Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students practicing key skills without using drill questions, and they are self-checking! Follow the trail of questions and answers to form a complete loop around the classroom. This mini-scavenger hunt is ideal for EAL, lower ability or as a quick starter activity. The questions include key mathematical vocabulary such as “more than” or “less than” and have a number line visual on each station, with solutions ranging from negative to positive ten.

Circle Theorems Complete Introductory or Revision Lesson(s)

Circle theorems are an essential tool in the Higher Tier Maths GCSE so it is important for students to get clear and precise explanations, along with integrated pratise questions, from the start. This complete lesson has been designed to serve as an introduction to the topic of circle theorems, and slides are fully animated with step-by-step definitions and examples. Each circle theorem is covered in depth with key vocabulary and examples of “special cases”, when the circle theorem may look different or be hidden. Sections have been created to allow for easy searching, and “test your knowledge” breaks throughout. As this resource covers all 8 theorems you can expect this to span several lesson-times according to your students’ needs. Slides can also be used as a revision resource, either in class or in a revision workshop or drop in. There is a relevant starter/settler activity provided at the beginning and all answers to questions are available throughout. BONUS: along with the 57 fully animated slides, there are also 20+ original circle theorems questions including classic style questions, circle theorems with algebra and “hidden” problem-solving style questions. Also highlighted are key skills that examiners love to interweave into circle theorem questions! BONUS 2: a printer-friendly, questions-only, student worksheet that gives space for annotations and calculations. Designed to be used as a ‘follow along’ to the lesson but a worthy stand-alone resource in its own right.
