Year 7 Rich Task activities

In this section I am making available some teaching notes for year 7 classes. These have been written with schools I have been working with in my AST role. We tried to address the appropriate content and include rich tasks, i.e. ones which help students to understand and learn through deeper thinking and involvement.
The Overview explains the ideas and an index and is a good place to start.

This part of my blog is under construction so you will currently find that hyperlinks to SmartBoard notebook files do not work. However, most of these are also available from each unit plan in Word form.

Year 7 unit plans with Rich Tasks

I have recently worked with some North Wiltshire schools on trying to find "rich tasks" to link to current year 7 units to address some of the aims of the new curriculum. I am currently struggling to find the best way to make these available but there is a link here to the summary page I have made showing what is available http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-documents/index.php and a link here gives a blank unit plan: http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-media/index.php Note that hyperlinks to external sites should be ok but those to other files I made will not work yet. I have spoken to the people at County Hall who support web development and after April 1st I hope to be able to submit folder to them to upload so that people can access a folder for each unit worked on that will contain an overview of the lessons and active hyperlinks to the resources needed and to any externally referenced websites.
