Working on Project-A-Lesson. A full lesson in a PowerPoint. For busy teachers who still want outstanding engaging tasks and learning checks
An example problem pair, a discussion slide on things like 24.98 to 1 d.p. , some miniwhiteboard work, an exercise with answers and a quick plenary learning check.
Changelog: 2 new sections. Changed some answers to address more misconceptions.
Completely redone version of maths pointless.
The countdown is now much, much quicker (as requested).
New questions will also be coming in an update over the following weeks.
Play over numerous rounds and keep score on the board.
All credit to Paul Collins.
Not sure how I feel about some of the decisions here. I’ve introduced a bit of index laws towards the end of the sheet. Is this madness? I thought I would add it to reinforce the difference between simplifying powers and simplifying regular expressions. Maybe it’s too much.
As usual here’s my little justification for the first 10 questions.
A simple one to start
If you change the letter, it’s the same process
You can have multiples of terms
And it doesn’t matter where in the expression they occur
You can have 3 terms
And it doesn’t matter where in the expression they occur
Introducing a negative for the first time. At the end to make it easier
But the negative can occur anywhere! Here it actually makes you use negatives unless you collect the terms first
Introducing terms like bc. It’s not the same as b + c
We can do some division
Later questions cover stuff like ab being the same as ba.
I quite like the last question
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.
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
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.
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
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.
