This idea came from "andorian" who has a worksheet to prompt discussion. I then recorded the students ideas on this PowerPoint. Afterwards they made a "This is now a phone free school" poster.
It's not that good a resource and its certainly not worth putting a price on it but it may help you and make things a bit easier for your lesson. Hope it helps

Lots of questions for practice of finding solutions using trial and improvement. Some realted to solving algebraic equations some related to finding square roots of number s and some related to finding the lengths of rectangles given the area.

Set of cards for sharing out to the whole class. They work out the answers for their cards. You show the PowerPoint which gives the prompts and the students have to hand back their cards as theirs come up. Pretty simple but the kids love it. It wouldn't take much to edit the cards docx to turn it into a back up worksheet so that something can be put into their book.
Getting the students to discuss possible errors and decide on the difficulty of questions is good for improving understanding and good for you to assess misconceptions and progress.
There are eight incorrect expansions of algebraic brackets - the students have to identify the errors
Activity designed to reinforce, consolidate and master understanding of scatter graphs.
Attached is a list of 25 statements (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsQuestions.rtf) which are either true, false or something in between. The questions are graded where the first 5 are the roughly the easiest, next 5 are harder and so on. Each has a suggested answer, a explanation and a tip for giving the student a little bit more to think about (25TrueFalseScatterGraphsQ-A).
How can you use this?
a) Give the set of 25 cards (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsCards) to each table and then ask them to sort them into the categories of true, false, etc . (using the header cards - 4 versions to choose from). Discuss their choices and justify them. You could easily reduce the number of cards for lower ability tables or if in ability tables only given them just the easier cards. (You can see that I have done this with a subset of just 12 questions) but you may wish to pick off your own selection.
b) Give each student a TrueFalseScatterGraphsQQT.docx card and allow them to roam the room choosing a partner to "Quiz Quiz Trade" with. i.e. they read the statement to their partner. Their partner then suggests the answer and then is given the solution after a little discussion. Then they do the same for the other partner and then swap cards and then go and find someone else. you can give all the cards out according to ability and then say that you can only pair up with another student who has a same grade question (1 to 5) or a question of a grade one higher or one lower than you.
c) Display the statements on the projection screen (25QuestionsTrueFalsePPT) and have the class discuss the answers together.
This could be followed up by the students picking one statement and writing their explanation and justification into their exercise books. You can further extend the activity by asking students to choose a false statement and then writing it again so it becomes true.
If you spot any errors then please let me know asap. This is based on the work from lauramathswilson - another valued TES resources contributor - thank you to her for sharing it. I liked her idea and decided to develop it slightly to make it a collaborative table activity. I had actually seen the idea of doing true false for scatter graphs on a KS3 SAT paper (it's the last part on a L6 question on a non-calculator paper about Poplar trees) but lauramathswilson has taken it much further nicely.

Simply a sheet of notes and worked examples for working out the Mean Median Mode and Range. Two versions. The harder version is useful for finding missing values in sets of numbers when given the averages.

There's 23 questions here to ask your students as they are getting ready to end their year.
They are all positively phrased and the intention is to print out the sheet of cards, cut them out and then distribute them around the students. Ask them to discuss the answers. with their table mates.
There's no writing involved. The Questions.docx is there just so that you can see the questions easily and if you want you can edit them.
The PowerPoint is there to make it easy for you to display the questions if you choose to then discuss the questions as a class.
Enjoy. Hope it helps at the time of the year!

See the PNG file first for the original question....
You are given two numbers on a number line. You know that that there are two numbers between them. The gaps between the four numbers are all equal. Find the missing numbers.
You can do lots of practice on this together as a class. The worksheet attached just allows them to get on with something on their own.
You can use the generator Excel file to create more sheets.

Check out my shop and other resources on TES including many "Premium" resources.
If you find this worksheet useful please leave a positive review. Thanks
Objective: Be able to find the percentage of a quantity (such as money amount) using a non calculator method.
Real simple starter. Display the PowerPoint on the whiteboard. Print out the Starter worksheets onto A6 sized sheets or even 2 x 2 Label Sheets and the students come in, see the displayed slide and know to get straight onto their "bell task". Great way to settle them down. Use as a recap for last lesson or like I did to push them onto a harder example that just whole numbers.
Use the enclosed Answers to check their working and so understanding.
I call this method "Percentage by Quick Routes".. Usually taught via "bubble" or "spider" charts. See my other resources for more examples.

Objective: Know common equivalents between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages.
10 simple questions which they should know (rather than have to work out).
10 Questions on a PowerPoint. Ready to show. Just give the class a small slip of paper. Ask them to write down 1 to 10 and then show them the questions. Once done swap the papers and then continue through showing the answers - asking the students to share how they did it or knew it.

Objective: Convert between common fractions, decimals and percentages and know common equivalents
A simple table collaborative group activity worksheet where the students fill in as many sets of fractions decimals and percentage equivalents that they can remember. It is a good settling starter activity or a good recap plenary exercise to end with.
Once they have done several minutes or so, start reading out sets of answers like "1/2 = 0.5 = 50%", etc. Then when you have exhausted your list ask the students to read out any more they have. Then award points to the most unique ones a table has. Most points = winning table.
It's a good activity which gets them communicating as they try to get unique sets of equivalents.
