Download the PowerPoint here. I’m teaching percentages at the moment and as I do so, I’m updating my slides. I’ll mention what I’ve updated here. This PowerPoint I’ve split up from ‘percentage change’ and made them two separate lessons. I’ve added example problem pairs. Instead of trying to do everything at once. I had a… Read More »
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. Don’t know if that’s too slow, but I think it’s worth practicing the skill. I quite like my second activity here.… Read More »

I like little things like this. Breaks things up a little bit. Missed the fact that one of my resources… Read More »
Lesson PowerPoint here. This is a little different from regular lessons. There’s a worksheet (here) to go with it. I usually try and keep everything in one file, but here it just didn’t quite work. I’ve added pictures of the worksheet to the PowerPoint to make the questions easier to go through. I really think… Read More »
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. 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 »
