A worksheet cobbled together for substituting into formula. Questions taken from CIMT and formatted to cater for needs of the class.
Please note that this only focuses on substituting, not rearranging, even when the questions get harder.
Students need to follow the instructions using different combinations of numbers, they should find a pattern emerging. Can be then expanded to include 4 digit numbers, and to look for exceptions.
I wanted to bring my maths classroom closer to the real world, and specifically the problems and changes that we face. I wanted a resource that would raise awareness of important issues in society, invite discussion in a maths classroom, and spur action.
So these resources place key fraction skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with fraction change and fractions of amounts. **
It provides an opportunity to practice problem solving in new contexts, and highlights the power that maths has to quantify issues and help address them. The numbers and statistics are all very close to the real numbers, often rounded to make it easier to work with in a classroom.
Feel free to add your own and adjust and help take maths into the world and its challenges!
A resource designed to help students practise two way tables. Differentiated to increase in difficulty. Some questions, gratefully, taken from other sources.
An activity designed to get students to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in an example question. Print off individually or for pairs and discuss at the board.
An activity designed to help students with misconceptions. Students need to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in the the questions.
Print out individually or for pairs and put up on the board to discuss.
An exercise I enjoy giving classes to reverse their role. They need to correct the answers and, in this case, the reasoning too.
Good for a class discussion afterwards too.
A whole notebook lesson ready to go. Includes starter, spaces for modelling to the whole class and then questions with answers for them to practice. Builds up to questions in context too.
An activity designed to help students with misconceptions. Students need to identify, discuss and rectify mistakes in the two GCSE questions.
Print out individually or for pairs and put up on the board to discuss.
