1. A PowerPoint demonstrating angles in a triangle and properties of a triangle.
2. A well designed and differentiated worksheet on properties of triangles and angles allowing pupils to maximise progress
3. PowerPoint contains detailed answers to the worksheet.
Worksheet and PowerPoint on Rotation.
The PowerPoint shows shapes being rotated including tracing paper being put over the shape. Highly visual.
**2022 Update:
PowerPoint now has a diagnostic quiz at the start to cover prior knowledge. (Use mini white boards)
The worksheet has been improved to make it more clear.
James is looking to buy a new hot hatchback car at a reasonable price. He wants to pay off the car over the course of 60 months. When he pays off the car he is going to sell the car.
Help James pick the best value car by comparing the cost of the car and the resell price at the end of the 60 months. You will need to write strong arguments for and against each car. You might even want to take into account the running costs of the car.
Starter: Compound Interest
Main Activity: Compound interest, costing (value for money), direct proportion and mathematical reasoning.
Cars: Ford Fiesta ST, Golf GTi and BMW M118i

A series of lessons on angles in parallel lines.
Pupils learn types of angles without using “z”, “f”, and “c” but lesson still shows them.
Lessons designed to be done in small steps to improve understanding and to go into the topic in greater depth.
The series of lessons is based on a free session from Craig Burton.
