Final lesson before the end of unit test on break-even.
Flip the classroom.
Ask students to explain to you as the teacher each of the different aspects of break-even analysis.
Start with the first word, and go round the class building the response up.
Once you are satisfied that the term has been defined and exemplified, move on to the next word.
By the end of the lesson, revision will have occurred and you will have filled students with the confidence to do a break-even test!

Target: Year 3
Group: Pupils struggling with keeping handwriting consistent size.
Background to resource: This resource was developed to help my son in Year 3 with his handwriting. He saw handwriting as a 'chore' and his writing kept changes sizes throughout a sentence. We named the groups of letters, and discussed them, and then he practised using my guide. His handwriting is looking better now, so I hope this resource can help other teachers too.
Target: Year 3
Group: Pupils struggling with keeping letters the correct way round
Background to resource: This resource was developed to help my son in Year 3 with his handwriting. He saw handwriting as a 'chore' and when tired, he would put letters facing in the wrong direction. We named the groups of letters that he commonly got wrong, and discussed them in terms of facing towards the left hand (gdqy) and the right-hand (bkpts), and then he practised using my guide. His letters generally face in the correct direction now, so I hope this resource can help other teachers too.
