Mon 17th Dec/Weds 19th Dec Algebra Simplifying / Collecting Like terms

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To practice simplifying algebraic expressions by collecting like terms.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to simplify a variety of algebraic expressions the 

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Hand out the make 200 puzzle sheets. Give students a max of 10 mins to try and solve the problems. Any early finishers let them check their answers against the answers provided. Check answers with all at end of 10 mins

LESSON: Hand out Collecting like terms worksheet. Students to solve all problems on the sheet provided. use answers and get students to check their answers at regular intervals.

EXTENSION: Should anyone complete all questions correctly (Jefferson Might) give them the three sheets from the other activity - a question sheet, a list of symbols against the alphabet, and a sheet of answers against symbols. In this activity they have to simplify the expression, then find out what symbol this represents, then write down the letter that the symbol represents (Easy to do than explain!!!)

PLENARIES: Checking students work

Fri Dec 14th Continue reviewing tests

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Understand weak areas from Maths test after updating flightpath and reviewing test answers
SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to target your revision as you will know which were your weakest areas from the last maths test
