All the key words you need for number properties lessons at KS3. Any of these words can be printed out and laminated on A5 size cards for the "SNATCH MATCH" game. This is where the words are blu tacked to the wall and students stand a metre away. Teacher (or a TA or competent pupil) asks questions where the answer is one of the snatch match cards. The students are usually in two teams facing the wall. Two students at a time have the opportunity to snatch the right card. Loads of fun!

Loads of resources to help in the classroom GOGO = Pupils write three and then go around and find three more Consensus Place mat = Table of four each write their answers around the outside in their space and then agree on a common answer Question Pyramid - Template to help you plan your questions so that they satisfy Blooms Taxonomy and have a mix of higher and lower order questions. One picture starter to use for this and two prompt cards which ask students to give evidence. Reflection pie can be used where the group have to agree on how much of the activity they participated in and show it on a pie chart. Put it on A3 and then get them to draw a pie chart which they all agree on. Target Achieved label can help improve effort Yes No cards can be used by individuals to give answers or to display when they are stuck. Posters go on wall if you are having them run left or right for Yes or No. The dice number cards you make up and give one to each student on a table (up to six). You can then ask all the ones to give an answer etc.

Big Number Multiplication = 10 questions like 13 x 7 followed by the answers so you can set it as a quiz. Multiply up to 12 x 24 = same as above - different version. Extra Q's Multiply larger than 12 times tables WS = 30 question WS larger Multiplications = 40 Questions - Note answers are hidden and will appear when you change the font colour from white.

I've often needed to display random numbers on the board so have created some powerpoints to do this. there is one which contains any of the first 100. The other two contain just up to 36 which is useful for learning about factors, etc. I have printed out the first 100 numbers on A4 before and then given each student one of the sheets to decorate and make a poster about that number as a review after studying number properties. To help them do this there are mix of help info sheets. There is also a worksheet of discussing the first 20 numbers and their properties.

Really fun lesson which the students enjoyed. Used in several different ways with different ages but the basic principle is the same...Get the the students sat in groups of two or four. Give them a set of cards with different sized angles on (between 0 and 360 degrees). Then ask them to quickly grab and show a set of cards which satisfy the criteria displayed on the PowerPoint. E.g. "Give me a Right angle crew" needs two or more angles which add up to 90 degrees. Winning tables (first or most creative) wins points. At some point in the lesson tell them to all grab one card and then put away the rest. Then get them all up and get them to make up crews with anyone in the room. Loads of fun !!! Note that Crews can be any size.. i.e. you can have a Crew of one angle or a Crew made up of six angles etc. The Crew idea seemed to go down really well with the students. I also downloaded some music clips from the cartoon to add a bit more fun to the lesson. I hand wrote the angles onto small playing card sized cards. Each table needs about 12 or so cards depending on what questions you ask. This can be adapted for simple stuff like right angle crews and straight crews or made more difficult like 360 degrees. I allowed one class to write on blank cards which added more and as a result of this I had a table who started writing negative number angles on which I thought was pretty creative. The two worksheets can be used to back it up afterwards so that there is something in their exercise book to consolidate the ideas. They are in Word rather than PDF so you can easily adapt them for your learners.

Golden nugget is a plenary review activity - great as when you mark the books you immediately have something to feedback on for them to respond to at the start of the next lesson. Alien Sticker is like Golden nugget - however - three versions. You see there is a colour version as I print onto labels in colour first and then I can put the questions on using the B&W printer. you could easily put the Alien images on the three WS. Domino Cards - two versions - for angle sums - pretty simple but ticks the box for Magenta Principles/Mastery. I usually back it up with a written version of the cards or "what have you learnt task" - see above The note fact sheet is to save them copying into their books The lesson plan doesn't quite fit all of these resources but I've thrown it in for free The true false questions are great for Mastery, Magenta Principles and Discussion. You could display on the board and discuss as a class or give out as cards to discuss in pairs or groups. I would usually back this up into their books with - "Choose one to now describe and explain in detail" The LO labels are all the ones I used for this topic. Don't know how useful they are to you but I've thrown them in.

Start of year give them the booklet. Go through it using the intro presentation. Put a sticker in front of their books Get them to discuss strategies and the "Discussion Cards" give them prompts for how to solve problems - intention is from this THEY come up with how to solve problems (you can then give out the guides afterwards) The keywords are just something I found on the WWW. Sad to happy is a discussion exercise to get students to think about how to get "unstuck" Couple other resources included. Hope it helps!

I've searched my hard drive for all Word docs made by me with the term "Keyword" Here theya re. I've opened them all and there's some really useful stuff in there - hopefully most are obvious from their file name but you will also find some gems in there as well. What I've started doing recently is always putting the keywords for that lesson on an A3 poster so that if the children want to use them they can look up to get the spellings right. Hope you find these useful ....I have found them to be.
