Matching activity for forming quadratic equations using rectangles<br /> <br /> Pupils need to match the given rectangle to the five steps to the solution<br /> <br /> *Mistake - Square has side lengths 2 and 2 not 3 and 3 as the activity states*

A game I made for solving equations by the quadratic formula. <br /> Split the class into two teams and get them to select their ships on the ppt slide (I got them to pick a 4, 3 and 2 size ships and one team selected them with a red pen and the other green)<br /> I then gave them the sheet with the questions on and they have to solve them to 2 dp. If their answer is on one of their opponents ships then they tell you and you check the question number and answer. If they are right, update the board with a hit. The first team to sink all their opponents ships is the winner!

<p>This resource is a paired activity designed to develop drawing diagrams and understand keywords in Mechanics. The resource has two workbooks, one person gets A and one person gets B. They need to complete the first page independently without talking to each other. One has to complete the diagram using the text and the other has to complete the text using the diagram. They can then check answers with each other to see if they got it right. The second page then reverses roles and gets less scaffolded as questions go on.</p> <p>This was developed as part of my research into Language for Learning, so any feedback would be great :)</p>
