A matching activity that can be used as a starter, plenary or lesson activity. Learners match the questions on adding/subtracting fractions using common denominators to the correct answers
Fun way of assessing learners ability to identify the properties of 2D shapes. Learners choose 9 numbers from a grid and then answer the questions displayed on screen. Learners then mark off their bingo card. Winner is the person who gets a full house. I usually team this up with mini whiteboards so I can see who is getting the questions right. Useful starter or plenary.

Unlock the code to escape the room by answering sequences questions. I use this with a set of combination locks I bought cheap in a poundshop. I set the locks to open on a set combination which can only be got by answering the questions. The quickest team to get the combination win. This activity generates great fun in class and is worth the investment in a set of cheap combi locks. Answer sheet included.
Fun with this Winter Olympics-themed Pythagoras worksheet. This Pythagoras worksheet is designed to consolidate your students’ learning on finding missing lengths using Pythagoras’ Theorem.

A matching card activity to reinforce that probability ranges from 0 to 1. Learners have to match color spinners to the correct answer card. For example a spinner may have 2 red slices out of 5 slices and learners will have to find a card that says 0.4 chance of landing on red
I use it as a paired activity, though could be individual, it gets learners writing probability as fractions and then changing them to decimals, also reinforces that the chance of something happening only ranges from 0 to 1.
