I think I’ve done a good job with question 2 in particular, there. I put quite a lot of thought into this set of questions, too. When I taught this lesson, the mini-whiteboard stuff really, really worked on getting students on the same page and up to speed. This lesson has an example problem pair and some mini-whiteboard work. There’s some LOVELY questions in the White Rose Barvember stuff. I love ratio and I’ve got into doing a little bit of bar modelling. Something I’ve wanted to get around to completing for a while. Is there too much spoon feeding going on here? How can I reduce the spoon feeding whilst also making skills explicit? Category: Lesson Ideas Tags: projectalesson, pythagoras Pythagoras’ Theorem I’d love for people to feedback on this lesson. Which I don’t actually think is too complicated. Maybe I’m over explaining things, but in the past I have not made enough things explicit and I’ve just assumed my students will work it out. Moves onto using Pythagoras to find the area of a triangle. Starts with a ‘do Pythagoras but with a little context’ and leads into a question that’s a little more unstructured. It would be interesting to hear people’s point of view on this. You might think that I’ve structured this waaay too much, and removed too much thinking from the students. Often, the unstructured problem solving can be overwhelming for students. I find telling pupils the Pythagoras rules and then getting them to solve ‘problems’ isn’t enough. Sorry Jo!)

I also added a little problem solvey bit where we talk about powers of two and binary. Some UKMT questions, which I stole from this book. Can’t believe I’ve not thought to do that before. Also the first time I’ve put a ‘reveal all’ button on a page. PowerPoint contains a section on writing things in index and expanded form.Īs well as some questions people might find a bit old fashioned. The time and effort behind them is phenomenal. If you get to see Jo do an ‘in depth’ presentation, go. Normally I make a lot of stuff from scratch, but Jo’s work here is so good that I can’t really improve on it. Most of this is stolen from Jo Morgan’s indices in depth presentation. So … I can’t claim that I’ve done much original work here.
