An introduction to composite functions
Complete introduction lesson to functions and function notation, with fully differentiated questions for each task. Answers provided for self/peer assessment for all tasks.
Real life aspects shown to students to boost engagement and provide discussion opportunities.
Used as an interview lesson and had positive feedback, was offered the job.
Complete lesson plan included (timings can be adjusted to suit your timetable) with common misconceptions highlighted in the plan.
Lesson Objectives covered:
Beginner: To be able to solve worded problems using a function machine
Skilled: To be able to substitute into f(𝑥) given 𝑥
Expert: To be able use mapping diagrams, understanding the relationship between the range and domain of a function.
Scaffolded Volume of a Cylinder
Worksheet with scaffolded calculations, to support students in working out the volume of a cylinder.
Red and Amber worksheets, where the radius or diameter is given.
Suitable for lower ability classes, can be used as a extra support in mixed ability classes and has been used successfully with SEN classes.
All answers are provided for students to self/peer assess their work.
Area of semicircles and quarter circles
Fully differentiated, scaffolded worksheet on finding the area of semicircles and quarter circles.
Scaffolded calculations included for lower ability students, to increase their confidence, slowly building up to the final challenge involving no scaffolding and compound shapes involving circles.
Suitable for all abilities and mixed ability classes as students can begin from different starting points (including SEN).
All answers included for students to self/peer assess their work.
Area of Trapeziums Scaffolded Worksheet
Scaffolded worksheet that supports students in calculating the area of a trapezium. Suitable for SEN classes.
Marking probabilities on the probability scale
Worksheet allowing students to practise marking probabilities on the probability scale.
Scaffolded version also included for lower ability students.
Opportunity for students to also write the fraction and worded probability of each event, to support them becoming fluent with the language of probability.
Percentages of an amount lesson
Can be used as an introduction lesson to finding a percentage of an amount, or as consolidation (for lower ability classes).
Starter includes building on fluency with dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
All worksheets included.
Differentiated, visual percentages of an amount worksheet
Suitable differentiated activity for introducing the topic of ‘percentages of an amount’ with challenge questions. Especially good for visual learners.
Special Sequences Introduction Lesson
Introductory lesson to sequences, including an engaging starter showing students an optical illusion involving the Fibonacci spiral.
Additional card sort activities included, for visual learners (ideal engagement tool for SEN classes), where students sequence their daily routine and also sequence the square numbers.
All activities are fully differentiated, with the opportunity for students to explore Fibonacci sequences.
Substitution Lesson
Differentiated lesson with engaging starter for teaching substitution.
The lesson starts from basic principles, building up to expressions with brackets and powers (including substituting negative values).
All answers included on the slides for students to self assess.
Dividing Fractions
Complete lesson for teaching the topic of "Dividing Fractions".
Starter, animated examples included and main differentiated activity (with worksheet) included. Questions start from basic division to reasoning and GCSE style questions. Answers included for self/peer assessment.
Fractions Decimals Percentages conversion lesson
A comprehensive lesson that takes students through each conversion, with examples and questions throughout. The final task allows students to improve fluency by filling in the gaps of a conversion table or those that have mastered the topic to develop their problem solving skills through worded problems. Answers included for self/peer assessment. This can be split over two lessons or adapted to one lesson, depending ability.
Fractions of an amount
A full lesson for teaching "finding a fraction of an amount". Animated examples included and maze activity, which engages students much more than simply giving them a set of questions to complete. Answers included for self/peer assessment and then the lesson moves onto worded problems.
Lesson for teaching the Reverse Mean
Full lesson with starter and three clear animated examples of how to find the reverse mean. Differentiated activity, with prompts to support students initially.
Renewable and non-renewable energy resources
Fully differentiated lesson introducing renewable and non-renewable energy resources. Short engaging video (under 3 minutes). Worksheet included containing all of the lessons resources. Match up exercise (no scissors needed!) also included within the worksheet. Students fill in the blank boxes from the paragraphs on the board. Alternatively the activity could be adapted to be cut and stick. Exam style questions also included as a plenary. All answers included for students to self/peer assess throughout the lesson.
Waves - Light
Complete lesson on the topic of 'Waves' introducing light, moving onto a simplified and animated diagram of a solar eclipse. Lesson objectives:
Objective 1:
To describe how light interacts with materials
Objective 2 :
To state the speed of sound
Objective 3 :
To state the positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun during a solar Eclipse
Optional video included to add interest and help students remember the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse.
Substituting into a formulae
Ideal Substituting into a formula lesson for year 7 (high ability) or as a recap lesson for other years. Starter to check prior algebra knowledge and extension task included.
Interior and Exterior angles of Polygons
Complete lesson including ready to print hand-outs. Exit tickets included as a plenary.
Place Value: Rounding to decimal places, significant figures and estimation
Lesson demonstrating how to round to 1, 2 and 3 decimal places and significant figures. The lesson then builds up to applying this to estimate calculations.
Introduction to 2D shape and perimeter
This complete lesson introduces students to parallel and perpendicular lines and the properties of 2D shape.
Students can annotate their shapes (by printing out the shape slide and using as a handout).
Perimeter of 2D shapes is then explored using a fully animated, worked example.
Plotting Linear Graphs and features of y=mx+c
Complete lesson covering the features of straight line graphs, plotting straight line graphs, then extending students knowledge by showing them how the point of intersection of two or more lines represents a solution (leading to solving simultaneous equations graphically).
