Year 7 Carousel Lesson
Year 7 Carousel Lesson
As a mathematics department we incorporate ‘practical work’ into lessons. This can help:
- motivate pupils, by stimulating interest and enjoyment
- develop attitudes and attributes', such as open-mindedness and objectivity
By combining theoretical with practical understanding learners are able to apply their conceptual understanding to real life objects and scenarios.
Learners worked in groups to find practical solutions to problems relating to volume, surface area and 3D shapes. This allowed them to apply their theoretical knowledge from previous lessons appropriately to various scenarios.
3-D Shapes and Nets
3-D Shapes and Nets
Learning about 3D shapes is a great opportunity for a range of hands-on activities that will ensure learners can understand the concept through visual and practical means. To help our learners understand the concepts of Volume and Surface Area, they created nets of cubes and cuboids.
TANGRAMS (A Traditional Chinese Puzzle)
TANGRAMS (A Traditional Chinese Puzzle)
Using tangrams gives learners an opportunity to use a manipulative set to construct understanding of geometric ideas. Using tangrams can help learners develop spatial skills. They can move the pieces around to note the relationships, and learn reflections, rotations, and translations. This is a good way for learners to put their theoretical understanding of transformations into practice in a fun and interactive way.

RUBIKS CHALLENGE
RUBIKS CHALLENGE
The winner of the Rubiks Cube challenge in KS3 was Kenaf Abdul Razzakh (7BR).
MATHS WEEK 7th - 11th OCTOBER 2018
MATHS WEEK 7th - 11th OCTOBER 2018
KS3 students took part in relay races competing against each other in tutor groups. This allowed students to solve mathematical problems whilst bringing an element of competitiveness amongst students by racing back and forth to receive new problems to solve.
KS3 students took part in a timed rubiks challenge. The Rubik's Cube puzzle can greatly boost students spatial intelligence as it deals with understanding the organisational complexities of structure and spatial transformations which are required to accomplish the puzzle. It also hones the co-ordination and visual/perceptual skills of students.
