Some topics are more difficult to explain in simple terms than others. Why not try an analogy? When working with an expression such as 5a+2-3a, some students may not consider 2a+2 as a correct answer and may think that they ALWAYS need a SINGLE term e. g. 4a. The analogy used in this worksheet should help with these common misconceptions. It consists of 12 differentiated questions where students can identify and collect like terms. . .

There are only few weeks left in this academic year and you want to use them to plan engaging, non-standard lessons with experimenting elements. You probably didn’t really have the chance to think about this kind of planning earlier because of your scheme of work, exams and other important things. Here’s an idea for you! The main steps of the project can be divided into the following: Introduce the assignment which is to create a short video clip based on a topic of a student’s choice. Decide on a storyline / individual shots / sequences and also a mood (this includes music!). Create a storyboard and prepare the individual shots (or use appropriate software). Organise the individual shots, edit the exposure time, add music, etc. Share it on Instagram account (you can use Gramblr uploader). ⓘ I know it’s a quite complex project, but how exciting! There is an easy to print version of this project ready to download. ⓘ This idea is based on my own project - a short video clip, which you can see soon here. Big thank you to @mmmmkacietravis (blog post) and @frannerd (youtube video) for the inspiration!
