18 May 2013 | 1 - NumberBlogTeaching

Last night I had every intention of this worksheet (and solution)  being purely for standard form, but I got thinking about how teaching in discrete topics sometimes means that the students are able to demonstrate their understanding at that moment in time, but a couple of weeks later its gone! (its probably the same for every topic with some ...

Standard form Connect 4

16 May 2013 | 1 - NumberBlogResources

This is topic that I find students need reminding about – it just doesn’t seem to stick for some of them. Its also a topic that isn’t worth a great deal of marks on an exam BUT seems to make an appearance every exam session, and every mark counts so I’ve put the attached Connect ... Read more

Expanding and simplify 2

11 May 2013 | 2 - AlgebraBlogResources

The attached (and solution) has been put together as an extension to an earlier connect 4 I made for this subject.
