KS2 Maths - Geometry: Lesson Review

In this programme from Teachers TV Petula Allen, headteacher and former mathematics adviser helps Gary Clapperton review his lesson on Geometry with Year Six.

Petula reflects on how useful the whiteboard is and they look in detail at how it enhanced Gary's explanation of ratio. The way that the shapes can be moved and re-sized in proportion was found by both to be an especially effective use of ICT. They discuss the difficulty the children had estimating angles accurately and the pros and cons of using "real life" shapes. They reflect on points in the lesson that went well and on the areas that may be developed further.
