A collection of lessons focusing on the efficiency of calculations including:
The properties of Addition and Subtraction
Learn different ways to carry out multiplication
Formal methods of long and short division
Factors and Multiples
A consolidation lesson for the four operations
The properties of odds, evens, primes, squares and cubes
Order of operations
This lesson discusses the Arabic numeral system and introduces the students to place value. There is lots of opportunity for discussion on how to represent numbers before introducing a place value table that can help for numbers in any base. Continues onto placing numbers on a number line where you can explore differing intervals.
Adapted using resources from WR maths and my own input.
Two lessons in 1
Lesson 1 looks at rounding to the nearest powers of 10 and appropriate powers to round to.
Lesson 2 looks at upper and lower bounds of rounded numbers
This lesson looks at the commutative and associative laws of addition, different strategies of how to complete additions and subtraction efficiently (partitioning, compensating etc.) as well as fact families for addition and subtraction.
Uses resources from WR maths as well as my own input.
This lesson looks at the efficient methods of multiplication of integers including the distributive properties.
Use of some WR Maths resources as well as my own input.
This lesson looks at:
short division
long division
division using factors (including worksheet)
Resources from WR Maths, other online places and my own input used.
Introduces the <, >, =, ≤, ≥ and ≠ to students. Lots of afl for comparing numbers as well as worksheets for students.
Use of WR maths resources and other bits found online as well as my own input.
In this lesson we look at comparing and ordering any number with many tasks including decimals and standard form.
Resources compiled from WR Maths and my own input.
This lesson looks at the place value of decimals, how to write and say them, and placing them on a number line.
Use of WR maths resources, other resources found on line and my own input.
This lesson looks at truncation and its uses as well as significant figures and how to round to significant figures.
Adapted from WR maths resources, other sources found online as well as my own input.
This lesson looks at factors and multiples.
It encourages students to look at divisibility laws to work out if a number is a multiple/factor of another.
This lesson looks at the order of operations within calculations. It encourages students to think about why this is the order of operations.
Some of the resources have come from WR maths.
Lesson that looks at:
identifying odd and even numbers
sense checking calculations such as odd+odd=even
Prime numbers
How to calculate square numbers (inc video demo)
How to calculate cube numbers (inc video demo)

Two 3D co-ordinate lessons taught to middle set year 10 students. The first build up slowly and includes a powerpoint I found that illustrates 3D co-ordinates with animations effectively.
Worksheets embedded.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks
Lesson 1 - Drawing circles with a compass. Radius and diameter
Lesson 2 - Circumference and discovering Pi
Lesson 3 - Estimating the area and using Pi to find the area
Perfect for an intro to circles as it gets the students to discover and discuss their findings.
Write 10, 100, 1000 etc as powers of ten
Write positive integers in the form A x 10n
Investigate negative powers of ten
Write decimals in the form A x 10n
With a place value table that helps with writing in standard form.
I have used resources from WR Maths as well as my own input.
Collection of resources focusing on the magnitude of positive numbers including:
Read and write positive integers
Read and write decimal numbers
Placing numbers on number lines
Using inequality symbols (<,>,= etc.)
Comparing and ordering any numbers
Rounding to powers of 10
Rounding to significant figures
Rounding to decimals
Truncation
Bounds
Introduction to standard form
Includes resources from WR Maths and my own input.
