Session 2: Developing strategies to teach A*/A topics
![Page 24: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Objectives
• To consider the topics that potentially limit the attainment of gifted and talented students
• To develop a bank of resources to engage and challenge the most able students in these identified topics
![Page 25: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Task
• Generate a list of A/A* topics that students find difficult in their examinations
![Page 28: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Topics – some suggestions
• Application of algebra in geometry questions (e.g. volumes of cones and spheres using algebra)
• Applying surds in unfamiliar situations (e.g. Pythagoras’ Theorem)
• Proof, including algebra, vectors and circle theorems
• Manipulation of algebra, including algebraic fractions
• Histograms• Transformation of graphs
![Page 29: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Making links
• Sort the cards into groups
Extension:
You have 4 sets and 4 extra cards• Write more cards for the extra ones so that there
are 8 sets altogether
• Sketch the 8 graphs, marking on the key points of interception
![Page 30: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Types of Activity
During previous subject leader network meetings
we have considered the following strategies:• Card sorts (including Tarsia activities)• Mystery tasks• Developing exam questions• Exploring misconceptions• Functional mathematics problems• Probing questions• Ordering student responses• Investigations – open ended tasks
![Page 31: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Task
In pairs or threes …
… choose at least one of the identified topics and create a resource that will assist the teaching and learning of this area.
(it could be something that you already do!!)
![Page 32: Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681351b550346895d9c764b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Next Steps
In your school:• Consider whether the list of difficult topics would
be the same for your school• Repeat this process back in school to generate a
bank of resources for targeted groups (e.g. C/D borderline)
• Integrate the resources into your scheme of work once you receive them
