This is a PowerPoint, lesson plan and simple worksheets for students to work through during the lesson. The lesson is based on Teaching Programming with Python, which is an excellent resource that I found on TES. Please feedback any thoughts and room for improvement.

The PP introduces how to finding fractions of an amount by using the bar model method. Also describes other ways of finding this. Students are asked to review their effort and progress as a plenary.

This is a really useful worksheet, created by an Excel fan, that takes pupil through using Excel in different ways. Very well written and supports independent learning. Please leave feedback, especially if anything needs changing or improving.

A PowerPoint that introduces the concept of square, triangle and cube numbers. I have tried to follow the Stage 7 numbers and number system SoW. The slides contain ideas that allow for discussion between students and the teacher. There is also a plenary, that allows the students to immediately feedback their learning during the lesson, which I have taken from https://colleenyoung.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/rag-123/

This is an introduction to solving an equation with a single missing variable. The PowerPoint starts with a refresher on negative numbers with some diagnostic questions (so whiteboards might be required). It then moves on to solving an equations. It uses tiles to give a visual representation. There are two worksheets, both with the same questions. The first worksheet is for those students who might need guidance on solving these equations, the second one just has the questions. Both conclude with an open ended style question. There is also an exit card to enable assessment on understanding in the lesson.

This PowerPoint ensures basic understanding of how to multiple and divide by multiples of 10. I describe how we move the numbers and not the decimal point when doing so. The PP also includes a self-assessment plenary where the students comment on their progres during the lesson. Also attached is a file of work for the students to do. There are two copies, the easier one has the answers and the students need to match up the answers with the questions, and the second one has the same questions but the answer squares are blank.

This is a lesson that I have put together to introduce the concept of while loops, boolean tests and converting variable types. Please leave feedback, especially to suggest improvements.

This is my first upload to the Maths section of TES. I have created the worksheet and I think that all variables give sensible answers. The idea is to take my Set 3 Year 10 students from basic algebra to solving three types of simultaneous equations algebraically; 1st where the equations can be solved without manipulation, 2nd where one equation needs to be multiplied and thirdly where both equations need to be multiplied. I would welcome any comments for improving the resource.

This is my first posting to TES. I use Prezi to share the lesson with the students, for information about the Prezi go to the please read this first document. If you do not use Prezi then you can use the PDF document. I am giving this to my Year 9 class as an introduction to the BTEC Level 2 ICT course Unit 3, Designing a digital portfolio. It could form the bases of a lesson for when you are delivering the BTEC course, but you would need to add more detail.

This is a lesson for my set 4 (of 4) year 8 class. It starts with two lots of recaps, one simplifying ratios and then splitting an amount into a given ratio using the bar model (both recap). Then we look at how to find amounts when one ratio is given. This also uses the bar model. In the notes I have included some of the questions that I need to ask the class. Hope this helps.

This is for a two hour lesson on 'Being able to design interactive websites'. The aim of this lesson is purely to get the students thinking about what makes a good e-commerce website. Please comment, especially to suggest improvements.

This is lesson 2 for my Year 8 class on being a digital citizen. The aim is to get the students thinking about the length of time they spend online, and what the consequences of being online might be. Please review and add comments to improve the lesson.

This is lesson 4 of my introduction to Python. Lessons 1 and 2 can be found on TES. Lesson 3 was just a PowerPoint, so I did not upload it.

I teach a group of students who struggle hugely with maths. I had started to use Cuisenaire Rods to understand some basic concepts, but found that the students struggled to write down what they were doing. The idea of this first resource is to help them make their own notes on how the rods can be rearranged.

This is a PowerPoint that I have created for my year 9 maths class. It is a hybrid of variation theory and interwoven maths. There are 3 sets of Teacher does, you do and Variation questions. These sections are 90 angles split into a ratio, a straight line split into a ratio and angles about a point split into a ratio. I have tried to put some thought into the ratios used and how they build upon the previous one.

This is a simple PowerPoint that I have created to discuss how to set worded problems up using the bar model, and then the steps taken to find the missing variables. It includes trying to break down the problem and how to set the two sides of the equation equal to each other, and then the steps to work through to leave the student with just the variable and the answer. I have not used the bar model before and I would appreciate any feedback, especially if there is an area than needs correcting or clarifying.

I came across the inquiry maths website (http://www.inquirymaths.co.uk/home) and liked the concept. This is my first attempt at creating a lesson based on this. As it is my first lesson I have suggested the questions that the students should ask themselves, but there will also be plenty of scope for them to ask their own questions and to make their own inquiries. Depending on the success of this lesson I will also add regulatory cards to fully implement inquiry maths for further lessons.

This lesson is number 4 in a series investigating the Digital World. The aim is to get students thinking about brick v click shopping. Please leave comments, especially for improvements.

The resource includes two simple equations that are solved using the bar model method, 5x - 4 = 3x + 2 and 3x + 5 = 2x + 11. It is a very simple, shaky layout, but it might help in getting the students to think about using the bar model to solve equations.

I have attempted to write a mastery lesson for my year 8 set 3 (of 4) class. There is a fairly challenging starter which ass the students to add two fractions, before moving on to adding 4 fractions and then mixed number fractions. Then there is an introduction to finding the perimeter of a rectangle and then finding a length when given the width and the perimeter. The answers to these questions are not all integer values. Then there are questions on finding the perimeter when the lengths are given as fractions. This is repeated for finding the perimeter or missing lengths for triangles There are slides that ask students to discuss ideas, and brings in other ideas such as equilateral triangles and estimating. The plenary asks students to make up their own lengths for the shapes that have to meet the given criteria.

This is a retrieval grid that I have put together. 16 questions covering our last lesson, last weeks lesson, earlier lesson and one of our first topics. The questions cover: simultaneous equations, factorising, surds, simplifying algebraic fractions and indicies. Please feel free to use - and let me know your opinions. This is my first attempt at creating such a grid.
