Equations

This video from Teachers TV observes mathematics teacher Jonny Heeley, as he inspires a group of gifted and talented Year Nine students with an interactive lesson on equations.

The difference between expressions and equations is established using a variety of challenges to excite and entertain his students. The students then progress to solve a selection of linear equations before using a quadratic equation to find the dimensions of a flowerbed.

Jonny won The Guardian Award for Teacher of the Year in a Secondary School in the North of England in 2007.
