Sept 6th - Squares, Cubes and indices

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To work out and learn squares up to 15 sqaured and cubes up to 10 cubed.
To understand how to expand, combine and simplify power numbers

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will know the squares of all numbers up to 15 squared and cubes up to 10 cubed.

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY:

LESSON: Hand out Blank Cards and Explain to Students how to put A number squared on one side and the answer to the number squared on the reverse side. A few examples on board.

TASK 1: Complete all fifteen cards for 1² up to 15²

Now spend 10 mins with a partner using the cards to learn the answers to any that you do not already know.

With Some groups show how to add Square root and a solution to the cards in a different colour and try to learn them

TASK 2: Take another five cards and repeat the exercises but with the first five cubes, 1³, 2³, 3³, 4³, 5³. Again
 use the cards to try and learn the first five cube numbers, and the first five cube roots.

PLENARIES: Helping students / tables of students with the exercise and giving individuals/pairs ideas of how to use their cards to learn them.

EXTENSION: Using Index Notation to simplify expressions and multiplying index numbers together
