Graph Skills: Lesson 4- Drawing bar charts

Graph Skills: Lesson 4- Drawing bar charts

(0)
This lesson is lesson four of a scheme of learning which focuses on supporting students become more proficient in graph skills and data handling. This particular lesson focuses on helping students draw bar charts without the common pitfalls of drawing the bars different widths. Graphs have a number of skills and so this scheme aims to break down these skills into more manageable sections. There is a tracker which documents a students journey as they practise these key skills, practise worksheets and a practise exam question, as well as a very clear PowerPoint guiding students through. The idea is that students have lesson time to practise the skill through modelling and example questions, they then self assess their work and add their mark for that skill on the tracker. They then practise that skill only on their practise question. This has two levels of ability one graph with decimal places and one without. Over the lessons this exam question should become more and more accessible.

Graph Skills: Lesson 3- Calculating the value of one square on a graph in order to plot coordinates

(0)
This lesson is lesson three of a scheme of learning which focuses on supporting students become more proficient in graph skills and data handling. Students find it quite hard to find the exact place to plot their data point. This is often because they are unsure what one square on a graph represents and how to work this out. This particular lesson therefore focuses on helping students find a permanent strategy to find the value of one square on the graph and help them both plot graphs and extrapolate data from graphs. Graphs have a number of skills and so this scheme aims to break down these skills into more manageable sections. There is a tracker which documents a students journey as they practise these key skills, practise worksheets and a practise exam question, as well as a very clear PowerPoint guiding students through. The idea is that students have lesson time to practise the skill through modelling and example questions, they then self assess their work and add their mark for that skill on the tracker. They then practise that skill only on their practise question. This has two levels of ability one graph with decimal places and one without.

Year 7 Science Retrieval Roulette based on the activate resources

Thanks to Adam Boxer for making this template. This has been filled with Retrieval Roulette template made by Adam Boxer filled with 177 questions from the year 7 science curriculum based on the activate resources This could be used as a starter every lesson or given as independent homework throughout the year. It will give half of the questions from everything you have covered so far in the year and then half of the questions based on the current topic. This is excellent activity for interleaving and spaced retrieval practice. The Questions tab: shows questions for all topics along with question number If you fill in cell D2 on the Quiz ten tab with what question you would like the interleaved questions to be selected from. If you then fill in in C7 and D7 the questions numbers from your current topic it will then select questions from these areas. If you then hit for the board tab you will be able to see a student friendly display of the questions you have selected.
