2-3 lessons in two parts.
Designed to increase students understanding through step by step activities.
Part of Counting in 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s series.
Success Criteria:
Competent:
I can group concrete objects into tens, and say how many groups of tens there are.
Accomplished:
I can find the total by counting in tens.
Exceptional:
I can use my reasoning skills to solve problems involving multiples of tens.
Part 1 - 25 slides
Uses everyday objects, Numicon, money, pens, hands. feet, number line, to get students to count and think in tens.
Part 2 - 28 slides
Recaps part 1 - builds upon learning and then challenges students with questions involving measurement in 10cm, and mastery questions using 10p coins to buy small items.
Includes self-assessment slides for students and a “Whizz Bang” game as a plenary.
62 Slides, 2-3 lessons. Divided into 5 parts.
Lesson starter and recap.
Partitioning into Tens and Ones using red & white beads, tables and partitioning diagrams.
Further Partitioning - Developing understanding from 39 is 3 tens and 9 ones to 39 = 30 + 9.
Partitioning in Different Ways - Challenge questions for differentiation.
Partitioning Bingo - fun activity to assess learning outcomes.
Includes practise questions and self-assessment slides for students.
Lesson objective:
To be able to find the area of triangles.
The lesson uses students pre-existing knowledge of areas of rectangles and parallelograms to workout how to find areas of triangles. Through a series of worked examples, students should realise that some triangles are either half a rectangle, or half a parallelogram, and hence gain a better understanding of how the formula for the area of a triangle works.
Includes; worked examples, practise questions, and a plenary.
2-3 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Objectives:
Calculate angles on a line and around a point.
Solve angle problems involving parallel lines.
Solve angle problems involving triangles.
3-4 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Objectives:
Add & Subtract fractions with common denominators.
Add & Subtract fractions with different denominators.
Add & Subtract mixed numbers.
2-3 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Objectives:
To be able to solve problems involving compound measures including:
Speed, Distance and Time.
Density, Volume and Mass.
Pressure, Force and Area.
Population Density, Population and Area
2-3 lessons, taking students through a step by step guide, to fully understand the process of factorising to solve quadratic equations.
The lessons include:
A recap on expanding brackets, to show that factorising is the inverse operation.
Factorising simple expressions, and solving simple quadratic equations.
The linking of roots of quadratic graphs to solutions of quadratic equations.
Throughout the resource there are, worked examples, practice questions and exam style questions.
5 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Learning Objectives:
Find a fraction of a quantity.
Multiply a fraction by a whole number.
Multiply a fraction by a fraction.
Multiply a fraction by a mixed number.
Multiply a mixed number by a mixed number.
2 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples, practice questions and worksheets.
Starter activity - “How many reds?” an experiment in predicting. Object being that students understand that more trials, means the relative frequency is closer to theoretical probability
Objectives:
Estimate probabilities on experimental data.
Use relative frequency as an estimate of probability.
2 lessons:
Lesson objectives:
To solve equations with unknowns on both sides, including equations with brackets.
Includes; teachers notes on how to use the interactive elements, step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
The big idea is to rewrite both sides of the equation to eliminate like terms. Hence the phrase “Same Value, Looks Different”. It uses money to show that you can can have the same value, but in different ways. Hence, you can rewrite any equation in any way as long as you do not change the value.
This version 2 is designed to allow both teachers and students to solve the example equations by writing each step on an interactive whiteboard. (Version 1 has each step written done to be uncovered as the example goes on).
Year 1 Multiplication lesson using everyday objects to illustrate the Big Idea that multiplication is “groups of”.
i.e. 3 groups of 2, 5 groups of 4.
