I use this with my Y5 GAT groups - useful for understanding non-decimal bases - and being grateful for maths as it is today!
I have left these in Arial - I print them in a copperplate font
I don't have a lesson plan to go with this written down - pm me if you would like one
Godd for maths/art groups. Use double page in middle of maths book for drawing. For younger groups, draw the first or even first 2 sqaures in. Whilst they can colour in the smaller squares, the larger square are best patterned or having pre-cut coloured squares glued on them.

I have no written lesson plan, but pm me if you want one or any more info

I don't do lesson plans - if the teachers&' notes need amplification, please pm me.
I use this in my Y5 GAT extension group - have updated it since given a couple of toroids
A sequence of 2 to 4 lessons starting with the positive integers and working Socratically through to imaginary numbers and possibly quaternions. It doesn't cover anything much that isn&'t in the ordinary syllabus at some point, but does present the number plane as an integrated whole.
Sorry - I uploaded this before I realised the sqrt 2 proof is only on the school computers - will add it next week.
This is an answer to a query on the forum - my be useful to other non-specialists wanting to understand/explain the relationship between mass and falling times with and without parachutes.
should be self-explanetary. Sorry - I had some A4 and A3 masters marked into 1cm strips, but i can't find them. For the hearts, you can fold paper into 4 and cut away the corner to make a cross rather than use 2 separate strips
