I’ve added pictures of the worksheet to the PowerPoint to make the questions easier to go through. I really think… Read More »

Areas of circles

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.

Simultaneous Equations

ProjectALessons These are lessons to be taken ‘off the shelf’. Each ppt contains an explanation, several different tasks, a problem solving task and a learning check. These require no printing. One linear/One non linear : Full lesson. Includes exam questions. Practice Assess

Circumference of circles

Lesson powerpoint here. The questions here lack a little of the meta tasks I’ve built into other stuff. But I’ve tried to build as much thinking into this as possible. Here’s a little gallery of what you’re downloading. Areas of circles next, I think. I know some of these lessons are ‘prescriptive’. I don’t want… Read More »

Quadratic Simultaneous Equations

Here is a lesson on Non-linear simultaneous equations. Three example problem pairs. Some questions. Something a bit more problem solve-y. 5 timed questions. Some exam questions. It’s quite basic, really. I know I haven’t posted much recently. I will try and post some more stuff. There’s a big difference between stuff to make for myself… Read More »
