Forming (writing) Expressions

Big focus on correct language, including a little task that asks students to say if something is an expression, a formula, an equation or an identity. Lots of practice, worded questions etc. Recommend mini-whiteboards for this (and all) lessons. NOTE: I change my PowerPoints often, but don’t always get around to uploading the latest version here. The latest version of this file can always be found at this link.

Funny pie charts

(27)
A few pie charts that represent funny ideas or jokes. The idea is that students get a feel for how pie charts work. I used it as a Y7 starter to generate discussion. The 'how often charts don't make sense' pie chart is particularly good for this. As always, please rate and comment with suggests and ideas. Thanks :)

Maths fact tests : Half Term 1

Made these as a way of drilling into my students useful facts that they should commit to memory (ie 1/5 = 0.2). Made to be used like old spelling tests. Give out the facts. Students use memory techniques like covering up etc to remember them, Then they can be given a follow up test (included) to see how much they’ve remembered.
