A few pie charts that represent funny ideas or jokes. The idea is that students get a feel for how pie charts work. I used it as a Y7 starter to generate discussion. The 'how often charts don't make sense' pie chart is particularly good for this. As always, please rate and comment with suggests and ideas. Thanks :)

Finding/Using algebra/vertically opposite NOTE: I update stuff often, but don’t always get around to changing the file on TES. The latest version of this resource can always be found here.

Inspiration from Mr Mattock (@mrmattock on twitter). Going from using diagrams to doing it without the diagram.

Full (couple of) lesson (s). Lots of stuff.

Writing and using index notation Massively based off Jo Morgan’s superb work going in depth on indices. http://www.resourceaholic.com/p/topics-in-depth.html

Full lessons. Covers a few discussion points, and goes through how to find experimental probabilities from tables. You should probably print off the questions as they go over two pages.

Simple PowerPoint Multiplying decimals both from scratch and using previous facts. Ie 43 x 56 = 2408, what is 4.3 x 5.6? Includes example problem pairs and two exercises. Everything you need to teach this topic.

CHANGELOG 4/10/21 Fixed some formatting errors Simple stuff. Example problem pairs, so exercises. I’m sure there’s loads more interesting things you can do here. I used some extra stuff I found on resourceaholic for some practice. Probably at least 3/4 lessons in these slides.

Powerpoint covers everything. There’s a starter, some pattern spotting, an exercises for both multiplying and dividing (but no mixed exercise) and a plenary. Maybe there’s not enough drill practice here. But you can use mathsbot for that. Enough for two lessons I think. We don’t spend enough time on negatives.

Ungrouped. Starter Example problem pair Two sets of questions, one thinking about symmetry in the data Plenary Does not include using the average to find missing values in the table.

KS3 Coordinate Geometry Starter Example/Problem pair Midpoints miniwhiteboard work and an exercise Then a stolen exercise from Don Steward thats AMAZING, finding the coordinates of the vertices of shapes. That’s why I’ve called it coordinate geometry rather than just midpoints.

A very simple Powerpoint, with a starter, an example problem pair, some questions (including some rearranging equations practice) and a plenary.

Simple little powerpoint A little prior knowledge starter, an example problem pair, some questions I wrote, some exam questions and a plenary.

Talking about spotting number bonds for addition and grouping your subtrahends for subtraction to make doing a calculation much simpler. A exercise on each.

Introduction to vector geometry. Includes examples and two exercises. One on simple questions where you just have to add the vector ‘routes’ and one that throws in some mid point stuff. NO PARALLEL LINES, COLINEAR POINTS OR PROOF HERE

A lesson on calculating efficiently with multiplication. Things like 5×17×2 (regrouping) 9×2+9×8 (distributive)

PowerPoint on column multiplication. *Starter with a focus on commutativity etc *Example problem pair to teach with *Some questions (a bit of a boring exercise, sorry) *A blooket *5 QQ to finish.

A really simple starter that should be the jumping off points for discussion. Loads of numbers with zeroes in. Some needed. Some not. Some COULD be needed (if you’re dealing with currency or bearings etc) A conversation starter.

A lot of different example problem pairs linked to ratio skills. Linked to some Dr Frost key skills and with some exercises.

Simple powerpoint containing some example problem pairs (best to print) and some questions on simple single event probability.
