Download the PowerPoint here. I know this is usually covered in multiplying as one lesson, but I think there’s room to slow down. Example problem pair A card sort! (kinda). The idea here is that you don’t need to cut the cards out, just project them and ask the kids to copy them down in… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. This is a big one! It’s at a minimum 3 lessons, probably 4. Starts numerically Next is something I have added after listening to the Mr Barton podcast with Naveen Rizvi. I realised I didn’t spend enough time talking about what the subject means! Some example problem pairs come next, and… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here Last lesson for a bit. It’s half term next week and my wife will kill me if I plan resources on holiday. Decided to just to multiplying as one lesson.

Powerpoint is here I have circles and compound shapes to go and then that’s circles done. I made some pretty big changes to my area of a circle PowerPoint after doing some questions. There’s now a bit about choosing either the area or circumference formula, as this is an aspect students found really difficult. I’ve… Read More »
PowerPoint here. I’m kinda on a roll. Not sure how I feel about this one, though. Maybe too close to the last two that I’ve done (in activity terms). Could do with a little more interest in there. I’ve also made some lovely sectors questions (first pic above) but I’m not sure exactly how they… Read More »
Lesson PowerPoint here. I decided not to go into parts of circles like quarters and halves, but concentrate on using the formula. I figured parts of a circle are easy enough to cover whilst teaching sectors. YMMV.
