Adaptations of work by Mike Ollerton using Nearpod. Open ended enquiry.
http://np1.nearpod.com/sharePresentation.php?code=e3e30687298cdf113d7574d264b94051 The levels I have put on this chart may be slightly out, I haven't had time to fully check them. The half term task has come from the Wiki as we try to move to the pupils directing the learning. For this lesson each table will have a toy car and be asked to make a box. There will be no help offered by me, we will have all the resources they need available. I will photograph work, put it on the Wiki and we will discuss strategies and work together to make nets (presuming they work this out). From there we will go on to how much card we have used and into surface area (this has been a topic raised on the wiki already). Pupils should have photo's ready for this lesson (from homework - find a photo that raises a question) which we will use to direct our learning this half term.
Following on from the previous lesson - 3d drawing to lead into surface area. Sticking to the skilled steps. Lesson developed from feedback of the pupils who said they liked the structure and clarity of direction of the previous lesson.
A lesson I planned for pupils currently at grade G to F. It isn't a lights and bells exciting lesson and, while I prefer to teach with them, it doesn't have rich investigations. Mostly because I barely know the class, they currently have a very low threshold for resiliance and little confidence in their own ability. Match this with an exam looming in November and this is what I ended up with. It does break down the topic skill by skill and lets the pupils see exactly what they need to do to get to the next grade with plenty of review opportunities after each step. I started with a game of squares (sneaking in negative numbers), we completed the lesson up to the triangle demonstration which everyone completed using a piece of A4. I was surprised at how taken impressed some of the pupils were that the two cut pieces fitted exactly on top of the triangle. Next lesson we will start with a bit of 3D drawing on isometric paper (drawing small shapes made of blocks) which will give us a lead in to surface area (I hope)
