Download the PowerPoint here I think I might hate calculator use lessons. The different models kids have etc etc. I tried to focus on just the new classwiz and designed this activity that I think might be mad. Trying to reason the result based on the key log of the calculator. Maybe it’s a good… Read More: Calculator Use »
It might seem like I’ve been a bit quiet on the resource front. Except in the last month or so, I’ve published the following on TES. Missing Terms In Arithmetic Sequences The Range FDP Perpendicular Lines (equations of) Parallel Lines (Equations of) Areas of circles Areas of sectors That’s a lot of stuff. Most of… Read More: The benefits of iteration »
Download the PowerPoint here Nothing fancy here. Just some example problem pairs, some questions and a plenary. Plus some exam questions. The biggest change is that I added the date into my header. It’s innovative stuff.
Download the PowerPoint here Made this lesson as I was due to teach it and I realised that my previous slides were stinky. I’m quite proud of the questions.
Download the PowerPoint here I think one of the reasons students struggle so much when facing this topic is the amount of ways we can phrase things. x multiplied by y. x times y. x lots of y. x items costing y each.

Usually I present the graphs. Ask students to think for themselves for 30 seconds. Then talk to their… Read More: A gallery of bad graphs »
Find the resource here. (As a side note, I’d really like to not use TES to host these resources at some point, but haven’t really found a better option). This is pretty simple stuff. But look at this example problem pair. It’s sideways! I think these are best printed off (2 per page) and stuck… Read More: Pictograms »
Download these resources here. There’s actually a lot more to coordinates than is perhaps given space for in a lot of schemes of work. I certainly have been guilty of skipping over the topic before, on the basis that the kids can ‘do it’ and have made trouble for myself later on down the line.… Read More: Coordinates Resources »
Hi all, Last week I was busy. But not as busy as the week before. I finished off the negative numbers unit with Ordering negative/directed numbers and multiplying and dividing negative numbers. I also spent waaaayyy too much time organising the menu at the top of this page. Hover over it. Hopefully it’s more useful… Read More: Finishing off negative numbers and site updates »
So I had some free time last week and I decided to get some resources made/updated and published. Last week I published: This year I’m going to try harder to get closer to more coverage with some of my slides. It’s a bit spotty at the moment. I’m going to be filling in gaps and… Read More: A mountain of updates »
