2. Guidance Notes for Teachers Some indication of content and range at level 1 and 2 is shown on the next slide. It could also be used as a single project given to students from start to finish. Relevant slides show all the diagrams/questions/answers that are required. End slides have student question sheets and a teacher question/answer sheet. End slides have printable worksheets for students. All of questions in this presentation are designed to be non-calculator. NB: Q12 and 13 may need a brief discussion on the relationship between “A” size papers. Simply handing out an A4 size sheet of paper may suffice, otherwise a more in depth look can be obtained by use of the use of the PAPER PLEASE presentation prior to this one. Generic Advice: The preparation below is advisable in the majority of presentations. 1.Print off the teacher question and answer sheets/worksheets 2.Print off the student question sheets/worksheets 3.Run through the presentation yourself answering the questions 4.Decide how you are going to deliver the presentation. (a) Are you going to go through it from start to finish with the class, perhaps using it as an example/demonstration of functional maths and focusing on the development of the processing skills involved at each stage? (b) Are you going to use only part of the presentation? (c) Are you simply going to use the presentation to introduce the activity and let the class work on their own through the question sheets but refer to some of the elements/answers within the presentation when needed? 5.Remember the slides are editable so if you wish to introduce an open question/small investigation of your own then simply choose the relevant slide add/delete your own text (using a text box if needed).
