The brief was "Teach 'Best Value for Money' at GCSE Foundation level to a Year 10 class of 25 students with 2 EAL students.
The main part of the lesson is the students completing 14 questions on Best Value. The questions have been very carefully selected to increase in difficulty. Everything else works around that. Some of the questions came from the Web, some from examination practice paper software and some I made up.
The Misleading Prices starter presents supermarket price labels with unusual offers on which prompts an interest at the start and provides some good starting discussion.
The Baked Beans plenary was made more visual by me having the actual tins in those sizes for the student to look at and pass around.
You need to read the lesson plan first and you'll see how it all fits together. It was used for a one hour lesson where I tried to exemplify everything I could about my style of teaching and my knowledge of how to show progress in a lesson.
The lesson plan had been scrutinized by a Maths HOD, a SENCO and a Headteacher who had given input for me to improve it before hand. It was designed to have minimal teacher talk and lots of the students working.
The lesson plan details all the prior knowledge needed and then everything I could think of to use in the next few lessons so it is a complete module of work for Best Value.
In hindsight after the event:
I should have had more picture questions prepared for the EAL students.
There should had been more teaching of the different methods at the start
This resource represents a huge investment of my time as I had a week to prepare and improve on it. You are getting an outstanding lesson resource which although you will need to adapt to your own lesson style I think you will have to do little to modify the resources as all the ideas are there. It is pretty comprehensive.
