A Thoughts and Crosses on Algebraic Fractions for beginners. Generally numerical denominators so can be used at KS3 for when people have mastered numerical fractions. Pupils always engaged in these tasks and can be completed in books or as a poster.

A series of lessons (2 - 3) on finding the equation of a straight line. The lesson begins with finding and interpreting the gradient and y intercept from real life life situations and moving onto finding the equation of a line. It also gives pupils the opportunity to investigate perpendicular and parallel lines. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels and suitable for the new curriculum as pupils are given reasoning tasks. All pupils can consolidate their learning yet be stretched for the more able. All solutions included.

A Thoughts and Crosses on Angles in a Triangle. It gives the chance to consolidate and also link angles and algebra and reasoning tasks. All solutions included. Check out my shop for a complete lesson and many other lessons

A series of lessons (1-2) on finding missing angles in triangles. It gives opportunity to explore the basics but also to combine different angle facts aswell and linking them to algebra. Also, there is a mini investigation to angles in polygons. It is suitable for the new 9-1 curriculum as there are many opportunities to tackle reasoning tasks and develop deeper thinking. Used with KS3 and KS4 and pupils have been engaged as all tasks are differentiated giving them the chance to consolidate but challenge themselves. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels with solutions on each.

A series of lessons (2-3) on using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic. It introduces the formula and has a RAG task on using this formula to a basic quadratic, ones where some rearrangement is needed and moves onto shape problems. There are also reverse problems in which pupils would need to find the values of a,b and c. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

This lesson recaps basic factorising inc difference of two squares ect. There is then a RAG task on solving a quadratic by factorising and includes varying tasks such as rearranging ect to really get the pupils thinking. It also links in algebra with shape and have reasoning and problem solving questions which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels.

This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

This lesson allows pupils to practice the skill of finding the area of a parallelogram, aswell as reverse problems and compound shapes in a RAG Task. There are plenty of problem solving questions, reasoning questions to really stretch all pupils and challenge the more able. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work. This has been used and allowed pupils to master the skill and for the more able to develop their understanding

A series of lessons (2-3) on finding the area of a triangle. The lesson allows pupils to practice the basic skill but al calculate reverse problems and compound shape questions. There are also some reasoning tasks suitable for the new curriculum and algebraic problems to challenge the more able learners. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are reasoning and problem solving tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All tasks have solutions so that it is easy for the pupils to mark their work.

A series of lessons (2-3) on finding and solving equations of composite functions. It gives the pupils plenty of opportunity to become familiar with the notation of f(x) ect and using this to substitute numbers into an expression. It then gives pupils the chance to find fg(x) ect and then moves onto solving equations suh as fg(x) = gf(x). There are also problem solving tasks to develop pupils learning. All tasks are differentiated, 2-4 levels for each task to make it accessible to all pupils but also to stretch the more able. All tasks have full solutions to it is easy to peer and self assess during the lesson. The lesson includes reasoning and problem solving tasks which ensure that this is suitable for the 9-1 GCSE curriculum. I have used this lesson and pupils were engaged yet challenged.

A series of lessons (2-3) on multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, which is suitable for the new curriculum. Pupils are given the chance to master the fluency of this topic aswell as work on reasoning and problem solving tasks. All tasks are differentiated to 3 levels all with solutions and offer lots of consolidation as well as alot of challenge. Can be used with KS3/KS4.

A complete lesson on Powers and Roots which is suitable for the new curriculum. Pupils are given the chance to master the fluency of this topic aswell as work on reasoning and problem solving tasks. All tasks are differentiated to 3 levels all with solutions and offer lots of consolidation as well as alot of challenge. Can be used with KS3/KS4.

RAG sheet regarding equation of a circle. Allows the pupils the master the skill before investigating points on graphs

A starter which includes 5 questions which seem to be badly answered at year 7. The same questions repeat 6 times so can be used for 6 consecutive lessons. The aim is that each lesson they get better at each question so by lesson 6 can tackle all 5 questions within 15 mins. Used these starters for years, pupils are engaged and like the benefits of them.
