Combining Ratio (As seen in new Edexcel 1MA1 papers 1-9 GCSE)

(0)
Two interactive geogebra applets that generate two specific type of combining ratio questions as seen in the first two new Edexcel GCSE papers (1MA0) 1-9. Generate as many examples as your students need and model the solution by using the applet to… ==> Reveal the ratios and thier totals (see cover image) ==> Drag the points to highlight matching ratio parts (see cover image) ==> Generate equivalent ratios using the multiplier finger (see cover image) You can use these if you have geogebra installed but it is not a necessity as I have also attached the web links so you can use the applets in your web browser.
Area and prism generator
ward309ward309

Area and prism generator

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that generates most shapes of interest including… ==>triangles ==>squares ==>rectangles ==>parallelograms ==>trapeziums ==>regular…pentagons,hexagons,heptagons,octagons,nonagons,decagons ==>circles …at the press of a button (use the slider to change shape). Good for use with an interactive whiteboard to practice finding the area. This can then be converted into a prism using the ‘add layer’ button so that students can form the links betweeen area and volume. Keep adding layers to generate the prism or use the ‘generate prism’ button to generate a random depth prism. Each layer can be dragged away from the prism to justify mutliplying by the depth. You either need geogebra installed on your machine or use the web link to use the resource within a web browser without the need to install geogebra.
