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.

Subtracting numbers

(0)
This lesson shows younger children how to subtract numbers when using the column method. Each example is worked through and students can see clearly each step. There are plenty of examples so that children can grasp the techniques involved. The latter examples involve an element of literacy to the question.
Inverse Functions (GCSE)

Inverse Functions (GCSE)

(1)
Lesson and worksheet. The lesson consists of worked examples on how we find the inverse of a function. This lesson continues from the lesson on composite functions. The worksheet allows students to work through a number of questions to show their understanding of inverse functions. Answers are included.
Calculating the mean from a frequency table

Calculating the mean from a frequency table

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean by using the "fx" column. The lesson starts with students asked to calculate the mean of a large set of data. Next by placing the data into a tally chart it is easy to show how much quicker it is to calculate the mean when presented in this format rather than a list of numbers.
The understanding of f(x)
sjcoopersjcooper

The understanding of f(x)

(1)
This Powerpoint is used to introduce students to the expression f(x). Worked examples demonstrate how f(x) can be used algebraically. Solving equations or substituting x for other quantities.
Area & Perimeter
sjcoopersjcooper

Area & Perimeter

5 Resources
A collection of PowerPoints on Area of a rectangle, triangle, trapezium and Circle or part circle. The collection also looks at the Perimeter of a rectangle and the circumference of a circle or part circle. Finally there is a collection of worksheets for the above topics.
Area an Perimeter of a rectangle

Area an Perimeter of a rectangle

(0)
These two lessons I usually teach to year 7 students. However it could be taught at primary of even higher than year 7, if students struggle with area and perimeter. The powerPoints consist of worked examples demonstrating how we find the area of a rectangle or perimeter.
Proof by Induction
sjcoopersjcooper

Proof by Induction

(0)
This lesson is used to introduce students, through worked example, to the topic of proof by induction.
Differentiation by first principles
sjcoopersjcooper

Differentiation by first principles

(1)
This is a second lesson on this topic. This method approaches the topic using f(x) and f(x+h). The worksheet can be given to the students in the form “y = " or as " f(x) =”, depending on the exam board used.

Four lessons designed for key stage 3 but could be used earlier or as revision at key stage 4. Bundle contains lessons on Reflections, Rotations, Enlargements and Translations
Iterative Formulae
sjcoopersjcooper

Iterative Formulae

(0)
This lesson teachers students about the iterative formula. The ability to identify why there is a root between two points. The ability to generate an iterative formula. The presentation also demonstrates that not all iterative formulae work. The lesson follows with a worksheet for the students to attempt either in class or as a piece of homework. Answers are included.
Direct Proportion
sjcoopersjcooper

Direct Proportion

(1)
This lesson demonstrates the various ways in which a direct proportion question could be worded. Then through a series of worked examples, students learn how to answer questions involving direct proportion. The lesson contains a worksheet and answers which can be completed in class or set as a piece of homework.
Proportion

Proportion

3 Resources
This bundle is a collection of lessons that I tend to use in year 8 or 9 to teach students direct and inverse proportion. Starting with numerical problems before looking at the more algebraic problems that we see at GCSE
Constructing Triangles
sjcoopersjcooper

Constructing Triangles

(1)
Three lessons on how to construct Triangles. Each lesson has a relevant worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. Each worksheet also has a solution sheet. First lesson looks at constructing triangles when given all three sides. Second lesson looks at constructing triangles when given one side and two angles. Third lesson looks at constructing triangles when given two sides and one angle.
Angles in a polygon
sjcoopersjcooper

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!)
