(27/11/17) Updated (All answers are provided) I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of iteration and iterative processes. It begins with a quick stop clock starter to review skills they should already know and will need to use throughout the lesson. The it leads to a discussion about what iteration is using real life concepts such as painting a door. This leads into a slide and discussion on the maths definition of what iterative processes are. Non calculator section Students shouldn't use a calculator/ ans button for these first questions so they can grasp the concept of iteration by physically doing substituting the previous answer in. 1) There are two basic iteration examples, fully animated, for students to follow through with yourself. 2) This the leads to 3 questions for the students to try for them selves. Calculator section Finding x1, x2 and x3 1) Explanation of where to find the ans button on your calculator and how it works. It's useful to get the students to do it on their calculators along with the PowerPoint. 2) 2 examples of iterative process questions that require a calculate. 3) 5 Multiple Choice Questions. Estimating a solution 1) 2 fully animated examples on estimating a solution to a required number of decimal places. 2) 2 questions for the students to try themselves. Rearranging to make an iterative formula 1) 3 different example rearrangements of the same formula 2) Odd one out. Students need to spot which iterative formula isn't a rearrangement of the equation. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1, 2 & 3 and a stretch. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use, however these questions are quite wordy and it may be worth while to print the slide off as a worksheet. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with exam style questions including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have. Miss B

Catchphrase quizzing activity on evaluating harder fractional and negative indices. Answers and catchphrase are provided. (Available in bundle of three catchphrases) I sometimes change the image below to a picture of famous person to add more variation to the game. Students either as individuals or small groups answers questions to reveal part of an image. The more questions the students answer the more of the image is revealed. The winner is the person who manages to say what they see and guess the catch phrase. I’ve included the answer to each catchphrase in the notes box, as well as answers on the second page.

I've designed this resource to allow students to discover through the trigonometric ratio's the exact trig values they now need to remember for their GCSE examinations. Afterwards there is a quick memory technique I use with students to help them quickly find the trig value in an exam situation. The resource then in includes a catch phrase activity where the students have to state either the trig values, ratios or key facts about the trig ratios. The answers are on the slide that follow it. Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation including answers. I hope you find this resource as useful as my current year 10 and 11 students have. Miss B

This is a 10 question quiz and 1 tie breaker question. The questions are all based around order of operations (BIDMAS / BODMAS) and start simple with no brackets, then with brackets and then insert the brackets. Every slide has two questions on, one for team 1 and another for team 2. Each question has 3 possible answers. Click the answer the team has chosen for it to highlight green if correct or red if incorrect. This allows you to open the question up to the other team to steal the point if you wish. I've design it so both teams have similar questions with different numbers at the same time to help prevent any students from being sat there not doing anything. I often ask all students to write their answer for their teams question on a whiteboard and take the majority answer from the team. This again means every student is participating. Each slide also has a star timer at the top. Each star represents 10 seconds and they gradually disappear. I hope you enjoy the quiz Miss B

This is a 10 question quiz and 1 tie breaker question. The questions are all based around expanding single brackets and start simple at 2(x+3) and progress to 3(x+4)-2(x-5).

(All answers are provided) I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of simplifying algebraic expressions by collecting like terms. It begins with a stock take scenario after a robbery and students having to find an expression for the value of missing items to give to the police. This is built up slowly with having to categorise the items not taken, think about quicker ways they could do this and then look at the difference between two stock takes of the items. This then leads into a discussion of the definitions a variable, term and expression. Leading to a discussion opportunity as to whether some expressions displayed on the board could be written differently. There is then a true false activity to discuss and hammer out algebraic notation misconceptions. Leading to 8 different examples of increasing difficulty fully modelled (Delete as appropriate for the class level) After each pair of examples there are two miniature whiteboard questions (16 mini white board questions in total) This then leads to an interactive board game where the students have to come to the board or work in teams to select the expressions which simplify to make a certain expression. There is then a tarsia activity attached. The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1& 2 and a stretch 1 and 2. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use.

No more FFT and no more capping achievement. The targets set on the seating plan are to be aspirational and aiming for the 4 levels of outstanding progress. For the wow effect in lesson observations. A seating plan that shows you all the relevant information you need and cuts down the time it takes to do it. It clearly colour co-ordinates the pupils progress against there target grade. As well as having categories for SEN, Premium pupils, FSM, MEG, LoPs and more. (I advise a brief look at the guide)

A clear way to show a pupils progress with a colour co-coordinating embedded system which links the pupils Assessment point scores against the pupils target grade. The seating plan also provides room to display pupil information about FSM and Premium pupils, as well as a space to write g+t and SEN info. The great thing about it is, it still looks visibly like your classroom layout.

For the wow effect in lesson observations. A seating plan that shows you all the relevant information you need and cuts down the time it takes to do it. It clearly colour co-ordinates the pupils progress against there target grade. As well as having categories for SEN, Premium pupils, FSM, Raise, fft and more. The differences, copy and paste data from sims spreadsheet into the seating plan spreadsheet. The Excel document will type all the information into the relative boxes for you. All you need to do is type the pupil number. (I advise a brief look at the guide)
