Twenty Ideas for Improving the Progress of Pupil Premium Disadvantaged students I’m not an academic and many of these below are not based on verifiable evidence. However, they seem to work for me.

mgh168 has come up with a superb engaging innovation on the classic two dice problem. I've used a couple of times over the last few days with several different classes and so here are some of the resources I've created. You can find the original TES resource "China River Crossing. Sample Space.Probability" by mgh168. The China River Game is very good and these files then take the students on from it. There is some data from a class and what dice scores they got - the spreadsheet can be easily amended to collect your class data. The Circus sheet is a task sheet for them to prompt discussion on outcomes - I have done this as a short 10 minute activity as a part of a whole lesson of students moving around many probability 'circus' activities. The Pier sheet can be printed onto A3 for the China game. The fact sheet will be useful. The ChinaBoatWS is useful for taking the understanding further. See the PowerPoint of the images of 10 student sample layouts on the piers. The Dice Bingo is a very good plenary/review. It's amazing how many students still insist on putting 12 on it. I also did the original experiment of rolling the two dice and looking at the scores. A SMART notebook is included for doing this including a graph WS for recording the scores. It's all free so download and you'll see what all the files are as they are obvious when you open them. If you find it useful do visit my TES shop and see my other resources on TES including many premium resources which I hope will save you lots of preparation time.

My colleague and I came up with these targets to use for our Y5 to Y8 Maths end of year reports where we have to give each and every student one single Maths specific target to work on. We will probably add some more when we start the reports but for now we had to get a starting point. These may be a good starter for anyone else who is having to do this. There are only nine statements (there are eleven but two are gender specific) but we think they should pretty much cover everything. An example is "Recall knowledge and apply this to solve problems." If you like this resource and find it useful then please leave a positive review. Many thanks.

Objective: Convert between common fractions, decimals and percentages A simple table worksheet (WITH ANSWERS INCLUDED) where the students fill in the blanks. If you display the PowerPoint on the interactive whiteboard and give them a copy of the worksheet (on A5 to save resources) as they come into the room it is a good settling starter activity.

All you would need for a probability lesson on coins. Some of these activities have been done as part of a circus of many activities where the students move around every 10 minutes or so however you can certainly build a lesson around these activities. Many more Circus Probability activities are listed on my TES Resource pages. If you like and find useful the please leave a positive review. Thank you.

Probability Tree Diagram Template Worksheets A4

C3B4Me Poster and Exercise Book Sticker Seen this idea which I've adapted for my learners. It relies on having your classroom wall displays up to date so that students can always see display related to the work they are doing. You have to work to get the balance right between not answering their hands up when they are stuck and helping them..The intention is that they should become resilient independent learners.

Just a load of keywords for posters and displays. There's a simple short "Circus" type activity task as well (I have other Circus activities listed). The graded keywords may help you as I've tried to differentiate them. Any of these words can be printed out and laminated on A5 size cards for the "SNATCH MATCH" game. This is where the words are blu tacked to the wall and students stand a metre away. Teacher (or a TA or competent pupil) asks questions where the answer is one of the snatch match cards. The students are usual;ly in two teams facing the wall. Two students at a time have the opportunity to snatch the right card. Loads of fun!

Worksheet with about 40 questions on whether numbers are divisible by three or not Answer sheet included Instead of them writign on the worksheet you could get them to write questions in their books. I've included a copy of the top of the WS on a template for 2 x 4 labels - Pupils stick one of these in instead of copying out the top of the workheet. They then attempt as many questions as they can from the worksheet in the time you give them. Advantage of this is that you don't end up with half finshed exercise sheets glued in their books.

Objective: Simplify algebraic expressions by collecting like terms and then simplifying. 12 questions which identify particular types of questions like "a- a = 0" and not "0a", etc. The questions are inspired from an excellent worksheet published by mathsmalakiss. I've used his/her worksheet and then used this as a starter for the next lesson. Worksheet is designed to be printed out as two pages on A4 to save paper. Answer sheets included :) If you like this then do check out my many other Maths activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas.

Indicates to your learners which of the five levels of noise are approriate within the classroom for each activity. Print out and laminate or display on your projection screen. What you are getting is the idea of the volume meter (which isn't mine - thanks to MrPhillips for that), the content of the text, i.e. the five descriptions of the activity and my idea to use the dB meter (which I drew myself). MS PowerPoint and PDF copy included. Please note that included PPT & PDF do not have the pictures for groups on (i.e. the 3D men) as seen on the thumbnail cover image. I didn't have the rights for those pictures, but you can easily find some to add in yourself. Search for "3D men Group", etc. If you like this then do check out my many other (mainly Maths) activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas.

Objective: Simplify algebraic expressions by collecting like terms and then simplifying. I've given the answers but they are not fully correct or they are incorrect. The students need to identify the errors and make them right. As an extension ask them to pick a question and write up a really good explanation of how not to make that mistake again. Answer Sheet included :) 11 questions which identify particular types of questions like "a- a = 0" and not "0a", etc. The questions are copied from an excellent worksheet published by mathsmalakiss. I've used his/her worksheet which you can download yourself.

Hi all. I've found the "Flag colouring/football kits investigation" posted by another TES contributor "humel". It's a really nice simple idea which works well. I'm going to use it tomorrow to keep a class occupied whilst there is lots of other end of term distractions going on. See "humel"'s pages for the idea but here attached to this is a set of solutions and a PowerPoint which has timed "Transitions" and is looped so that you can leave it running on the projection screen. You can easily remove the transitions if you wish. You may notice that the PPT is more than 27 slides long in case the SMART Board software displays the number of slides and hence gives the game away.
