A series of lessons on iteration (2-3). The lesson begins with rearranging formula in many ways which is part b) of the iteration question in the ew GCSE. It moves forward to using iteration to find particular values and then develops pupils learning to finding estimates to a solution by doing a series of iterative. There is a killer question which is a typical GCSE exam question. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels to allow pupils to practice the skill and also stretch and challenge the more able. All solutions are included in the lesson so that pupils can self mark their work. This lesson has been used with top set year 11 and all pupils were engaged and made good progress through the tasks.

Red and Green treasure hunt where pupils answer a question, find the solution and so on. 2 different levels to ensure that there is differentiation. Can be used for revision and once laminated used over again. Pupils engaged whether doing it in class books, as a poster or as a treasure hunt

This is a series of lessons (2-4) which covers solving equations with an unknown on both sides. The lesson allows pupils to master the skill of solving equations with an unknown on both sides but then allows the more able to tackle questions with brackets and worded problems. There is also a large section of the lesson designated for algebra with shape problems dealing with various different scenarios. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels. There are plenty of opportunities to problem solve and also a lot of reasoning tasks which are suitable for the new curriculum. All questions have solutions so this makes it easier to self mark and address misconceptions. Used with both KS3 and KS4 and pupils were really engaged.

A series of lessons (2-3) on using similarity to find areas and volumes. The lesson has 2 RAG sheets on area and volume which are differentiated to 3 levels. The lesson also includes problem solving tasks such as algebra, finding different scale factors and using them accordingly to find missing lengths, areas and volumes. Used on top set year 11 and all were engaged and challenged All tasks are differentiated, 2-4 levels for each task to make it accessible to all pupils but also to stretch the more able. All tasks have full solutions to it is easy to peer and self assess during the lesson. The lesson includes reasoning and problem solving tasks which ensure that this is suitable for the 9-1 GCSE curriculum. I have used this lesson and pupils were engaged yet challenged.

A series of lessons (2-3) on using the multiplier to calculate percentage increase and decrease. It starts by having a task on finding the single multiplier and then continues with varying tasks on using the multiplier to calculate percentage increase and decrease. It brings in compound interest to challenge the more able pupils. All tasks are differentiated to at least 3 levels to challenge all pupils but ensure they are accessible to everyone, All tasks have solutions to make it easy to mark. There are reasoning questions, problem solving questions and killer questions to make this suitable for the 9-1 curriculum. I have used this lesson and pupils were engaged and challenged.

Series of Lessons (2-3) on adding and subtracting negative numbers. This lesson gives pupils enough opportunity to master the fluency, however gives them the chance to use an apply these numbers in varying contexts All tasks include reasoning, problem solving aswell as mastering the fluency of the topic. All tasks include full solutions and worked examples so that pupils can self and peer mark. All tasks are fully differentiated to either 2/3/4 levels.

A series of lessons (2-4) based on substitution. The lesson has separate tasks for positive and negative numbers and also allows pupils to work with shape problems. The lesson then stretches pupils to deal with substituting in to mathematical forumlae. I have used formulae such as Pythagoras, Trapezium, Sine and Cosine aswell as volume of cones/spheres in order to prepare for pupils for these formulas at KS4. Quadratic Formula is also included. All tasks are differentiated either 3 or 4 levels. All tasks have solutions so pupils can self mark with some of the solutions handwritten so pupils can see a full worked solutions. This has been used with classes of varying ability and all have been able to access the lesson up to their desired ability.
