              Rounding to Significant Figures

              Students learn how to round a number to a significant figure using number lines and place value.  As learning progresses they are challenged to approximate square and cube roots.  An interactive Excel file and Tarsia activity are included in order to provide additional consolidation.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to round a positive number, greater than one to one significant figure.
              • Most students should be able to round any number to one or more significant figures.
              • Some students should be able to calculate the limits of accuracy when a number has been rounded to a significant figure.

              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 […]

              Priorities for the Spring Term

              January 4, 2020

              At the start of the Spring Term these are three main priorities for me as the Head of Mathematics.

              Mutually Exclusive Outcomes and Events

              January 1, 2020

              I teach mutually exclusive outcomes directly after students have encountered Venn diagrams. This is the fifth Year 8 Probability lesson.
