Building Yard

This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by mathematics adviser and performer Isaac Anoom. Filmed in a building yard, it raises quick-fire starter questions on: estimating lengths, using nets to find the shortest route between two points, ratio and proportion applied to area and perimeter, volume of a cylinder and number sequences.

A question is posed for each topic, offering a pause point for teachers to hold a freeze frame on screen while students discuss the question. The video is designed for teachers to use with an interactive whiteboard.
