Aimed at Y7 students following the White Rose scheme of work. This does not “teach” but allows for practice to maintain fluency with lots of in built problem solving (Don Steward, Nrich and others - please let me know if you know who) Stretched and challenged my high ability Y7s with SATS scores of over 110. Designed to encourage discussion etc in the first couple of weeks of a new term.

Third topic in my lessons for a low ability Y11 in the run up to exams (follows on from BIDMAS, substitution and linear graphs). Informed by theory with lots of AFL (thank you Diagnosticquestions.com), misconceptions and targeted practice. Alternative to cramming by teaching skills that used in may contexts. (It worked!) Taught over one lesson but part of a sequence. Lessons my own but resources are drawn from many sources that I can’t accurately remember. If you know, please tell me so I can give proper credit.

Lesson on place value and powers of ten including guided practice AFL and reasoning tasks. Answers provided

Recaps area of triangles, trapeziums and parallelograms before looking at them in different context (eg coordinate grid or using algebra) Designed for a low ability Y11 set in the final run up to exams. Part of a masters module on whether mastery tuition can outdo cramming (it worked!) Guided and teacher lead because of the low ability of the students. Uses diagnosticquestions.com and PiXL resources. part of a series of lessons including BIDMAS, Substitution and linear graphs designed to give key skills that are used in multiple contexts.

Full set of lessons following on from addition and subtraction lessons and part of the White Rose Y7 SoL. Designed for Y7 so not teaching new concepts but reasoning and problem solving. Some basics covered and emphasis on pair work and discussion in the first couple of weeks. Credits to SMILE, Rich games for learning, SATS questions and Don Steward. (Any others let me know and I will add you ASAP)

Based on the White Rose curriculum for Y7 including tasks from Nrich and my own research into teaching for mastery. Includes extension into binary and links to useful articles for teachers. Part of a scheme which is also available on TES.
