              Problems with Circular Shapes

              Students use the circumference and area of a circle to solve a variety of problems with circular shapes.  Throughout the lesson students develop their calculator and non-calculator techniques as solutions are presented in terms of pi or decimals rounded to three significant figures.The start of the lesson recaps finding the circumference and area of a circle as a decimal and in terms of pi.  The plenary challenges students students to calculate the perimeter and area of a circle and semi-circle.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to solve problems involving the perimeter of circular shapes.
              • Most students should be able to solve problems involving the perimeter and area of circular shapes.
              • Some students should be able to set up and solve equations to model the area and perimeter of circular shapes.

              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 […]
