![]() ![]() ![]() Something I’ve wanted to get around to completing for a while. Is there too much spoon feeding going on here? How can I reduce the spoon feeding whilst also making skills explicit? Category: Lesson Ideas Tags: projectalesson, pythagoras Pythagoras’ Theorem I’d love for people to feedback on this lesson. Which I don’t actually think is too complicated. Maybe I’m over explaining things, but in the past I have not made enough things explicit and I’ve just assumed my students will work it out. Moves onto using Pythagoras to find the area of a triangle. Starts with a ‘do Pythagoras but with a little context’ and leads into a question that’s a little more unstructured. It would be interesting to hear people’s point of view on this. You might think that I’ve structured this waaay too much, and removed too much thinking from the students. Often, the unstructured problem solving can be overwhelming for students. I find telling pupils the Pythagoras rules and then getting them to solve ‘problems’ isn’t enough. Sorry Jo!) Category: Lesson Ideas Tags: indices, projectalesson Applications of Pythagoras Multiplying to come next (it’s basically copied and pasted from Jo again. I also added a little problem solvey bit where we talk about powers of two and binary. Some UKMT questions, which I stole from this book. Can’t believe I’ve not thought to do that before. Also the first time I’ve put a ‘reveal all’ button on a page. PowerPoint contains a section on writing things in index and expanded form.Īs well as some questions people might find a bit old fashioned. The time and effort behind them is phenomenal. If you get to see Jo do an ‘in depth’ presentation, go. Normally I make a lot of stuff from scratch, but Jo’s work here is so good that I can’t really improve on it. Most of this is stolen from Jo Morgan’s indices in depth presentation. So … I can’t claim that I’ve done much original work here.

This plenary activity offers a wide range of questions on a variety of shapes to challenge students’ understanding. Pyramid volume proofĪ practical lesson that results in students deriving the formula for the volume of a pyramid. This resource provides help to students struggling to visualise cuboid related problems. Finding the volume and surface area of a cuboid Area and perimeter of trianglesĪn engaging resource that requires students to find the area and perimeter of triangles – includes an extension task to consolidate understanding. Learn how to use Autograph to teach volumes of revolution – an effective way to aid students’ understanding of 3D problems. Area puzzle starterĪn unusual resource to get students thinking at the start of a lesson. Drawing, volume and surface area of prismsĪ functional resource that develops a variety of skills and comes with a plentiful list of extension tasks. The compound shape questions are particularly useful. ![]() Circumference and perimeter treasure huntĪn easy to use resource to challenge pupils. Remembering formulae isn’t the way for students to learn this topic it is through visual and interactive learning that it will stick. On the other hand, it has the potential to be brought to life to capture students’ imagination and interest. Perimeter, area and volume can be a fairly tedious topic to teach. ![]() They can be downloaded for free by registering on the TES website.
