Coordinate Geometry review worksheet for AS level

(2)
This is a series of questions which assess understanding of linear graphs, tangents, the equations of a circle, and the ability to find points of intersection. It is a useful summary worksheet for AS level students to complete after studying the first chapter on coordinate geometry as part of the Core course. It also provides a useful guide to the content of the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths course, and provides extension material for GCSE students.
Worksheet to practise Simple and Compound interest, and reverse proportion

Worksheet to practise Simple and Compound interest, and reverse proportion

(11)
Practice questions covering a range of problems mainly involving compound growth. There are three questions at the beginning specifying 'simple' interest to remind students that there is a difference between simple growth and compound growth, but the bulk of the worksheet asks students to practice compounding interest over a specified number of time periods, and to apply reasoning to reverse the compounded growth in order to find the original amount.
The four operations: practice with integers, fractions, decimals, surds, algebraic terms

The four operations: practice with integers, fractions, decimals, surds, algebraic terms

(0)
This worksheet is a good starter activity, or the basis of a longer lesson. The key aim is to apply a consistent understanding of each of the four operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, regardless of the topic area. For addition, subtraction and division, the 'denomination' of each term needs to be the same. For example; 4a + 2a, 4a - 2a, and 4a / 2a are all straight forward provided we understand that + means 'get some more', - means 'take some away' and divide means 'put into groups of... or piles of'. For multiplication, we can use 'logical language'; eg 2a x 3b = 6ab hence 2 'root3' x 3 'root 5' = 6 'root 3' 'root 5', which of course can be simplified to 6 'root 15'. Further explanation of this approach to the four operations is provided in the Maths 'Help Booklet' which I have authored and is available for free from the TES site.

Maths: 12 Foundation Number and Algebra assignments

(0)
This is a series of 12 Foundation homework or revision assignments. They are designed to be used in conjunction with my excel, 'Monitoring' document which allows for all results from the Statistics, Pure and Geometry series to be recorded. These foundation papers are aimed at low to middle ability students. The set can alternatively be purchased to include both Foundation and Higher (for middle to high ability students) versions. They are designed for the new GCSE specification in the UK, and would suit any students within the same age range in other countries. This first series focuses on Number and Algebra and are non-calculator papers. They are easy to mark and provide excellent feedback (the monitoring document allows for results in key topic areas to be analysed, as well as progression as students improve their knowledge and understanding. These assignments have led to sustained improvement of Mathematics results in the College in which the author teaches with students excelling at every ability range.
