Starter activity - “How many reds?” an experiment in predicting. Object being that students understand that more trials, means the relative frequency is closer to theoretical probability
Objectives:
Estimate probabilities on experimental data.
Use relative frequency as an estimate of probability.

Lesson objectives to solve equations with unknowns on both sides, including equations with brackets.
Includes; teachers’ notes on using interactive elements, step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
The big idea is to rewrite both sides of the equation to eliminate like terms. Hence the phrase “Same Value, Looks Different”. It uses money to show that you can can have the same value, but in different ways. Hence, you can rewrite any equation in any way as long as you do not change the value.

A “How to Find” card sort.
Students given set of cards with methods of finding:
Percentages and Fractions of amounts,
Area and Perimeter,
Volume,
Averages.
The cards include some wrong methods, and also the different methods that can be used.
I designed this to use with Level 1 & 2 FS students but can be used with any age students.
There are 3 pairs of simultaneous equations with their solutions for groups/pairs to sort out and work out which solutions go with which pair of equations.
Students are given a number of different events, which they will then discuss the likelihood of them happening, and place in the groups headed:
Impossible, unlikely, evens, likely, certain.
A fun activity, that is use to evaluate the understanding of students who have been learning about the area and perimeters of triangles and rectangles.
Would suit any age/year group who have covered this topic, and can be used as revision and to recap previous learning.
I have used it with different classes in secondary schools and in colleges and it always engages. You can offer small prizes to the winners, which adds a bit of competition into the activity.
The resource includes a slide with all the possible answers, from which the students have to choose 16 to fill a 4x4 game grid (If time is limited can use a 3x3 grid).
There are 35 bingo slides, which can be shuffled if you want to mix up the order. These slides show either triangles or rectangles with some dimensions. You can either then ask individual students for answers, or just ask the class.
