Differentiated Function Machines Algebra Lessons

(0)
A complete function machine walkthrough from one step input through to two steps with algebra. Can take two lessons, there is a start point just before the algebra versions which can be used to consolidate the previous days learning. Starts with definition of functions abridged from NCETM glossary. Introduces one step functions. forwards, backwards, missing function. 5 differentiated tasks, designed to compliment and extend learners throughout the lesson(s).

Periodic and Oscillating Sequences, other Sequences 9.13 Complete Mathematics Curriculum

(0)
This is designed to look at giving an overview of periodic and oscillating sequences. This can be used to meet the “other sequences” aspect of the English National curriculum. It would be anticipated that students would have already covered geometric progressions. This lesson was designed to meet the Stage 9, Unit 13, Other s Sequences objective in the complete maths curriculum. The powerpoint is designed to give an example problem pair followed by 6 consolidation questions as well as a key vocab page for both periodic and oscillating sequences.

Factors and multiples: DIRT Assessment, AFL, marking

(0)
This is a low stakes assessment with corresponding dirt activities. I have tended to print these onto coloured paper so that they are clear in learners books. You give the sprint assessment sheet to the class. Collect this in, mark this sheet and code the w3 and ebi according to the feedback powerpoint. Highlight which area they need to work on, print feedback sheets, give them their sprint assessment and feedback sheet back. They copy in their feedback from the powerpoint. They complete their feed-forward task, using the worked example to try and improve. I have included full answers on the Marking sheet for all activities as well as all the pre-completed codes. If you want more precise feedback simply add it as another bullet point on the feedback pages.

This is an interactive worksheet generator that uses RAG differentiation and updates to create new questions. The different levels of differentiation are through completing worked examples before attempting the question.
Cubes In Cubes Investigation

Cubes In Cubes Investigation

(0)
This investigation was designed as a support activity in the lead up to an nrich task. The nrich task would provide an excellent extension activity to this and would follow on in a more abstract manner. The worksheet can be used on its own or with the powerpoint for support. It is designed to develop an understanding and appreciation of the cube numbers involved and then to apply these. The powerpoint has teaching notes throughout in the powerpoint section.
Area of Circles

Area of Circles

(1)
This uses interleaved worked examples, so learners can switch between spotting areas in a worked example and attempting the questions solely on their own. Starter Assumes that learners have already completed work on circumference of a circle.

This can be used as an end of Topic assessment for Fractions, Decimals, Percentages and ratio.
Algebraic Expressions 2nd 10QQ - Difficult
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Algebraic Expressions 2nd 10QQ - Difficult

(1)
This is the second 10QQ in the Expressions series. It is ideal as a recap/consolidation or a check of prior learning. Includes a bell task with animated answers to help settle learners into the lesson first. The questions are all on timers. Follows the same format as my revision 10QQ Questions focus around learners use of multiplying expressions as well as collecting to cubes and then addition involving unknowns with powers.
Circumference of circles including reverse Circumference

Circumference of circles including reverse Circumference

(0)
Starter is through a linked powerpoint - you will need to change the location for your machine or load up separately. This flashes up the various parts of a circle learners complete with aid of powerpoint. The third slide can be printed so that students can fill in as they go. Lesson then goes through finding the circumference of a circle. Either scaffolded or not. Then onto reverse with the option of finding circumference, then reverse with or without scaffolding. Could easily be split into two lessons with one more independent exercise on finding the circumference of a circle.
Differentiated Perimeter Of Semi Circles
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Differentiated Perimeter Of Semi Circles

(1)
This (updated) lesson is based around finding the perimeter of a semi circle. Only covers semi circles. Starter assumes both area and circumference of circles as well as parts of a circle. ( Definitions taken from NCETM glossary) It has been updated to include example problem pairs. A differentiated task by gradually reducing scaffolded support. Extension sees if learners can apply to a quadrant and three quarters of a circle. Ends with a Same Structure different depth set of questions.
Sample Space Diagrams.
Mr_FantMr_Fant

Sample Space Diagrams.

(1)
A homework or worksheet sheet on sample space diagrams. Addition only but exploring the link between sample space with some thinking questions and forming a hypothesis to the sum of opposite sides on a dice. I have also included a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has editable elements givings sides to create sample space diagrams for addition and multiplication for sides up to 20. It will also output the probability for chosen amounts. Another tab shows the distribution graphically. This could be sent to the learners for them to explore in a lesson or used to support the homework/worksheet.

This 10QQ is ideal as a recap or a check of prior learning. Includes a bell task with animated answers to help settle learners into the lesson first. The questions are all on timers. Follows the same format as my revision 10QQ Includes basic simplifying a collection of letters through to collecting like terms with square numbers. At the end there are examples and questions of each type which can be used as a review.
