2 lessons complete on one powerpoint First is finding area of rhombus, kite , parallelogram through investigation. then short practise. Second is similar for a trapezium, followed by a consolidation worksheet and shapes to make their own picture (this makes nice display work too). could probably last 3 lessons in all honesty. includes lesson plans and differentiation.

3 short worksheets, each 4 questions, attractive to do as in colour, mostly shapes made from quadrilaterals, with a few triangles with others as cut outs. answers included. suitable for starter, plenary, homework or main activity.

This lesson teaches how an expression is built, exploring how it looks different when operations have been done in different orders, and how it is unpicked, so that students learn what to do in what order to then change the subject. students should have copies of the write on slides. so they do this work, not all teach led. 1 step and 2 step operations only, followed by a differentiated worksheet.

A game involving small groups of students, One student is the question master. who has the sheet with the questions and answers on it. The other three have whiteboards each. QM asks player 1 whether they would like a 1, 2 , or 3 step formula? (1 step gets 1 point, 2 step gets 2 points, and 3 step gets 3 points). The question master tells them the question, all players write it down. The player has 10, 20 or 30 seconds to rearrange. If they don’t get it correct or not in the time, other players can steal the points.

this lesson starts with a quick starter to collect in groups fractions which are equivalent. Then onto how to add fractions with same and then different denominators, including a little fill in box, for students to have lots of copies of for use in adding fractions by making common denominators. There is a codebreaker for students to do which gives a maths joke. 2 worksheets, using perimeter to add fractions, harder version involves mixed numbers.

Starter - 5 questions in recap quiz – ask students to choose between a,b,c, and d. maybe using mini whiteboards Model where power of a power comes from Model the LHS - they do the RHS. Keeping the LHS on the board for them to see Model the rule of zero Model the negative power Model rewriting negative powers as fractions and the other way around They then do their ones Model more difficult ones Differentiated worksheet answers

This is a whole lesson, starter is using mini whiteboards to write in lowest terms, but including time, and kg, g etc 3 examples, of sharing in ratio, and then backwards questions. a round the room 'treasure hunt' activity where students find the next card from the answer on the last. then a differentiated worksheet of problems, with answers and a plenary of spot the mistake in two students work.

2 pages of wordy division questions on ppt. pleasing to the eye and with answers. all double digit divisions. (13 questions in all) 1 star for easier 2 stars for harder

Whole lesson. starter - students label a circle with the circle parts. Main -4 circle theorem, students move from home groups to expert groups, where they follow instructions to each find a circle theorem, then return to home groups to share and teach each other. Also a short matching activity for the class from the board as a plenary/consolidation, and short worksheet, differentiated, and questions for use with mini whiteboards. Several options here to use, probably more than one lessons worth.

suitable for starter or plenary or even activity mid lesson. substituting into expressions, the value of x is given with three possible answers. Students choose between answers A, B and C they can run to the correct answer or answer on mini whiteboards.

The aim of this lesson is to introduce students in the idea that they cannot gather x's with y's by making it a physical thing, in this case different sized boxes of pencils. You are then able to add and subtract x's y's and numbers to your hearts content. there follows differentiated worksheets of algebra pyramids to consolidate.

This is designed to lead students though functions from substituting numbers, to inverse, and composite. it provides the structure for the teacher to teach, with questions for the students. but is not a click through.

starter is a class follow me game of powers and roots. The lesson provides structure for the teacher to teach manipulation of surds, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Then expand and rationalise. with a worksheet containing some of each, so that students can start where they want to. It is not a click through.

This is a versatile resource, it is set up as a dominoes activity/loop game. Could be played in pairs, or as a trail individually. Alternatively, you could cut the answers up and use as a matching game, in which case you could take some out if need be. Each answer is currently on the next card along. With the final one being before the yellow at the front. Each can be done with knowledge of only rectangles and triangles. Some missing sides need to be found. You could use trapezium formula too if you like.

This is a whole lesson on vectors from drawing to writing expressions for journeys around shapes. this is not a click through lesson but there are several slides of materials here for you to use to teach with and a printable activity and worksheet which is differentiated. and answers. more here than you could do in a lesson.

The idea is that students do the 8 questions on their own, then you go through them, mark them with them and they fill in the box in the centre, each one in the order of the questions. The following week, 8 similar questions on the same 8 topics, in the same order. Again for two more weeks, so that students can see their progress on these topics through repetition but also through familiarity and spatial awareness from the similar question in the same place on the sheet, enabling them to access the previous memory of how to do that question.

this lesson assumes knowledge of finding the area of a rectangle, and the ability to construct triangles accurately. It then goes on to give students 5 sets of instructions for constructing solids, finding their surface area and building them to to create a mobile. the 5 solids are starred for the level of difficulty. to further enhance difficulty level the angle could be removed from the hexagonal prism, and diagonal length not given on the trapezoidal prism. How to hang the mobile, or just hang the solids separately is up to you.

This is a lesson set up for putting simultaneous equations into context, with examples for the teacher to work through with the class (it is not a click through) . Then a worksheet differentiated for type. and answers.

Players draw their own snakes and ladders onto the game board. There are two sets of questions to cut out, for differentiation. easier and harder. The result of solving the equation= the number of moves.

two codebreakers, both which come out as (bad) maths jokes, sure to get them groaning. one is expanding single brackets, one is factorising single brackets. with answers.

Three worksheets of differentiated decimal negative number pyramids. After doing these students will have complete competence in working with negative numbers. Answers provided.
