Rotations Lesson

(46)
This was taught as a two hour lesson on rotations, both carrying out and describing rotations is covered here. I taught this to a middle ability year 8 group and by the end most students were comfortable with both LO's I have differentiated for those students who aren't confident with co-ordinates for the first task and I have extended both activities with some problem based activities. Included is: Starter on co-ordinates with key words AFL task to differentiate for the first task Rotating Activity Extension Describing Rotation Activity Extension Exit Card/Plenary PowerPoint Feedback is much appreciated :)

Pie Chart Lesson

(40)
This was taught as a 2 hour lesson to my mid-level year 10 students. Most students managed to achieve both of the learning objectives within the lesson and all achieved with the consolidation tasks. The starter is designed to assess understanding of fractions, equivalent fractions and as proportional representations. The first task is scaffolded to allow a soft entry into the task and their is an extension to build the understanding of percentages representing proportion of population. The second extension builds understanding of fractional degrees as a plotting point. Included in the lesson: Starter - Fraction assessment Task 1 - Reading Pie Charts Extension Task 2 - Drawing Pie Charts Extension Exit ticket - Plenary Follow on tasks to - Consolidate the skill, Apply the skill & Extend the skill PowerPoint

This is a "Pointless" score card I've been working (WIP) on, I'm not sure what to use it for though. If you have any ideas please let me know. To use go to the last slide and run slide show from current slide, then type in the score you want and press enter, the animation will then start. To reset type 102 and press enter for Pointless type 101.

This was taught as a one hour lesson on angles on straight lines, around a point & vertically opposite angles. I taught this to a middle ability year 7 group and by the end most students were comfortable with the LO’s Differentiation is through increased difficulty and depth as the questions progress, I use the students’ confidence with the examples to set starting points. Included is: 1 Presentation 2 Printable Activity 3 Printable Extension 4 Exit Ticket with Feedback indicators I usually display the initial questions on the bard and only print the extension but have included all printable resources. Feedback is much appreciated :)

Decimal Multiplication Problems

(1)
This is a resource I used with my high level year 7s based around multiplying decimals. The students are required to find the volume of cement needed to complete each job and then the best method of purchasing it, they are then tasked with finding a profit margin in order to calculate a quote for the customer. This resource can be easily adapted to make use of calculators for lower ability students. This resource makes use of multiple skills including: Decimal multiplication Compound Area Volume Metric Conversion Percentages. This resource is part of a set of resources I am developing for my KS3 students so watch this space.

Deal or No Deal Probability Game

(1)
I created this as a transition activity for year 6. During the 30min session we discussed probabilities in terms of likely & Unlikely and moved on to probabilities using fractions. The students enjoyed this as the discussion of maths was light but also thought provoking as it was mostly students led. Included: PowerPoint for removing the revealed values Box template for printing on red card I have made the boxes deliberately complex so they are sturdy enough to be used more than once. For the values that get revealed I laminated them so that hey could be fixed with blu-tac so that they could be moved around to keep the game fresh. Alternatively you could print out a box image on a piece of card with the money printed on the other side.

An activity I made for my mid level year 8s based on carpeting floors. They are required to estimate the area of compound shapes so that they can then estimate a quote for a customer. I am currently developing a range of activities based around multiple topic usage questions to develop my KS3 students so watch this space.

This is a resource I used with my mid level year 8s based around trial & Improvement. The students have to decide on a formula to iterate against so that they can then calculate the perimeter in order to cost out a fence and a hedge. I designed this resource with the new GCSE syllabus in mind to promote independent problem solving. This resource makes use of multiple skills including: Trial & Improvement Creating Equations Area & Perimeter This resource is part of a set of resources I am developing for my KS3 students so watch this space.

Turning through more than 360 degrees

(0)
A booklet for building understanding of turning through more than 360 degrees. The students first identify how many degrees are in one, two and three turns. They are then asked to decide whether various 'spins' are multiples of 180. Finally they are required to calculate how many extra degrees are needed to make the spin equal to a multiple of 180.
