This resource handily introduces compound interest to more able KS3 groups and GCSE in the form of adding interest to a bank account. Other topics covered include percentages and decimal multipliers.
This resource is an investigation (with teacher notes and accompanying worksheets) which gets students to investigate whether how often interest is added to a bank account effects the total amount of interest.
The problem is so:
I invest ÂŁ1,000 in a savings account at an interest rate of 3.1% p.a. for one year. What interval at which the interest is paid will get me the most money?
The students can then be guided to calculating the total amount of interest when it is added, daily montly etc. before being guided to an overall formula to solve the problem.
A really useful resource which is tests KS3 pupils on their understanding of mode, median, mean and range. This could also be used as a summative test of pupils’ knowledge or as a homework/revision task and is suitable for GCSE foundation students as well.
A handy pair of tables that sixth form students can use to compare both university courses and the actual universities themselves. This would be a very useful resource to assist with their UCAS applications in helping them to decide which course (and university) is right for them out of their choices and help them make an informed decision.
The template on the courses allows aspects such as the length of the course, average class size, teaching/assessment methods, tuition fees and course content to be compared whilst the template comparing universities allows variables such as ranking, number of students, graduate employability, course satisfaction and extra-curricular facilities to be cross-referenced.
An incredibly helpful resource for sixth form students in helping them complete their university application. This resource is a model personal statement completed by a sixth form student for a Primary Teaching degree course. The personal statement is detailed whilst being succinct, including sections on work experience, personal reasons for wanting to study the course, academic history and interests/hobbies. The personal statement gives students an idea of what to include in and how to structure their own personal statement, possibly using it as a template.
This resource could also be used by sixth form tutors/teachers who are helping their students complete their application to university.
