Connected ratios

(2)
A complete lesson on connected ratios, with the 9-1 GCSE in mind. The lesson is focused on problems where, for example, the ratios a:b and b:c are given, and pupils have to find the ratio a:b:c in its simplest form. Assumes pupils have already learned how to generate equivalent ratios and share in a ratio- see my other resources for lessons on these topics. Activities included: Starter: A set of questions to recap equivalent ratios. Main: A brief look at ratios in baking, to give context to the topic. Examples and quick questions for pupils to try. Questions are in the style shown in the cover image. A set of questions for pupils to consolidate. A challenging extension task where pupils combine the techniques learned with sharing in a ratio to solve more complex word problems in context. Plenary: A final puzzle in a different context (area), that could be solved using connected ratios and should stimulate some discussion. Printable worksheets and answers included. Please review if you buy as any feedback is appreciated!

Explanation writing, causal connectives

(2)
Fun dice activity exploring causal connectives, also warm-ups and model texts Explanation writing is one of the trickier non-fiction genres in the primary curriculum. Although we rarely explain sequences using formal language, we often explain things in every day terms. How do you complete that level of the game? How do you do that magic trick? How did you solve that problem? There is a group of words and phrases that can help explain cause and effect more precisely. These can be called ‘causal connectives’. This is not a strictly defined group of words – more collection of conjunctions, adverbs and other cohesive devices that can be useful for this genre of writing. Try the dice activity ‘Explain yourself’ and watch your class get comfortable using these connectives aloud as they explain diverse subjects including ‘how to take the perfect selfie’ and ‘how the digestive system works’. When they are ready, they can write some of their favourite explanations, using causal connectives with accuracy. I have added 4 simple oral warm up activities. These encourage to children to rehearse useful vocabulary (consequently, as a result of this, so, so that, therefore, however) and add brackets to explanation sentences. Try that tricky language aloud before you get into any writing! I have added an ‘eco-explanations’ activity. I have also added 9 model explanations to give some ideas of things to write about.

This connectives / conjunctions poster presents 45 words to help students link sentences – thus making their work more eloquent. A connective / conjunction is a word or phrase that links clauses or sentences. The connectives / conjunctions poster has been created in high resolution – A0 size (841mm x 1189mm) – so that you can use it as a classroom display. However, it will print perfectly well in other paper sizes, such as A4.

A collection of words and phrases that will help students to achieve greater coherence when writing paragraphs. Each connective comes with an example of how to use it, along with grammatical information on its form (i.e. word class/ part of speech) and function (i.e. whether it’s an adverbial or if it begins a clause). There is also additional guidance on the difference between ‘movable’ connectives (adverbials such as furthermore) and ‘immovable’ connectives (such as although). The connectives are divided into the following categories: addition: to add information to a previous point comparison: to introduce a point that is similar to the previous one contrast: to introduce a point that is mostly different from the previous point despite one or two similarities concession: to make a counter-argument refutation: to continue with your main argument after making a counter-argument restatement: to make an argument clearer by phrasing it in a different way exemplification: to make an argument clearer by providing an example summary: to simplify information down to the main details frequency: to show how often something happens causality: to imply cause and effect between two pieces of information sequence: to structure information in a sequence

Students really enjoyed this connective / conjunction powerpoint. The starter activity requires students to create their own random paragraph beginning with the connectives provided. They can either write their responses on a whiteboard and then show, or alternatively, which my students seem to enjoy more, the teacher writes their responses on the main whiteboard. My students tried to be as random as possible! Focuses on how how connectives / conjunctions can be used to join two main clauses, or begin a sentence. Examples of the different types of connective/conjunction are displayed - their task is to remember them all!

It covers some of the primary connections between the plays, including the use of setting, the classical tragedy form, themes of betrayal and marriage, with some connecting context and critical views between the two plays. The document is set out in a table format, making it easy to turn into cue cards.

Connect Four / Four in a row: This is a great game that I use all the time in my classroom. It is perfect for maths stations (or maths centers in the US!) and it is really helping my class with their math skills. Usually this game is for two players but my game has more numbers and can therefore be played by up to four children. What the children will need to play the game: 2 dice, one colour each per child. How to play: 1. Roll the dice 2. Multiply the numbers together 3. Colour in the answer 4. The first player to get four in a row wins the game! This game may be played using colours but it can also be played using different coloured counters. It may also be laminated so the children can use whiteboard markers for the game, which can then be wiped off!
