              Calculating Speed, Distance and Time

              Using ratio notation students learn how to calculate the speed when given distance and time.  As learning progresses equivalent ratios are use to calculate time and distance when speed is given.The start of the lesson recaps writing ratios in the form 1 : n by matching equivalent ratios together.  The plenary challenges students to find the average speed of a journey with multiple stages.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to use ratio notation to calculate an average speed.
              • Most students should be able to use ratio notation to calculate speed, distance and time.
              • Some students should be able to solve complex problems involving speed, distance and time.

              Area of Compound Shapes

              January 13, 2020

              To find the area of compound shapes students need to understand what the word compound means.  Therefore, I ask students to discuss in pairs a definition for the word compound and to extend it to include the shapes below.  As a result of their learning in science students agree that a compound can be defined […]
