Division by three yes no game powerpoint

(0)
Simple PowerPoint (with 50 slides) asking whether numbers are divisible by three or not. Each time annimation then says "Yes" or "No". Use it after teaching it as a plenary or as a discussion as a starter. Pupils can write their answers (and then show the correction) on individual pupil whiteboards - either on own, in pairs or in tables of four. Pupils can use red, green, yellow (for don't know) cards to show their answer. For extra fun you can have them point "Usain Bolt Style" to the left or right of the room for their answer. For complete chaos you can have them run to the left of the right of the classroom for yes or no. The important thing is to get pupils to explain their answers to help everyone's understanding. You can quite easily and quickly add many more questions by simply duplicating a yes or no slide and adding in your changes. I would usually back this exercise up with a worksheet or textbook exercise which they can do independently afterwards. You can extend this by getting the pupils to make up their own slides (on their whiteboards) to test other pupils.

Indices Power Rules Card Sort Match Group Table Pair Magenta Activity Answers & Differentiated WS

An exercise for small groups (pairs or 4’s) to play designed to refresh, discover, reinforce, remind students of the indices rules. You’ll need to print enough resources for the number of groups you have in your class. There are only a few rules to learn but these cards have 20 rules in total as they have variants and extensions of the basic rules. There are 4 “baseplates”. Print the “baseplates” out on to A4 card. For ease I suggest 4 different colours of card. Print the answer card out on A4 card (2 sheets per page) or prepare to display on your projection screen. (I suggest printing several copies of the answers and so each table can self check as and when they finish. Print the “CardsRight” out onto A4 sticky labels (3 x 7 = 21 per sheet). Stick these labels onto blank playing cards (purchased from your chosen education supplier - I got mine from YPO). Alternatively print on to A4 card and cut out using a guillotine. Give each group a full set of 20 playing cards and a copy of each base plate. They then match the playing cards to the base plates. Alternatively, give each group one baseplate card at a time. However it doesn’t take them too long. This can be made significantly harder by printing the “CardsRight - Harder” as these don’t have which base plate they go on to. Afterwards there are a variety of graded worksheets to reinforce the above.

There are eight really good questions written by my students from their homework. I've chosen the best eight and graded them using "SkiRoute" Difficulty (See my other resources). The questions are laid out for 2x4 labels. Give a sheet of 8 questions to each table and they can choose which of the eight they wish to answer (self differentiation). Alternatively use the PowerPoint and display them - several versions on your preferred preference for displaying the answers. The Original Homework task sheet is also included. Enjoy.

Scattergraphs Maths Mastery Assessment Senteo SMART Response Quiz 11 Questions Review Plenary

(0)
Here are 11 questions on a SMART Notebook (also presented as a PDF if you don't have SMART) At the end of the topic one of my classes wrote questions to show what they understood about Scatter graphs. The SMART Notebook is the result of this. Also included is a worksheet to match the questions and a set of answers. My suggestions are: Give the worksheet out. Allow them some time to answer. Then give them the Senteo Handsets and get them to close their books. Answer the quiz with the handsets as individuals. Then reset the quiz and allow them to complete it again - either in table groups of four or with their books to help them. Finally get them to write explanations to each question in their book to prove/reinforce their understanding.

Factors of 36 Run Around Game Activity Whole Class Game Maths Mastery Magenta Principles

(0)
This is a great activity which I've used many times and always goes down well. It is the top two resources "Movement Game" You put 36 A4 posters around the room with the numbers 1 to 36 on them (laminated). Then the cards with the factors on are laminated and cut out. You then have a big stack of number cards which are all the factors of all the numbers up to 36. Share the cards out around your players. Give them some blue tack each and then they run around the room trying to get rid of their cards. For example: if they have a number one they can put it on any A4 number card. if they have a number two they can put it on any A4 number card which is a multiple of two .e.g. 2, 4, 6, etc. Obviously the number 36 appears only once so can only go in one place, numbers like 13 can go in a couple of places (13 and 26) so there are only two of them. However there are 36 ones and 18 twos. You need to ensure that they only put one of each number on each card. E.g. number six will need 1,2,3,6 but nothing else and no repeats. This provides a lot of fun. How the class act on this depends on how good your behaviour management is and how engaged they are to complete it successfully...You always get some joker who just slaps down their cards onto the first A4 they can. Suggestions are use some key students to become Quality Control experts or something like that. I've include some answers and some matching worksheets to back it all up. There is a lot of them but they all help reinforce the ideas . The BLOCKS worksheet is the one which I use the most! Maths Mastery says that they should be explain their choices and answer questions like "Why is 7 only on these cards?" Etc Hope you like it - I've used this loads of times as a starter, plenary or as the main of a lesson depending on the nature of the learners and where we are on the scheme.

Triangle Type Properties Classification Magenta Principles Maths Mastery Rap Battle Fun Activity Show the PPT. Have the discussion. Back it up with the the stickers the next lesson to get something in their books. Great for you to see what their level of understanding is. Lots of fun. Play some Eminem in the back ground and get them to rap their answers. Best answers so far ....I'd be a scalene triangle because I will have the greatest number of different weapons (i.e. angles) ....I'd be a very acute angled triangle because I could stand further away. I've thrown in somehelpful PowerPoints and word docs which will be needed to start the discussions.
Fruit Bowl Problem Calculating Probability Tree Diagram Without Replacement Circus Activity

Fruit Bowl Problem Calculating Probability Tree Diagram Without Replacement Circus Activity

(0)
Fun exercise for many age ranges. Will provide a good amount of discussion and is a nice next step after calculating probabilities to then progressing on to dependent events. Originally I used this as one short activity in a "Circus" of many activities which students go around the room playing on. (More of my Circus Activities are uploaded on my resources elsewhere) Print out the resources enough for each group (I split the class into pairs) but put the Tree Diagram on A3 for tables of 4 to complete. Each group needs a picture of a bowl on A4 and a selection of fruit (I printed out 9 pieces of fruit per A4 using "Windows Photo Printing"). Ideally laminate these for durability. Try to get the fruit on equal size cards so that they can be turned face down and chosen at random. First give them all the task sheet - you could always laminate these so that they use dry wipe markers so that they could play it twice. The task is pick a piece of fruit at random and then record it in the table and then calculate the probability of getting what's left. This is usually enough of an activity to do in a "Circus" however its a good intro for tree diagrams hence the work on tree diagrams as well. Note that the SMART Notebook has the fruit images already added in the attachments as a gallery file. The SMART Notebook file has a variety of different size tree diagrams - you could choose which students to give the smaller (easier to complete) to. I've included a few tree diagram templates for your use.

Huge bundle of resources on Ratio. The key resource here is the "Runaround Game" where you mark out ten sections of the classroom floor and then place ten different ratios in the ten sections.
