Mon Oct 1st - Algebra - Substitution

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Discover how to change the letter in an expression for a number and then work out the value of the expression.
SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to substitute numerical values into algebraic expressions and then work out the value of the expression  - remembering the rules of BODMAS.

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Lemon Law
LESSON:  Use this Lesson (screens 1 to 6) to show how substitution of variables in an expression works. Repeat question screens if needed. (Plenary - put answers onto screen on teacher machine and get students to self check their own work as they finish it).

Have a go AT This worksheet

EXTENSION WORK: Page 17 of Foundation e-text Book

PLENARY: Checking answers to worksheets, using Screen 7 & 8 to check on understanding.

Fri Sep 28th - Using isometric paper to draw 3D shapes.

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Practising drawing 3d onjects on Isometric Paper
SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to draw 3D shapes and drawings on isometric paper

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Look at thee 3D Drawings to get some inspiration for your own 3D drawing

LESSON: Students who were struggling to draw objects have to copy the shapes that I have pre drawn on isometric paper.

For those who have drawn opbjects correctly anbd are comfortable with drawing 3D objects on isometric paper can have a free rein to create their own 3D picture on a clean piece of isometric paper.

PLENARY: Share peoples drawings with the whole class (Visualiser?), Feedback on confidence

Weds 26th Sep - More complex 3D drawings on Isometric PAper

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to draw 3D shapes on isometric paper.

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Use this tool to get students drawing shapes at different angles on the isometric paper.

LESSON: Try and Copy these shapes, Use page 2 to extend some students.

PLENARIES: Wander around classroom supporting and helping students get drawings correct

EXTENSION: Draw your own coloured 3d scene on isometric paper.

Mon 24th Sep - Drawing 3-D shapes on Isometric Paper

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To discover how to represent 3D shapes on isometric paper

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to represent 3D shapes using isometric paper

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Watch these videos - video1, video2

LESSON: 
Hand out isometric paper, go through drawing differetn size cubes, then different size quadrilaterals.

Have a go at these tasks - Use coulrs to shade in your shape to make it more 3D

1. Draw a 3D letter T
2. Draw a 3D letter E
4. Draw your name (or nickname) in 3D letters

Try and draw these shapes on isometric paper

Isometric Dream House Video

EXTENSION: Create your own 3D picture (like the video) on Isometric paper.

It would be nice to make a display of these pictures.

PLENARY: Checking student work around room whilst working. Stopping whole group where necessary.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To understand how to determine whether one decimal number is smaller than another and then sort a list into size order.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to sort a list of decimal numbers into order
ENGAGEMENT Activity: Play decimals Sorting game from yesterdays lesson

LESSON: Reminder on how to sort decimals, then complete yesterdays two sheets. then

Sheet 3

Extension work:
Harder Sorting 1
Harder Sorting 2

PLENARY: Checking answers, support at desks, stopping whole class if neccesary, peer marking, self marking with answers provided.

Mon 17th Sep - More work on Properties of Qudrilaterals

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To understand how to differentiate between quadrilaterals by considering their properties

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to list the properties of all quadrilaterals and be able to recognise a quadrilateral by its properties.

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Draw a rectangle and a parallelogram.

List all the properties that they have that are the same

LESSON: Work through this Lesson.

Now Hand out blank Properties of Quadrilaterals sheets and a sheet of Properties.

In The Shape Column draw a picture of each of the different shapes listed.

In the other four columns you have to select which of the properties belongs to each shape in each column. They are not all different
PLENARY: Checking Answers, use 'What am I game.. ' for 10 mins at end of lesson to check understanding, ask for feedback from students.

Fri 14th Sep - More work on the properties of Quadrilaterals

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To understand how to differentiate between quadrilaterals by considering their properties

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to list the properties of all quadrilaterals and be able to recognise a quadrilateral by its properties.

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Write down as many different properties of a rectangle. (HINT Think about angles, opposite sides, diagonals, parallel lines.....) Invite students to IWB to write down their properties

LESSON: Quick revision of six Quadrilaterals and how to draw them accurately on squared paper.How to draw diagonals on a quadrilateral. What is meant by perpendicular and bisector

KEYWORDS: square, rectangle, rhombus, paralellogram, kite, trapezium, perpendicular, bisector


Finish the worksheet you started on Wednesday.

PLENARIES: Working with students at their tables to mark.explain/support...
