              Area of Irregular Shapes

              Students learn how to find the area of irregular shapes by grouping.  As learning progresses they are challenged to consider the range of accuracy for their solutions and more complex irregular areas.  An accompanying worksheet that matches the interactive whiteboard presentation is included to aid pace.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to measure an irregular area involving non rectilinear polygons.
              • Most students should be able to measure an irregular area of shapes with curved edges.
              • Some students should be able to measure a irregular areas of compound shapes.

              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 […]

              Mathematics OFSTED Inspection – The Deep Dive

              July 6, 2019

              Earlier this week, my school took part in a trial OFSTED inspection as part of getting ready for the new inspection framework in September 2019. This involved three Lead Inspectors visiting our school over the course of two days. The first day involved a ‘deep dive’ by each of the Lead Inspectors into Mathematics, English […]
