              Volume of Similar Shapes and Volume Scale Factor

              Students learn how to calculate the volume scale factor from similar solids to calculate a capacity. As learning progresses they are challenged to find the length and area ratios using the volume scale factor.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to calculate the volume scale factor given two corresponding lengths in similar solids.
              • Most students should be able to derive and apply the volume scale factor to calculate unknown volumes in similar solids
              • Some students should be able to derive and apply the volume and length scale factors to calculate unknown measurements in solid shapes.

              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 […]

              Mathematics OFSTED Inspection – The Deep Dive

              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 […]
