Introduction to Loci - no worksheets needed
Teaching loci often involves lots of photocopied worksheets, so I wanted something that I could display on the board that needed little preparation.<br />
<br />
Pupils should have prior knowledge of perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors.<br />
<br />
The first page involves pupils working out four loci. They should follow the instructions, place points that fit into the rule and see what the pattern the loci will make.<br />
The loci are:<br />
Points 6cm from a point.<br />
Points 4cm from a line.<br />
Points equidistant from two points.<br />
Points closer to one line than another.<br />
<br />
After these four examples on the first page there are five others for pupils to attempt that build on the skills used in the first four. They all start from a 8cm by 6cm rectangle so pupils can easily put them in their books without worksheets.<br />
<br />
Answers are included.<br />
This is the first resource I have uploaded - any feedback welcome.
