Statistics: Histograms 1 - Drawing (+ worksheet)

This is a whole lesson introducing the topic of histograms. This is suitable for GCSE, IGCSE and S1 Statistics! This is a lesson that I got observed as outstanding.

This part of the PPT is very clear and helps pupils not only know how to draw./ calculate them, which comes later, but what histograms are! 19 slides. It follows on with some excellent hinge questions, a quick question to check understanding and a very open worksheet, that could have several correct answers and raises some good questions!!

This is first lesson looking at negative numbers using the four different operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) and lots of different real-life contexts. 16 slides. Lesson 1: looks at negatives in real life and starts to build on some of the rules for negatives. It comes with a handout (good for differentiation within classes) and a worksheet with answers.

Geometry: Area 6 - Compound Area / Compound Shapes

This is the sixth in a 7 lesson series on learning different area rules (extension being circles - which I teach as a separate series). This is available now as a bundle at a reduced price. I have found over the years, that teaching these lessons over more lessons than less pays dividends!! That it is often a subject skirted over quickly and then has to be retaught year after year. It is often a subject that even at KS4, pupils struggle over. To address this each of the lessons is very thorough on the different rules, with activities, handmade worksheets that are differentiated with trickier examples with answers, exam questions, problem-solving starters and plenaries.
