10 minute one-a-day slide sets
  • Just the slide, no logos, no extras, for one week, ready for your to copy into your favourite presentation software.

  • Change the numbers, when students need more practise

  • Keep the presentation simple so students are not distracted

  • Annotate it in the classroom using the 'write' functions of your software or hardware set-up to teach in real-time.

  • Model the answers to the students in the first lesson of the week and get them to copy the working-out for independent practise during the rest of the week

  • Allow calculator use for some or all students to reduce cognitive fatigue

  • Teacher notes on slides for tips on to teach effectively to low prior-attaining students

  • Go through answers by writing each line of working out and talking through process, rather than preparing one-click answers if you can.

  • Challenge your students by taking notes and/or creating flashcards or teacher screen-shotting and putting them on student on-line resources.

  • Ask them to revise for 5 minutes that night so they are ready to improve tomorrow.
