Download the lesson here This lesson needed an update. It was filled with so much faff before. I’ve cut all that away and now it’s just example problem pairs and questions. It’s not going to change the world, but its nice to get back into the swing of making resources.
Download the lesson here. It’s a double bill today. Not mind blowing stuff, but my old slides were in desperate need of an update. I think that’s most of solving linear equations done now (bar working with fractions which is going to be a biiiiiiiiiiig job). I wasn’t sure about what to add to this… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint/Worksheet here I’ve massively overhauled my previous bounds PowerPoint, which I think was pretty poor and needed updating. Loads of stuff here. One of things I did was screenshot some of this and put it into mathigon’s Polypad, and use that website’s number lines to really try and dig into the understanding. There’s… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint and worksheet here. I have, again, tried to avoid inspection by using slightly annoying numbers. I would suggest that calculators are a must for this resource. I also added the following page, which I really like. Hopefully questions 9 and 10 provoke a good discussion. I love a bit of direct instruction,… Read More »
Get the PowerPoint here This is an embedded Microsoft Office presentation, powered by Office. Please tell me if you can’t download from the above link. Hopefully you can also see a preview of the PowerPoint above. (Clicking the ‘book’ icon should open a menu that will allow you to download a copy for yourself) Been… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. This is basically a lot of ideas knicked from Resourceaholic. Sorry @mathsjem! Quite happy with this, though. I have used this with my year 9 class this year and I think I’ve taught trig better than I ever have before. Starts with sine. Talking about similar triangles. Not using the calculator… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. I created this after a discussion on Twitter. Estimating is more complicated then I give it credit for. We have to decide the level of rounding that’s appropriate, based on the calculation being done. It’s not just as simple as rounding to 1 s.f. I did some questions that are quite… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. I didn’t want to have an example problem pair for this. Instead I went with more of a pattern spotting thing. I think this is quite nice (it all animates in so isn’t displayed at once). Then some fluency questions. Then another PIXEL PUZZLE. I like these, and my ratio one… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. So, I’ve been unhappy with my adding fractions lessons for a while. They were always ‘good enough’ but not actually good. This year, I decided that good enough wasn’t good enough. I needed to finally attack them. Flesh them out, make them interesting, build in opportunity for students to really test… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here (thanks to MrBriggs on Twitter for pointing out that I forgot to add this link in!) This lesson went well, actually. Work out the gradients and try and notice something. Then there’s a little bit on making sure we can properly identify when something is a negative reciprocal. Obviously, an example… Read More »
