The KING S Medium Term Plan [Mathematics Department] Y8 Learning Cycle 5 Programme Module Challenging question Subject Challenging Question Lines of Enquiry Number (ratio) and Geometry (unit conversions and transformations). How has the world being affected by changes in shapes? How has the world being affected by changes in shapes? In the present learning cycle, students will evaluate how to apply their knowledge of ratio to convert between units and currency. On top of that, pupils will learn hoe to transform a shape using different techniques. Week 1: How does money affect now our daily life? Pupils will recall the different currencies in the world as well as how to convert between them. Conversion graphs will be studies too, and their accuracy will be questioned. Weeks 2-3: What benefits have arisen due to the development of transformations in our life? Students will be taught about transformations and how they can affect shapes. Week 4: How important is to know algebra in real life? Students will recall their knowledge of algebra an will apply it to decipher codes in real life. Pupils will be able to create their own codes too. Week 5: Why do we need to know how to calculate area in real life? This week, pupils will apply their knowledge shapes to calculate the area of simple and compound shapes as well as drawing constructions accurately. Finally pupils will calculate the area of the constructions they have drawn. Week 6-7: Assessment followed by gap teaching from assessment analysis.

The symmetry challenge This CA task deepens pupils ability to create, identify and understand symmetry, reflection and rotational symmetry. They each have a number of square grids all the same size. They have to shade in squares to find as many symmetrical designs as possible. This then develops on to creating designs with a given order of rotational symmetry and even drawing designs with no lines of symmetry but with rotational symmetry of order 2.

Gap Analysis Reinforcement
Week 7 Gap Reinforcemen t As seen in the lesson activities each week, gap teaching will not just be at the end of the Learning Cycle after exam analysis has taken place. Gap teaching is an integral part to each unit of work and will consist of summary sheets, minitests and tasks where gaps can be filled and REACH activities can be delivered. Extended Learning (This is not part of the timed schedule but is seen as additional support) Extended learning will in a variety of forms. During home learning pupils may be asked to use the following sites where they complete quick quizzes, CIMT tasks, GCSE style questions and more open ended tasks. 1) Levelled quizzes http://www.educationquizzes.com/ks3/maths/ 2) Lots of maths online help and activities as well as mini tests http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/websites/11_16/site/maths.shtml 3) http://uk.ixl.com/math/year-7 This link is useful for additional revision and practice on all areas of maths. For semester 4 pupils should click on the Geometry areas for practice questions. 4) http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/maths/handling_data/ this link will provide good revision and extended learning opportunities on the semester 5 project 5) http://sport.maths.org/content/ks3 in depth links to maths and sport Extended learning will also be in lesson plans where links are made to the history theme of historical changes. During Tuesday and Thursday enrichment pupils will have the chance to strengthen skills and develop them further. We will look at UKMT challenges, levelled tasks, GCSE questions and build a Kings Maths Team ready to enter competitions in year 8.
