The Napier Code

(0)
The Napier Code is a 6 lesson mathematics unit that explores patterns and sequences within number through an immersive story telling experience. It’s effectively a play on the Da Vinci Code but uses the Scottish Mathematician John Napier as the central figure in a deathly treasure hunt around Edinburghs landmarks. Covered are: Fibonacci Numbers The Golden Spiral The Number 9 Quadratic Sequences Pascals Triangle The Vedic Square

A quick lesson that explores mortgages and sees pupils using their knowledge of multiplication and percentages to garner an underatanding of how the property market works.

Following on from ‘They Change’ and ‘From Beneath’ this is another whole class story that is aimed at upper primary/early secondary pupils. What would happen to Earth without the Moon? A thrilling tale that rockets from laughs to deep dilemma . Peppered with cliffhangers and deep questions, this story is sure to keep your class on the edge of their seats throughout. Another wonderful story from Mr Minchin, delighted to see that links can be made to the Global Goals and UNCRC in every chapter. Twelve Chapters in all (12 lessons) each no more than two A4 pages, meaning you print these out easily enough and distribute to your class. In my own setting, our P6 and P7 pupils have iPads and I airdrop the chapters to them using the Notes app, which allows for read aloud, word lookup etc I usually task the class with 3 reads - one in their head, the other with their partner and a third taking turns with paragraphs. By P7, you can often drop this to two reads. The tasks are designed to follow the same pattern every lesson. Some quickfire questions to consolidate key concepts, a comprehension task (I would have mine do this in their jotters/books) and then a creative, hands on task (again, having iPads means the class can use Clips/Keynote/Sketchbook/Minecraft and more but very easy to adapt to your setting if you lack the ICT).
