PPT with example problem pairs for estimating square and cube roots along with three small exercises covering squares, cubes and using estimation to find the side length of shapes.

CHANGELOG 22/09/2021 - Corrected the second exercise Covers a few cases eg -Root 8 = 2 root 2 -2Root8 = 4Root2 -Simpifying with fractions and canceling a common term. A not huge. A starter. A little activity on what is a surd. A good amount of example/problem pairs. Two question sets. Some exam questions and five quick questions at the end. Included worksheet is merely a copy of what’s on the PowerPoint.

Introduction to vector geometry. Includes examples and two exercises. One on simple questions where you just have to add the vector ‘routes’ and one that throws in some mid point stuff. NO PARALLEL LINES, COLINEAR POINTS OR PROOF HERE

Example problem pair and an exercise to do. Plus 5 quick questions, two exam questions and some multiple choice shenanigans aimed at hinting at the skills needed to rationalise the denominator.

KS3 Coordinate Geometry Starter Example/Problem pair Midpoints miniwhiteboard work and an exercise Then a stolen exercise from Don Steward thats AMAZING, finding the coordinates of the vertices of shapes. That’s why I’ve called it coordinate geometry rather than just midpoints.

Full (couple of) lesson (s). Lots of stuff.

Just the cosine rule. Finding the side Finding the angle Example problem pairs (see https://berwickmaths.com/ for an explanation of this) and some questions. Not much of putting it all together but a quick exercise in picking which rule to use. There is an exam question included, a hard one that involves using cosine and then basic trig to find an angle. I did this over two lessons. Finding the side was one lesson, finding the angle the next lesson

Powerpoint covers everything. There’s a starter, some pattern spotting, an exercises for both multiplying and dividing (but no mixed exercise) and a plenary. Maybe there’s not enough drill practice here. But you can use mathsbot for that. Enough for two lessons I think. We don’t spend enough time on negatives.

Examples of when it’s easy to multiply up, when you need to reduce then multiply and when you need to use a calculator. Then loads of questions, including some whiteboard questions.

An example problem pair A nice set of questions where students have to decide why two problems have been paired (a bit variation theory-esque) Lots of questions, including a big set of questions on moving between radius/diameter and circumference. Some whiteboard work A problem solving question I came up with A learning check NOTE : TES is annoying for keeping stuff up to date. I often change my powerPoints to add stuff and make them better, or simply to correct errors in maths and presentation. The latest version will always be found here.

Starter Some example problem pairs Some whiteboard work and an exercise on plotting coordinates and making shapes. Then an exercise on translating coordinates (ie 1 right , 3 up from (8,7)) and an exercise on reading x and y values from coordinates. Then a plenary. About 2 lessons worth.

A worksheet attempting to combine Craig Barton’s ideas on variation theory (only changing one part at a time) and Dani and Hunal’s ideas around making students make choices. I’ve tried to build up to that. Maybe by trying to combine both I miss the point of each. Would love criticisms and thoughts.

A little PowerPoint on division with whole number outcomes. A starter, example problem pair, an exercise, a problem solving bit and a plenary.

Deals with simplifying two part, three part ratios. Also includes a simplifying ratio colouring in puzzle, with loads of odd and weird ratios to discuss.

There is tons here. Enough easily for a weeks worth of work. A starter, some whiteboard work, some problem solving, an exercise (with answers) , plenaries, all broken down into adding and then subtracting directed numbers.

Lots and lots of stuff on Column addition and subtraction along with talk about efficient calculations like shifts, using the correct language talk about association and commutativity. Some example problem pairs, loads of exercises with answers and some plenaries. Enough for 2/3 lessons here.

Very simple powerpoint Starter, example problem pair, exercise, a problem solving problem and a plenary.

Two example problem pairs, covering both ‘regular’ examples but also examples where you need to do order of operations within a fraction. Three exercises and a learning check.

Simple little powerpoint A little prior knowledge starter, an example problem pair, some questions I wrote, some exam questions and a plenary.

Areas of circles lesson. Includes Example problem pairs Lots of activities Links to some mini whiteboard random questions A learning check. Probably two lessons. Quite in-depth.
