S2 Maths.
Teaching how to use a protractor to measure angles.
I found a worksheet on the intertubes (which I have now lost) and was able to get the pupils started on it right away. That lead to a smooth start to the lesson where everyone knew what to do and what was expected of them.
It was at the right level and most of the class could do the work with no assistance, leaving me to help the one or two who were a little less confident.
Then I stepped it up and wrote some more demanding problems for the class on the board. The level was just beyond what we had done and so the pupils were stretched, but not to breaking point. One remarked that it was a good lesson because it was “hard, and you had to think”
