This is a follow up to my factorising quadratics lesson. I taught this two weeks ago, but I was cleaning up the slides to be put online. I really think the exercise that goes along with it is nicely thinky. Some variation and slow build up of activity.
Other thoughts
- I’ve been doing barvember. The pupils in my year 7 class have kinda hated it, which proves just how valuable and needed it was. These questions are so high quality, and it’s lovely to show how you can do some of these problems just with bars and basic four operations knowledge. I laminated some responses from the pupils, and they loved seeing their work up on the board. Great stuff.
- This blog is going to break it’s usual format for the next few weeks. Next week I’ve got some starters for you, the week after … ChristMaths is going to be published early.
