If you too want to make sure that your class have an opportunity to discuss and reflect on today outcome then my 12 questions on a worksheet may get you started. It's done as a worksheet but you could easily put the questions into a PowerPoint and ask them as a group. Alternatively print the questions on to separate sheets and give each group a different question to answer. I'll use it to get the students doing some research on today's result. There is a question about my local area "Northumberland" which you can change to your local authority. *******If you like this and find it useful then please leave me some positive feedback and do check out my TES Resources shop which includes many premium resources which may help save you time and give you ideas.

This is a really simple idea. Give out to each student a grid. The grid contains 3 rows of two. They then write six facts or points about a topic in the six boxes. Then they cut out the boxes (but only cut on the dotted lines) so that they create THREE domino cards. Each of the three domino cards now has two facts - one on either side of the bold line. The student now arranges the three dominoes in to a line (or even a triangle) and then annotates the link or connection between the two facts either side of the connection. E.g. They have written down six facts about angles: **4 angles in a square **angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees **angles are measured in degrees ** right angles are 90 degrees **360 degrees in a full circle **triangle angles add up to 180 degrees You can see that if they place the fact '4 angles in a square' next to '360 degrees in a full circle' they can annotate the link by saying that 4 x 90 degrees is 360 degrees. You will notice that in the file I have produced tables with 3, 4, 5 and 6 dominoes in. I will give the more able students the greater challenge of having to first recall more facts and then make more links. My colleague has used this successfully however she wrote some facts on some of the dominoes first to get some students started. I'm thinking now that I may first use this activity by making up a set of cards for the class to see how to do it first in their groups. I've just made this ready for a History lesson on Victorian Factory conditions and you will see this in the files as well. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so I'm interested in any feedback.

This is just a picture of a brain on A4. You write the topic title or the question on the left and then print out. (You could duplicate the page and then print both onto A4 so each is A5). Each student then fills it with what they know. e.g. **At the start of a lesson to recall everything they remember from yesterday, etc. **During the lesson to summarize or capture all the key information from e.g. a presentation or fact sheet. **At the end of the lesson to recap everything they've learnt. I've edited the picture of the brain to make it easier to write on with less bits to fill in. The student's can order their writing around the brain in any order they choose. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so interested in any feedback.

Twenty Ideas for Improving the Progress of Pupil Premium Disadvantaged students I’m not an academic and many of these below are not based on verifiable evidence. However, they seem to work for me. Even if they don’t work at least you can show that you are doing something. If you like these and find these useful then please leave a positive and useful review. Better still put your ideas in the review and I'll add them in the update! This resource will stay as free to download but do check out my shop and my other Premium TES resources where I'm sure you'll find something to help you and save you time.

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.

My colleague and I came up with these targets to use for our Y5 to Y8 Maths end of year reports where we have to give each and every student one single Maths specific target to work on. We will probably add some more when we start the reports but for now we had to get a starting point. These may be a good starter for anyone else who is having to do this. There are only nine statements (there are eleven but two are gender specific) but we think they should pretty much cover everything. An example is "Recall knowledge and apply this to solve problems." If you like this resource and find it useful then please leave a positive review. Many thanks.

Here are two sets of domino loop cards. You can use them for starters and then back them up with the matching worksheet or use as a plenary and then use the matching worksheet as the next days starter. You print them onto A4 card and cut them out. Then shuffle and give a set to your students. They have to rearrange the cards into a line order by matching the question to the answer. They are all questions like "The probability of getting a six on a fair die is..." The first set has 22 cards and the second (which is longer to complete and the questions are harder as well) has 34 questions. Afterwards (I like to get something into the student exercise books) there are matching worksheets where some of the questions have to be reworked out and written onto the sheets before the sheet is stuck in. There are two versions of each worksheet (One has more answers to put in so you can give to your quicker students). All in you are getting two sets of domino cards, each with two matching worksheets. Solutions to the domino cards and the worksheets are included! You could easily modify each of these card sets and WS to reduce the questions down to less for your lower/slower students. If you like and find it useful then please leave a positive review. Thank you.

Probability Counters in a bag starter plenary Maths mastery Explanation question

These aren't my original questions but I've put them on handy small sticker sizes which makes it easier to administer! Enjoy

All you would need for a probability lesson on coins. Some of these activities have been done as part of a circus of many activities where the students move around every 10 minutes or so however you can certainly build a lesson around these activities. Many more Circus Probability activities are listed on my TES Resource pages. If you like and find useful the please leave a positive review. Thank you.

"The three ways to estimate probability are" worksheet first describes the three ways to estimate probability an d then asks 20 questions where the students have to identify the best way to estimate the probability. Two versions of the WS available - one is better if you don't like the students copying out and prefer them to stick in sheets.
