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 calculations without calculators

(1)
The series of examples demonstrates to students how to tackle problems involving numbers written in standard form. The examples end with a worksheet which could be printed for students to answer in class or as a piece of homework.
Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

Types of Triangles & Quadrilaterals

(0)
Here are two powerpoint lessons which give information and properties to all the types of triangles and quadrilaterals which younger students need to know about. The first lesson looks at equilateral, isosceles, right angled and scalene triangles and lists other properties such lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. The second lesson then looks at the quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, the parallelogram, trapezium and kite. This is concluded with a worksheet and answers. The recent edit now includes examples where students must plot coordinates and then name the polygon drawn.
Solving Trig equations continued.

Solving Trig equations continued.

(0)
This lesson makes continued use of the CAST diagram for solving trig equations in a given range. The lesson is used to introduce the quadratics that we see in trig equations and the necessary trig identities needed to solve them.
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.
Introduction to Bearings
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Bearings

(1)
This lesson introduces students to Bearings. The lesson demonstrates how we measure a bearing through a series of examples. Followed by a number of examples where students will draw bearings. The last set of examples are more detailed with a set of instructions to follow in order to answer the question. The lessons are accompanied with two worksheets which can be completed in class or as a piece of homework.
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.
Decimal Search
sjcoopersjcooper

Decimal Search

(1)
A lesson showing students how to find the solution to an algebraic expression through decimal search. The lesson also includes two questions for students to attempt.
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: 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.
Direct & Inverse Proportion Revision
sjcoopersjcooper

Direct & Inverse Proportion Revision

(0)
This revision lesson looks at the ability to answer a variety of questions related to direct or inverse proportion. As with the other revision lessons in the shop, the lesson is constructed with multiples of two worked examples before students attempt some similar questions. Answers are provided.
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.
Introduction to Matrices
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to Matrices

(0)
Power point lesson with worked examples demonstrates to students how we add/subtract matrices. How to multiply matrices together and then several questions for the students to answer. The lesson is aimed at those students covering the Further Maths GCSE
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.
Introduction to differentiation
sjcoopersjcooper

Introduction to differentiation

(0)
This lesson introduces students to differentiation by first principles. I have always insisted that students use this as a first stepping stone to differentiation before using the rule.
Finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence
sjcoopersjcooper

Finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence

(0)
This power point teaches students how to find the nth term for any sequence which is quadratic. The method adopted in the power point can also be used for linear sequences. Note: The preview does not fully show the notations used in this power point. This only appears in full purchase.
Trigonometry: Double angle formulae
sjcoopersjcooper

Trigonometry: Double angle formulae

(0)
Having taught the Compound Angles the next lesson is this lesson which looks at the double angle formulae and examples of situations where the knowledge is required.
Algebraic Long Division
sjcoopersjcooper

Algebraic Long Division

(0)
This lesson introduces students to long division for algebraic fractions. I usually teach this lesson before the lessons on factor and remainder theorem.
