Three versions depending on whether you have a colour printer or not (I use the school colour printer to print the aliens onto the stickers and then bring them home and as and when I think of the questions I B&W print the questions on. If you have a colour laser then just print direct on the the "Colour" sticker. Also included a set of Exit Tickets for a lesson.

Loads of resources to help in the classroom GOGO = Pupils write three and then go around and find three more Consensus Place mat = Table of four each write their answers around the outside in their space and then agree on a common answer Question Pyramid - Template to help you plan your questions so that they satisfy Blooms Taxonomy and have a mix of higher and lower order questions. One picture starter to use for this and two prompt cards which ask students to give evidence. Reflection pie can be used where the group have to agree on how much of the activity they participated in and show it on a pie chart. Put it on A3 and then get them to draw a pie chart which they all agree on. Target Achieved label can help improve effort Yes No cards can be used by individuals to give answers or to display when they are stuck. Posters go on wall if you are having them run left or right for Yes or No. The dice number cards you make up and give one to each student on a table (up to six). You can then ask all the ones to give an answer etc.

Big Number Multiplication = 10 questions like 13 x 7 followed by the answers so you can set it as a quiz. Multiply up to 12 x 24 = same as above - different version. Extra Q's Multiply larger than 12 times tables WS = 30 question WS larger Multiplications = 40 Questions - Note answers are hidden and will appear when you change the font colour from white.

Collecting Like Terms Match Pairs Game. Notebook = find the matching simplified expressions by unhiding the expressions or the simplifications. Students can come out and unhide two. If they match they get another go. Good for memory as well as improving Maths skills Algebra Match Expressions Yes No Game.pptx is a simple game where each slide shows a pair of expressions. They either match or don't. Students indicate "Yes" or "No". They seem to love this - especially if you make it so they run to the left of the room for yes or run to the right for no. To add challenge get them to indicate yes or no on their whiteboards and then justify their answer. Or show the slide and then say "Think" and only allow them to hold up a yes or no card when you say "Show". This avoids them just copying their friends. Algebra Match Race Game is simply share out the cards and then show the slides on the PPT. There should be five cards which match each slide. First student to hand it in wins. The A4 answer sheet shows what the right answers will be. There is a matching "SuperChallenge" worksheet to use for this (with answers). This sheet is quite hard to complete. Simplifying Algebraic Expressions35Q's.pptx is the answers for a matching worksheet. Simplification&Expansion.PPTX is the answers for a matching worksheet. There are two versions of the WS. Original is all on one sheet of A4. The newer version has each section on a different page which is better if they are writing into their books rather than writing on the whole A4 sheet.

This was created to exemplify how showing working and being able to explain every step was essential. The SMART Notebook was used to create the images. They are then on PPT as an easy way to you to present. The questions are laid out on A4 to print on to stickers. Stickers are useful because it saves times in the classroom (something which observers have noted in the past). Also I like stickers because I can quickly allocate the best question for individuals. Also after the lesson you can easily set another question to an individual by giving them the next sticker in the set. The answers are included and the task sheet gives them the instructions. See my other resources for the guides on how to complete these problems. The SMART resources is included so you can easily modify the original questions. Also get the pupils to present on A4, scan in all the solutions and then display on the IWB and get them to critique their solutions - ticks a lot of boxes for discussion, mastery, etc

I've often needed to display random numbers on the board so have created some powerpoints to do this. there is one which contains any of the first 100. The other two contain just up to 36 which is useful for learning about factors, etc. I have printed out the first 100 numbers on A4 before and then given each student one of the sheets to decorate and make a poster about that number as a review after studying number properties. To help them do this there are mix of help info sheets. There is also a worksheet of discussing the first 20 numbers and their properties.

I saw an example of a square with a couple of lines drawn on it. A couple of angles had been labelled with sizes and then the students had to find the missing angles. I got a bit carried away with creating more of these to use in my Maths Problem Solving lessons. There is basically 5 different questions -each harder than the last. Four of the questions are also produced on a one sheet of A4 to make a homework sheet. The original SMART Notebook which I used to create the diagrams is included so that you can adapt and change to suit your own learners. You can use this in many ways.... The SMART could be used to "teach" it first - it has a mix of other questions to build it up The sheets can be printed onto A3 and the students work collaboratively around the tables in groups. The sheets can be printed onto A5 or A6 to stick in their books and do solo. The sheets an be printed on to A4 then give to individuals to do. Afterwards scan them in and get them to go through and critique their solutions on the IWB - great for Maths mastery and Collaboration. Etc... The "create your own problem" has been praised for being able to assess the students understanding as what they can do is one thing but what they are confident at creating is often a good indicator of their progress. There is an error on one of the sheets. I've corrected the answer sheet to fix it.

Algebra Linear Graphs Dancing Aerobics Super Fun Activity

"When the equation appears, make the shape of the graph with your arms, body and or legs and if the graph is raised up (translation) then jump up. If it is a translation down then crouch down." There are three versions of the PPT with different ways of presenting the graphs. This is not my original idea. I first saw it done with quadratic and other curved graphs. I just adapted the idea to make resources to only show linear graphs. You'll find the quadratic graph dancing routine on another contributors resources. This is a huge amount of fun for the class. You can lead them from the front at first, but very soon they can lead and even choreograph their own routines.. Hence the story board for them to plan their routines. Then get them to choose their own music and video their routines. Awesome! (Does fill up a lot of time though which is rarely justified)

Angle Crews Fun Angle Rules Collaborative Lesson Maths Mastery Cartoon Engaging

Really fun lesson which the students enjoyed. Used in several different ways with different ages but the basic principle is the same...Get the the students sat in groups of two or four. Give them a set of cards with different sized angles on (between 0 and 360 degrees). Then ask them to quickly grab and show a set of cards which satisfy the criteria displayed on the PowerPoint. E.g. "Give me a Right angle crew" needs two or more angles which add up to 90 degrees. Winning tables (first or most creative) wins points. At some point in the lesson tell them to all grab one card and then put away the rest. Then get them all up and get them to make up crews with anyone in the room. Loads of fun !!! Note that Crews can be any size.. i.e. you can have a Crew of one angle or a Crew made up of six angles etc. The Crew idea seemed to go down really well with the students. I also downloaded some music clips from the cartoon to add a bit more fun to the lesson. I hand wrote the angles onto small playing card sized cards. Each table needs about 12 or so cards depending on what questions you ask. This can be adapted for simple stuff like right angle crews and straight crews or made more difficult like 360 degrees. I allowed one class to write on blank cards which added more and as a result of this I had a table who started writing negative number angles on which I thought was pretty creative. The two worksheets can be used to back it up afterwards so that there is something in their exercise book to consolidate the ideas. They are in Word rather than PDF so you can easily adapt them for your learners.
