The worksheets are as described for the compass rose. Simply some questions on completing bearing directions on a full compass rose diagram. The middle two are for measuring bearings using a protractor. answers included. The Quickdraw Cards and Activity is the idea that someone in the classroom gives a bearing and the opponent gives the 180 degree reverse bearing back... One student stands up and says a bearing of another student relative to them (approximate). The other student then replies with the return bearing and if it is correct then points are awarded. You can play it by telling two students to stand and then they both have to try and say the bearing of the other student first. The cards (simply a list of bearings between 0 and 360 degrees) and PowerPoint (some practice questions to show them the idea) help with this.

The picture splat idea is where you print out the sheets onto A3 (& laminate) and put one on each table of four (or two) students. You then ask questions and the students slap down on the correct answer from the choice in front of them. E.g. "Which item on the Appropriate units splat card would be measured in kilometres?" Answer - the bridge. The PowerPoint gives you a lot of the questions and a framework for how to use the splat cards.

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

Currently we are all about achieving mastery in Maths at our school. An INSET course gave me some descriptors for the different levels. A moment of enlightenment :) gave me the idea of using Po the Kung Fu Panda as the ideal character as he is on his way to achieving Mastery like Grand Master Oogway. The Grade descriptors PPT give a poster to display for learners to understand where they are going. (The SMART notebook is just the creation file for the image in case you wish to change it slightly). I've used the SkiRoute differentiation for some time. The idea is that you grade questions or tasks in difficulty and then you either tell your learners which level to choose or allow them to choose themselves. They obviously aspire to be able to do the black route hardest questions and it gives them a sense of achievement when they can. Another idea I've been using is asking them to write their own questions which can be then used to give to the rest of the class. This seems to work quite well as an end of lesson plenary as it can give a really good indication of what level they are confident at. It also gives you a great opportunity to write a positive comment and then an action task challenge for the learner to respond to at the start of the next lesson. See attached sticker example.

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.

This is well worth the download purchase cost because you can keep your students occupied for hours on these! A maze worksheet where students have to find their way through a maze using a path of only square numbers. This is a top quality way to engage and amuse the students - particularly in afternoon lessons or at the end of the term as they seem to love it. Once they have got the idea with the smaller mazes they can attempt the bigger ones - this will keep them busy for hours! (well most of the lesson with any luck). There are three versions of the practice simpler versions and then one harder (04) and then the hardest (05). I'm putting up all my square numbers activities so check them out on TES shortly!

Pi Day March 14 Pie Number Theme Whole School Creative Activity Event Bumper Resource Bundle

Simple matching terms, definitions and diagrams Circle Properties activity. Young people love trading games…Share out to everyone the cards…they then roam the room trading one for one until they make up matching sets. Once they get a matching set they check with the adult who gives them a token if right. This set has 22 matching sets of 3 cards - a massive piece of work! You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, what the ability is of your users and how collaborative they can be. Then print out onto A4 white card & chop up. Share out most of the cards to your learners. Learners then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a matching stack you issue tokens and give them another few cards so that they can continue playing until you call time. You can give some element of control to this by first insisting that they first only trade with their table partners. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can then manage them trading with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. The tokens really do help to give the element of competition. Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room (although the tokens usually motivate most). Also included Circle or Not Activity Poster templates for students. Mr Wrong Mastery exercise - print onto A4 2x7 labels two match up definitions to key words work sheets Circle Area Circumference Glossary Knowledge Test MCQ Senteo SMART Response THREE Quizes . (Two versions of one quiz included)

A card sort activity to reinforce, recap, discover or revise finding bounds on rounded numbers. GCSE or KS3 from Y7 to Y11. Use the included images and display on the whiteboard when showing the student. Alternatively embed the templates into your interactive white board software and use them to create examples to display - PDF and SMART Notebook versions are included. First decide on how many groups of students you have. Print the cards out and cut them up. Print the placemats out (& possibly laminate). Then each group are given all 10 placemats and a set of cards. They then place them in the correct places on the cards (covering the yellow spaces). Use the answers to check them. I’ve printed the answers onto A5 card and held them together with treasury tags. Alternatively, print the placemats out on to A6 (1/4 of A4) and you now have ten bingo cards. However, this was only a secondary idea and some placemats have more blanks than others (Differentiate?!). Use the PowerPoint to display the answers. There are three sets of the answers (all randomised) so you can play it at least 3 times. I used an Excel spreadsheet to generate the questions and answers. It is included so you can create your own. There is also a matching worksheet which can be printed on to A5. Answers are included. & I’ve just added three extra matching WS (with answers). Print onto A5. WS3 is easiest- WS1 is hardest.

The PowerPoint has 35 slides with each detailing a children's party game. You'll need to prepare the resources for each one (some don't need any). What it gives you is 35 great tried and tested ideas of what has worked for me so you won't have to do the thinking. I'd like to think the games are obvious but ....Message me if you can't work out what the game is (but only after you've asked a few of your colleagues or looked it up on the Web!) I've found that if you choose a few games to get warmed up. then you can flick through the PPT and see what the children want to do next. Do the opposite and Kims Game are included as they needed a PowerPoint too. Have fun :)!

You are on a sinking ship and you have to choose three people from the list of 10 people to save. You initially are told their key descriptor e.g. "Ex Heroin Addict" so many students will choose not to take this person. Later you find out that he/she is a survival expert as well so choices will change. I've used this with several Y8 classes and several Y7 classes. You need to think carefully about the titles of the people to make them appropriate to your classes. You can easily change the resources. Get the students in small groups all huddled around one sheet of A3 which you've printed the table onto. After you give them another fact about a person get them to write down on the table sheet who they want to save. Last time I did this I kept a record myself on an Excel Spreadsheet which meant we could keep the class trends on the IWB. I've enjoyed using this so much as the classes really get into it - even last lesson on a Friday. I've been thinking that I could use it again (after ammending the roles) with a group (even if they've already had it) if Mr Ofsted arrived on a day when PHSE was timetabled! There's also a dilemmas Senteo SMART Response thrown in which is good for discussions.

"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)

26 different activities 41 files in total to help your learners can master what a triangle is. WhatIsATriangle2x7Label; WriteMrWrongTrianglesLabel2x7; WriteKillerQuestionLabel2x7 = Get students to write their own questions to help ID, address misconceptions and to assess their understanding WhatMakesATriangle2x7Label = Leads to discussion on the Triangle Inequality Law; WallGameCards = Snatch Match. Print, cut out and laminate. Blue tack them to your wall. Students stand a metre away in teams so that they compete against one person each. You (or a clever student or a TA) asks questions and the students compete to grab the card with the answer. UnhideTrianglesIDExercise = use the SMART Board IWB to unhide the triangle images slowly. Students tell you the triangle type asap. You challenge them on explain why. TriangleNamesPoster, TriangleNamesList, TriangleTypePropertyMatrixTable = help sheets, posters TrianglesSortingTableWS = Very challenging WS. Do as a collaborative table exercise or for individuals as homework. This is not my resource but I've adapted it and given you the answers. TrianglesSimpleFactsheet = I've adapted this from some one else to add a bit more to it. I always give it out to the students and then discuss the properties and the markings or hatch marks which can go on each type. Triangles1SenteoType ID = Five Question Senteo SMART Response Assessment Quiz TriangleNamesCardsLabel2x7 = Print on to cards and then cut out. Give every table a pack and get them to sort/classify them. Give each student a card and then play Who Am I? The numbers indicate my subjective judgement on how hard they are to classify. Use FourWhoAmIQuestions to help with this. TriangleFight = A Magenta Principles activity which is great as a lesson ender - particularly when waiting for the bell. The stickers back it up in the student exercise books. MyTriangleNotationLessonForPythagorasSenteo = Resource to help prepare for Pythagoras teaching MyDrawOnIsometricWS = This is good as a starter for recapping before starting a topic. DominoCardsHarder and 4SetsDominosCards = The original is really hard. I then split them into four card sets which makes each set much easier. Identify the triangles from their properties on the cards. 7x3LabelTriangle names = is just a set of three differentiated versions where the students identify and classify mixed triangles which you'll need to print out. Following are hopefully obvious from names: MyIdentifyTrianglePPT23Q's MyFiveTrianglesDiagramsWithMarkingsForTypeID MyFlowDiagramTask ManyTrianglesSMARTForID FiveTriangleTypes-One per Page FiveTriangleTypesOnA4 31TrianglePropertiesQuestionsCards

20 3D shapes have been drawn. For each shape there are six matching cards: Plan View, Side Elevation, Front Elevation, Net, Number of Faces, Edges & Vertices. Students roam the room in pairs trying to collect a matching set of cards. Alternatively print out on smaller cards and give each table group a set to sort out. Please see my other similar resources if you like this.

This is an absolutely quality resource which I'm really chuffed with. It totally ticks loads of boxes for what is expected in our lessons - group work, discussion, mastery, self choice, differentiated, etc. It uses elements of Connect, Arrange, Classify, Reduce and Act it Out of the Magenta Principles. Here are 21 statements about Pythagoras which are either TRUE, FALSE or SOMETIMES TRUE . They are appropriate for any students who have learnt how to do long side, then short side questions and mixed combination two-step questions. The activity is designed to be a MATHS MASTERY activity where they consolidate their learning and prove that they understand and can explain their understanding. The statements are graded in difficulty using "SkiRouteCodes" from Green, Blue, Red and Black. Students can choose which grade question to answer themselves or you could suggest their choices. The grades are slightly subjective (I wrote 21 out questions and then tried to sort them into the four grades). I have written a set of suggested solutions. Do let me know if I have made any errors with these. You will note that I set work out to print onto label stickers. This saves the students time and helps keep the exercise books tidier. There is a header label, then the questions on labels and a set of solutions. I've also included the SkiRoute choices labels. There is also another copy of the Questions not on stickers to make it easier for you to adapt them. I have also added in a copy of the questions ready for printing onto card and cutting up. You would then give the whole set out to a small group who would use the TRUEFALSEHEADER to catagorise all the cards. One of the Magenta Principles is to reduce so there is an activity to reduce the pythag definition to as few words as possible. Another one of the Magenta Principles is to "Act it Out" so you will find a task sticker for that along with a Storyboard template. To show "Maths Mastery" students need to be able to explain what they do. The last three resources are a series of questions on sticky labels. Students can choose (self-differentiate) which questions to answer. The LO label is also there to go above the sticker. A set of the questions just as a worksheet is also included. No answers are included as it's difficult to write solutions for these. I would normally set these as the last activity of the lesson and then I would mark them after the lesson. Next lesson they could then start with responding to what improvement feedback I gave them. The True False cards also have a PowerPoint presentation which is good to display and discuss each one in turn with the group.
