I am now a retired teacher having taught for over 40 years in the UK at secondary level. I wanted to share my love of Mathematics and teaching by providing a good set of resources which will more than cover all your needs for as many topics as I can and at good value for money. I am trying to cover many topics from foundation level GCSE up to grade 9 at higher level in a way that is interesting and relevant. I hope you like my style !

The Normal Distribution + Answers

(0)
This is a pair of PDF worksheets covering the introduction to the Normal distribution. The first sheet has approximately 30 questions, which boil down to using the calculator and standardization. Questions involve finding, p(z > a), p(x < a), finding the mean, the standard deviation and those questions that involve finding both. In total there are over 80 subquestions - this is a great resource for examples, homework and classwork - really too many questions. The second sheet is around 30 questions on practical applications of the Normal (modelling) - these boil down to the student needing to interpret worded questions into the basic format given in sheet 1 All answers are included.

Rearranging Simple Equations - with answers

(1)
I wrote this sheet to meet the needs of GCSE Foundation level students - keeping the formula quite basic. It is ideal for the introduction of rearrangements in earlier years too. The sheet begins with 5 questions which show ‘why’ we need to rearrange. This is followed by 26 questions involving one x and one y and numbers - using as many everyday functions in as many ways as i could. Finally a further 26 questions where we introduce a and b as constants too - this often muddies the waters for Foundation students and I always found I had insufficient questions to offer them. This is a thorough worksheet as a pdf of two pages covering everything you will need from introduction to GCSE foundation level. Answers are included too Please provide feedback so I can continue to offer a good service.
