              Geometric Sequences

              Throughout this mathematics lesson students learn how to derive the nth term for geometric sequences in the form arn-1.  As learning progresses they consider progressions with fraction and negative common ratios.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to find the common ratio of a geometric sequence.
              • Most students should be able to find the common ratio and nth term of a geometric sequence.
              • Some students should be able to solve compound percentage problems using geometric sequences.

              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 […]
