This was a lesson for SEN students, operating at a low level Functional Skills Maths E1-E3. The powerpoint is clear and engaging (credit to Slides Carnival for the original template), with reduced content to support cognitive load. The powerpoint is fully animated. I made this for a specialist class, who really struggled with the basic concept of division as sharing. It looks at what division means, gives examples of sharing into groups and then goes into worded questions and how to approach these. I would suggest using arrays to support with the “how many ways can we divide 12” task. I’ve also included the accompanying worksheet, which has 20 worded questions, of increasing difficulty - first 5 are basic times tables, moving up to questions that require bus stop method and require a remainder. I designed this lesson for a one hour session, but it could be adapted to be longer or shorter as required.

10 GCSE Maths Foundation Starters, in a do it now style. These are intended to be settlers for when the class first enter - there is a printable version of each starter and a powerpoint for display. Topics include: Simplifying and basic solving Four Operations Mensuration Ratio FDP Probability Angles I’ve designed this for my Year 11s - all questions are low challenge, based on the accessible 1-2 mark questions they get at the start of a foundation paper, that all students really should be able to do. I’m working on the principle that the more exam style questions they see, the better! The topics/questions are repeated and shadowed, the idea is that if they can’t do a question one lesson, they will make notes on it and refer back to it the next time they see the question. This is only the first ten lessons, so if you want more, let me know!
