              Reflective symmetry in 2D shapes

              Students learn how to describe reflective symmetry in 2D shapes using mirror lines.  Learning progresses from finding the lines of symmetry in simple polygons to reflecting shapes in diagonal mirror lines.The start of the lesson recaps identifying the properties of quadrilaterals using coordinates in the first quadrant.  In the plenary students are challenged to create a series of quadrilaterals with different reflective symmetries when three vertices are fixed.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to identify lines of symmetry in 2D shapes.
              • Most students should be able to describe and sketch polygons that are reflectively symmetric.
              • Some students should be able to describe and sketch 2D shapes that are reflectively symmetric.

              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 […]

              When getting ready for a new school year I have a list of priorities to work through. Knowing my team have all the information and resources they need to teach their students gives me confidence we will start the term in the best possible way.  Mathematics Teaching and Learning Folder All teachers receive a folder […]
