics: Collection of like terms

(0)
This is a short revision lesson I use with my low ability students at KS4. However it could be used with KS3 students. The aim is to quickly revise through a few examples and then for them to have ago at a few on the algebra topic collection of like terms.
Linear Sequences revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Linear Sequences revision

(0)
This lesson is aimed at Foundation students struggling to understand the Linear sequence questions found on the GCSE examination papers. Every revision slide consists of a couple of examples followed by a set of questions for the students to attempt. There are additional questions which can be printed out for the students and also the excel document allows you to generate as many questions as you like!
Index Notation
