Geometry Genies! Group Teaching Session & Homework Help

**In this class, tasks are set for each learner based on ability and age - so learners are catered for as much as possible, as opposed to the whole class working on one problem together. The screen may be split with two different topics being covered so that all learners are provided for and challenged appropriately**

Each week learners will cover a range of geometry topics. Each week we will explore up to 5 topics through exercises, games, puzzles, quizzes and activities and as we identify the areas for improvement I will plan for subsequent weeks to cover the areas needing attention the most for all learners.

Week 1: 2D shapes, facts and areas and perimeters of shapes
Week 2: 3D shapes, facts and volume/surface area of shapes, plans and elevations
Week 3: Angle facts, polygons, Pythagorean Theorem
Week 4: Transformations and Symmetry
(Week 5: Units, scales and maps )

Topics will include: Angle facts, Angles in triangles and polygons, Area of shapes
Circle Area, Circumference and Parts, Congruence, Transformation of Shapes (Reflection, Rotation, Translation and Enlargement), Plans & Elevations, Pythagorean Theorem, Scales and Maps, Shape Facts, Surface Area, Symmetry, Unit Conversion, Volume.

I invite learners to share what they already know, what they find tricky and how they see the problem. I share interactive and animated slides to teach plenty of examples to equip learners with the confidence to complete work independently as well as support each other and rapidly gain confidence. Games, puzzles and quizzes are purposeful tasks which I like to include as well as looking at misconceptions and exam-style questions.

Sharing our own homework tasks, mistakes and wins is also very useful in deepening learners' understanding so students are encouraged to share as much as possible with myself and each other the specifics of what they are working on, any clips and links to useful resources and using our discussions to help each other.
