The first resource guides your class through the process of using the real and complex roots of z^n+k=0 to write down its real factors. The introduction includes the important result about the sum of conjugates and then uses equations of the form z^n=1 or z^n=-1 to establish that there is always an even number of complex roots, which can be put into conjugate pairs. It is then shown how each conjugate pair of roots produces a real quadratic factor, while each real root produces a real linear factor. To practise all this there is an exercise with 7 questions for students to complete. Solutions to all the examples and the exercise are included. The second resource contains an exercise with further examination-style questions on this topic. This could be used as additional practice in class or as a homework/test. Answers are provided.

These are two 2-sided worksheets that cover all calculations with fractions. The adding/subtracting worksheet goes step-by-step through the process of making the denominators equal prior to the calculation. The first exercise (12 questions) involves adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers where the denominators match, the second exercise (34 questions) involves adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers where the denominators do not match. The multiplying/dividing worksheet begins with a reminder of the method, together with a few examples to work through as a group. There are then two exercises, each with 20 questions, first to practise multiplying and then to practise dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Fully worked solutions to all questions are provided.

My year 7 class struggled to learn the rules for doing calculations that involved negative numbers so I created these resources to try to help them understand the rules and to give them lots of practice. The first resource focuses on addition and subtraction, with explanations of how the calculations can be understood with reference to a number line, and then exercises with lots of practice (over 150 questions). The second resource focuses on multiplication and division, with a page dedicated to them just practising determining whether the answer of a calculation should be positive or negative, and then an exercise with lots of practice calculations (over 80 questions). The third resource contains mixed questions with all 4 operations (over 60 questions). Answers to all the questions are included. The final resource is a spreadsheet where pupils can practise calculations and get instant feedback on their accuracy. Note that the spreadsheet contains macros so when opening the file users may need to click on “Enable editing” or “Enable macros” for it to function correctly.

This assessment covers all aspects of the exponential models topics for all examination boards. It contains 20 questions, ranging from simple multiple-choice questions that would be worth 1 mark, to demanding multi-stage problems typical of specimen examination questions. An answer sheet is provided for students to work on (with axes provided for questions that require graph work). Fully-worked solutions are included.

This resource is designed to introduce the key properties of exponential and logarithmic graphs that students need to understand for the topic of exponential models. Explaining the key properties of exponential graphs to students who haven’t learned chain rule is tricky so this printable/projectable resource may be a good way to help improve your students’ understanding and save you time as it has examples and exercises already prepared. It begins with learning the shape of exponential graphs by plotting points, drawing the curves and then summarising the properties of each graph (first y=a^x and then y=a x b^x). There is then a short exercise (23 questions) where they practice sketching exponential graphs and determining the equation of a given graph. The next section involves sketching the gradient function for different types of graph (linear, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal) and this work leads towards the idea that the gradient function of an exponential graph is itself exponential. To build on this the students are then given the result for the gradient of y=a^x. The exercise that follows allows them to establish by themselves that for dy/dx=y we require that a = e. Students can then prove (without use of chain rule) that the gradient of y=e^(kx) is y=ke^(kx), a key property of exponential models. There are then some examples and an exercise for students to practise using this result. The final section gets students to plot the graph of y=ln(x) and summarise its properties. Some examples and an exercise of questions connected the graph of y=ln(x) then follow. Answers to all the exercises are included. Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available: /teaching-resource/differentiation-and-integration-with-exponential-and-trigonometric-functions-new-a-level-11981186

These resources will give your class plenty of practice of using the factor theorem and the common questions that follow finding a factor of a cubic polynomial. The first resource focuses on showing that (ax+b) is a factor of f(x) and then using it to write f(x) as a product of a linear and quadratic factor. There is an example to work through as a group and then an exercise with 14 questions - answers are provided. The second resource has 2 sections. The first section focuses on factorising cubics fully, either as a product of a linear and quadratic factor, or as a product of 3 linear factors. The second section focuses on solving f(x)=0 and, in later questions, relates the solutions to the graph of f(x). In total there are 26 questions - answers are provided.

This 2-page resource is a great way to assess your students after teaching them combined graph transformations and the modulus function for the new A level specification. The resource is designed for students to write on the sheet in the spaces or on the axes provided for questions that require sketches. Fully worked solutions are included.

This resource is a great way to cover this whole topic using prepared notes and examples to explain it to your students. Projecting the notes/examples will save you a lot of work on the board and your students will save time by working on the provided spaces and axes when doing sketches. You could also email/print some or all of this for students who have missed lessons or need additional notes/practice/revision. The sections cover the following: 1. Sketching graphs of the form y=mod(f(x)) e.g. y=mod(x-2) 2. Sketching simple transformations of y=mod(f(x)) e.g. y=mod(x)+4 3. Solving equations involving the modulus function. This covers the different types of equations and explains when a sketch may/must be used. e.g. mod(x-4)=6 vs 2x+3=mod(x-1) 4. Solving inequalities involving the modulus function. This covers the different types of inequalities and explains when a sketch may/must be used. e.g. mod(x-4)=mod(2x+1) vs 3x-1=4-mod(x) There are almost 100 questions in total across the different exercises. Answers to all questions in the exercises are provided, including sketches.
