A lesson to introduce expanding quadratics with a focus on positives only. The lesson uses algebra tiles to model the structure behind expanding quadratics before progressing into grid method. Ideally the students would have seen algebra tiles before, but there are some slides explaining and modelling these if they haven’t seen them before. Lesson structure: Do it now on expanding single brackets (with answers) Recap of algebra tiles Examples of modelling of expanding quadratics with algebra tiles, then leading into a more abstract grid method. I try, you try style examples Task for students to notice patterns and links between ‘b’ and ‘c’ (Credit to Miss Konstantine @GiftedHKO) - with answers Multiple choice AfL questions Student tasks (3 sheets) - Do it, secure it, deepen it, apply it - Answers provided Links to AO1, AO2 and AO3 Review of lesson with answers Please see my other lessons for lessons of a similar style. Expanding single brackets as a prerequisite lesson. Expanding quadratics coefficient more than 1 as a follow up. OR check out the bundle with 3 lessons on expanding brackets Thanks

A lesson to introduce expanding single brackets. Algebra tiles are used to model expanding brackets, focusing on forming expressions at the start of the lesson. This would be a good introduction to algebra tiles. The lesson aims to reveal the structure behind expanding brackets and link to the fact that it is an area model. Do it now on collecting like terms Introdcution/recap to algebra tiles Writing expressions and how we can represent expressions using algbera tiles.

Puzzle, plenary or starter. Short activity suitable for KS3 and KS4. A crossword where students find the volume of each cuboid and write the answers in numbers. One number goes in each square, eg 123 would take up 3 squares.

This is a series of lessons designed as a visual introduction to simultaneous equations. The bundle of lessons consists of four lessons and a mini assessment at the end. The lessons are structured as follows: Lesson 1 - Positive coefficients which are the same Lesson 2 - Negative and positive coefficients that re the same Lesson 3 - Different coefficients Lesson 4 - A summary with mixed questions and problem solving The lessons includes fully animated examples to make concepts clear, true/false tasks and looks to link in some decimals and fractions within the main tasks. The lesson has taken inspiration from a mastery style and starts off heavily focusing on using visual bar models to represent the simultaneous equations and later on looks at how we can write this algebraically. The bar models are used to make concepts clear to students but gradually removed and the links between the diagrams and algebraic methods are made explicit. There is a plenary review all of the topics covered. A mention must be given to Pixi Maths as there are two slides at the beginning of L1 which were excellent and borrowed from a Pixi Maths PPT. Hope this is useful, please leave a review if it is or any constructive criticism.

A full lesson for a GCSE class or more able KS3 class. The lesson inlcudes: A retrieval practise starter Key notes and video I try, you try examples for volume of a cone I try, you try examples - in terms of pi A worksheet split up in to fluency, reasoning and problem solving I try, you try for working backwards to find a height/radius given the volume. Problem solving questions make links to triangular prisms, cylinders and density. Answers included Worked example for frustum Summary task I hope it is useful, if you have any feedback please let me know in the comments below. Please check out my other resources. Thank you

A complete lesson, definitely enough to last 2-3 lessons. (43 slides) The lesson uses algebra tiles to represent factorising quadratics and completing the square. Previous use of algebra tiles is preferable but the way the lesson has been designed it is accessible if students might not be familiar with them, Representations is one of the 5 big ideas of mastery. The lesson includes: Do it now (Thanks to Mr CarterMaths) Recap of expanding using algebra tiles (Thanks Mathsbot for the representations) Demonstration of how to factorise quadratics using algebra tiles Tasks for students on factorising quadratics (including when coefficient of x squared is more than 1. Variation questions that lead into perfect squares (What do you notice? If I change this then what will happen?) Demonstration of how to complete the square, side by side with representation Prompt questions based on completing the square Tasks for students to practise completing the square using diagrams. Faded guidance task to support students writing this algebraically. All answers are provided throughout AO2 reasing questions and problem solving questions built in. Examples of completing the square with negative signs Tasks for students to practise questions with mixed signs. Review it now to recap learning Printable templates. Please check out my other resources, particularly the other ones on expanding brackets using algebra tiles which may be useful before this. Any feedback/mistakes please let me know so I can correct! Hope it is useful, thank you.

Reveal a bit of a the picture at a time, asking students to guess who the person is. Easily adapted for various subjects. I use it for maths and use the colours to link it to differentiated learning outcomes. Also the pictures and sizes of the boxes can easily be changed/ammended. Hope this is useful, let me know how you use it and how I can improve it. Thanks

Cumulative frequency and box plots exam questions scaffolded and differentiated. Two exam questions where students first have to plot the cumulative frequency graph, then interpret it by finding the median and interquartile range and then construct a box plot from this. I stole the format off someone else who uploaded questions for cumulative frequency and I really liked the format (Sorry I don't know who it was to give credit to). I then went on to compare box plots.

A revision lesson at the end of a unit on Algebra. A couple of key word literacy activities at the start and a matching up activity on definitions etc The main activity is a group relay task based on simplifying algebra, laws of indices, expanding and factorising, equations, linear graphs and y=mx+c.

A classroom based verison of the addictive internet craze game of wordle! Formatted to highlight green for correct letters in correct place, orange correct letter wrong place etc. This version uses no repeat letters for formatting purposes! There are a bank of 8 in the folder but if you put any 5 letter word in then it is formatted so it will work. Any feedback please let me know. Please check out my other resources. Thanks

This is a lesson designed as a visual introduction to simultaneous equations. This lesson is an introduction and looks to master the skill of solving simultaneous equations when the equations have a set of variables with the same coefficient and when both variables are positive. (Negative ones and ones with different coefficients will be added as different resources in my library). The lesson includes examples, a true/false task and looks to link in some decimals and fractions within the topic. The lesson has taken inspiration from a mastery style and starts off heavily focusing on using bar models to represent the simultaneous equations and later on looks at how we can write this algebraically. A plenary review all of the topics covered. A mention must be given to Pixi Maths as there are a few slides at the beginning of the presentation which were excellent and borrowed from a Pixi Maths PPT and also to MathsPad where 3 scale type questions were borrowed. Hope this is useful, please leave a review if it is or any constructive criticism.
