The story of Pythagoras and Hippasus and the discovery of irrational numbers. Please read the PowerPoint slide notes to understand what each slide is about. An engaging and perhaps slightly elaborated historical tale! Suitable for any level. Discussions regarding the infinite number of permutations of numbers within irrational numbers can be truly mind-blowing! Imagine if every two digits was used to encode a letter of the alphabet... What stories would be hidden within?!

Five colourful and engaging questions on individual sheets designed to be laminated and worked on in groups. The questions encourage the use of critical thinking through trial & improvement although they could be investigated algebraically for high-ability groups or extension work.

Carefully-designed to develop a deep understanding of substitution without having to pre-teach any fixed methods. For the best result print in colour on two sheets of A4 and laminate them together back to back. The reverse side can then be filled in with a board marker which the students really enjoy. Colourful, engaging and encourages critical thinking. One of my favourite resources.

Uses simple yet carefully-designed equations that develop a deep understanding of the fundamentals of solving equations. Can be used as a self-discovery exercise whereby students are not taught how to solve equations, but must explore which value for each letter would make the equation true.

A worksheet based on the TakTile concept: using shapes to represent algebraic variables. This really makes students think about algebra in a different way and can help visual/kinaesthetic learners get their heads around algebra. A resource/concept that can be extended indefinitely. Designed to be printed as a two-sided colourful A4 laminate and includes large versions of the shapes to be printed on card or laminated for kinaesthetic representation and manipulation.
