Video demonstration of planes of symmetry in real shapes: using play dough. Planes of symmetry of cuboid. Planes of symmetry of triangular prism.

CHALLENGING practice assessment AND main assessment - with answers for both. Spring Term. New maths curriculum. Test covers(skill by skill - referencing DfE bullet points - in order taught & tested rather than DfE order): Number: N1, N2, N4, N7, N5, N15, N10, N11, N9, N3, N8, N12, N16, N6 Algebra: A3, A8, A1, A4, A14, A2, A7, A5, A6, A15, A11, A16, A10, A9, A12, A13 Ratio, Proportion & Rates of Change: RPR3, RPR2, RPR8, RPR1, RPR7, RPR4, RPR5, RPR6 Geometry & Measure: GM1, GM2, GM8, GM9, GM3, GM4, GM5, GM10, GM11 Statistics: S1, S2 Probability: P1, P2

Units follow English DfE National Curriculum. The value added here is the additional detail supporting each unit objective: progression through "Consolidation", "Development", "Securing" and then "Mastering" elements for each objective [n.b. where objectives did not immediately lend themselves to stepped progression for some stages, elements were shared between them on as reasonable a basis as possible]. Why do/use/buy this? Because different pupils (and classes!) have different starting places and ending places and often they and their parents like to know what each objective entails so they can apply "flipped learning" or similar.

Maths Revision for Red Nose Day. *All* monies I recieve from TES website (60% of what you pay) for this resource will be given to Comic Relief. I will keep nothing! What TES choose to do with their 40% is up to them! :-) You can: (i) run it as a plenary on screen. (ii) print the full set of 9 nose's questions on a single sheet of A4 and then photocopy onto a larger (A3) quiz sheet. Answers included for each option in format consistent with the option (one-to-one & block of nine).

To be used after pupils familiar with use of #Pythagoras’ theorem, properties of #isosceles #triangles and #symmetry and sum of #internal #angles of a triangle. Gentle, steady, step-by-step progress.

Begins with two separate types of one-step equation to solve. Approaches each with varying levels of difficulty (Shanghai style). Then to the two-step equation. All can be approached with function machine approach if necessary. Extension/Next lesson: unknown on both sides of the equation.

A gentle hint as to why a squared x is not the same as an x. With an associated homework to assess learning. Might conclude by asking which value(s) of x allow mathematicians to add the coefficients of x's and squared x's with gay abandon; and how one could ever guarantee such a value of x will occur.

This resource forces pupils to realise the limits of particular types of data: primary and secondary. It also enables them to take a few first steps towards working out how they might estimate a mean if they cannot calculate one precisely. As a bonus it also allows them to think of how they might find a mode and a median from secondary data.

A set of three colourful questions to encourage pupils to understand: (i) why angle-naming conventions exist and (ii) how to apply them.

New Curriculum. Two-year timeline, scheme of work & termly (unit-by-unit) progress maps. Timeline prints best as A5 booklet for pupils, parents and staff. Same with termly (unit-by-unit) progress maps. Designed to incorporate your school's additional details. Editable.

A mind-opening starter pair.

An entry wordsearch with an associated card sort. Use Adobe's own .pdf viewer to print the card sort at two pages per sheet if you want it on A5 (remember to exclude the first, wordsearch, page if you do). Other sizes you can select for yourself.
