              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.

              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 […]

              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 […]
