Stem and Leaf Diagrams

(33)
Stem and Leaf Worksheets for the students to write on. Designed for the students to firstly put the numbers in the correct rows and then sort them. One leaf per square. Helps students identify modal classes and comparison between stem and leaf and bar chart. Once the sorted stem and leaf diagram is complete students can then use it to find the range and the median. Starts with whole numbers, then decimals and then back to back stem and leaf diagrams. Included is a short homework task to test understanding. I have used this resource with both KS3 and KS4 students depending on their ability.

Mathematical Treasure Hunt - Various

(21)
The cards are placed in a large space, eg. classroom and corridor. Students are given a starting number which they write down and then locate. Answering the question on the card they write it down and then find the next number. The first group to return to their starting number is the winner. The last card gives the correct sequence of numbers. (But the students will have all started at a different number in the looping sequence) I had my gifted students design their own treasure hunts as a homework task using my blank template. Their initials were used for the treasure hunt. The blank template and an answer grid are included. To the best of my knowledge I have checked they are correct. If they are not please do inform me.

Which average to use

Activity for students to discuss which average is most appropriate for the information they are given on a card. I have taught this using a Venn Diagram with over lapping regions so the students can decide if they think two or all three averages are good to use for the given information.

Classroom Display of Casio fx-991EX

Wanted a large calculator to display in my teaching room for reference and to show where the special buttons are on the new Casio fx991 to my pupils. Was unable to find one in an online search so I made one. The dimensions of the completed calculator are given in the filename. For the medium and smaller one my jigsaw skills were not as refined as the larger one, but they all fit together in the end. Depends on the space you have to display one. I am hoping it will be a useful tool when explaining all the functions that are available and useful to the students I teach.

After bar chart lesson with a template that my year 7 class did particularly bad at reading correctly the scale on the vertical axis I made this for a subsequent lesson. Worksheet doesn’t take long to complete, After some teaching and resources from another TES contributor (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/reading-scales-11241622) and treasure hunt (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/reading-scales-treasure-hunt-6225314) lasted approximately 45minutes in total. Worksheet could be used as a starter/plenary/homework.

Use this to ensure students can correctly read a scale. Use the protractor one for angles and when I come to teach pie charts. Originally on “Quizdom” format, but works just as well as a powerpoint. It works best as part of a starter in the run up to the main lesson.

Quadratic Sequences by pattern spotting

(3)
Using the powerpoint to teach my top set in year 8 quadratic sequence formula. I have used it with middle ability KS4 group as well. It builds nicely onto the work I have been doing on linear sequences. Students are told by the teacher the second difference being a constant means that the sequence is quadratic. They are then told to trust the teacher that having this number gives the first part of the sequence of an^2 + bn +c. I…e. the value of a. Using this they build a table up to find the missing values and using knowledge on linear sequences find the remainder of the sequence. They are then given the accompanying worksheet to practice this skill. Or you could use a similar exercise in a textbook.
