Trigonometry - Tree Measuring
The following activity will allow students to use their knowledge on trigonometry along with applications on their phone and computer to estimate the height of the tree. The students will use 3 different methods to measure the height of a tree and at the end will comment on which method is the most accurate assuming the last method is the closest estimate.
Students really enjoyed going outside and applying their skills to this task. This activity is a great investigation for those looking to move in the the IB BP program.

IB Maths Analysis and Approaches SL: Jeopardy Revision Game
This game is intended for an EOY 12 Exam.
Units covered during the year were Number & Algebra, Functions, and Statistics and Probability. There is no probability questions in this game.
The game has all the music and sounds like the real game on TV. Students really enjoy it.

IB Maths Analysis and Approaches SL: Transformations
The following lesson goes through the following:
-translations
-enlargements (vertical and horizontal)
-reflections (both axis)
-parent functions
The PowerPoint has worked examples, and student exercises. I have also put in past paper exam questions for each topic. The idea of this lesson is for students to understand transformations and apply it to any function, hence why I talk about different parent functions (base curves).

Linear Functions - Straight Line Graph Quizzes
The following are 5 quizzes created for online teaching through Microsoft Teams. All 5 quizzes are multiple choice, so self marking. The 5 quizzes cover the entire topic of linear functions which are as follow:
Straight Line Graphs; graphing, finding an equation, finding gradient, interpreting equation, rearranging equations (25 questions)
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines (19 questions)
Modelling Linear Functions – Real Life Graphs (14 questions)
Distance and Midpoint (10 questions)
Equations of Perpendicular Bisectors (5 questions)

Common Factoring - Introductory Lesson
The Following lesson introduces the concept of common factoring through numerical calculators where students find quicker and easier ways to mental calculator sums through the use of common factoring. It then moves on to algebraic factoring with visual displays (algebraic tiles) and finishes with piecewise factoring. The idea is to move from piecewise factoring onto expanding double brackets.

GCSE 9-1 Maths Must Know Topics
Lesson 1: Quadratic Sequences
Lesson 2: Completing the Square
Lesson 3: Iteration
Lesson 4: Composite Functions
Each lesson includes worked examples and practice questions. Alternative methods are shown for completing the square. Iteration lesson includes a video and graphical representation of how iteration works to deepen student understanding.

IB Maths Applications and Interpretation: Chapter 1 - Measuring Space
This PowerPoint follows the entire content for Chapter 1 of the Oxford textbook. Certain topics included are not in chapter 1 but builds on the skills students are currently learning in the chapter and will be useful later on. For example, for the simplifying indices topic I go a little further into writing indices in non-fractional form which is useful for when you teach derivatives. Conent covered through the PowerPoint include:
Measurements and Estimates
Rounding and Significant Figures
Upper and Lower Bounds
Measurement Error
Percentage Error
Basic Exponent Rules
* changing bases
* writing in non-fractional form
Standard form (scientific notation)
Right angle trigonometry

Arc Length
Throughout the PowerPoint you will find GeoGebra links (click the icon) as well as Past Paper questions. There are also worked examples and exercises for students to complete throughout the lesson.

Bungee Barbie - Scatter Graphs and Line of Best Fit
This activity requires students to gather data to construct a scatter graph. After students have constructed the scatter graph they then have to find the equation of the line of best fit and use that to make a prediction of how many bands are needed for the bungee jump. Calculations will be off which lead to the discussion of interpolation and extrapolation and why maths in the real world does not always match up with theoretical predictions.
The PowerPoint comes with a worksheet that students will use to fill in. I have also attached an egg version. The activity will take at least 2 days. One day to gather their information and the second to test their predictions.

Quadratic Sequences - Complete Lesson
The lesson looks at the differences between a linear and quadratic sequences graphically and focusing on finite differences, thus leading to the nth term. The lesson identifies two methods for finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence with multiple questions in different contexts. Questions also have students transferring skills from other topics such as area, solving equations, simultaneous equations, etc.
This lesson can also be used with AQA Further Maths students as the PowerPoint ens with limiting value of a sequence.

Angry Birds: Quadratics Project
Here is a great activity to do as a group, pairs or individually. I haven’t created it but wanted to share it with others. This activity looks at quadratics given in different forms; table of values, graphically, in words, and in standard form. The idea is to see which birds hit the pigs. There are 5 versions of this activity which is great. Students don’t need to know about vertex form (completing the square) for this activity, but do need to understand that the axis of symmetry is half way between the roots.
