Shapes, Rotations and a Negative Fractional Index :-)
The latest creative writing assignments have been inspiring and, I must admit, I thoroughly enjoy marking some of the materials. Here's this week's favourites:
A character called Captain Blueberry
Other characters called 'Mr Belziur - Rolie' and 'Latichon'
'If anger was gunpowder, he would have enough to blow up the entire solar system'
Brilliant.
Key Stage 2 (2nd to 5th Grade)
Geometry is a key part of the GCSE curriculum and, from early years, students are taught the names of popular shapes.
Here's a useful worksheet - taken from a range of SATS questions - to help develop some core vocabulary.
Key Stage 3 (6th to 8th Grade)
Well done to those students who completed last week's work on translations. I thought it might be good to continue the topic this week, by looking at rotations.
Try this worksheet, answers and video walkthrough.
Thank you to everyone who has visited my Substack - all the previous newsletters have been added .... offering an easy to use, searchable, archive.
Key Stage 4 (9th and 10th Grade)
Here's a single question on 'negative fractional indices' - they only appear fairly infrequently on GCSE papers, but it might be useful to work through :-)
Please do let me know if you need any ideas, thoughts, hints or tips!
Have a great week

PS. And finally:
Breaking news!
8 vowels, 11 consonants, a comma, and an exclamation mark appeared on court.
They are due to be sentenced next week.
