This shop is slowly being filled with my favourite lesson plans. I love it when I find a resource that gives a complete lesson without the need for any extras or tweaking so that's what I'm aiming to also give when I add a new resource on here.

This is a full lesson covering Scale Drawing. It takes the student through understanding the concept of scale and proportion, using scales to producing scale drawings.
The lesson comprises:
Engaging starter to stimulate ideas around the topic.
Two teaching slides on proportion and understanding how to read a scale expressed as a ratio.
Three illustrated slides showing how to use the scale to find dimensions.
Two slides of differentiated practice questions (with answers!)
Two extra slides of mixed questions (with answers).
Two further slides around creating own scale drawings.
One project slide on producing a scale drawing of the school grounds.
Plenary drawing out the main learning points.
16 slides in total
This lesson could be squeezed into one hour or delved into more fully over two lessons, particularly if the students are producing their own scale drawings.
Feedback welcome.

A complete lesson taking pupils through learning how to draw the nets of cuboids.
The PowerPoint includes: Starter activity, entry activity, animated teaching slides, plenty of differentiated practice questions, a challenge activity and choice of plenaries to use.
My students always love this lesson. If you have time have students draw the nets on square paper, cut out and fold together so they can easily see if they have drawn them correctly.
Feedback warmly welcomed.
Thanks

A infinite primary or secondary maths starter activity to engage and get brains warmed-up!
Pupils must begin with the starter number then perform the operations to arrive at a final answer.
Questions are randomly generated so can be used time and time again.
There are three levels of difficulty ranging from simple addition and short multiplication up to short division and fractional increase.
Final answer is revealed using the embedded buttons.
Pupils love the competition element of this fun starter activity.
A complete 2 part lesson to introduce students to plotting the graphs of equations. PowerPoint is animated with answers appearing on the screen.
Lesson one has:
Starter activity plotting co-ordinates
Introduces the students to lines parallel to the axes on the co-ordinate grid.
Differentiated activity drawing and naming lines parallel to the x and y axis.
Plenary
Lesson two has:
A starter using co-ordinates in all four quadrants.
Main teaching point; plotting an equation by first creating co-ordinate pairs from the equation.
Differentiated activity giving the students four equations to plot by themselves.
Plenary
Both lessons are aimed at students working at GCSE level 4.
PowerPoint presentation primarily aiming to give students practice plotting quadratic equations. The lesson however also encourages the students to first think how the next equation they are plotting differs from the first and then predict how its shape will differ on the graph. The lesson therefore also introduces graph transformations. Included are screen prints of the resulting graphs the students will plot.
The lesson is also duplicated using cubic equations for the more able students.
A two page worksheet to practice and reinforce learning on Nets of Cuboids.
Questions progressively advanced from identifying nets and how they fold together to drawing nets of cuboids.
Answers included.
Feedback welcome - thanks

Two complete lessons covering drawing nets of cuboids and finding their surface area.
The accompanying worksheet is perfect for a homework task on drawing nets of cuboids.
These lessons are great taught together as the learning of the first lesson on drawing nets is nicely built upon and reinforced by the second lesson on surface area.
This PowerPoint is intended to provide the structure and material to teach a whole lesson on Function Machines and Inverse Operations. The lesson includes the following parts:

exercises practicing this skill,
using function machines and inverse operations to solve problems exercise,
plenary.

This pack contains 5 different maths activities based around a wildlife park. Each activity is centered around a different area of mathematics and a different aspect of the park. The pack is designed to give the pupils an insight into the running of a wildlife park and an understanding of the vital role mathematics plays in its operation.
The pack is ideal for a series of maths lessons that you want to tie in with a visit to a zoo/conservation park or simply practicing maths skills in a real-life context. The whole pack would take around 3 or 4 hours to complete.
Task 1: map scales, compass directions, distance and area (level 3) - based around a map of WIllow Wildlife Park.
Task 2: money operations (level 3) - based around the park gift shop.
Task 3: designing and costing a new bear enclosure (level 2/3).
Task 4: time (level 3/4) - based around a volunteer’s working day at the park.
Task 5: pie chart, percentages (level 4/5) - based around the annual report of the park detailing income sources.
All question answers included.
This pack has been repeatedly used successfully with a whole yr7 year group before a wildlife park visit. It would also be suitable for primary year 6 children.
I hope your students enjoy the activities as much as ours have.
Feedback warmly welcome.
