Get the PowerPoint here. This is a really small lesson on Polygons. I taught it as a half lesson. Includes a definition of a polygon variation theory thing. Plus my first ever Quizlet! I liked doing this. I played it as a live game. You can see it in this little video. Pupils are presented… Read More »
Get the PowerPoint here. I know, it’s strange that I’ve left this one until last. I did the silly thing of assuming that since I taught a high ability year 7 group, that they’d be ace at this, but they weren’t, which I caught during a quiz during a plenary. I’d made the classic mistake… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. Two lessons (at least). Includes quite simple ones… Has a task that worked really well with my class. Write the missing step. Cognitive load and that. Plus some questions. Goes onto more complicated examples and exercises. As an aside, I posted a picture from this resource on Twitter and it got… Read More »
Get the PowerPoint here. I am aware I’m kind of uploading a rag-tag bunch of random resources at the moment. I’m making lessons for what I’m teaching and uploading the ones I feel are polished enough to be shared. Started this one with a bit of a brainwave. I’m always astounded by pupil’s lack of… Read More »
Download the PowerPoint here. I’ve changed this one quite a bit. I would love to hear other people’s take on this. I fear I’m made some kind of pedagogical mistake here in the sequencing of what I’m doing. I quite like this, though.

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 »
Download the PowerPoint here. Went with an 80s look for the opening picture. I’m quite proud of these pictures I drew in GeoGebra. Feel like I’m getting the hang of drawing these. Moved some stuff around from the perimeters of sectors PowerPoint into this one. Includes a prior learning check thing. That’s an entire new… Read More »
