Step by Step checklist on how to balance any symbol equation. To support this checklist there is a worked example document with two examples of balancing equations using the steps from the checklist. Perfect for teaching KS3-KS5
Students take pride when they are given a responsible duty in the classroom (plus it also helps to reduce teacher workload!). Use the classroom duty list to select students every half term for the following roles
writing book monitor
textbook/ worksheet monitor
equipment monitor.
There is also space to add substitutes in case students are absent
Help students keep their workbooks to a high quality with this book quality checklist that students can stick in the inside cover, back cover or first page of their work books or it can be used as a classroom display. Please amend as necessary
