              Equation of Circles

              In this mathematics lesson students learn how to apply Pythagoras' Theorem to plot and derive the equation of circles on Cartesian axes.  As learning progresses they using the graphs to solve quadratic and linear equations simultaneously.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to recognise the equation of a circle in the form x2 + y2 = r2.
              • Most students should be able to plot the equation of a circle.
              • Some students should be able to use the equation of a circle to solve simultaneous equations graphically.

              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 […]
