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.

Gradient of a Tangent to a curve

(0)
These worked examples revise drawing quadratic curves and then teaches how we can draw a tangent by eye on the curve for different values of x. The examples then demonstrate how we can find the gradient of the tangents drawn. The lesson is accompanied with two worksheets for the students to complete in class or as a piece of homework.
Completing the Square & Quadratic Formula

Completing the Square & Quadratic Formula

(0)
These two lessons cover the topics of completing the square and using the quadratic formula solving quadratics. The worked examples also include a proof of the quadratic formula through completing the square. After a series of worked examples there are questions for the students to complete.

Circular Measures: Radians, Arc length and area of a sector

(0)
This lesson introduces students to the angle measure the Radian. There is a quick proof of the Area of a sector and arc length formulae. Followed by several worked examples on the use of these formulae. It is expected that students would have met the area of a triangle formula in trigonometry before this lesson.
Surface Area

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.

New Grade 6 Material: Test 2 (Non calculator)

(0)
This is a Test I will use to check whether my students have met the standards required for topics which have been labelled as grade 6 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. More tests will follow as I prepare them and then bundles will become available.
Circumference of a circle

Circumference of a circle

(0)
Lesson introduces students again to pi (as with the area resource). However this time students are able to work out the formula for the Circumference of a circle if they have already used my resource for the Area of a circle. The lesson has a variety of examples to be answered at the board and ends with a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework.
The Cosine Rule

Inverse functions

(0)
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.

Mathematics Easter egg hunt

(0)
Mathematics Games to play close to Easter. A series of Mathematics games that can be played in the classroom or even placed around the school play ground for break and lunchtime activities. Each game consists of twelve questions written onto twelve pictured easter eggs. The idea is that the students know the starting card but initially have no idea of the last card. The aim of the game is to answer the questions in the correct order thereby revealing a code. The student can then submit the correct code to the teacher and maybe receive a reward of some kind! The games consist of : Addition Addition & Subtraction Multiplication Long Multiplication Fractions of a quantity Percentages of a quantity Solving algebraic equations

Drawing Quadratic Curves Revision

(0)
This PowerPoint is a revision lesson were students revise the ability to work out y coordinates for a given quadratic curve and then draw the curve. The lesson is structured so that they follow two examples at the board before attempting the next two by themselves, before looking at a couple of more complicated questions. Then once again having a go at a couple. The revision lesson (as with most of my revision lessons) are designed to last at least one hour in length. I tend to get the students to copy the examples in their book.

General GCSE Maths grade 1 to 3 revision

(0)
This revision lesson I put together based on material I found most year 11 foundation students were struggling with. The revision mainly focuses on the students ability to apply the four rules of number to some literacy based question. The second revision lesson I have added is on number machines as I found that students were fine with using the number machine one way but poor on reverse. Hence practice makes perfect!

This is an assembly that I put together for my form to deliver to their year group in assembly. Each student was given a sentence to deliver and the slides were advanced at the appropriate speed. The picture of William and is family was taken in 1915 prior to him leaving to join the battle. William was killed in action in 1917.

Introduction lessons to fractions of a quantity ideal for Key stage 2 or key stage 3 children. The first lesson looks at one half, one third, etc... of a quantity followed by one or two worksheets if required. The second lesson then looks at slightly more complicated fractions of a quantity. Again with worksheets to accompany the lesson.
