Fractions and percentages with a calculator
september 2011 by keithpeter
Covers a little revision on metric conversion and finding the HCF of two numbers to motivate cancelling down (section A, B). Then finding value of a fraction using a calculator (C) and writing one quantity as a fraction of another (D). Moves into finding the value of a percentage (E) and then writing one quantity as a percentage of another (F). Brief look at percentage increase and decrease (G) and Index numbers, new on the GCSE syllabus (H). This handout is used to focus a lesson delivered in a community centre with a small flip-chart. There are card sorting activities and worksheets to go with it.

Quick module 5 questions
june 2011 by keithpeter
These questions were written to go with a set of revision flashcards downloaded from TES net. I selected the flashcards relevant to Module 5 of the AQA GCSE (most of them apart from the data handling ones).
The questions on this worksheet are designed to mix some of the 'tricky' questions that are found on the Module 5 with the more straightforward calculation questions.

Regular polygons investigation table
march 2011 by keithpeter
Just an A4 sheet with a table to capture data about regular polygons. The columns are headed Name, Number of sides, Total interior angle, Interior angle, Exterior angle. There are six rows, and my lesson plan is to look at the equilateral triangle, the square, the pentagon, the hexagon, the heptagon and the octagon and then go for a formula based on the patterns.

One side A4 handout with regular polygons
march 2011 by keithpeter
A triangle, a square, a pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and an octagon. The polygons with the larger sides are scaled up. Designed for partitioning into triangles, and for working out interior and exterior angles.

Quadrilaterals example sheet
march 2011 by keithpeter
Just a pdf with a selection of quadrilaterals including a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a kite (upside down but not rotated), an isosceles trapezium, a trapezium with one end at right angles to the parallel lines, and a couple of 'random' quadrilaterals. Designed for use with the quadrilaterals property table and the quadrilaterals 'true/false' sheet.

Module 1 probability practice questions for GCSE
january 2011 by keithpeter
Two sides A4 with a summary of the basic formulas/ideas in a table (probability formula, expected frequency formula, probabilities add to one formula).
Four questions: complete the table on a spinner with expected frequency, balls in a bag, fraction line question (find events that will have a probability of a given fraction), and a two way frequency table question.
The fraction line question went down very well tonight,

Number paper practice questions for gcse
january 2011 by keithpeter
22 questions about basic number work (no ratio or fractions addition, they come later) with little vocabulary or context, mostly symbols including the 'fill in the gaps' questions.
Then 10 story questions, including a two stage percentage change question and a reverse percentage question.
Both with numerical answers, two sides A4.

Data: box and whisker plot summary and question
january 2011 by keithpeter
Just a quick summary of the box and whisker plot and a question with the min, lq, median, uq and max given and a scaled grid to draw the chart.
Meant as a quick 10 minute revision task and a summary for revision by the students nearer the Module 1 exam.

Data: scatter diagram question
january 2011 by keithpeter
Another one side 10 minute question to check recall of the vocabulary, spotting the outliers and drawing line of best fit. Data set about age and blood pressure after exercise. One data point has been fiddled so it is clearly an outlier. Asks for how removing this point would change the correlation. Line of best fit and a prediction question.

Data: Cumulative Frequency Diagram question
january 2011 by keithpeter
One side A4 with a frequency table, a spare column for the cumulative frequencies and a grid with scales to plot the curve on. Questions ask for median, quartiles and iqr. Also a question about what percentage more than a certain value of the variable.
Meant for a quick 10 minute revision exercise for Module 1 exam soon, and so the students have (another) one side summary of cumulative frequency.

Just for revision for the module 1 exams soon. A frequency diagram question with grid and data set all on one side of A4.
I quickly sketch the answers on the interactive whiteboard using 'overlay', then we make some revision notes based on what each student finds they need to remember.

Graphs and coordinates part 1
january 2011 by keithpeter
Three sides introducing (x,y) notation and the patterns associated with a straight line graph. Some work on coordinate geometry (i.e. find the coordinate to complete the rectangle/isosceles triangle/kite). Plotting from formulas for simple cases. Idea that the constant in the y=3x +1 type formula controls how far up the Y axis the line is...
Graph grids with points and labels produced using pyxplot 8.01, and nice they look as well. Page about using this software coming soon.
