Sequence of starters for Year 7 to revise timestables, properties of operations, basic geometry concepts (length and area), hierarchy of operations, fractions, number lines. Students have the chance to practise critical discernments in isolation before these are ribboned together. This booklet consists of 35 sessions, each session was thought to last about 5 minutes. Tasks can be easily extended by asking students to create their own questions.

Sequence of starters for Year 7 to revise timestables, properties of operations, basic geometry concepts (length and area), hierarchy of operations, fractions, number lines. This term’s tasks focus on operations with negatives and algebra. Students have the chance to practise critical discernments in isolation before these are ribboned together. This booklet consists of 35 sessions, each session was thought to last about 5 minutes. Tasks can be easily extended by asking students to create their own questions.

Sequence of 17 lessons on manipulating algebraic expressions. The topics covered include: Powers Priority of operations Function machines Writing algebraic expressions from worded problems Multiplying algebraic terms Dividing algebraic terms Collecting like terms Expanding brackets Factorising Activities for in-class practice are included with solutions.

Algebra unit quiz for some end of term fun.

Booklet of 20 starter sessions on Algebra (collecting like-terms, multiplying and dividing like-terms, expanding brackets) Priority of operations Area of triangles Adding and subtracting fractions

Sequence of 9 lessons on negative numbers. Operations with negative numbers are modelled with double-sided counters. The last two lessons focus on priority of operations (without powers). Disclaimer: Lesson 4 might need re-thinking as it hasn’t worked as planned with my classes.

Sequence of 13 lessons on What a fraction is (numerator and denominator) How to compare fractions with same denominator/same numerator Equivalent fractions (generated by partitioning or regrouping existing parts) Simplifying fractions Adding fractions with the same numerator Mixed numbers and improper fractions Lowest common denominator Adding/subtracting fractions with different denominator Adding/subtracting mixed numbers Comparing fractions

Sequence of models and animations to explain how to multiply and divide with fractions.
