<p>This was taught as a one hour lesson on angles on straight lines, around a point &amp; vertically opposite angles. I taught this to a middle ability year 7 group and by the end most students were comfortable with the LO’s</p> <p>Differentiation is through increased difficulty and depth as the questions progress, I use the students’ confidence with the examples to set starting points.</p> <p>Included is:<br /> 1 Presentation<br /> 2 Printable Activity<br /> 3 Printable Extension<br /> 4 Exit Ticket with Feedback indicators</p> <p>I usually display the initial questions on the bard and only print the extension but have included all printable resources.</p> <p>Feedback is much appreciated :)</p>

Decimal Multiplication Problems

This is a resource I used with my high level year 7s based around multiplying decimals.<br /> <br /> The students are required to find the volume of cement needed to complete each job and then the best method of purchasing it, they are then tasked with finding a profit margin in order to calculate a quote for the customer.<br /> <br /> This resource can be easily adapted to make use of calculators for lower ability students.<br /> <br /> This resource makes use of multiple skills including:<br /> Decimal multiplication<br /> Compound Area<br /> Volume<br /> Metric Conversion<br /> Percentages.<br /> <br /> This resource is part of a set of resources I am developing for my KS3 students so watch this space.

Deal or No Deal Probability Game

(1)
<p>I created this as a transition activity for year 6. During the 30min session we discussed probabilities in terms of likely &amp; Unlikely and moved on to probabilities using fractions. The students enjoyed this as the discussion of maths was light but also thought provoking as it was mostly students led.</p> <p>Included:<br /> PowerPoint for removing the revealed values<br /> Box template for printing on red card</p> <p>I have made the boxes deliberately complex so they are sturdy enough to be used more than once. For the values that get revealed I laminated them so that hey could be fixed with blu-tac so that they could be moved around to keep the game fresh. Alternatively you could print out a box image on a piece of card with the money printed on the other side.</p>

Turning through more than 360 degrees

(0)
A booklet for building understanding of turning through more than 360 degrees.<br /> The students first identify how many degrees are in one, two and three turns.<br /> They are then asked to decide whether various 'spins' are multiples of 180.<br /> Finally they are required to calculate how many extra degrees are needed to make the spin equal to a multiple of 180.
