A lesson introducing Pythagoras' theorem in 3D, assuming prior knowledge in 2D.<br /> <br /> There is a worksheet for pupils with some scaffolding at the start for practice too.

<p>A PowerPoint lesson to encourage pupils to discover geometric progressions and how they work up to and including basic nth term formulae.</p>

After struggling to find a resource to cater for my weak year 7 group, I created this worksheet on using 10% to find other percentages of amounts.<br /> <br /> The sheet has an example, a guide on how to use 10% to find 20%, 30%,... and questions that start off with scaffolding and become less structured.

This activity allows pupils to work in groups, pairs or alone to build a shape using their fractions knowledge. They would need to know the methods for multiplying fractions and mixed numbers before attempting. Answers have been simplified too!

<p>A differentiated activity to practice expanding brackets. Orange is the start point, Green is for those wanting a challenge.</p>

A treasure hunt where pupils are adding and subtracting with negative numbers. Useful in place of a worksheet or as part of a fun revision session. I have found my students prefer treasure hunts/trails to worksheets, particularly if you are good at hiding them!

<p>A quick mini assessment to review work on expanding brackets and solving equations. To mark simply correct and use the table to allocate codes and a question from the review sheet. Pupils then write out the corresponding comments and correct their answers before attempting the question allocated.</p> <p>I find this a quick and effective way of checking understanding and ensuring that they get worthwhile feedback and the time to improve on it.</p>

Treasure hunt activity for pupils of middle ability studying distance/ speed/ time and density/ mass/ volume. <br /> <br /> Questions vary in difficulty and suited my middle set year 9 well.<br /> <br /> Print the slides onto A4 and cut in half vertically. Pupils choose a starting point and answer the question before finding the answer on another sheet somewhere in the room. They must then answer the question on this sheet and so on.

A series of posters with practical problems covering the key percentages skills from percentage of an amount to compound interest. <br /> I laminated these and stuck them around the room and let students work their way around in pairs, writing their working in their books.

<p>I adapted the test from the Delphi papers for the old Mechanics course to assess my class’s understanding of Chapter 10-Forces and Motion. On their tests I attach the feedback form where I fill in the information and tick the table before putting the relevant codes for each pupil in the bottom section and a question to try. The pupils then spend a lesson correcting the test, writing down my comments and targets then attempting the relevant question. Question D was an extra bit of Pulleys practice for them if they were confident and/or finished.</p>

<p>Exam questions covering: Cosine Rule, Sine Rule and Area of a Triangle using non-right angled trigonometry.</p> <p>I used this as a quick skill check lesson for my Year 12s but it could also be used with able Year 11s.</p> <p>The exam questions are taken from old specification AS exams from various exam boards(Edexcel, AQA and OCR).</p>

<p>Updated: This lesson is on introducing trigonometrical identities and how to use them for simplifying and proof from the new Pure Year 1 Chapter 10, Exercise C (Edexcel), including the derivation.</p> <p>Includes a couple of C2 past paper questions for checking understanding at the end.</p>

<p>I used this as an interesting way to do a skill check with my Year 12s at the start of the A level course, though it can also be used with able GCSE pupils.</p>
