***If you have already bought my lessons on Averages, DO NOT BUY this resource! This is a combination of all four lessons.*** Video preview available below!
This resource combines all four 'averages' lessons into one short unit of work for KS2 or KS3 maths at a discounted price compared to buying them individually (£12 usually in total). Almost a 30% discount here!
The 50+ slide PowerPoint introduces each of the averages separately. Each section/lesson/part includes two teacher led examples (answers on PowerPoint), two activities that students can complete with help/guidance, a longer independent task and review.
All of the worksheets have been combined into a student work booklet to be completed over the series of lessons.
All answers appear on the PowerPoint or on the answer sheets.
Enjoy and, as always, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs.
After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order!
An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself!
The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!).
Enjoy ;-)

Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3.
This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too.
After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs.
Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals.
An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too.

Print in colour and laminate. Designed on A3, so they won't pixelate if printed in big!
Ideal for any primary classroom to visually show the three symbols.
Enjoy.
See a video preview of this resource below! Such GREAT value for money… you can use this for any year group, any topic or even any subject once downloaded! USE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
Remember the game where you’re shown a tray of objects - then they’re covered and you have to remember as many as you can… Well this it THAT game in literacy/teaching and learning terms!
Perfect for a starter or plenary activity, students are asked to memorise ten key words / terms. They then have 45 seconds to recall them independently. Perfect for embedding spelling / literacy in your lesson.
The PowerPoint has been set up to run itself, so no timers required!
All text, ideas are mine. Images are public domain and sounds are royalty free.

This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Range. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint introduces the range average then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through working out the mode. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs, these appear at the top of their handout.
After discovering what the range is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the range.
An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself!

The PowerPoint introduces perimeter to students before taking them through three sections (could be three separate lessons).
- working out perimeter of squares & rectangles
- working out perimeter of shapes without measurements displayed
- working out perimeter of shapes with part measurements displayed
I've included the student work booklet - this has also been separated into sheets if it makes it easier (not additional resources).
Differentiated and fully resourced short set of lessons for KS2 Maths or lower ability KS3/recap.
Answers pop up on the PowerPoint, apart from sheet 2 measurements as these depend on how you print the handout!
As always, your feedback would be appreciated. Everything is owned/created by me. One or two images have come from a royalty free stock photo site, no permission is required for these to be used in my resource.
Enjoy!!
This 10 slide PowerPoint is a range of SIMILAR starter or plenary activities. See the video preview below. Can be used OVER and OVER again, so well worth the dollar.
The first slides are grids with ANSWERS. Your students need to give the QUESTIONS. Great for questioning, great for differentiation/selecting specific students to answer.
There's a version of the same starter which involves splitting your group into two teams to make the activity even more engaging. The slides are fully interactive to allow you to change the numbers RED or BLUE depending on which team gets a point.
To ensure longevity of the resource, and the ability to use it LOADS of times with the SAME group, the starters have also been adapted to give questions for students to answer, just to shake things up a bit.
Enjoy!
At least four full lessons on averages.
Each lesson introduces the average concerned (mean, median, mode and range). Confidence is built through a guided activity before students have to complete an activity themselves.
Fully planned, resourced and differentiated.
Almost 30% discount here!
Enjoy.
