Lesson teaching how to translate and reflect shapes. Works well with a top set year 8 class or middle set year 9. This lesson can be split into 2 for lower ability, separating translations and reflections into separate lessons.

PowerPoint lesson introducing solving equations with a variable on both sides using the balance method, and accompanying tarsia task. Differentiated mastery questions included towards the end of the PowerPoint, and an exit card that includes a worded question coming up with the equation from the question.

Introduces how to find the distance between 2 points, and applies it to a map on a Cartesian coordinate grid (created on desmos.com/calculator)

<p>Linking ratio and quadratic equations</p>

<p>Teach how to find the surface area of cubes and cuboids. Moves on to some problem solving where students are given the area of a face and the volume, or given the area of each face and must calculate the volume.</p>

<p>A marketplace lesson where pupils recreate 3D shapes from a variety of 2D representations of shapes using multi link cubes, including volume, surface area, faces, edges, vertices, nets and elevations.</p>

<p>Find the equation of a quadratic curve using the roots of a curve and expanding double brackets, linking together the ideas of roots, solving quadratic equations and graphic representation</p>

<p>A sequences task that encourages the students to think outside the box, and apply solving equations to sequences, allowing them to more deeply understand what the nth term means, and the relationships between sequences.</p> <p>Good for a top end year 8 or 9 class, or KS4.</p>

Students are required to start to make links between algebra and numbers in a series of investigations that can be used as a stand alone lesson or as several lessons of activities that allow the high ability to delve into the relationships between letters and numbers in depth while allowing the lower ability the opportunity to access the investigations at the level appropriate for them.

<p>Introducing the SUVAT equations and questions that are structured in a logical progression of difficulty</p>

<p>Using the link between speed, distance and time, then thinking about mastering he topic, considering the averages of 2 journeys, allowing the space to analyse the effects of different speeds, distances or times for those journeys, interleaved with surds and algebra</p>

<p>The purpose of this lesson is to encourage a deeper understanding of area and perimeter, prompting students to find links between the two. Students will practice their skills in finding the area of squares, rectangles, triangles and compound shapes, and in finding the perimeter of squares, rectangles and rectilinear compound shapes. Each section of the lesson has a low threshold with a high ceiling so that students of all abilities are easily challenged.</p>

This lesson discusses how to plot a linear graph using the 'y=mx+c', and has a group matching task where students must match the equations to the correct graphs, while higher ability students can fill in the missing equations or plot the missing graphs to show they have mastered the topic.

<p>A task that progresses nicely and allows those who pick this up quickly the chance to think a little more deeply about how to draw 3 dimensional shapes on an isometric grid.</p>

A differentiated worksheet including expanding single brackets, expanding double brackets, and simplifying.

This lesson goes through how to find the locus of a point, a line, then a shape, moving on to lines that show equidistance

<p>Makes use of White Rose free resources and more, combined with a multiple choice learning check to assess progress.</p>

In this activity, students need to find the heights of seats within a planned Olympic Stadium applying their knowledge of tan. You could also extend this to using son or cos by having students find how far people from each tier have to look to be able to see the stadium.<br /> <br /> Answers are provided, and a help sheet is also provided at the end of the instruction sheet.<br /> <br /> Probably best for a mid to high ability KS4 class, or a high ability year 9 class

<p>An introduction to adding and subtracting fractions using the bar model. These 2 PowerPoints include adding and subtracting fractions with common denominators, adding and subtracting from integers, use of the lowest common multiple and bar model to add and subtract fractions of different denominators, a little algebra, and minimally different questions.</p>

<p>An introduction to Substitution, drawing out misconceptions arising from negative numbers and incorrect use of BIDMAS / BODMAS /</p>

<p>Negative enlargements using translations to help find the new locations of each point. A good way of explaining why negative enlargements sends the shape the opposite side of the centre of enlargement.</p>
