Kangaroo Maths ... putting the bounce back into teaching!

 
 Algebra
All new resources are now accessed through the relevant interactive scheme of work, but some are still listed below.

Projector Resources

  • Algebraic expressions: A Year 7 'Bring on the Maths' activity looking at simplifying expressions

  • Algebraic fractions: Suitable for GCSE higher groups, this PowerPoint task looks at manipulating algebraic fraction equations

  • Equations: An interactive spreadsheet that very clearly demonstrates the idea of keeping equations balanced until you arrive at the correct solution

  • Equations: A KS3 Top-up 'Bring on the Maths' activity looking at solving equations

  • Equations: A PowerPoint slideshow focussing on constructing equations

  • Proof: This PowerPoint slideshow is suitable for GCSE higher groups

  • Sequences: A general revision PowerPoint looking at graphs and sequences

  • Simultaneous Equations: Although this slideshow starts by looking at magic squares, it soon develops into simultaneous equations. The square involving x and y has a magic total of 150. The one with as and bs has a total of 15. Try it!

Worksheets

  • Equations: Choosing the most efficient method to solve quadratic equations. Use of graphic calculator to sketch solutions.

  • Equations: Using arithmagons to construct and solve equations

  • Equations: Starter OHT. Factorise these quadratics.

  • Expressions: Using area to introduce multiplying out brackets

  • Graphs: Investigating transformations of graphs using a graphic calculator.

  • Graphs: Investigating properties of straight line graphs using Autograph

  • Graphs: More challenging Autograph questions. Both these worksheets can be adapted for other software or graphic calculators

  • Graphs: Good computer room activity - use graph-plotting software to match the given graphs

  • Indices: A simple OHT to recap the laws of indices

  • Real-Life Graphs: A 'decsribe the race' activity based on the hare and the tortoise story

  • Sequences: Worksheet based on Numeracy Strategy ideas. Spreadsheet extension.

  • Sequences: A frame to help weaker students when finding the next term in a sequence, or the rule for a sequence.

  • Sequences: Using a spreadsheet to construct sequences

  • Simultaneous Equations: Introducing this topic by the graphical method
