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.

Standard Form with the Calculator

(0)
Introduces students to the designated button on the calculator for Standard form questions. After a series of examples there is a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Geometric Progressions

Geometric Progressions

(1)
This lesson has several worked examples introducing students to the geometric series. The lesson ends with a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework. Recent update includes on extra example.
Transformations: Translations
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations: Translations

(1)
The lesson contains a series of examples demonstrating how an object moves when given a translation. The lesson ends with a worksheet which can be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Pie Charts
sjcoopersjcooper

Pie Charts

(0)
This lesson is a series of examples aimed at students who have met Pie charts in earlier years. The lesson is aimed at re-enforcing the knowledge of pie charts through a series of worked examples. This presentation also includes a worksheet for students to attempt in class or as a piece of homework.
The Parabola
sjcoopersjcooper

The Parabola

(0)
This lesson looks at the Parabola from a Geometric point of view. Sketching the curve from knowing the vertex and key coordinates. The examples also involve some algebraic operations involved with the parabola.
Tangents and Normal to a curve
sjcoopersjcooper

Tangents and Normal to a curve

(0)
This lesson teaches students what is meant by a tangent and normal to a curve. The lesson then works through some examples finding the equation of a given tangent or a given normal.
Stationary Points
sjcoopersjcooper

Stationary Points

(0)
This lesson is an introductory lesson into finding stationary points for a quadratic or cubic. This lesson looks at finding the nature of the stationary points by change of gradient. The lesson concludes with a couple of slides with questions for the students to answer.
Surface Area
sjcoopersjcooper

Surface Area

(1)
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.
Hyperbolic Functions
sjcoopersjcooper

Hyperbolic Functions

(0)
This lesson introduces students to the understanding of Hyperbolic functions through a series of worked examples. Including the curves.
Arc length on a curve
sjcoopersjcooper

Arc length on a curve

(0)
This lesson looks at the integration required when finding the length of section of curve. Through worked examples students will be able understand how the formula is used.
Introduction to Projectiles
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Projectiles

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to projectiles. It is assumed that students are already familiar with the standard formulae used in kinematics when a body moves in one direction. I always start this lesson by throwing the board pen horizontally and students witness that it moves in two directions. We discuss the acceleration acting on the body and hence the first example is on this basis. I follow that up with some more worked examples before giving them a standard diagram for projectiles.
Function of a function rule (chain rule)
sjcoopersjcooper

Function of a function rule (chain rule)

(0)
This lesson is an introduction to the more complicated differentiation. Using the knowledge of basic differentiation these examples introduce students to differentiation by substitution before using the rule. I teach this rule this way first before showing them the quick approach when teaching the product rule and quotient rule.
Circular Measures: Radians, Arc length and area of a sector
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
The exponential function
sjcoopersjcooper

The exponential function

(0)
This lesson introduces students to the exponential function and its link with logs. There are a series of worked examples.
New GCSE Grade 7 material: Test 1
sjcoopersjcooper

New GCSE Grade 7 material: Test 1

(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 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. More tests will follow as I prepare them and then bundles will become available.
Solving simultaneous equations
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving simultaneous equations

(0)
This lesson revises with students how we can solve simultaneous equations by elimination and by substitution through worked examples. I have used this lesson in the past for year 12 AS students, however I have also used it as a revision lesson for year 11 students.
Solving Equations (more complicated)
sjcoopersjcooper

Solving Equations (more complicated)

(0)
This lesson has a series of worked examples showing students how to solve more complicated linear equations and also quadratics. The lesson has been used in the past for year 12 students in September. However it can also be used for the more complicated questions required in year 11 work.
Arithmetic Progressions
sjcoopersjcooper

Arithmetic Progressions

(1)
This lesson furthers a students knowledge from GCSE of the arithmetic progression. It introduces the students to a formula used for the nth term and has a proof for the sum of n term. The lesson then has a series of worked examples.
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.
