Dice Rolling Game Simple Addition 2 player Numeracy challenge

Dice Rolling Game Simple Addition 2 player Numeracy challenge

(2)
This is pretty simple (hence it's free) as all it is 4 worksheets for the students to use... Give each pair worksheet 1. Each player in turn rolls the dice, records the score and then adds up their running total. Once you've got a winner then let them play game two where it is done with two dice... and so on All the worksheet does is provide a template for them to write into. You could adapt it by using dice with more than six sides - go look in you Maths Resource cupboard and see what's in there! ... I found some 10, 12 and 20 sided dice.
Scatter Graphs Discussion Questions Circus Task Collaborative Activity  Maths Mastery Magenta Lesson

Scatter Graphs Discussion Questions Circus Task Collaborative Activity Maths Mastery Magenta Lesson

(1)
A lesson built around the objective: Develop further understanding leading to mastery of scatter graphs. The idea is that after a starter exercise the class move around in tables of four attempting each of the circus activities. Then they are given a written exercise to back it up and then a whole class plenary activity. See the attached lesson plan. The good points noted by an observer of this lesson were: *Collaborative learning in mixed ability groups *Pupils could explain the decisions they made *Use of subject specific vocabulary buy the pupils *Opportunities for Mastery *Use of Magenta Principle - Arrange *Encourage pupils to challenge answers. Not all the resources listed in the plan are located here. Some come from other TES contributors, but as long as you get a collection of activities which each take about the same duration you can set up a good Circus of activities. Starter comes from Scatter Graph Matching Cards by "john_speight" The "Six Cards Discussion" is the attached PPT. This is excellent for prompting discussion. Some of the slides are copied from some other Contributors resources. The True/False is my TES free resource "11307990". This is the activity which has the most discussion The Correlation match posters come from Scatter graphs and best-fit lines by "frickard". This was quite short so needs extra added otherwise this group finishes too quickly. The draw LOBF worksheet is one part of Scatter diagrams / scatter graphs by "jsteingold" The L7 & L6 questions are some good scatter questions from KS3 Testbase. The written questions are for sale as a Premium resource from my TES shop. It is simply a list of 14 questions laid out on a sheet of A4 stickers so that students can choose which question to answer. The plenary is just a series of knowledge recall questions on a PowerPoint to do as a class Q&A.

Roll One Dice Die Random Investigation Theoretical Probability Experiment Resource Bundle Pack

All you need to have a lesson based on rolling one die and recording the outcomes. I’ve done this activity as part of circus of many activities in a lesson (Other circus activities listed on my TES Resources pages) but you can make a whole lesson out of this depending on what you are trying to achieve. Many different versions of the task sheets. Look at them all and decide on the best to suit your learners. Several different versions of Excel Spreadsheets to record the results on - including one which I can’t remember how it works (the RANDOM one). If you find it useful please leave a helpful review. Thanks

Quadrilaterals Rhombus Parallelogram Shape Identification Drawing Coordinates Exercise

There is always a confusion between quadrilaterals such as Parallelograms, Squares and Rhombuses. When drawn on grid paper they can get mixed up. Hence this activity. I've collected all the resources I've used for this so there is a good mix and you will be able to use/adapt most of this for your classes. Enjoy I've also added PDF versions of the SMART files (November 2016) If you like this then check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources Shop (Stewsterthebear) which includes many free and Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Stewsterthebear If you find this resource useful then please do leave a constructive review so that others can benefit from your experience.

Essential Maths Equipment Check List Start of Term New Class Poster Positive Reward Teacher

It's always worth setting your expectations of what the students should have. Obviously you could tweak these for your own learners but at least you've got a starting point here. It's a list of Essential maths equipment as a poster and then a check list (which doesn't quite match but would be easily amended to use with your form class. You may wish to adjust the poster so it says "essential" then "desirable" depending on your learners.

Angle Classification Type Bingo Obtuse Acute Reflex Straight Full Right Fun Game

(0)
Here is a fun differentiated engaging Bingo game where students are tested on whether they know their angle types such as no turn, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle and full turn. Students can choose their own nine numbers or the teacher can give out any of seventy-two randomised bingo cards. There are four sizes of bingo card depending on your preference and photocopy budget. Edit: After playing it in class it is better with 12 numbers per game if using the generated Bingo cards. They are now included as well - there’s 126 unique cards which make for a lot of games. These are laid out to print on to A4 sheets of 3x7=21 labels The slides provide six games of 24 angles (which is enough to provide a winner): The first three games support learners by specifically describing the angle type. The fourth game only provides the angle type and a generic description The fifth & sixth game (hardest) only provides the angle type.
