GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

GCSE Foundation Run around game 4

(0)
This activity is aimed at Foundation students who are revising for their GCSE examination. Each round consists of four questions. Print the slides 8 to 13 on A4 paper and place one printed slide per table. Students are put into pairs (either by choice or teacher selection) and are given a copy of slide 14 and a few sheets of pieces of A4 paper. The pairs are designated a starting table and the timer (slide 2) is started. The students are then given 5 minutes to answer the four questions on that table. Once the five minutes is up the students move clockwise to the next table and start the next set of four questions and the timer of slide 3 is started. This continues until all students have completed the six tables worth of questions. The answering of the questions takes no more than 30 minutes. Students then remain at their final table, swap their answer sheet with the nearest table and the answers are produced. At this stage I go through the questions before revealing the answers. In this way the students have had a go at GCSE style foundation questions and have also seen a demonstration as to how they should have been answered. Finally, students add up their score and the highest score get a prize!
Addition of Fractions

Addition of Fractions

(0)
This lesson is a Powerpoint and Worksheet which I have used to teach students how to add fractions together. This lesson is taught once I have covered equivalent fraction. Once the worked examples have been covered students should be given the worksheet to either complete in class or as homework. A Brexit question involving a village turn out for the referendum is a recent addition. Answers to the worksheet are also provided.
Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent Fractions

(0)
This lesson is intended for younger students, when first meeting the notion of equivalent fractions. The powerpoint consists of examples where shapes have the same amount shaded areas but divided into different amounts. Hence students can see equivalent fractions as being "the same" or better still equal through area shaded. The lesson also contains a worksheet with answers to backup the lesson.

The 3 by 3 Matrix

This lesson introduces the students to the 3 x 3 matrix. Students learn how to calculate the determinant, the adjugate and hence the inverse of a 3 x 3 matrix.
Bar Charts

Bar Charts

(0)
This lesson I usually teach to the younger students. I prefer to drawn horizontal bar charts as the labelling is much easier to represent. However there are examples of vertical bar charts in the powerpoint and worksheet. One of the slides is designed to carry out a tally chart in class. Once the tally has been collected you can place the information into the next slide and a horizontal bar chart for the live data will be presented.

Introduction into how to draw the quadratic curve. Lesson demonstrates how to work out coordinates and the how to place them onto a set of axes.
Area of a circle

Area of a circle

(0)
A lesson introduces the students to pi. Students work out for themselves with little guidance that pi is approximately 3 or even 3.1. This also gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce the formula for the area of the circle. The follow up lesson also on this resource has several examples involving finding the areas of circles. The resource also contains a worksheet for students to answer either in class or as a piece of homework. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.

New GCSE grade 7 material: Test 2

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.
