Ordering Numbers 2

This is a slightly more challenging activity (or extension from previous ordering decimals activity) where the numbers to be ordered are not all decimals ……

Ordering numbers cards

Ordering Numbers 1

Putting numbers in order is something that students often find incredibly difficult. I have found that using cards activities, where students can physically move the numbers around to see which order ‘looks right’ really helps. A lesson plan and a set of deciamsl to order is attached - to make it more challenging, you can ask them to order some ascending and some descending!!

GCSE Mock gap analysis

 It’s that time of year again - mock exams for Y11. For anyone who is using the new Edexcel linear MOCK papers (as opposed to Specimen papers) and wants to complete a gap analysis for their students, here it is! GCSE Maths Edexcel mock analysis

AS Maths - another assessment

In rummaging in my files and folders, I have found a second assessment for Y12 - set towards Christmas if I remember correctly. Anyway, here it is if it is of use to anyone.  core-1-skills-test-2.doc  core-1-test-2-mark-scheme.doc  as-core-1-test-2-analysis.xls  core-1-test-2-review-sheet.doc 

Algebra Domines

There are loads of possible algebra domino activities - here’s a lesson plan for one that I taught a little while ago….algebra-skills-1-simplifying-expressions.doc

Comparing Numbers?

Comparing decimals, fractions & percentages? Heres a card activity containing several sets (numbered in corner of cards) where students have to put them in order - either ascending or descending. Some easier sets and some more challenging ones!

Trigonometric Identities

 And here’s something to keep Y13 occupied. This activity is useful in developing students’ confidence in tackling proofs of trigonometric identities. It does need a bit of preparation - cutting up each set and putting them in envelopes so that students can sort them into the correct order - but has always proved a worthwhile activity.

AS Level Maths

Hopefully new Y12 students are settling into their A Level course and making good progress. Attached is an example of a Core 1 monitoring assessment used with the Edexcel AS Level course - complete with answers,  gap analysis and AFL feedback form for students.
