One page of differentiated (red, amber, green) questions where students must find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras' theorem.

This is a crossword and wordsearch with ratio and proportion vocabulary. Ratio and proportion is now 25% of the foundation paper and it is being used across questions in other topics so it's essential that students understand what they are being asked. This resource would be useful as - revision - lesson starter - settling activity - cover work - end of term activity - extension task - literacy support for EAL or SEND students - literacy across the curriculum - assessment for learning or afl task Contains printable pdf and answers for the crossword and wordsearch. For differentiation I have included a wordsearch and a crossword using similar vocabulary. The wordsearch is easier. The learning objective is to introduce or revise ratio and proportion vocabulary in a fun and relaxing way. This activity could be used at the start of a topic to introduce key vocabulary by having students fill out as much as they can independently and then check their answers and fill in the gaps using the answer sheet provided. Once students have all the answers they can save the crossword to refer to during the course as a useful list of vocab and definitions. This would help students with dyslexia to spell the vocab correctly and would enable all students with high language needs to refer back to the definitions as required to allow them to access later lessons. After filling in the crossword students could be asked to annotate the crossword with examples or mnemonics for the vocab to aid understanding and recall. This activity could also be used for revision where students might complete several crosswords in a lesson or for homework. They would work at their own pace to identify areas where they need focus their revision. This activity is for teachers, tutors, special needs teachers, teaching assistants, after school club organizers and parents or students looking for revision activities. If you find this resource useful please consider leaving a review and trying some of my paid vocabulary word searches and crosswords on other topics.
