Either side of half term I've been teaching vectors to Yr 10 higher.
I wanted to put a thread together on how I scaffold the leap to vector algebra, and how vector algebra is a lovely vehicle for interleaving.

I did loads of vector thinking a couple of years ago, especially prompted by @danicquinn's #mathscpdchat in Nov 2019
We then taught vectors in y11, around the same time as translations.
Later, I moved it to y10, straight after ratio and algebra work

Before half term I did a load of work on column vectors, drawing, adding and subtracting, multiplying by scalars, seeing these visually, and also filling blanks in for the sums.
Also important for students to see the reverse vector is the negative

Factorising non-monics
I had read about doing this before factorising monics.
So I gave it a go.
Fans of #donsteward 's boxes (donsteward.blogspot.com/2019/02/boxes-…) will like this!
This is y10 set 2 aiming for grade 6/7. Some of them will do A-level.

I appreciate this is leaving nothing to chance, direct teaching. This took four lessons in total.
I was a little delayed, when, halfway through the week almost half the class got put into self-isolation and I was teaching it blended with 13 at home and 16 in the classroom.

I'd written about this approach here in theory logsandroots.wordpress.com/2020/10/11/way…

so this week has all been about putting this plan into action.
