This activity board supplements the 'Area of Composite Shapes PPT'.In this simple game, students utilise dice and the board to battle for the available area. This board allows for many iterations of dice games, its open ended! In my class I like to suggest to students that what they roll on the 2 dice, is the dimension of their array which they can claim from the opponent, without overlap. In the latter stages they can split their arrays either horizontally or vertically and place them. If t

This is a simple consolidation task linking a visual method for calculating gradient (rise over run), with the abstract method which utilised two paired coordinates on the line. Students can self-check their abstract method, by comparing it with their visual method. Explicit teaching of each method would need to occur before this task is presented. This task is used as a folio task, prior to an assessment, to be used to draw on if student is unavailable to complete the provided assessment.

Students apply index laws to numbers (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This handout provides a basic go-to-guide of the key index laws for students to refer to throughout the Index Laws unit. Index Laws Unit (Year 9 AC) by Lampe Learning | TPT (teacherspayteachers.com)This handout is provided as a bonus file within the unit linked above. It can be printed, laminated, glued in or used as recurring handouts. However, you can best make use of it. I would recommend withholding thi

Students expand binomial expressions (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This differentiated assessment task allows students to showcase their capacity to expand binomial expressions. Students with a strong grasp of the concept can take on the gold extension, which requires them to factorise binomial expressions. Each section is accompanied by worked examples, with the expanding of binomial expressions linked back to the FOIL, Crab Claw and Multiplication Grid methods. If you like wha
