Classroom management resource / display which was created to help children think about how much effort they are putting into their learning. They must move their name-tag on the thermometer according to how much effort they are putting in. It fits in well with Growth Mindset.
It can be used in a few ways.
Self Reflection: At the end of or during a lesson the children place their name-tag onto the effortometer depending on how much effort they think they are putting in.
Teachers Assessment: During the lesson the teacher can move names around depending on how they are working. I sometimes give a reward token (see our store) if a child reaches the top of the scale.
This has made a huge difference in my class as children are starting to become aware of what they are capable of. I hope it does the same for you!
This maths pack has 20 differentiated task cards each with a problem involving estimation in outdoors. It will get your class outside applying and improving their estimation and problem solving skills.
Along with each card there is a clue card in order to support those children that need a helping hand.
How I used them: After having an initial lesson on what estimation is and going through a few basic problems I stuck the cards up in appropriate places outside. In the pairs the children went around the school grounds finding the cards and solving the problems. My class got through about 4 problems each per lesson.
This is a great activity to challenge your class and get them enjoying maths!
Contents:
20 x differentiated task cards
20 x clue cards
4 x answer sheets (for the children to record their answers on)

Group roles badges and plates that allow you to easily structure cooperative learning / group work so that each child has a specific responsibility that is crucial to their success. This pack includes role plates for the tables as well as badges that they can wear around their neck while taking part in the group work both with descriptions of what the role duties are.
The five roles are:
- Agent Manager
- Agent Time Manager
- Agent Volume
- Agent Materials Manager
- Agent Encourager
When children have a specific role that they are responsible for they seem to be much more focused and more involved in their learning. I normally change the roles each time they do group work so that every child experiences each role.

- 5 x job plates with descriptions
- 5 x double sided job badges with descriptions
