Generate great discussion and lots of opportunities for questioning, with this lesson designed to target common misconceptions for the topic of Area and Perimeter. Each slide has a question with 3 possible answers. Sometimes one or two are correct, sometimes none. The lesson is based around a discussion of, - Who is correct? - What have the others done wrong? Pupils need to work together in pairs or teams and just need a whiteboard/paper to make notes. This makes for some really interesting discussion and this lesson has been used for teaching training purposes as it really highlights pupils thinking on the topic and the common misconceptions. Just reassure them that it’s OK to make mistakes and learn from them! Suitable upper for KS2/KS3

Aimed at discovering symmetry in KS2, this pack includes teaching Powerpoints with video links and a workbook mixing Maths SATs style questions (with answers) with opportunities for artwork based on Symmetry. Pupils will first investigate reflectional and rotational symmetry using masks,tile patterns, and tracing paper with options for creating portraits and skylines. Rotational Symmetry patterns can then be made using ICT, tracing paper and paper snowflakes. Pupils spend time investigating symmetry with tracing paper and mirrors and deepening their understanding by producing Art which could also be used to produce a great classroom display.

To play you will need to cut up the question cards (I suggest laminating them for future use) and print the board in colour for each team. I usually let the rest of the team decide if the question has been answered correctly (that way they all have to work it out!) but there is an answer sheet provided for checking if they are not sure. You will also need counters, dice and mini whiteboards.
