This animated PowerPoint can be used as part of a mastery style curriculum such as the White Rose Maths Secondary Scheme or to complement any secondary maths scheme. It has been written to lead students through using bar models to solve more complex problems found in KS3 and KS4. Key words have been highlighted throughout in blue and all worksheets are also provided separately as a pdf for ease of printing. Please also look out for a separate resource called “ratio with bar models”. It is a precursor to this PowerPoint and helps to introduce students to bar models and their uses. I hope you find it useful :-)

A selection of worksheets, matching cards and follow me cards on equivalence and equality. These resources have been put together from planning I did for the White Rose Maths Secondary scheme of learning. Due to the conceptual variation, these resources will suit a mastery curriculum and a more traditional curriculum.

A set of worksheets on solving 1 step equations using multiplication and division. These worksheets are ideal for a mastery curriculum as they contain conceptual and procedural variation and will also fit into other SOW. These worksheets are also available as part of other packs of resources I have written for the White Rose Scheme (Autumn term block 3 week 5 and week 6 “equality and equivalence”) and see below https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planning-for-white-rose-maths-secondary-autumn-term-1-block-3-week-5-equality-and-equivalence-11987328?theme=0 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planning-for-white-rose-maths-secondary-autumn-term-1-block-3-week-6-equality-and-equivalence-12026665

8 worksheets on solving 1 step equations using + and - These worksheets are ideal for a mastery curriculum as they contain conceptual and procedural variation and will also fit into other SOW. These worksheets are also available as part of a pack of resources I have written for the White Rose Maths Secondary Scheme (Autumn term block 3 week 5 “equality and equivalence”) see below https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planning-for-white-rose-maths-secondary-autumn-term-1-block-3-week-5-equality-and-equivalence-11987328?theme=0

Place Value Moveable Counters for Interactive Whiteboard. Suitable for use with The White Rose Maths SOL, Power Maths or other Mastery or conventional SOL. I have included 3 separate pages for the teacher to move between questions. Includes Ones, Tens, Hundreds and Thousands. To use this resource, you will need to use the powerpoint not in presenter mode so that you can drag the counters across the screen and demonstrate exchanges. If you need more counters, simply copy and paste.

A full lesson on angles in polygons. Home in on the definition of a polygon and expel misconceptions surrounding the word polygon and properties of polygons. Teach exterior angles in polygons first as the majority of exam questions do not need students to have memorised the formula (n-2) x 180 and the majority of questions can indeed be answered without remembering this formula. I have provided some exam question practice using intelligent practice, leading children through scaffolded examples. There is also a short video explaining each of the slides and why they are there. Would suit a mastery curriculum and fit in with any of the White Rose Maths small steps.

One of the most asked questions I hear children say is “why maths” They often feel they don’t use or need maths and only see it for use in temperature or money! Here I have put together some ideas where they or their parent/carers are using maths everyday. Feel free to add more ideas or comment here on where I can add more!

A pack of printable resources suitable for use with The White Rose Maths SOL, Power Maths or other mastery or conventional SOL. Includes: Tens Frames, Place Value Tables (to use with or without place value counters), Hundred Square, Blank Hundred Square, Fact Families, Blank Clock Faces, Part Whole Models, How many different ways, Isometric Paper, Square Dotty Paper, Graph Paper, Bar Models & Number lines for 10ths, 8ths, 5ths, 3rds, 4ths, directed number line, Geologian blank boxes, Blank Bar models. These resources are designed for teachers to print and put inside plastic wallets for students to write on with dry wipe pens (and save on printing costs). They can of course be used individually and projected onto an Interactive Whiteboard. They are particularly useful as the resources are all together in one place.

This unit of work on function machines contains at least 5 lessons, a fully animated powerpoint, worksheets and activities in a mastery style approach to teaching. Suggested activities are given for use of afl (eg miniwhiteboards), the use of manipulatives where appropriate and also provides suggestions for carrying out each slide or activity. This work has been put together from the planning I have done from the White Rose Maths scheme and can also be found in the work I have uploaded for week 2 and week 3. (IF YOU ALREADY HAVE PURCHASED THESE, YOU CAN PUT THEM TOGETHER YOURSELF AND THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO BUY THIS RESOURCE). It contains at least 5 lessons worth of work depending on the class and age of students, length of lesson and time allowed to teach it. Suggestions are given where lessons may start and end but that is up to individual teachers, the length and number of lessons per week. Whilst I prefer the WRM small steps and the order they are teaching things, I also recognise that not all schools are following the WRM scheme. Some schools have not yet moved over to a mastery curriculum but can use the WRM scheme for some excellent ideas, especially for reasoning and problem solving type activities. Staff have asked me to put topics together from the WRM scheme so that the work can be used alongside other schemes and other year groups and for revision. If you decide to use this with KS4, feel free to change the images to suit an older audience (obviously ensuring you own the images for copyrite purposes). I personally find that it isn’t necessary to change images but that is personal preference. It covers the WRM small steps as follows • Given a numerical input, find the output of a single function machine • Use inverse operations to find the input given the output • Use diagrams and letters with single function machines • Find the function machine given a simple expression • Find numerical inputs and outputs for a series of two function machines • Use diagrams and letters with a series of two function machines I hope you find it useful :-)

A series of lessons on expanding and factorising single brackets and expanding and factorising quadratics. The lessons guide students through each step using intelligent practice and exposes them to all the eventualities they are likely to see when presented with these questions. For eg, when expanding single brackets, I have shown all the eventualities of having all positive terms in and outside the brackets, 1 negative, 2 negatives and all negatives. This can help students to develop a deep understanding of how a negative can affect the different parts of the answer and how it affects what is going on inside the brackets when factorising. It also eliminates questions like “there is a negative in front of the x, what do i do now”. This series of lessons fits well with a mastery curriculum as we can ask “what’s the same and what’s different, how will it affect our answer” as we go through the slides. I have added the powerpoint and worksheets to print out for the students.

This 2 week unit of work on patterns and sequences contains a fully animated powerpoint, worksheets and activities in a mastery style approach to teaching. Suggested activities are given for use of afl (eg miniwhiteboards), the use of manipulatives where appropriate and also provides suggestions for carrying out each slide or activity. This work has been put together from the planning I have done from the WRM scheme and can also be found in the work I have uploaded for week 1 and week 4. (If you already have purchased these, you can put them together yourself and there will be no need to buy this resource). It contains approximately 2 week’s worth of work depending on the class and age of students and time allowed to teach it. For eg, the first lesson I actually allow about 3 lessons to complete, some schools may not have the time to do this depending on their SOL. Suggestions are given where lessons may start and end but that is up to individual teachers, the length and number of lessons per week. Whilst I prefer the WRM small steps and the order they are teaching things, I also recognise that not all schools are following the WRM scheme and so by putting topics together, the work can also be used in other schemes and other year groups and for revision. If you decide to use this with KS4, feel free to change the images to suit an older audience (obviously ensuring you own the images for copyrite purposes). I personally find that it isn’t necessary to change images but that is personal preference. There is at this stage, no formal mention of nth term yet the later lessons address position to term terminology and lead themselves onto nth term depending on whether the students are there yet. It covers the WRM small steps as follows • Describe and continue a sequence given diagrammatically • Predict and check the next term(s) of a sequence • Represent sequences in tabular and graphical forms • Recognise the difference between linear and non linear sequences • Continue numerical non linear sequences • Explain the term to term rule for numerical sequences in words • Find missing terms within sequences • Generate sequences given an algebraic rule I hope you find it useful :-)
