Edexcel Unit 3 This and That

Edexcel Unit 3 This and that

Teacher instructions

Look at the list of past questions. Pick a few topics that you want to revise, find the question on the past paper and type them onto a list of questions – add the marks allocated for each one and the date of each paper for reference.

Print and cut out both of pages 4 ‘Concept Cards’ and 5’Topic Triangles’ – either one set per student or one per group.

Task 1 – starter:

Each student takes one Topic Triangle and two Concept Cards; they must find a way to describe a link between each of the Cards and the Triangle.

Task 2: building theory into questions

Teacher picks and pre-prints a selection of past questions from the list on page 2-3 (don’t worry about the data response stimulus material, just give them the question). Type out the full questions, with marks available, on a sheet of paper, print and give the list of questions to the students.

They should find the appropriate ‘Topic Triangle’ and asmany as possible of the ‘Concept Cards’ that they could use in the answer to each question.

Differentiation – all should be able to identify at least two rectangles per question; the more able should be able to identify a longer list.
