This is a full and complete unit of work with PowerPoints for each lesson. Every lesson is fully differentiated. The unit starts at G grade and works up in stages from G to C, helping students to work through every stage until they reach C, so the progress is absolutely tangible and demonstrable in pupil's books and in the lessons. All resources and materials and enclosed within each lesson and the PowerPoints are ready to play, but you will need to adapt them for your classes depending on how much you get through in each lesson. Activities are set up to engage all students, as much of the time as possible, with progress for all in mind at all times during the planning. There are quizzes, differentiated goals, competitions, images to help pupils to understand fractions, whiteboard work for AFL, self marking, peer marking, cooperative learning activities for engagement. And, all of this is set against a progress tracker that helps pupils to see how that are moving up from G to C grade. The G to C can be mapped against 1-5, very easily, to adapt this unit for the future - you will see that when you download it. The unit includes: · Multiply and divide fractions including mixed numbers · Add and subtract fractions by finding and using a common denominator. · Find a percentage increase/decrease of an amount · Multiply and divide decimal numbers by integers and decimal numbers · calculate efficient percentage change using a single multiplier · Write one number as a percentage of another number Use percentages in real-life situations such as income tax calculations, simple interest, profit / loss, VAT · Calculate the percentage of a given amount · Compare the sizes of fractions using a common denominator · Convert between fractions, decimals and percentages without a calculator · Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions · Multiply and divide fractions · Round decimals to the nearest integer a given number of decimal places or to one significant figure · Use percentages to solve problems · Write an improper fraction as a mixed number · Add and subtract decimals · Find fractions of amounts · Understand place value, identifying the values of the digits · Understand that a percentage is a fraction in hundredths · Write a fraction in its simplest form and find equivalent fractions · Write decimals in order of size · Recognise and write fractions in everyday situations · Understand a fraction as part of a whole · Visualise a fraction diagrammatically

This is another one of my Blockbuster quizes - This time on fractions. The PP slides tell pupils how to play and the link goes to an online quiz that i have prepared.

This is a PP that can be added to any lesson. The slides show how to play it and then there is a link to a game that I have made online that can be played interactively.

a little settler activity to get a lesson started.

This is a full and complete unit of work with PowerPoints for each lesson. Every lesson is fully differentiated with differentiated lesson outcomes that start at a lower end and travel up through the grades. The unit starts at F grade and works up in stages from F to A, helping students to work through every stage until they reach A, so the progress is absolutely tangible and demonstrable in pupil's books and in the lessons. All resources and materials and enclosed within each lesson and the PowerPoints are ready to play, but you will need to adapt them for your classes depending on how much you get through in each lesson. Activities are set up to engage all students, as much of the time as possible, with progress for all in mind at all times during the planning. There are quizzes, differentiated goals, competitions, whiteboard work for AFL, corners for AFL, red, green and amber card games, self marking, peer marking, cooperative learning activities for engagement. And, all of this is set against a progress tracker that helps pupils to see how that are moving up from F to A grade. The F to A can be mapped against 1-5, very easily, to adapt this unit for the future - you will see that when you download it. The unit covers all of the following so that students are able to: · Calculate with positive, negative and fractional indices and combinations of these. · Use index laws to write expressions for integer, negative, and fractional powers and powers of a power · Use index laws to simplify and calculate numerical expressions involving powers · Be able to write very large and very small numbers presented in a context in standard form · Calculate with standard form with and without a calculator. · Convert between ordinary and standard form representations · Understand ‘reciprocal’ as multiplicative inverse, knowing that any non-zero number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1 . Find the reciprocal of a number given as a fraction or decimal · Use index laws to calculate with squares and cubes · Use index laws to simplify and calculate the value of numerical expressions involving multiplication and division of integer powers, and powers of a power · Find the prime factor decomposition of positive integers and write in index form · Know the effects that a change of place value has on a calculation · Multiply and divide by any number between 0 and 1 · Multiply and divide decimal numbers by whole numbers and decimal numbers (up to 2 d.p.), eg 266.22 ¸ 0.34 · Use brackets and the hierarchy of operations (BIDMAS) · Use index notation for integer powers of 10 · Add, subtract any numbers including negative decimals · Check answers by inverse calculation · Find the common factors and common multiples of two small numbers

This is a collection of full number lessons that can be adapted for 1-9 that work through from Grade G all the way up to B grade in order to show pupils how to go from various different stages of number work. There are a series of starters, settlers, quizzes, group and independent tasks within each of these lessons and everyone of them can be adapted with minimal work. No lesson that you download will ever be the final product and this is obviously reflected in the minimal price which is designed to reflect the hours of work that you will obviously see has been put into the lessons. In factor work, the scheme covers: B · Expand the product of two linear expressions B · Factorise quadratic expressions including using the difference of two squares C · Change the subject of a simple formula C · Use simple instances of index laws to simplify and calculate the value of numerical expressions involving multiplication and division of integer powers, and of powers of a power D · Substitute positive, negative and fractional numbers into expressions such as 3x² + 4 and 2x³ D · Write expressions using squares and cubes D · Derive a simple formula, including those with squares, cubes and roots D · Factorise algebraic expressions by taking out common factors D · Multiply a single term over a bracket E · Write an expression using the four operations. E · Substitute numbers into a formula F · Simplify algebraic expressions in one or more like terms, by adding and subtracting like terms F · Understand the difference between the word ‘equation’, ‘formula’, and ‘expression’ and be able to select an equation, formula or expression from a list F · Use formulae from mathematics and other subjects expressed initially in words and then using letters and symbols G · Use notation and symbols correctly WT Use a simple flow chart with one or two operations

These are the remaining lessons from a full scheme of work - my first creation of a Maths scheme so I don't think for one second that it is the finished article but it will definitely offer more experienced maths teachers a starting point. The lessons are targeting moving G grade pupils up to C grade work. These particular lesson s cover Bidmas, factorising and algebra.

This quiz links to all of the Christmas Maths songs that Moyles has commissioned from artists like One Direction, N Dubz etc. Click on each picture to hyperlink to the song - pupils try to work out the answer to the sum and all of the sums and answers are on the last two slides. Great for a bit of making maths cool and mathematical fun at the end of term.

This is a Primary Starer aimed at encouraging pupils who are struggling with their 3 and 5 times table.

This lesson is for a GCSE class at grade G - moving up to C. This one allows the teacher to establish prior knowledge before starting to plan the whole scheme.

As part of our drive for numeracy across the curriculum, I've created a series of tutorials for teachers to offer ideas of how to incorportae numeracy starters into any lessons. In this one, Pupils attempt a challenge based on memorising sequences.
