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.

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.
Solving Simple Equations

Solving Simple Equations

(0)
A series of worksheets involving solving equations. Designed for students meeting Algebra in the early stages.
Gradient of a Tangent to a curve
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Logarithms & Exponentials

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.
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.
Area of a circle
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Partial Fractions (Using the coverup rule)
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations of Graphs: Stretches and reflections

(1)
This lesson is used to develop an understanding of the transformations of graphs when given in the format y = f(x). This lesson concentrates on the stretches of curves including reflections. Initially the examples are to develop their understanding. Whereas the further examples are for students to follow the rules developed. The lesson ends with a slide which can be printed for students to attempt on their own.
Integration by Parts
sjcoopersjcooper

Integration by Parts

(0)
This PowerPoint is a lesson on integration by parts. I first demonstrate how the formula is a rearrangement of the product rule. I show the formula also in words as I find that students generally find this the easiest way to remember it. The lesson contains a number of worked examples for students to follow.
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.
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.
Probability
sjcoopersjcooper

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.
The 3 by 3 Matrix
sjcoopersjcooper

The 3 by 3 Matrix

(0)
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.
Functions
sjcoopersjcooper

Functions

4 Resources
The bundle covers the function work on the new GCSE. Looking at composite functions, inverse functions and transformations of graphs.
Transformations
sjcoopersjcooper

Transformations

5 Resources
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
Probability: Set theory & Venn diagrams
sjcoopersjcooper

Probability: Set theory & Venn diagrams

(0)
This lesson is used to ensure that all students are aware of the notations used in a Venn diagram and the notations that will be used in more Advanced probability work.
A Dozen questions Foundation level
sjcoopersjcooper

A Dozen questions Foundation level

(2)
This worksheet can be used as a lesson check or piece of homework. It is designed so that the student or teacher can identify from the twelve topics which they CAN do and which topics need further work.
