A PowerPoint that provides the basis for a lesson. The starter looks at multiplying a single digit by a 2-digit number using the grid method. The grid method is then applied to expanding single brackets by the outside term. Understanding is assessed throughout the lesson by the use of mini-whiteboards. A problem relating to area of a compound shape is included. The final slide is an "exit ticket" that can be collected in at the end of the lesson.

A PowerPoint lesson that uses grid multiplication to introduce the expansion of two binomials. Examples and mini-whiteboard activities check understanding of the concepts, There is a short set of differentiated questions (answers included). A problem solving activity from NRich is included as this uses the product of expressions in its proof. An exit tick is included for the plenary.

Use of mini white boards is incorporated into the lesson to allow for feedback to the teacher. The lesson covers all four operations with fractions but unusually multiplication is the odd one out as the method used for division relies on finding a common denominator. A short “check out” assessment is included.

Follows on from earlier PowerPoint by including negative terms. Uses the grid method to expand the binomials. Mini-whiteboard questions and differentiated questions are included (with answers).

Models the elimination method for solving simultaneous equations. The PowerPoint includes two sets of questions plus associated tasks that can be carried out on mini-white boards. A short assessment activity is included.

The lesson starts by encouraging students to solve simultaneous equations represented pictorially (using letters but not algebra notation) before developing the idea of elimination. The lesson includes white board activities and exercises that reinforce the concepts introduced. Solutions are provided.
