Back to topicsTips for teaching maths with PowerPoint
- Start with a quick starter. A few mental maths questions on the board gets everyone thinking before the main topic.
- Reveal working one step at a time. Show each line of a worked example separately so students follow the method, not just the answer.
- Pair every example with a try-it question. After each worked example, give a similar question for students to attempt straight away.
- Use diagrams and colour. Highlight angles, terms or sides in colour so students can see what changes from step to step.
- Link to exam questions. Finish with a real past paper question so students see how the topic is examined.
- Keep slides editable. Every presentation here can be changed, so adapt the examples to your class.
