7a Tangrams - amazing things to do with them (pdf)

(1)
A pdf of a 25 slide PowerPoint that shows an incredible amount of things you can do with a 7 piece tangram. It covers 2D shapes, angles, area, proportion, percentages, fractions, square-roots, symmetry, compass directions, algebra, bearings and vectors. There is at least a weeks material for a KS3 or KS4 class and also could be used as revision. Please review it if you download it and put it to good use. The ideas used are adaptable and could be used for other square based patterns. If you think this is good, wait until you see the PowerPoint. It has interesting animations and some of the ideas are easier to access through animation.

4a Additive reasoning for teenagers (pdf)

(0)
A pdf of a 42 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to additive for teenage students who have difficulties with mental maths . It employs a Linear Model for addition and subtraction. It narrows the use of manipulatives to the counting stick, multilink cubes and base 10 materials. It is designed to be used for Maths Dept CPD rather than for teaching students although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. The actual Powerpoint is available to purchase and has animation to enable conceptual development to be brought into sharper focus. Some slides are difficult to interpret without the animation.

6a Links with quadratics (xlsx)

(3)
A spreadsheet that makes clear the links between graphs of quadratic functions and intercepts, turning points and symmetry. It is completely editable. It works best with a=1 since the aspect of completing the square and bracket factoring need a more sophisticated approach (version 2?). It includes a blank template for students to complete. Let me know in a review if you have any further suggestions for improvement.
