Guidance Notes for Teachers Some indication of content and range at level 1 and 2 is shown on the next slide. Slide 28 is a printable exact scale drawing of the garden that students need to use/refer to throughout. Note that all dimensions are whole numbers except for the SW fence and the NE Hedge. Check that this is correct after printing and again after photocopying. You should print this now before you do anything else so as to become familiar with it. Slide 5 shows the plan of the garden in colour (without a background grid). Unfortunately background grids do not show up in PowerPoint once the presentation is running. The questions on Slides 6 to 10 show the same plan but reduced in size and superimposed with a grid. This is so that you can refer to the plan as the answers appear if you wish. This plan is degraded in quality since it is simply a snatched image of a slide but it should still be useful. Printable teacher Q + A sheets and student question sheets together with all worksheets can be found on slides towards the end. Calculator symbols are used throughout but these can easily be modified depending on the group if need be. Generic Advice: The preparation below is advisable in the majority of presentations. 1.Print off the teacher question and answer sheets/worksheets 2.Print off the student question sheets/worksheets 3.Run through the presentation yourself answering the questions 4.Decide how you are going to deliver the presentation. (a) Are you going to go through it from start to finish with the class, perhaps using it as an example/demonstration of functional maths and focusing on the development of the processing skills involved at each stage? (b) Are you going to use only part of the presentation? (c) Are you simply going to use the presentation to introduce the activity and let the class work on their own through the question sheets but refer to some of the elements/answers within the presentation when needed? 5.Remember the slides are editable so if you wish to introduce an open question/small investigation of your own then simply choose the relevant slide add/delete your own text (using a text box if needed).

Intro Designing a Garden © Lisa Turay/bigstockphoto.com What mathematics might be involved in designing a garden? Stuart and Sarah are moving into their new house next month and they would like some help from you in designing their garden. They have made a simple initial design on their computer which they would like you to look over to see if it's OK and to check a few of the measurements and calculations for them. They have a scale drawing that you can use. Perhaps you could also help them with the placement of some additional features that they are considering adding (bird bath, footbath, ornamental statue and an extra flower bed). They are also a bit worried about the overall cost so maybe you can advise on this too!
