I am going to UNPACK these Maths Problems! To effectively solve problems in mathematics, and for you to get all of the ‘P’ marks in the exam, you will need to UNPACK the questions. This work booklet shows students how to ensure that they get the full marks when tackling problems solving questions in the exam. By following the UNPACK rules below, it will enable you to ensure that you get the full-marks for all problem-solving questions: - Underline important information in the question Understand what the question is asking me What maths Processes will I be using? My Answer in the question Have I Checked my work? I Know my answer makes sense

Learning Objectives:- Understand the relationships between operations e.g. inverse operations Estimate answers) Check calculations using approximation and estimation (including using technology

Learning Objectives:- • Describe the parts of a circle, including tangent, arc, sector, segment, centre, radius, chord, diameter, circumference • Recall and use the formula for the area & circumference of a circle • Calculate arc lengths and the angles and areas of sectors of circles

Learning Objectives:- • Identify the properties of 3D shapes including cubes, cuboids, cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres. • Know and apply formulae to calculate volumes of cuboids and other right prisms (including cylinders) • Calculate the surface area of spheres, pyramids, cones and composite solids.

Learning Objectives:-­‐ Construct and interpret cumulative frequency diagrams (for grouped discrete as well as continuous data) Interpret and construct box plots Use measures of central tendency and measures of spread to interpret, analyse and compare the distributions of data sets

Learning Objectives:- Derive and apply properties of polygons (and know their names) Correctly use geometrical terms, label triangle sides and angles and draw diagrams from written descriptions Calculate interior and exterior angles in regular polygons Identify lines or symmetry and rotational symmetry order

Scheme of Work, Staff Tracker and Student Tracker for Edexcel Award in Number and Measure: Level 1 Scheme of Work:- Provides detailed lesson plan for each of the 13 units in the Level 1 qualification, and also provides links to the Level 2 and GCSE courses. Objectives, Differentiation and Extension points are also provided. Staff and Student Tracker:- Provides a breakdown of the learning objectives for each Unit, so that staff and students can track their understanding and progress throughout the course.

Learning Objectives:- Know and use trigonometric ratios for right-angled triangle to:- Find the length of a missing side Find the size of a missing angle

Learning Objectives:- How to generate a Vector, and Add and Subtract vectors Consider transformations rotation, reflection, translation and enlargement (including fractional scale factors)

Learning Objectives:- • Solve linear equations with one unknown on one side • Derive equations from geometric and other forms of problem • Solve two linear simultaneous equations in two variables algebraically

Learning Objectives:- • Recognising place value • Ordering whole numbers • Recall all positive integer complements to 100 • Understanding place value and round to a given power of 10 • Round to the nearest integer • Round to a given number of decimal places • Estimate answers to problems involving decimals • Round a number to one significant figure

Learning Objectives:- Be able to name and draw horizontal and vertical equations Be able to draw an equation onto axis using the table method Identify and interpret gradients and intercepts of linear functions, both algebraically and graphically.

Learning Objectives:- Construct and interpret histograms with equal class widths (for grouped discrete as well as continuous data) Construct and interpret histograms with unequal class widths (for grouped discrete as well as continuous data)

Learning Objectives:- Relate ratios to fractions and linear functions Divide a quantity in a given ratio Convert standard compound units in numerical and algebraic contexts

Learning Objectives:-­‐ • Describe the probability of an event occurring using probability words • Use a probability scale • Theoretical Probability and Mutually exclusive events • Relative frequency • Enumerate sets and combinations of sets systematically, using tables and grids • Record, describe and analyse the frequency of outcomes of probability experiments using tables and frequency tress (probabilities as fractions, decimals or percentages) • Enumerate sets and combinations of sets systematically, using Venn Diagrams

I have created a series of 17 workbooklets to be used with low ability KS3 students. They can be purchased individually, or all 17 (plus 2 x trackers) can be purchased as a bundle. Excellent for interventions.
