This has been really useful this - especially with a class who have a lot of students arriving late. I decide on my starter activity and take a "Snip" of it using the Windows Snipping Tool and then copy and paste the "Capture" onto this PowerPoint. Then as the students arrive give them them a copy of the starter as you greet them and have this PowerPoint showing on the presentation screen as a reminder. Once you've used a few times the students soon learn and follow the routine. Make the task long enough that no one finishes before the last person arrives and make sure it easy enough that they can all make a start on it.

Probability Game Investigation Problem Solving Discussion Probability Space Diagram Experiment

Probability Game Investigation Problem Solving Discussion Probability Space Diagram Experiment

The colour sheet prints out on A4 (card and laminate if you can). Get the sheets to each table of four and give them the apparatus (counters, dice, coins) and ask them to choose which game they think they want to play (and which game they would like to be the host of). I tried it without giving them any lessons on probability space diagrams before hand as I gave it as a problem solving lesson for them to come up with ways of finding all the outcomes themselves. Thanks to helbel11 for this. She has got a version of it up on TES which I like and it gave me the idea...It's very good. However, after I'd downloaded it I decided to make it a little easier for one of my classes. Hence the attached which has simpler experiments for the students to investigate.

Timer Clock Face Question Lesson Speed Increase Pace Activity Template Revision Planner

Timer Clock Face Question Lesson Speed Increase Pace Activity Template Revision Planner

(0)
This is a series of templates for using to promote pace in lessons when students are working independently (or perhaps in pairs). Most exam questions are roughly 1 mark per minute so students need to increase their pace if they are to complete their papers. The idea is that you give them a set amount of time to do each question and then through out you give them reminders of the time elapsed. The template encourages them to work against the clock to complete the questions and so up their pace. If you see the MS Publisher file for the example which is four questions to be completed in eight minutes. The MS PowerPoint contains SEVEN templates which you can print out and use. Simply hand write the questions around the clock face and then write on the number of minutes for each one. There are two pages of usage notes included on the PowerPoint to help you implement the resource in your lessons. It's a great idea which I saw on TES resources (MrsMorgan1) and so thank you to her for sharing. I've adapted it for my learners. This is what my colleague said "My class really took to it and I was pleased with how eager they were to finish" 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.

Golden Pass Reward Commendation Fun Activity Engagement Treat Special Random Name Chooser

Golden Pass Reward Commendation Fun Activity Engagement Treat Special Random Name Chooser

(0)
I've used random name choosers (RNC) for some time. SMART Notebook has a good one (It's a random word generator - you just put in the names of the students in the class). I came up with this idea after a student said "Can I pass the question?" and I replied "Not unless you have a pass card!" He then drew a pass card on his whiteboard and tried to pass it again! What we have are a variety of pass cards produced. The rules were written down for me to make sure I stuck to them and for consistency. Basically students can earn pass cards which then excuse them from answering questions when the random name chooser selects them. There is probably no educational value in doing this - it's just fun and it's very engaging for them. It's also quite funny when the class all pass all their questions to the class clown to answer (watch out for bullying though!) Students can earn pass cards for anything which you want to reward. The other way of doing this came from an INSET session where the facilitator asked us all to look under our seats for a prize. 200 teachers all looked under the seats. We all laughed (Not) as he said there was nothing to find there but he proved the point about the engagement of coming in to the lesson and seeing if you had a pass card! Hence the wallet size pass cards are simply blu tacked to the underside of a seat. You can choose (at random) whose seat to stick it under or you could just put it under someone you want to get involved more (as they will become the class center of attraction when they are picked by the RNC). I had students coming in asap during break to see if they had a pass card under the seat! I'd like to use it again however the head in my current school says that the school reward systems are to be used and these cards add an additional layer to the systems. I think that they can supplement the school systems and you can tailor them so that they fit within the school systems.

see my other resources on Ski Route Differentiation. This set of posters has been printed on to Green, Blue, red and White card and then laminated (as A4). The laminates have been placed on one of the notice boards and next to are poly pockets attached. Each lesson I can go and drop the four different ability tasks (as worksheets) into the poly pockets and then the students can choose the task they want to do.
