If you are a school/college and would like to place an order and be INVOICED later, please email sales@apt-initiatives.com.
This set of 11 PowerPoint Presentations, written by a highly experienced teacher (of 25+ years), senior examiner and reviser for Maths and Stats examinations, are designed for use by:
- any teacher – not necessarily a maths specialist – as part of their own delivery of lessons.
- students working independently.
They can be used by:
- cover teachers.
- students who are unable to attend their lesson in person.
Each PowerPoint Presentation includes:
- Lesson objectives
- Step-by-step explanations of the subject matter
- Examples to aid understanding
- Questions to check understanding
- Answers to questions, with explanations
- Suggestions regarding which topic(s) should be moved on to next.
These are one of several sets of PowerPoint Presentations, which essentially relate to the ‘number’ section of the Maths specifications. These other sets of PowerPoints concern:
- Calculations
- Fractions
- Percentages
