Calculating the mean

Calculating the mean

(0)
This Powerpoint consists of a variety of worked examples which demonstrate how we can calculate the mean. I use this lesson with students who have probably met the topic before but require a revisit to the topic. I usually use this lesson before I introduce student to the "fx" column and therefore questions involving the frequency table.
Angles at a point

Angles at a point

(0)
This lesson and worksheet teaches students, through worked examples, how to work out missing angles when drawn around a point by calculation. This Powerpoint is used for students who struggle with Mathematics or as an introduction for younger students. The worksheet also has an answer sheet provided. I have updated the background of the slides to be more user friendly for students with dyslexia. Many more lessons available in the shop https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/sjcooper

Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions

Decimal, Fraction & percentage conversions

(1)
This revision lesson reminds students how we can convert decimals into either fractions or percentages. Fractions into decimals or percentages and percentages into decimals or fractions. These revision lessons work with the teacher going through a couple of examples, which I get the students to copy down into their books, so that they have something to refer back to later. Then the students answer a number of questions to ensure they understand the work. The I move to the next slide and do much the same. I find that this has really helped with the low ability students moving their learning form short term to long term.
Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction

Laws of Indices: Algebraic Introduction

(1)
This lessons introduces the younger students to the first three laws of indices. Through worked examples students develop their understanding of the quick methods used. The lesson is backed up with a worksheet which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework. I used this lesson with a very low ability year 8 class this week and it worked really well.
Frequency polygons and Histograms
sjcoopersjcooper

Frequency polygons and Histograms

(1)
These two lessons and two worksheets I have used to introduce the basic knowledge of a histogram and then use this knowledge to draw a frequency polygon. The histogram powerpoint and worksheet leaves the class widths at equal intervals. The frequency polygon powerpoint is then taught the next lesson to show students that it is quicker to draw a frequency polygon (and use it for comparisons) rather than a histogram. The worksheets can be used in class or given as a piece of homework.
Circle Centre (0,0) radius r

Circle Centre (0,0) radius r

(1)
This lesson introduces the students to the circle centre (0,0) radius r. Worked examples look at tangency to the circle and points of intersection.

Paper 3 Mathematics Papers for Foundation & Higher

(1)
Here are two papers for mathematics examinations aimed at calculator for foundation and higher. This completes at three paper assessment. These papers can not be obtained by students on the internet. Hence are ideal for end of term (or year) assessments. Solutions are included.
GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions
sjcoopersjcooper

GCSE Revision Lessons: Transformations & Fractions

(1)
Each revision lessons last approximately an hour each with my classes. I work through the worked examples before students then attempt the set questions. We then discuss the answers and correct any mistakes made. The revision lessons in this collection are Transformations: Describing transformations that have been done. Fractions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & division of..
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. The answer sheet provided here is for the free resource I have provided on the TES.

Finding the equation of a straight line revision.

(2)
This revision lesson is aimed at higher level students and looks at finding the equation of a straight line and also finding the equations of lines perpendicular to other lines. The lesson consists of both worked examples and questions for the students to answer. The lesson should last approximately one hour. However the extras could take that up to many hours!
