Full lesson on significant figures. We look at why we use significant figures in real life situations (newspapers) and how we would round to 1/2/3 sf.

Lesson on solving equations that include fractions and decimals including starter that builds on solving 1 and 2 step equations. Originally taught to a mid-ability year 10 class Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Introduction to rearranging formulae. Two notebooks. Rearranging formulae - intro for low ability, will then be able to move to the second notebook Rearranging formulae 2 - can be used as an intro for a higher ability group.

Lesson focussing on rearranging equations where the coefficient of x is greater than 1 whilst providing links to solving equations for students to link back to previous lessons.

This full lesson covers solving equations involving brackets and when there is an ‘x’ on both sides. First taught to a mid-ability year 10 class but can be easily adapted to your classes needs. Thanks

Introduction to area of a circle. BUilding up finding the area using squares before moving onto using Pi

Introduction to solving equations with one and two step equations being used. Builds up slowly and can be used to clear up misconceptions. Used with a mid-ability year 10 class all taking foundation. Any feedback apprieciated! Thanks!

Smart notebook using co-ordinates and finding the midpoint of a line segment.

Rearranging formulae including indicies. Linking back to solving equations for extra scaffolding.

Full lesson that goes through rounding to 1, 2, 3 and 4 d.p. as well as when and how to use rounding effectively. Links to real life situations such as timing at the OIympics

This lesson starts with a recap of the nth term rule and then links this to linear graphs. It is quite an abstract connection and would work better with higher ability groups but can work equally well with lower ability groups if provided with extra scaffolding.

Introduction to linear graphs including; How to draw axis Y = 2, X = 3 etc Graphs of y=x and y=-x for discussion Worksheets for consolidation

Good intro lesson for circles. Introducing the concepts of radius and diameter and allowing them to see other things such as chords and segments. Lesson also goes through how to draw a circle using a compass.

Looks at why we estimate number. How we estimate number (by rounding to 1sf) and links to other areas such as geometry.

Introduction to the circumference of a circle and builds up to discovering Pi using estimation. Worksheet on finding an estimate of Pi

An activity to consolidate inverse functions work after students have learned about them. Includes variation on similar functions so the answers are not obvious to the students.

Inverse function lesson used during a NQT observation to a higher year 10 group. Uses function machines to help with the concept of ‘going backwards’ before moving to an algebraic method got replacing f(x) with y and rearranging. Works great with the inverse function tarsia I have also created.
