              3D Shapes and Prisms

              Students learn about 3D shapes and prisms using their cross section, faces, vertices and number of edges.  More able students are challenged to sketch the solids using perspective drawings.  Less able students learn how to describe a shape using its special features.At the start of the lesson students learn about prisms and how to spot a cross section.  In the main part they go on to count the number of faces, vertices and edges different solids can have.  The end of the lesson challenges students to imagine how the properties of a cube have changed when two of its vertices are removed.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to name and describe the properties of a 3D shape.
              • Most students should be able to understand the key features of a prism and describe a 3D shape using its geometrical properties.
              • Some students should be able to identify a 3D shape using its geometrical features.

              Literacy in Mathematics – Creating Problem Solvers

              October 28, 2019

              Last year my school had a OFSTED trial inspection. Whilst the maths team recieved favourable feedback the inspectors noted a need for a focus on whole school literacy. Because of this I was asked to demonstrate how we develop student’s literacy in mathematics. Literacy in Mathematics By developing student’s literacy in mathematics we aim to […]

              Angles in Polygons

              October 16, 2019

              There are two key learning points when solving problems with angles in polygons.  The first is to understand why all the exterior angles of a polygon have a sum of 360°.  The second is to understand the interior and exterior angles appear on the same straight line. Students can be told these two facts and […]
