Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

(10)
This is another of my 4 pics 1 word resources that I have created having been inspired by @reflectivemaths and @srcav. The words in this presentation are radius, arc, sector, segment and chord. Good for literacy across the curriculum. I use these with mini whiteboards as a starter activity - students write down the word and their definitions. Diff by revealing/not revealing the letters for each set of 4 pics.

Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: letter, equation, formula, identity, and expression. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce topics. Differentiated by hiding letters to choose from initially and then revealing them if class struggle. For low ability I would reveal letters at the start.
Mathematics Loyalty Cards

Mathematics Loyalty Cards

I made these loyalty cards earlier in the year to be used with Y11 classes revising for their GCSEs. Can be easily adapted for any subject/year group where you can offer rewards for improvement, enthusiasm and performance in your lessons.

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Polygons

(14)
Based on a popular app, and having taken inspiration from the ideas of @reflectivemaths and @srcav, I have created my own Mathematics version to add a bit of literacy across the curriculum. This set includes the words: quadrilateral, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, interior, exterior, degrees, sum, regular and irregular. I hope these are of use as starters to introduce the topic of polygons and then look at the interior and exterior angles of regular/irregular polygons!?
Mathematics Awards/Certificates

Mathematics Awards/Certificates

(2)
I have created these Mathematics Awards to give to my students following their recent GCSE Mock examinations. The idea is to give them these in an 'Award&'s Ceremony&'; type lesson when they get their marked papers back and fill in AfL tracker sheets etc. Easy to alter these for any subject/teacher (just get rid of my name). I run the ppt as a presentation in class, and print off the slides to give to students as certificates to take home.
Mathematical Concepts Wall Display

Mathematical Concepts Wall Display

(6)
This is an idea I got from the Wellcome Collection in Euston. Students choose one or two of the words on the reverse of the card (will need to be printed double sided) and then these get displayed on the wall display - A display created solely by students having printed off the cards!

Here is the fourth of the 'Collins City' revision table sheets I use with my Year 11s as GCSE revision. Look out for the other 'Collins City' sheets and the 'Raymond Rovers' sheets. Questions 1-5 are aimed at Foundation Tier Questions 6-10 are aimed at Higher Tier
Mathematical Advent Calendar Template

Mathematical Advent Calendar Template

(2)
This is a template I created for students to create their own Mathematical advent calendar. The idea is that you print off the front sheet, students cut around the dashed lines to open the 'doors&', they then stick this sheet onto a blank piece of the same sized paper. Then, they write mathematical calculations, sums, equations etc on the &';doors', the answers to which will be the numbers 1-25. They then write jokes, fun facts, pictures etc in the &'doors&';. Let me know what you think.

Algebraic Codebreaker Activity Worksheet

Algebraic Codebreaker Activity Worksheet

(4)
Here is an idea I got from Paul Ginnis' &'Teachers Toolkit&';. The codebreaker task gets students to use their algebraic knowledge to crack a code. I put the code up on the IWB and hand out envelopes in groups of the equations for the groups to work on. Each letter corresponds to a number. Code revealed is 'Focus, Learn, Achieve&'.
KS3 Maths Adding with Negative Numbers using Golf

KS3 Maths Adding with Negative Numbers using Golf

(2)
I did a lesson on negative numbers using Golf. I gave the class an actual Golf score card that I had filled in from the local Golf Club and then got them to work out the scores for the Golfers. This gets the class using negative numbers both adding and subtracting them to work out the golfer's scores. I give the class a blank scorecard to stick in their books and they copy the details of the actual golf scorecard I give them on to this. The powerpoint explains to the class what a &'birdie&'; 'bogey&' etc are and how to calculate the scores.
Venn Diagram & HCF/LCM Starter

Venn Diagram & HCF/LCM Starter

(6)
Here's a starter task I created using Batman & Superman and Shrek é Donkey. The idea is for the class to use a Venn Diagram to compare the 2 superheroes/characters. I have used this as a starter to finding the HCF and LCM of 2 numbers as well as a starter to teaching Venn Diagrams
