Group Work In Maths

For maths in room 10 have been finishing up our transformation topic. The last 2 sessions the students were working in small groups through a task on scale factors and areas of rectangles - and investigating the relationship between the two. Each group worked really well together, there were some great maths discussions happening and through lots of investigation we came up with the generalisation that 'whatever the scale factor you enlarge your rectangle by, the area is enlarged by the square of the scale factor'.
