A full three part lesson on Estimation.
The main part of the lesson involves pupils pretending to be 'Grand Designers&' to estimate a cost to floor a building.
There is a lot in this lesson so modify where necessary!
Pupils are required to substitute values into 11 formulas to crack a code and find the 'hidden treasure&'.
Quite a quick easy worksheet which would make a good activity for a first lesson on substitution.
Lesson on enlargement. Three part lesson with handouts/worksheets.
Please note that a number of resources have been taken from TES/Starter of the Day to compile this lesson.
This resource aims to build on the area of a circle by looking at the area of semi circles and quarter circles.<br />
<br />
The final activity consolidates all the learning on the area of a circle which involves true/false questions.
Introduction to Pythagoras' Theorem.
Lesson begin with pupils measuring sides and following the instructions to try and discover &'Pythagoras&'; Theorem. This is followed by a couple of examples, a worksheet and a mini-plenary.
A nice lesson which introduces linear sequences by looking at shifting times tables, modified from an Nrich Activity. Lesson includes worksheet, extension tasks, power point and a problem solving element at the end. Could be a useful resource for all year groups as an introduction to the nth term.
Worksheet which is to be used with the Open Reference animation.
Pupils are to fill in the missing gaps so that they have a list of instructions of how to bisect an angle.
Worksheet which involves students finding the depreciation of the cars in percentages.
Can be used as a match up task or as a worksheet in its own right.
Hope it is useful!
Worksheet to help students think more deeply about Vectors in component form, can lead to some good discussions about parallel vectors, unit vectors and solving problems involving these.
A resource I used with a low ability Year 8 group after they had learnt the basics of converting between fractions and percentages.<br />
<br />
First task - Practising a range of questions involving converting between Fractions and Percentages in a range of contexts.<br />
<br />
Second task - I started by saying 'I think Apple is taking over the world' and explained that I had gone into each Maths classroom along our corridor and recorded down the amount of iPhones in each class, there was one classroom missing (the room we were in), so that I could use the class as an example. <br />
<br />
I then asked students to rank the classrooms in order based on the proportion of each classroom. <br />
Some probing questions after this to get students thinking about this topic more deeply.
