Negative number operations check-up
Add/subtract mixed with multiply/divide, seeking to clarify which signs you need to look at when deciding how to use signs in the answer.Straight-forward worksheet (2 copies per sheet - chop in half!).
Divide by a simple decimal
A presentation showing how to divide by (say) 0.2 or 0.5. Introduces idea at the end of rewriting the sum by increasing both dividend and divisor by power of ten.Supporting file has decimal number lines (0-5, 3 different sets of scale markings) for printing on A3 for students to use - you may want to cut up and laminate.[15/7/15 improved from user feedback]
Interior and exterior angles
Worksheet to draw and measure interior and exterior angles for a pentagon. 2nd worksheet to divide polygons into triangles for total interior angles.\n\n(I have previously posted a worksheet to complete for int/ext angles of regular polygons)
Demonstration of surface area & volume of solids
Promethean flipcharts demonstrating surface area and volume of solids. Versions for ActivInspire (Flipchart) and ActivStudio 3.5 (Flp).
Circle theorems - flash card quiz
Quick 10 question quiz - identify correct theorem to use to solve problem. (No solutions required.)
Fractions - 4 rules millionaire
Powerpoint in Millionaire format. All 4 rules for fractions, starting from add/subtract then multiply/divide. Mixed numbers and simplifying involved at different points. [6/5/15 edited to remove duplicate false answer on Q1.]
Fractions - dividing explained
Dividing fraction by whole number and vice versa; divide v=fraction by fraction. Slide towards end to discuss results so far to try to elicit "invert and multiply" rule. Two examples with diagrams for each.
I can statements - Y5 to Y8 maths
A set of self-assessment statements with three 'levels' (effectively 'little idea', 'getting there' and 'pretty confident'). Based on the ISEB Common Entrance syllabus for maths but, as this is aligned to the National Curriculum, it should be broadly applicable.
The order of the statements reflects my scheme of work, but of course they can be moved around. I intend to cut them up and paste as a booklet.
For Y7 & Y8 there are two levels, reflecting the fact that CE 13+ has two (main) levels. These might be seen somewhat as early 'foundation' and 'higher'.
There is a need to consider teacher (peer?) validation of self assessments. I will probably ask classes to complete at the end of a unit, perhaps dating their selection. I may initial in the margin if I agree they have reached a reasonable level of mastery. I may also ask for an initial tick before they start a unit.
Match cards - formulae and description
Quick activity with six pairs to match up.
Rounding rally coach
Partners take turns to coach each other in rounding numbers to required decimal places or significant figures.
Summary worksheet for y=mx+c
Worksheet to complete topic (or as homework). Identify gradient/y-intercept from 3 equations and 3 graphs; sketch 3 graphs using y=mx+c.
Next term in sequence using flashcards
10 questions. Quick, multiple choice, summative quiz. Can use coloured flash cards or whiteboards to get responses. Mainly simple linear, but also geometric and squares to finish.
Math: Negative calculations using flashcards
10 questions. Quick, multiple choice, summative quiz. Can use coloured flash cards or whiteboards to get responses.
Indices, powers, roots
Fairly basic set of 15 Qs to be used with flashcards, whiteboards etc. Covers integers with indices and algebraic expressions. Add/subtract rules. Useful as revision or building up to add/sub simple powers.
Deal or No Dealgebra
Quiz, loosely based on Deal or No Deal. #1 has brackets but easier numbers; #2 has (simple) algebraic fractions; #3 negative and decimal answers.\n\nThe player has an amount of money. The boxes contain algebraic expressions that say what that box is worth. So, if the player has £100, 2x+50 gives a box value of £250. \n\nIt could equally be played as a quiz between two teams or individual players trying to get the highest value box.\n\nOriginal idea inspired by CrazyTalk clips on YouTube linked by Keith Ennis.
Balancing equations demo
Visual of seesaw showing how to keep simple equations balanced while solving. 2 quick examples, but it should be easy to create more by copying and amending slides.
Expand brackets with party bags!
Brackets are compared to party bags! So expanding is just finding out how many items altogether.
Hopefully simple, visual explanation of concept followed by some quick questions. Used alongside mini-whiteboards.
Fraction of an amount - simple
Scaffolded worksheet on fractions of an amount using fairly simple quantities.
Factorising, functions and graphs
This links factorisation of linear expressions (where the term in the bracket is in the form y=m(x + c/m)) to the intercept with the x-axis. It lays the foundation for the same concept when factorising quadratics. It could be developed by examining y = c - mx or y=m(ax + c/m).
