              Equations with the Unknown on Both Sides

              At the start of the lesson students review solving a two step linear equation using the balance method.  The development phase extends their learning by introducing equations where the unknown appears on both sides.  As students become more proficient the equations progress to include brackets and fractions. 
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to solve equations with the unknown on both sides
              • Most students should be able to solve equations with the unknown on both sides involving brackets.
              • Some students should be able to solve equations with the unknown on both sides involving fractions and brackets.

              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 […]
