This teaching support video aimed at maths teachers features Isaac Anoom taking a lesson on the handshake problem: How many handshakes can *n* number of people make? His lesson--observed by the class teacher and local authority maths advisor for Hertfordshire--is then discussed, along with some of the difficulties that teachers face when teaching algebra. Isaac--also known as 'Mr. Numbervator'--is a qualified, OFSTED-commended, experienced class teacher in key stages 1, 2 and 3. He holds a Teacher of The Year Award, is primary maths advisor for Guernsey, and is a maths consultant. The lesson was filmed at Mount Pleasant Nursery and JMI School near St. Albans and features a year 6 class. This programme is part of the KS2 Maths Lesson Planning Pack on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages which includes two lesson starters, one great lesson idea and a CPD discussion.
