N3 - Four Operations

7 Resources
A collection of lessons focusing on the efficiency of calculations including: The properties of Addition and Subtraction Learn different ways to carry out multiplication Formal methods of long and short division Factors and Multiples A consolidation lesson for the four operations The properties of odds, evens, primes, squares and cubes Order of operations
The order of operations

The order of operations

(0)
This lesson looks at the order of operations within calculations. It encourages students to think about why this is the order of operations. Some of the resources have come from WR maths.
Odd, even, prime, square and cube numbers

Odd, even, prime, square and cube numbers

(0)
Lesson that looks at: identifying odd and even numbers sense checking calculations such as odd+odd=even Prime numbers How to calculate square numbers (inc video demo) How to calculate cube numbers (inc video demo) You must enable content for all videos to work.
The laws of addition and subtraction.

The laws of addition and subtraction.

(0)
This lesson looks at the commutative and associative laws of addition, different strategies of how to complete additions and subtraction efficiently (partitioning, compensating etc.) as well as fact families for addition and subtraction. Uses resources from WR maths as well as my own input.
N1 - Place Value

N1 - Place Value

6 Resources
Collection of resources focusing on the magnitude of positive numbers including: Read and write positive integers Read and write decimal numbers Placing numbers on number lines Using inequality symbols (<,>,= etc.) Comparing and ordering any numbers Rounding to powers of 10 Rounding to significant figures Rounding to decimals Truncation Bounds Introduction to standard form Includes resources from WR Maths and my own input.
Powers of 10 and standard form

Powers of 10 and standard form

(0)
Write 10, 100, 1000 etc as powers of ten Write positive integers in the form A x 10n Investigate negative powers of ten Write decimals in the form A x 10n With a place value table that helps with writing in standard form. I have used resources from WR Maths as well as my own input.
The place value of decimals

The place value of decimals

(0)
This lesson looks at the place value of decimals, how to write and say them, and placing them on a number line. Use of WR maths resources, other resources found on line and my own input.
Read and write positive integers

(0)
This lesson discusses the Arabic numeral system and introduces the students to place value. There is lots of opportunity for discussion on how to represent numbers before introducing a place value table that can help for numbers in any base. Continues onto placing numbers on a number line where you can explore differing intervals. Adapted using resources from WR maths and my own input.

Inverse Functions

(0)
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.
Inverse functions Tarsia Puzzle

Inverse functions Tarsia Puzzle

(0)
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.
Circles

Circles

3 Resources
Lesson 1 - Drawing circles with a compass. Radius and diameter Lesson 2 - Circumference and discovering Pi Lesson 3 - Estimating the area and using Pi to find the area Perfect for an intro to circles as it gets the students to discover and discuss their findings.
