A worksheet for students to practice using scales. Students have to measure the pictures and then use the scale to find the real-life object’s size. Calculator required! Answers provided.

This is a full lesson covering Scale Drawing. It takes the student through understanding the concept of scale and proportion, using scales to producing scale drawings. The lesson comprises: Engaging starter to stimulate ideas around the topic. Two teaching slides on proportion and understanding how to read a scale expressed as a ratio. Three illustrated slides showing how to use the scale to find dimensions. Two slides of differentiated practice questions (with answers!) Two extra slides of mixed questions (with answers). Two further slides around creating own scale drawings. One project slide on producing a scale drawing of the school grounds. Plenary drawing out the main learning points. 16 slides in total This lesson could be squeezed into one hour or delved into more fully over two lessons, particularly if the students are producing their own scale drawings. Feedback welcome. Thanks Jamie

A quick PowerPoint I use with a new class to encourage them that being good at maths requires them to be willing to give it a go and not be afraid of getting stuck!

This pack contains 5 different maths activities based around a wildlife park. Each activity is centered around a different area of mathematics and a different aspect of the park. The pack is designed to give the pupils an insight into the running of a wildlife park and an understanding of the vital role mathematics plays in its operation. The pack is ideal for a series of maths lessons that you want to tie in with a visit to a zoo/conservation park or simply practicing maths skills in a real-life context. The whole pack would take around 3 or 4 hours to complete. Task 1: map scales, compass directions, distance and area (level 3) - based around a map of WIllow Wildlife Park. Task 2: money operations (level 3) - based around the park gift shop. Task 3: designing and costing a new bear enclosure (level 2/3). Task 4: time (level 3/4) - based around a volunteer’s working day at the park. Task 5: pie chart, percentages (level 4/5) - based around the annual report of the park detailing income sources. All question answers included. This pack has been repeatedly used successfully with a whole yr7 year group before a wildlife park visit. It would also be suitable for primary year 6 children. I hope your students enjoy the activities as much as ours have. Feedback warmly welcome.

Lesson one has: Starter activity plotting co-ordinates Introduces the students to lines parallel to the axes on the co-ordinate grid. Differentiated activity drawing and naming lines parallel to the x and y axis. Plenary Lesson two has: A starter using co-ordinates in all four quadrants. Main teaching point; plotting an equation by first creating co-ordinate pairs from the equation. Differentiated activity giving the students four equations to plot by themselves. Plenary Both lessons are aimed at students working at GCSE level 4.

This is a fantastic resource created to be used regularly as a starter to really boost students' confidence in their numeracy skills. The resource is created in excel to provide randomly generated questions for the old level 3 and 4 topics on the numeracy curriculum. There are 13 sets of 10 progressively more difficult questions.

This PowerPoint is intended to provide the structure and material to teach a whole lesson on Function Machines and Inverse Operations. The lesson includes the following parts: starter to introduce inverse operations, activity using function machines beginning with the input, introduction to reversing a function machine to find the input beginning with the output, exercises practicing this skill, using function machines and inverse operations to solve problems exercise, plenary.

PowerPoint presentation primarily aiming to give students practice plotting quadratic equations. The lesson however also encourages the students to first think how the next equation they are plotting differs from the first and then predict how its shape will differ on the graph. The lesson therefore also introduces graph transformations. Included are screen prints of the resulting graphs the students will plot. The lesson is also duplicated using cubic equations for the more able students.
