Survey to find the cost people with pay for a Bacon Sandwich followed by 3 activities to create a pictogram, scatter graph and a bar graph. Because I work in a special school we have been able to make and sell bacon sandwiches which has been motivating for pupils.

A one lesson long maths problem devoted to answering this question. Differentiated to 4 levels and including a further extension. For the easiest it leads learners through the problems step by step. Moving to the most difficult where they will have to research the costs and work out how to calculate the cost independently. The extension task calls for students to present how and why their method works as well as consider how the problem changes if new ingredients are added. Because I work in a Special School we have access to a kitchen so I have been able to link this with life skills work on preparing food and to vocational learning about setting up and running a cafe. We have also been able to make sandwiches which has been very motivational. More problems like this to follow. A little tweaking may be needed for learners who don’t eat bacon.

A selection of resources for a lesson or lessons about the poem Jabberwocky. I ask students to find 10 nonsense words in the poem. Use the planning sheet to help them design monster. Write a description of their monster. Write a story of poem about their monster using some words they have made up, or made up words from the poem. Here you may need to spend some time deciding what these words mean. Finally an activity on non-fiction writing to support pupils to include titles, sub-titles, captions and to write in paragraphs. Use the example about Komodo dragons to spot these features. Use the information about Swordfish (easier) and Ichthyosaurus (harder as headings are not included and the information is not in order) or your own research to write your own non-fiction article about a real life monster.
