Linear Sequences

Wanted to look a linear sequences as revision with year 11. We looked at nth term where there wasn’t a shift of the times table and then when there was a shift on the same times table. Then i wanted to look at the pattern on the fourth image (forget where i found this now)Screen Shot 2018-09-24 at 22.16.16Screen Shot 2018-09-24 at 22.16.24Screen Shot 2018-09-24 at 22.16.31Screen Shot 2018-09-24 at 22.27.13Screen Shot 2018-09-24 at 22.27.20

These tasks are supposed to look at a sequence in various ways, the sequence is the answer the individual problems.

I love this little problem that i’ve seen before but i wanted to present it in a different way.

Rounding

Not particularly exciting but here’s a practice sheet I made for students on rounding. 

Students liked the task below

They had to place each of the numbers at the top into the box so they rounded correctly but also when they totaled the numbers they got the smallest possible answer.

The smallest was 1232.16, but i don’t know if that is the smallest possible

Trigonometry

Here are a collection of resources i have used when teaching Trigonometry.

They are quite simple but i find that i like to start with looking at questions where the unknown is the numerator, then move to finding the denominator in a different lesson, then find the missing angle in the third lesson. Students become quite good at…

Labelling the triangle

Choosing the correct ratio

substitution

but can struggle with solving the solving part.

There’s a few sheet focusing on either side or angle then a mixed match up activity

Trigonometry

trig5

Then i have a few multiple choice activities: labelling sides or choosing the correct rule

Arc Length

I made these for my Foundation year 10 class, We will look at Circumference again at the start of the lesson. They used IKEA tape measures to notice that the circumference was roughly ‘3 and a bit’ times the diameter. I’m hoping the class will be able to use the circumference to find arc length.
