A complete lesson plan on Mode, Median and Range. The lesson begins with a prior knowledge check, then goes through each skill, with complete example-problem pairs (pupils are shown an example and complete a question themselves). After these examples there are questions on each skill, with answers provided. These start with some minimally different questions, allowing pupils to focus on what is changing from one question to the next - the idea being to draw attention to the changes and hopefully predict the next answer. These are followed by some standard skill questions, and then a reasoning section. The answers for the minimally different questions will appear before going to the next slide (which will also display the standard questions, alongside the reasoning questions) , so you may have pupils self assess these before moving on to the reasoning questions. After the practice for the median is completed there is an Always, Sometimes, Never task, followed by a mixed exercise for further practice. Again, answers are provided.

Collection of my various bingo activities on solving linear equations. These bingo games are always popular have regularly engaged my pupils in lessons, and they have often requested that we do them again. Pupils draw a 3 x 3 grid in their book and fill it with a selection of the bingo question answers. Can play for both a line and a full house to extend the game or keep pupils interested if their questions aren't coming up often. There is an activity on one step equations, two step (including fractions), equations involving brackets and equations with unknowns on both sides. Can easily be reused by changing the order of the slides.

Two bingo activities based on addition and subtraction. These bingo games are always popular and have regularly engaged my pupils in lessons, and they have often requested that we do them again. Pupils can either draw a 3 x 3 grid in their book, or you can print off some of the blank grids at the start if the powerpoints. They then fill their grid with a selection of the bingo question answers. Can play for both a line and a full house to extend the game or keep pupils interested if their questions aren't coming up often.

Four lesson starters, easily editable, practicing addition and subtraction (two each). Just play the slideshow as pupils enter and it will continue on a loop. Two squares of a 4 x 4 grid will be revealed on each slide, showing a question. Pupils have to draw the grid and complete it with the correct answers in each square. These resources engage pupils as they need to pay careful attention to see which answer goes where, and so they are settled, ready for the lesson ahead - this activity is ideal for low ability pupils as it gives them an activity they can access right at the start of the lesson. Answers are included in a separate document.

Fun and engaging blockbusters activity for the classroom based on the classic TV show. This particular activity is designed to help pupils consolidate their written division skills. Split the class into two teams and assign each one to be either blue or white. Each team takes turns to choose a letter that will then reveal a question. If they get the question right make the tile their colour by clicking the blue or white boxes on each tile. The blue team win if they make a connected row across the screen, and the white team win if they make one going down. Because the blue team have another tile to complete, they should go first.

Engaging bingo activity based on division. Bingo is always popular with pupils and I have regularly used them in my lessons - my students have often requested them, or that we do them again after the first go. Pupils can either draw a 3 x 3 grid in their book, or you can print off some of the blank grids at the start of the powerpoint. They then fill their grid with a selection of the bingo question answers. Can play for both a line and a full house to extend the game or keep pupils interested if their questions aren't coming up often. For replayability, the slide questions can be rearranged so they come up in a different order.

Differentiated written addition worksheet designed for KS2 or low attaining KS3 pupils. The questions come in three levels - Red (plain addition building up to carrying), Amber (Carrying leading up to pupils setting up the columns themselves) and Green (Pupils set up the columns, includes some decimal addition). There is also an extra GCSE style problem solving functional maths question to challenge the higher attaining pupils.

Engaging multiplication activity sheet that is ideal as either consolidation for numeracy skills or as cover work. Pupils must answer the questions and shade out the answers in the grid above. When they have finished they should reveal the number 105.

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers. Pupils take it in turns to try and answer a question, and are peer assessed by the other team. If they get it correct they can put their initials over the space, and the goal is to get four squares in a row. The pupils could also used colour post it's or counters.

Treasure Hunt activity designed for pupils to practice written multiplication up to 3 digits by 2 digits. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards). When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made. Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.

Fun and engaging Connect 4 game for practising addition and subtraction. Pupils pair up (or could be played with two pairs against each other) and take it in turns to answer a question, if they get the answer correct (and the other pupil(s) agrees) they write their initials over the square with a whiteboard marker. You could also use post-its or counters for this. First pupil (or pair) to get a line of 4 correct answers wins!

Three times tables bingo games based in Powerpoint. Pupils pick 9 numbers out of the possible answers and place them in a 3 x 3 grid - these can either be drawn by the pupils themselves or some blank ones are provided on the first slide. First one includes only 1-5 times tables, the second has various questions from the 2-8 and the third contains questions from the 2 to 10 times tables. Can easily be reused just by swapping the order of the slides in the presentation.

A differentiated worksheet for place value, broken into three sections. In the red section pupils need to complete a table by either converting the given number into words or words into figures. In the amber section pupils need to write down the value of an underlined digit. The green section contains some GCSE style questions based around digits on cards.

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers.

Whole class activity which covers division. This activity is excellent for differentiation as it allows for pupils to choose their own level of question and progress to the next difficulty at their own speed. It also encourages pupils to work together independently to solve their difficulties instead of instantly relying on the teacher. I have used it many times with my classes and it has proved to be a highly engaging resource for pupils. Instructions: - Print off the card sets on red, amber and green card respectively and place each set of cards somewhere in the room (keeping the same colours together). - All pupils start on a red card. - Pupils attempt the question on their card writing their answer and their initials on the back. - Pupils fetch another card and repeat. - If pupils pick a card that has been completed, they check the answer. If they come to the same answer they add their initials to the back. If they disagree they find the original pupil and discuss the question together. - Pupils move up to the next level of difficulty when they feel they are ready. Red Cards: Division with no carrying remainders required Amber Cards: Division, answers are whole numbers, involves carrying remainders. Green Cards: Division, decimal answers.

Activity where pupils in the class are dealt 2-3 cards each. One pupil has the Start card and reads out an equation. The pupil with the answer on their card reads out the answer and the next equation. This continues round the class until it reaches the pupil with the End card. There are 64 cards, so each pupil will have to stay focused to listen for the equation to which they have the answers, and they will each get a couple of turns at least so they can't disengage after answering one question. Suggested use: a starter/plenary to consolidate learning early on when studying equations. PDF version now included!
